Coulson finally narrowed the search for the clairvoyant down to three people. He invited other level 8 agents onto the BUS to assist them on a mission.

"Coulson, we can't make her an agent just because she's your daughter.", Agent Hand said.

"That's not the reason I want to do this. She's done so much to distribute to this team. She gives her all during every mission. She has a skill set that really brings something different to S.H.I.E.L.D.- something we need. She almost gave her life for god's sake."

"Ok, bring her up."

"Baby- top brass wants to see you upstairs.", Ward said to Skye as he walked into the lab.

"I didn't do it."

"Do what?", Ward said suspiciously.

"Nothing. Let's go upstairs."

"You wanted to see me, Dad- Agent Coulson.", Skye had to be extra formal in front of the other agents.

He told her about his plan to find the Clairvoyant.

"Yeah, pairing off makes total sense. Just one thought though, what if we make it a double blind?"

"How so?", Hand said skeptically.

"Well I'll give one person from each team the potential Clairvoyant's coordinates, and I'll give the other one the identity. That way no one person knows the full specs of the op until you get there."

"I like how you think.", Garrett said, "I like how she thinks."

"One question- how am I supposed to access all the classified files without someone in the room? I don't have clearance."

"Well now you do.", he reached into his pocket and took out a S.H.I.E.L.D badge, "Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D, Skye."

She stood there in shock. Everyone was looking at her. May even brought Fitzsimmons out of the lab.

"I- I don't know what to say. Thank you."

"Don't thank me. You've passed every required S.H.I.E.L.D exam with flying colors."

"For a level 1 agent.", Hand had to say.

"You've assisted us on multiple field missions, you put your life on the line. You earned this."

"Hell, you took two in the gut. More than Sitwell here's ever done."

"Ok everyone, back to work."

The team congratulated her as they went back to their work stations. And then it was just her and Ward. The one person she felt she really needed to thank.

"You know, I couldn't have done it with out a great and very important S.O."

"Yeah you could've."

"Thanks but- I really should thank you for being a great boyfriend. I'm so glad you kidnapped me from the back of my van."

"Me too.", he said while laughing, "I'm no Clairvoyant, but I do believe some things are meant to be."

The room was empty, so he leant down and kissed her.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Agent Skye."

"Ok that sounds weird. I'm gonna have to fix that."

"What do you mean?"

"My parents told me the name I had before- everything. Maybe I should change-"

"Skye we need you in the cage.", said Coulson over the intercom.

"I'll leave you to it, Agent name to be determined."

There were three pairs sent to find three potential Clairvoyants: Coulson and Garrett, Ward and Trip, and May and Blake. Some how, the Clairvoyant knew where everyone would be and he sent people to kill each of them. But Blake as the only agent who got hurt; and that was only because Deathlock was there.

Luckily, Blake shot Mike with a tracking bullet so they went to his location. It was an abandoned building in Pensacola, Florida. They brought squads of men and sealed off the building. Skye and Fitz ran backup from the tactical van. Ward was extra careful with Skye's safety when dealing with the Clairvoyant so he had some men protect her.

They searched through the entire building for Deathlock. Coulson followed him down to the basement level, where he met Garrett. There they found the Clairvoyant, Thomas Nash. He was sitting in a wheel chair, hooked up to a bunch of medical equipment, staring at surveillance feed. He needed computer to talk for him. Ward, may and the rest of the men came into the room once they confirmed it was him.

"I will join Raina in your prison, Agent Coulson, but I will see you where ever you go, just as I saw you holding your daughter, Skye in your arms, bleeding... dying... knowing it was all your fault.", the computer said.

This guy killed a lot of people. He was the one who ordered his daughter to be shot. He wanted to make him suffer.

"You're going away. We're gonna stick you in a little box where no one will ever hear you again."

"I see you're angry. Head clouded with lies. You've been betrayed and now you fear what's about to happen."

"Nothing's about to happen. Just more empty threats from you."

"No. It is the inevitable. A force beyond your comprehension is coming for you- You and Skye. She has something we want and she will die giving it to us. I have seen it."

The Clairvoyant kept mentioning Skye and how he was going to kill her. Coulson, May and Ward started to get really worked up.

"Go to hell.", Coulson said as he walked closer to him.

"No matter where I go or what you do to me, I will always-"

Ward shot The Clairvoyant. It wasn't tactical, it wasn't strategic, it was out of rage.

