"So what, Ward's like a pod-person?", Skye said to Coulson after he told her what went down while they were out in the field.
"No, according to Lady Sif, the men Lorelei controls don't forget who they are or what they know she just becomes the embodiment of all their desires."
"Well that makes me feel better."
Simmons felt the need to help her.
"Skye he's being mind controlled you can't blame him for-"
"I don't,", Skye interrupted, "Let's just fix it. Once we find them we can break her mojo or whatever and get Grant back right?"
"Yeah, once we get the collar's on the back on Lorelei's neck, the enchantment ends, but that's the problem. The collar caught a shotgun blast back in the desert. Fitz, you think you can fix it?"
"Well, the metal, the weight- it's similar to the berserker staff."
"But it presents its own set of countless unknown variables."
"You've got a couple hours."
"Ok I'm on it."
"What can I do.", Skye said as he started to walk out of the door. "Hey, dad. What about me? Don't you dare say nothing or tell me to sit down here and count ceiling tiles while my boyfriend is missing."
"Ward's got drop boxes and storage units all over the world. They're filled with currency, weapons, I.D.s. He's gonna use aliases, cash- anything to keep Lorelei off the radar. You're the best radar we have. Find them."
Then there she was- all alone in her med-pod searching for the man she loved and the alien woman he was momentarily in love with. Not weird at all. She searched everywhere using every algorithm she knew to find him. But she couldn't. He was a spy she knew it wouldn't be easy but she was getting frustrated. All she could do now was to wait for Ward to make a mistake and walk in front of a security camera. It took a few hours but she finally found him. She found him in Vegas checking into a hotel with her. Skye tried her best to not think about what they were gonna do in that room.
The team got to the hotel room but they were too late. Ward and Lorelei were long gone. Or at least that's what they thought. Once they got off the ground they soon learned that 'Bonnie and Clyde' had snuck onto the bus to take out Sif and destroy the collar- destroying anything or anyone in their way.
It was just Skye and Simmons in the med-pod when the bus took off unexpectedly. Simmons tried to get out but the door was jammed.
"What the hell is happening? Why are we taking off and why is this door jammed."
"She's here.", Skye said.
"What?"
"Grant and Lorelei are here. They're here for Sif. She's gonna brainwash every guy on this plane. We can't trust them."
"Oh god, Fitz."
"Great, now this bitch has my boyfriend, my dad and my best friend's best friend.", she looked back down at her tablet and saw that Coulson was making his way down. "Oh god, Simmons."
She grabbed the fire extinguisher and hid in the corner.
"Woah you're gonna knock out my dad with a fire extinguisher?"
"Do you have a better idea?"
"True. Hide he's coming."
Coulson removed the bar that was jamming the door and came walked in. Simmons swung the extinguisher aiming it at Coulson's head. But Coulson, being the trained spy he was, ducked and grabbed it away from her.
"Oh god."
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Sir, are you- you?"
"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well you're a guy and this chick controls guys."
"I haven't seen her yet. And I don't plan on it. Fitz has Sif locked in the cage."
"Dad, um. Fitz opened the roof. She's gone."
"Are you kidding? She's asgardian. Sifts still out there let her in."
"Wait where's May?"
"She's dealing with Ward right now. Simmons come with me."
Meanwhile, upstairs:
"Get out of her way, May.", Ward warned.
"She's controlling you, Ward."
"Maybe. But I don't care. I'd do anything for her."
"Really? What about Skye? You once said that about her."
"Whatever I had with Skye doesn't compare to how Lorelei makes me feel."
"You don't mean that. Snap out of it."
"Grant, I'm tired of this. Kill her."
Ward did his best to attack May, but she was not going down easy. Lorelei made her way down to the cage to take Sif's sword. But as she was about to pick it up, Sif dropped through the roof and put the collar on Lorelei's neck, ending any enchantment she had over a man.
Ward had a gun to May's head as the enchantment ended. He pulled the trigger put May took out the mag before.
May punched him in the face.
"Hey hey! May it's me. Ok I'm normal."
Sif came upstairs with Lorelei in cuffs and the collar.
"He speaks the truth Melinda May."
She punched him one more time.
Later that night in the cockpit:
"You beat up Ward?"
"Yup."
"Dammit I wanted to be the one."
"Phil, I beat him up because he was trying to kill me. You want to beat him up because dating your daughter."
"True. You actually had a good reason. But I wish I was there to see it. You know how much I like watching you fight."
Ward knocked on the cockpit door.
"May I speak to you two."
"What is it Ward."
"I really want to apologize for what I did today."
"You were being controlled. No one blames you."
"Thank you, sir. And Agent May? About what I said about Skye not comparing to Lorelei- I'd appreciate it if you not tell her."
"I won't say anything, Ward. Unless I have to."
"What does that me-"
Coulson looked back at him.
"It means you can leave now."
Ward left feeling like he just pissed off his hopefully future in-laws (which he did)
