Skye gazed in amazement as she watched her parents zip down from the second story of the Cybertek building dressed in Fitzsimmons' clothes. She got out of the driver's seat and stood in front of them as they dusted themselves off.

"Damn. That's what I can an extraction. Bad. Ass.", said Trip.

"Hell yah.", Skye walked over and nudged him, "Hey… those are my parents right there."

"It's all her.", Coulson said pointing to May, "You should have seen her take out that security guard in the hallway. Hot."

Skye made a nauseous face as she watched them make flirty faces at each other.

"Yo uh… why don't you guys save that for later. We got some bad guys to catch."

"Right. Everyone in the van."

They made their way back to the motel and started looking into the files they took from the

Palo Alto office. They uncovered the fact that Garrett was the first version in the Deathlok program.

"How do we know Garrett didn't do that to Ward too? Maybe he's been programmed.", said Fitz.

"Fitz, when are you going to stop clinging to the idea that Ward's the victim and not the perpetrator?"

"When I see something that tells me I shouldn't with my own two eyes. We don't know all the facts."

Skye was tired of hearing Fitz's in denial theories.

"You want a fact, Fitz? Gra- Ward murders people.", she stopped talking to him and started to talk to herself. "I should have let Mike finish him when I had the chance. I'm stupid and- and weak."

Coulson and May looked over at each other. He nodded to let her know he could handle Skye.

"You weren't weak. You had compassion, that's harder.", Skye wasn't buying it. "We'll get him."

A pizza guy walked into the pool area.

"Pizza delivery for Pablo Jimenez?"

It took a while before Coulson realized it was him.

"Oh uh. That's me."

When he turned around to pay for the pizza Skye stormed into her room.

"Pablo Jimenez? Really?", said Fitz.

"What? Hydra might find us if I use my real name."

"But at a pizza place, Sir?"

"Do you want the pizza or not, Fitz?"

"Hand it over."

They all took a break and finished the pizzas. It disappeared rather quickly. None of them realized how much they missed non-plane food. May set a few slices aside for when Skye decided to come out. But she never did. She needed to talk to her. She knew for a fact that if Skye was anything like her, she shouldn't be hiding her emotions like that.

"You never came out to eat.", May said setting the pizza on the bed next to her.

"Not much of an appetite."

"Doesn't matter. All you've eaten in the past 24 hours is that piece of candy your father gave you last night.", she pushed the pizza closer to her. "Eat it."

"Fine.", she said as she took a bite.

May sat at the foot of her bed.

"You were pretty hard on Fitz out there. Wanna talk about it?"

"Not really. I just can't keep listening to his theories about Ward. Not when I know for a fact that there is nothing about that man that is worth redeeming."

"Fitz can't process the truth about Ward. Not yet. He'll come around. But right now that's what he needs to believe."

Skye finished her pizza.

"Do you think he's being controlled?"

"Absolutely not. You?"

"At first, I thought it was a possibility. I was hoping he had whatever Mike has. That he was being forced.", her eyes began to water but she pushed it down. "But then when I saw the two of them together I knew it couldn't be. Mike- he… he was a statue. A robot. When he was doing his orders from Garrett he didn't show any emotion. Because that's not who he is. But Grant… it seemed natural for him to be in the position of a kidnapper. He says that he still loves me. And once this is all over we can go back to the way we were. But the version of him I got to know was an act.", she ran her hands over her face. "Uggh this is so messed up."

"What's new? You're entire life's been messed up."

Skye laughed at her bluntness.

"Got me there. What do you think about this whole Ward thing?"

May's face tensed up.

"What do you think? I'm pissed. Furious, actually. Maybe not as much as you, but close."

"How do you keep it down? I'm one broken nail away from rage punching this pillow."

May scoffed.

"Tip from a former pillow puncher: don't waste that hate on a tantrum."

"What do you mean?"

"All that hate? Push it down. Save it. It won't go away, but it will come out when it needs to."

"Is that what you're doing now? Pushing it down?", May nodded, "I wish it were that easy for me."

"I'm up most mornings at 5."

Right after that there is a knock at the door, though, it doesn't really matter since Coulson doesn't wait for an answer before he comes in.

"Trip ID'd a number of Cybertek shipments that ping pointed across the globe. Brazil, Cambodia, Syria, but they all ended up in Havana.:

"SHIELD used to have a base there.", May added.

Coulson smiled.

"I told you we'd find them. We're going to Cuba.", he slammed the door as he rushed back to his room to pack up. May and Skye jumped at the sound of the loud noise.

The team landed in Cuba. Coulson, May, Skye and Trip went to check out the base Garrett and his men were and Fitz and Simmons went to track down the bus.

Hydra had left the base by the time the four of them got there. But Skye still had a way to track them. They just needed to get into the base. Despite running into a few super soldiers, they managed to get the job done.

The four of them managed to make it back to the quinjet and they waited for Fitzsimmons to make contact. But they never did.

"No."

"We can't think about that right now. They may have been captured. Either way they risked everything to put a tracker on that plane for us. Now we know exactly where Garrett is, and Skye can see what he's doing.", Coulson could tell Skye was still thinking the worst about what happened to Fitz and Simmons. "If Fitz and Simmons are still alive, then catching Garrett is our only shot at finding them."

After a few hours of flying they were 30 minutes from landing near the Palo Alto Cybertek office.

"Trip and I will crest the ridge, use a noisemaker to grab a three-wheel, maybe something with more fireworks and open a window for you two.", he said to May and Skye. "You crawl in, grab the dealer, force his hand. He'll get us our ace in the hole the Bob's your uncle."

Skye finished loading the last of her gun and stood up.

"Roger that."

"Makes it sound easy."

"Phil, it's a solid plan you've mapped out, but it hinges on a gamble, a big one."

"And back up isn't coming. It'll be just the four of us. We'll be outmanned and outgunned. But Fury always said… a man can accomplish anything when he realizes he's apart of something bigger. A team of people who share that conviction can change the world. So what do you say? You ready to change the world?"

Trip and Skye smiled and nodded in agreement.

"No.", May said as she stood up. She clicked the mag and finished, "I'm ready to kick some ass."

Coulson couldn't help but smile.

"That works too."

They landed at a dirt lot not too far from the offices.

"K, I'm gonna go check out where we should attack. Call you when I get a location.", Trip said to Coulson as he left the jet.

"Skye we should get into position too. We don't have that much time."

"Got it."

They turned to walk out of the jet.

"Wait.", said Coulson. He stood up and stood in front of the two of them. "While you're out there kicking ass and being your regular badass selves-", he sighed, "Be careful. It was hard enough losing both of you once. I-I can't do that again."

May and Skye smiled at eachother.

"We'll be careful, Dad. You won't lose us. I promise."

He grabbed the two of them and kissed both of their heads. Skye smiled and turned around to leave. May waited until she was completely off the plane to speak.

"Don't you do anything stupid. Like threatening an alien god with a weapon you don't even know the abilities to.", she said sarcastically.

"I won't.", he said with a big smile on his face. He pulled her closer and put his lips on her's. It was a long one. He didn't plan on it being a long one, it just kinda happened. And she didn't pull away. All he could think about was how much he loved her. When he came to his senses he separated. He stared into her eyes and said, "Will you marry me?"
