A/N: I'm sorry about the lack of update yesterday. I simply couldn't ignore my coursework any longer!
"Have we covered everything?"
"I think so."
"Are you sure you all want to do this?" Coulson asked Romanov, Ward and Skye.
"Yes" was the reply from all of the agents.
"Check your 'shutes, we'll be there soon"
Ward checked the strapping on Romanov's parachute and then she did the same to Ward. When she was satisfied she fixed a harness to Skye. She had never parachuted before and they all felt this was NOT the time to be teaching her. When Romanov was satisfied Skye's harness was secure she fastened Skye to Ward.
Everyone came in to watch them jump. Coulson lowered the access ramp and Ward, with Skye, and Romanov took up their positions.
"Mission is a go, in three, two" Coulson counted.
"We have something we need to tell you guy's" Skye said.
Everyone looked at her.
"One". Coulson finished
Ward and Romanov jumped backwards out of the plane, the others could hear Ward shouting something, they weren't entirely sure what it was.
They stood there very confused, watching the monitors. Skye's heart rate was all over the place, Ward's was holding steady and so was Romanov's. The eye-cam Romanov was wearing was working perfectly.
They saw Romanov land and as she looked up they saw Ward and Skye untangling themselves from their parachute. They turned the microphone system on (they didn't want to know what a 30,000 foot drop sounded like).
"We're online, Can you hear us?"
"I can" Romanov confirmed
"Me too" Ward confirmed
"Me three" Skye confirmed, after scrubbing her wrist a couple of times.
"And now we wait." Ward said.
The three of them took up positions on a rock.
"Blue eyes?" Simmons asked.
"Yes?"
"Did I hear you right when you jumped of the 'bus? Did you say you and Skye got married?"
They heard a chuckle down the microphone, and from behind. Apparently Romanov and Hawkeye both knew.
"Yeah. I did."
"We thought we'd tell you before we went on a mission where there is like a 95% we're gonna die"
"How thoughtful! When the hell did you two have the time to get married?"" Coulson demanded.
"Asgard"
"Of course."
"We have company" Romanov told them, halting the conversation. She had seen the black SUV's on the horizon.
"Stay safe, all of you. Commencing radio silence until intervention point bravo."
"Copy"
"Agent Romanov, Agent Ward and Agent?" Deep voice asked as his men tied them all up, clearly recovered after being shot by May.
"Skye"
"Skye, that's a pretty name by the way, welcome to the worst day of the rest of your lives"
"I've had worse" Romanov pointed out.
They were patted down for transmitters, and when none were found a bag was placed over their heads and they were bundled into a van. How long they were in the van they didn't know, but when they were dragged from it they felt their restraints being retied and then they were lifted from the ground.
Back on the 'bus Fitz and Simmons were tracking the agent's movements. They saw from the video feed that their faces had been covered. They could still hear every word though.
"We should just kill them"
"The boss wants them alive, he wants our weapon back"
The team tracked the convoy for 130 miles to a house in the middle of nowhere. Then they heard a voice that made May and Hawkeye's voice run cold just as the video feed came back on, confirming their fears.
"You two are a pain in my arse" They heard someone say as the sacks over Romanov, Ward and Skye's heads heads were removed.
"You're behind all this?" Ward asked, shocked. Romanov couldn't speak. Skye didn't have a clue what was going on.
"Coulson, How's the crater hunt going?" Fury asked him over the video feed in the Lounge. He would have answered it in his office but he didn't have time to get there without it being suspicious.
"Every crater is the same, Sir. We get there and all we find is an enormous amount of Electromagnetic energy. The most we have come up with are that they are all located at convergence points around the world."
"Convergence points. How the hell do you know about convergence points? They're classified Top Secret."
"Ward and Skye, Sir. They learned of them on their little trip to Asgard."
"Ward and Skye ended up in Asgard?"
"We have a problem" Hawkeye told Coulson as he burst his way into the Lounge "Busted"
"Hawkeye, What the hell are you doing on the 'bus?"
