A/N: I've been working out this chapter a bit, so we're gonna be seeing the start of the mission, yay! I'm hoping I don't do horribly with the action scenes, but if i do, please let me know. Review, pm, whatever. I want to make sure I'm not making any of you lovely people unhappy with this fic.

Disclaimer: A girl can dream, but sadly, no.

Chapter

"Gather up, we're about to start the final run through."

Skye leaned against the holotable, Ward glued to her side. His eyes swept over the 3D blueprints rising out of the screen. Lasers tagged around corners of the copied halls.

"May and Simmons, the two of you are going to be looking for a computer. The most accessible seem to be in the security office. It's past the main foyer and ballroom. It's likely to be guarded, which is where Simmons comes in. While May is planting Skye's virus, you need to distract the officer on duty."

"How do you propose I do that sir?"

"You'll figure something out. Skye and Fitz, you two are on the floor. Comms are going to be managed automatically from the Bus. Your job is to distract Earhls security detail long enough for Ward and I to grab him. There's supposed to be three men accompanying him at all times. They all need to be out of the picture before we can do anything. Ward and I will start with the two of you, and we'll tail him until we get a clear window. Then it's on us. We get Earhl away from his security detail, we may have won this fight against centipede."

"Wheels down in an hour," May said, "So go get cleaned up."

Cleaned up is one way to put it. It's black tie. Ward, Coulson and Fitz are all decked out in tuxes. May has a sleek black dress on, a slit running from mid thigh down, perfect for kicking people in the face if need be. Simmons is dressed in a nice blue frock, black embroidery hemming the bottom and black collar at the top.

"Skye, c'mon. We gotta go."

"I don't like this."

"I bet you look fine. Just come out," Ward argued back.

She came out, wearing a wine colored dress that went to stop a few inches above her knees. Her hair was pulled back in an up-do, curls drifting around her cheeks.

"See? Fine," Simmons said.

They proceeded to Lola. Coulson hardly ever took his prized car out of the cargo hold, so it was an even bigger surprise when he handed the keys to Ward.

"You take Skye in Lola. And if I see a scratch on her, there'll be hell to pay."

Ward wasn't sure if he was talking about the car or the girl. He opened the door for Skye as the other four loaded up into two other of the nicer vehicles.

"You look gorgeous," he tells her.

"I look like a fool," she corrects him, leaning on her arm outside of the car.

"Hey," he takes her hand, rubbing his thumb over the back. She turns to look at him.

"You're going to do great. And you'll be the most beautiful woman on that floor tonight. I promise you that."

He pulled her hand up and kissed her knuckles, "I promise."

She grants him with one of those secret smiles again, and he grins in return. Then, the bay door descends, and they're off into the star tracked night.

Short Chappie, haven't had a lot of time lately. Sorry lovelies, but I'll try to be back next week with some more SkyeWard goodness. And hey, barely a month till

season 2. Until then, please review. They are fuel to my creative soul. Tell me what you liked, what you didn't, what you want to see happen, and PM me with

prompts anytime. I may or may not put them in this fic, I already have a basic direction of where this is gonna go, but itf there's anything you want me to write

in general, leave it in a review or a PM.

Till next time.

Kisses!
