Summary : Skye comforts Ward

xox

F : Jam in panty. Will keep her busy.

Skye did a double take on the text message she received from Fitz. She couldn't help the laugh that burst out of her. While, she tried to hold her laughter down as it pulled at her stitches, her phone beeped another message in.

F : Jem in pantry. Typo. Sorry.

Skye giggled as she imagined her accomplice typing quickly so as to not let Simmons know. In exchange for some hacking skills, Fitz was helping Skye to keep Simmons occupied. The Warden, as Skye called Simmons, was so watchful that Skye was desperate to bust out of the room for a few minutes. It was getting claustrophobic and there was nothing left for her to count. The ceiling tiles had lost its appeal after the seventh round of counting them. She texted Fitz back.

S : Aww... Nothing kinky. How sad. : (

F : Be nice or no deal. 10 mins. Go!

S : Thanks : )

Skye grinned gleefully as she pulled the blankets off her legs and gingerly swung her feet off the bed. Her feet almost made it to the floor when a voice caused her to groan.

"Just where do you think you are going?"

Skye turned to see her Supervising Officer standing by the door.

"Arrrgghhh! Not you too!" Skye buried her face in her hands. "I'm going to go insane!"

She heard Ward entering the room and dropping some items beside her before his hands gently pried hers off her face. He lifted her chin with a crook of his finger.

"Hey, what up?" he asked when she glared up at him.

Skye's frustration dissolved at his use of her favourite phrase. It came with her usual fake innocence expression. Coming from Ward, Skye couldn't control a giggle to escape her.

"That's better," Ward said on hearing her giggle. "But where were you going?"

"I need to get out of here. Even for just 5 minutes. I need to see more than just these walls and equipments. I need to look out a window or porthole that opens to something other than another freaking wall. I don't care if I have to sit on that hard ramp and soak in the dusty heat from the tarmac. Just let me out!

"I really need to get out of here. Please Ward, please take me out of here before I go nuts! Fitz is helping me keep the Warden busy up there. I don't have much time."

Skye shook his arm, "Please Robot, please."

Ward studied her before sighing. He held his hand out for her and tilted his head towards the door.

"You know Rookie, you shouldn't be calling me names if you want my help," he chastised her as he squatted to fit her feet into her slippers.

"Thank you Agent Grant Ward, my Super Reasonable Supervising Officer, Sir." Skye replied. "Or should I address you by one of your many aliases?"

"You know about those?"

"Yup. All 63 of them. Do you really think it is necessary to have a new identity in Antarctica. Who are you planning to lie to? The penguins? Or the walrus?"

"How did you - ?" Ward gasped at her and realized that he is talking to a top notch hacker. He gave up. "Never mind. Let's go Rookie. You have 8 minutes."

"Hey, what's all this?" Skye asked as she suddenly realized the items that he had placed on her bed.

"Just stuff that I thought you might have missed," Ward told her. "I don't know when you'll be released back to your room, so I brought those things down for you."

Skye picked up her purple cushion and hugged it tight. With the pillow to her chest, she cradled the Hula doll in her hand and brought it to her cheek. Her eyes suddenly shimmered as she looked up at him and whispered a thank you. Ward nodded silently as a happy smile grazed his lips.

"Come on, we better go," Ward told her as he picked up the last item on her bed and wrapped his around her shoulders.

"Did you dig in my drawer for this?" Skye asked as she fingered her favourite scarf.

"I didn't see anything when I pushed aside your purple bra, black silk boyshorts and that reddish coloured, lacey stuff with tiny white hearts to get to that wrappy thing. Let's go."

"Didn't see anything? Seriously?" Skye's arch her brow high.

"What?"

Skye giggled at Ward's red face and let him assist her out the room. The minute they were out of the lab, Skye made a shuffled bee-line for the punching bag.

"Awww! Punchie!" Skye hugged the sporting equipment tight. "You have no idea how much I've missed you! As soon as I'm cleared, we are so going to get together like old times! I've missed you so much!"

Ward watched Skye rubbed her cheek against the leather as she patted and hugged the punching bag as she would a teddy bear. His Rookie's actions were simply indescribable.

He wondered if he had made the right decision to stop what he felt for her a when she had lied to them. It was very hard to let her go. It had been so easy to let her in. Maybe he had been under her spell all along and he didn't know it, he thought.

They were sitting at the top of the ramp. The SUV helped to conceal them as they watched the maintenance unit moving about tending to the Bus. Instead of chatting away, Skye had remained quiet as she watched and absorbed the activity around the hangar. Ward had found a container for them to sit on. They sat side by side with Ward's shoulder and outstretched arm supporting her back.

"You are very loud," she finally said.

"What are you talking about?" Ward frowned as he turned to face Skye. "I've been quiet for the past 6 minutes."

"True," Skye nodded as she pointed to his head. "But your mind is busy and it's giving out noisy vibes. Too many things going on in there. Is it about what happened today? You, Lorelei, the spell? Anyway I can help?"

Ward remained silent.

"The offer for my shoulder is still open." Skye turned her head to look at him.

Ward gazed at her before letting out a small smile. His silence brought a clear meaning to Skye.

"But I get it if you don't or can't talk to me," Skye returned his smile although her eyes were sad.

"Skye - "

"Hey, it's ok. Don't worry about it," she told him and pulled his wrist to look at his watch. "I better get back to my cell."

Skye carefully moved away from his form and scooted off the container. Without word, Ward assisted her to her room and tucked her into bed. He left after telling her to behave.

Skye caught him faltered at the door but he continued out. His frown was obvious when he briefly glanced at her through the window before he disappeared down the corridor.

"What was that all about?" Skye asked herself.

To Be Continued...