He was hand cuffed and locked into the cage on the bus. Coulson requested that he stay with the team. His first visitor was Skye.

"Why'd you do it, Grant."

"I lost it. I got angry. He pushed all the right buttons."

"Dad said the mission was to capture, not to kill."

"Think about what the clairvoyant said, what he's done. Think about the centipede program, how he experimented on innocent people like Mike Peterson, how he kidnapped and tortured Coulson, how he ordered Quinn to shoot you. And he wasn't gonna stop, Skye. Not until you... I wasn't gonna let that happen."

"So, what happens now?"

"I face a S.H.I.E.L.D. review board. What ever the punishment I'll take it. I deserve it. But I don't regret what I've done. You don't?"

"No. Not if it means the girl I love is safe."

Skye was unsure how to feel about what he did. So she left and went to Coulson's office.

"Dad, mind if I talk some stuff through with you? Are you busy?"

"I'm worried."

"About Ward?"

"Yeah."

"I know I can't believe he just killed someone like that."

"I'm worried he killed the wrong man. How do we know it was him? He never spoke. The computer spoke for him. How de we know he was the one controlling it?"

"Are you saying Nash could have been pretending to be the clairvoyant?"

"I'm saying Nash could have been a prop."

"And now he's dead."

"After the attacks led us right to him. The investigation all wrapped up in a neat little bow. I feel like he could still be watching us right now, in our heads."

"Or in our files. When you told me to check into the Psych evals, you said something. You said 'read his mind'. And it got me thinking and Ward said that the Clairvoyant knew how to push all the right buttons."

"Raina did that to me too."

"Did she mention your father's death? Your Psych evaluation called it a defining moment. These aren't just personality tests. They're surveillance on every agent- pictures, stats, where you've been stationed, who you'd visit, where you'd like to eat."

"Half-moon pub."

"Excuse me?"

"Your mom and I- we go there every time we catch a break when the team is at the hub. He's been monitoring us. Think about it. The clairvoyant only knew we'd be at Quinn's villa-"

"After I dropped a tracker. And the only thing he's had trouble seeing is what happened to you after you died."

"Because director fury wouldn't release that file to anyone."

"No."

"The Clairvoyant doesn't have abilities. He has security clearance. He's an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Coulson left the room and headed straight into wards room.

"Sir, first off I wanna say-"

"Save it. I don't want your apologies. I don't want your excuses"

"I'm not making excuses."

"The only thing I wanna know is whether you made the call yourself or did someone order you to do it."

"What?"

"Don't play dumb, Agent Ward. Just answer the question- Did someone order you to kill the Clairvoyant?"

"No. I made the call myself."

"Why'd you shoot him."

"Because! He's done so many horrible things. But worst of all he threatened Skye. I wasn't gonna let him touch her."

"But your trained for this sort of thing. You're supposed to be the best, that's why I picked you for this team. Your evaluation said that you had trouble showing emotions. That you had personality issues. Now look at you. Haven't you changed?"

"I wasn't put on your plan so you could make me a better person, Coulson. You put me here to make the hard call, and I made it."

"That's not what I asked you, Agent Ward."

"I answered your question. I wasn't working with anybody. I take full responsibility for my own actions."

"Then why-"

He was interrupted when the plane made a complete turn and knocked him over.

"What the hell is this Ward!"

"This isn't me. I swear."

He got out his phone and dialed for May who was in the cockpit. She didn't answer. He rushed into the cockpit and found May on the floor unconscious.

"Oh god, Melinda.", he sat her up against the wall.

"Phil- I don't know what's happening. The plane just turned around."

"Can you turn it back?"

She got up and attempted to regain control of the plane, but it was no use.

"I can't steer it. Someone's controlling our plane from the ground."

"You mean SHIELD is doing this?"

"Yeah."

"Oh god we're in trouble.", he called Skye's phone, "Skye? We were right. See what you and Fitz can do to interrupt the signal from the hub."

"Phil what's happening. You were right about what?"

"The Clairvoyant is a SHIELD agent. And she's controlling this plane."

"She?"

"I think Victoria Hand is the Clairvoyant."

FYI: in this version of the story Fury didn't ask May to watch Coulson. Therefore, she doesn't know about the alien blood that saved him and Skye. I felt that if I added this to the story there would be too much going on. I wouldn't want to distract from what I have planned for this story in the next few chapters (sh*ts goin DOWN). And always:
