A/N: I found this hard to start, but once the banter began, it just rolled on. Hope you like the lightness after the heaviness of previous chapters. Though there may be a little bit of tension remaining, if you can spot it. There hasn't really been much time or space for them to vent and relax, has there? Maybe I can slot it in somewhere, but I don't want to bring the tempo of the story to a standstill.

Thank you to annavale23, changingdestiny40, Fandoms8 and Maddison1803 for your reviews! :3

Kara thought that it seemed to be theme for them, road tripping. Like it wasn't the right time to settle down for any of them. Or maybe that was just S.H.I.E.L.D. and its bruised ego.

In any case, she mused, watching Skye and Grant quietly banter in the front seat. We need a fresh place to start.

She had taken up the entirety of the back seat, one leg propped up on the leather, the other dangling onto the floor of the sedan. It was quite comfortable, considering they'd been driving for a few hours already. Although the comfort could quite easily be contributed to the wad of pillows she'd stuffed under her back.

Bored for the moment, she checked her phone for the time. 12:45pm. Time for lunch. She thought, glancing to the front. A smirk crossed her lips as she realised the perfect opportunity she had. Unlocking the phone, she accessed the camera feature and quickly took a snapshot of Grant and Skye giggling, holding hands and watching each other with the most loving expressions.

Interesting. If this were anyone else, I'd probably feel nauseous. Kara observed as she swiped through her photo gallery. I need more Skyeward photos. She grouched.

"Kara?" Grant calling her name drew her out of her moody ministrations. "You alright?" he glanced at her repeatedly in the rear-view mirror as he drove.

"Yeah, why?" she feigned nonchalance. Of course she knew why he was asking.

"You just suddenly seemed a bit unhappy, that's all." He replied, obviously worried.

Skye, you have no idea how lucky you are to have won his heart! "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just S.H.I.E.L.D. finding us in the middle of Yellowstone, that's all."

"It is weird how they did that." Skye agreed, frowning. "You don't think they put a tracker on me, do you?"

"It would've shown up when the hospital checked you." Grant assured her. "They may have access to military satellites, courtesy of General Talbot."

"Right." The girls chorused in resigned monotone.

"How far to Cortez?" Skye asked almost immediately, changing the topic to the gratitude of Grant and Kara.

"We're not even in Colorado yet, Skye." Grant chuckled. "We'll get there tomorrow morning."

"Don't tell me you're driving through the night again." Skye scolded. "You did that last night. You need to sleep."

"I'll be fine, Skye. Trained specialist, remember?"

"For combat, not driving across America!" She retorted.

Kara laughed quietly to herself as the bickering continued. "Guys!" she cut in, halting their conversation midway. "I'll sleep now, and I'll drive overnight. Deal?"

"Deal." Skye agreed at the same time as Grant protested.

"No deal! You did the same thing!"

"Out of the two of us, I slept most recently." Kara stated. "Stop trying to take everything on your own shoulders."

"I'm not–"

"You are, Grant." Skye softly interrupted him. "Let Kara drive."

"But–"

"Would you rather I drive overnight?"

"No!"

"Then we're settled." Skye said smugly, sitting back and winking at Kara as Grant spluttered for a reason elsewise.
