Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews, now that I am on break I should be able to update a whole lot more, depending on how fast I write.

I know people wanted a small Blackhawk story line but I am a huge WinterWidow (Winter Solider/Black Widow) fan from the comics and am really hoping their relationship appears in the movies.

Please review I am trying to update quicker now, I need the motivation and there are some really important things going on this chapter and in the next couple of chapters, so I want to know what people think.

Chapter 27 – Surveillance

Skye had the best night's sleep she had had in days, maybe the best sleep she'd had in the past five months. So to say she was annoyed to be woken by someone pounding on her door was an understatement.

Skye groaned, "Give me a minute."

Rolling over Skye realized she was alone in the bed. Although it annoyed her, it didn't surprise her. In fact she would have been surprised if Ward had actually stayed through the night. The pounding on her bedroom door continued but Skye quickly decided that answering it in her current state of undress wasn't the best idea. Her and Ward's activities during the night had been wild, passionate, filled with a desperate need to be close to one another and unfortunately Skye's clothes had paid the price. Getting out of bed Skye also noticed one of her lamps had also paid the price for her rush to get Ward into bed. The hunt for decent clothes took a while, the first shirt she grabbed was the one she'd worn the night before and it had been torn in their hurry to get it off. Finally finding something decent to wear Skye had a quick look around the room, she gave a brief thought about the fact that someone could have heard her and Ward during the night but then she realized that the only other room on this floor belonged to Fitz and hopefully he'd spent the night in Simmons' room.

Finally pulling the door open Skye was met by a very annoyed looking Melinda May.

The Calvary looked the hacker up and down before speaking, "Team meeting in five minutes. If you're not there I'm coming back to carry you down."

Without another word May turned and walked away, no doubt to tell FitzSimmons they shared the same fate.

Skye closed the door and sighed in relief, grateful it hadn't been Fitz to complain about the noise or even worse, ask what the noise had been.

Taking three of her five minutes Skye cleaned the room as best she could, picking up her clothes and disposing of the food wrappers that had accumulated during Ward's stay. She was about to head downstairs when she found the note on the pillow that had been Ward's.

I want to try for forever, but not today.

This can't happen again.

Turning the note over Skye saw more:

He said his name was Sir.

Surprisingly neither note made Skye angry, she had expected Ward to do a rapid back pedal after their night together, in fact what surprised her was the fact he admitted he wanted to try got forever. The note about her father was also a pleasant surprise, she had expected Ward to drop the subject completely hoping she would ignore it. Skye took it as a good sign that Ward knew her well enough to know she would want every last bit of information about her family, even something as simple as a name, true or not.

Taking a quick look at the clock Skye ran down stairs, there was no way she was having May come back to her room and threaten to carry her down.

Skye was glad to see that she wasn't the last member of the team to arrive at the meeting. She wasn't surprised that it was FitzSimmons that she had beaten, since Fitz had woken up the two of them had had a hard time being apart, in fact Fitz spent more time in Simmons' room than in his own. Taking a seat Skye ignored the looks that Coulson and May gave her, Coulson's was one of concern while May's was her usual impartial stare only it was now directed at Skye. As the clock hit the five minute mark May stood up, only to have Fitz Simmons come running through the door. May raised an eyebrow at the pair's appearance but said nothing, sitting back down instead. FitzSimmons quickly took their seats, Simmons gave Skye the once over and Skye smiled, which Simmons returned, obviously glad to see that Skye hadn't skipped another team meeting.

Skye looked at Coulson waiting for him to start, so she was slightly surprised when Natasha was the one who started talking.

"The primary purpose of this meeting is to tell you this base has been compromised."

Skye's blood run cold, her thought immediately went to Ward, wondering if he had been caught leaving her room. If anyone noticed Skye's reaction they said nothing and let Natasha continue.

"Over the last two, three days both Agent May and I have noticed surveillance on both the base and us if we leave it." She paused, leaving an opening for Trip to comment.

"Any threats?"

Natasha shook her head, "Not to us."

Skye read the meaning behind the assassin's words quickly, probably quicker than the others, "But to someone else?"

Natasha bit her lip, obviously debating what to tell the team, "Fury also had surveillance on the team, they've missed a check in, and Fury assumes the worst."

Skye thoughts returned to Ward but didn't say a word. If Ward wanted to contact the team he would, Skye had decided it wasn't her secret to tell.

Fitz wasn't as quiet with his reaction to Natasha's news, "Fury had surveillance on us. I thought Coulson was director now."

"Seriously Fitz," Simmons interrupted, "Someone who has been looking out for us is missing, maybe hurt or dead and your first thought is that they shouldn't have been there in the first place."

"Time out," Coulson interrupted the pair, knowing that they could quickly descend into an argument that could possibly last days, turning to the Black Widow he continued, "Is there anything we can do to help Fury's surveillance team?"

Skye tried to hide her worry, if they found out that the surveillance was Ward they wouldn't be so willing to help. She held back a sigh of relief when Natasha shook her head.

"Fury's handling it." Natasha paused, then added, "He's also recalled me, apparently Stark's about to do something stupid."

Coulson obviously held back to comment at the mention of Stark, "We're also going to move on," He didn't wait for comments, "If this base has been comprised then there maybe attacks coming."

Skye crossed her arms, "So where to next A.C?"

Natasha spoke up first, "Fury suggests…"

"No," Coulson cut in, "Fitz is right, Fury made me Director. If I'm going to rebuild SHIELD then I'm going to have to stop following Fury's orders. We're going to rebuild SHIELD, starting now. Pack your things we leave in an hour." He didn't wait for a response. Coulson left the room, followed quickly by May.

FitzSimmons and Trip took Coulson's departure as a sign to leave as well. Skye also got up to leave but Natasha grabbed her hand, pulling the hacker back, "Can we talk?"

Skye looked at FitzSimmons and Trip as they left the room and she smiled at Simmons, "You missed a button." The hacker smile widened as both Fitz and Simmons blushed and hurriedly follow Trip out of the room. Skye then turned back to Natasha, "Sorry, what did you want to talk about?"

Natasha looked Skye square in the eye, "How long have you known about the surveillance?"
