Chapter 4: The party of Ian Quinn and Skyeward's disastrous date!

Hello my lovely Twistinians, I'm here with this one here, because I had an alrightish idea, so without further ado...

-Grant's POV-

Skye wanted to go out for a date, so I started to plan everything and in the end, we'd end up in an hotel or in one of my safe houses. I wanted it to be perfect, because someone like her, needs to be treated right. She is an angel in disguise of an human being. I'm falling in love with her and she knows it. She's everything I dreamt of. I've the need to protect or rather I've to protect her from Hydra. They'll destroy her and I cannot let that happen. They already have destroyed to much to ever forget and to forgive. They do not deserve forgiveness, because they have caused to much destruction already. Innoncent lives have been taken and I wasn't able to save my younger brother and sister. I'm going to regret it, till the end of my life.

15 minutes later Skye had returned to her room. I was sitting on her bunk and suddenly she screams, because she thought that some thief was here. "Shh, Skye," I shut her mouth from behind and whisper into her ear, "it's me Grant." She bites my hand and says, "prove it!?" That's what I did, when I turned her around and kissed her cheek. "Grant."

"Yeah?!"

"Why are you still here?" She asks and I reply back, "uhm, I was waiting for you."

"For what?!" I smile, then I peck her lips and say, "I wanted to take you out on a date and we already have jumped a step ahead!" She gives me a confused look and asks, "which step?" I smirk and say, "try to guess it honey." That's the moment I should actually leave, but we got called in for a new mission. Silently we walked to the briefing room.

A few seconds later May had joined us, then came FitzSimmons and Trip. The only person missing was Coulson. When he finally came, he was dragging an enraged Miles.

"Where are you taking me? Why can't I stay in that comfy cell I was in?!" He shouted at Coulson, who then told him, "please keep quiet will you! I will ask a series of questions and you are going to answer them truthfully."

"And what if I don't?"

"Agent May or Agent Ward will handle you in their own ways and trust me," Miles gulps and Agent May smirks at him, "I'm more harmless than these two put together." Miles looks like he is about to faint. "AC you could use some of that truth serum, that you had given Robot over here, when you guys had kidnapped me from my van." The look on his face was price worthy.

After Miles finally had calmed down, we proceeded with the briefing as well as interrogation. Apparently Miles knows a man named Ian Quinn. Agent Coulson locked him up again, after he got what he wanted from him. Skye had already looked him up and said, "that man is some rich guy," I should have known it, "whose a fan of the newest technology. He is working for Hydra and is funding them too." Anger is cursing through me, when I hear Fitz say, "bloody hell, Hydra's everywhere."

"I'm sure they are within Shield too, if Garrett is one of them and then most probably his whole team is and they've contact with the leader of Hydra." Antoine concluded.

"I think you are right Agent Triplett." Simmons said and poor Fitz was glaring at them. "What's our mission?" I ask, because these three are getting on my nerves. "Going to Ian Quinn's party in Malta to gather some intel on Hydra! Ward and Skye," Skye smiles at me and I wink at her, "you'll be going there as guests and act as," I roll my eyes of the mention if you have joined the dark side. Apparently Quinn is a fan of Skye, so we have advantage," May completes Coulson's sentence, "that Hydra doesn't!?" Skye smiles brightly, before she frowns and says, "I never went to an high society party!?"

"Don't worry, I'll be there with you," I say and she smiles at me by enthusiastically saying, "now I can wear my pink dress," she winks at me, "that I had bought for special occasions!" Simmons then asks her, "can you show it to me please?" Skye grabs Simmons arm and leads her away, to her bunk. "Now we just need an invitation." Fitz says and Skye shouts from the hallway, "I already have one and I can take a plus one with me."

"When you both are finished looking at dress," Coulson says, "so that I can finish the briefing and send you both away." The girls give their consent and we all take a small break.

An hour later we heard both girls squealing like schoolgirls and Coulson seemed to be stunned by it. May looked amused, Trip looked like, "what happened?" Fitz was shouting, "bloody murder," and I was mildly irritated. "I'm going to get them." I say, May stops me and says, "it's better if I go." I nod. She leaves and comes back two minutes later, holding both girls gently by their ears. "Ow." May glares at Skye and she glares back at her.

A few seconds after their stare off, we finally found out, what we have to do. "Hold on guys, I have a marvellous idea."

"What's your idea Jemma?"

"What if Skye and Ward have date tonight?"

"What?!" Skye and I shout at the same time. I would love to go out an a date with her, but not like that. "Maybe Jemma has an idea, that will suit the situation perfectly." Fitz tried to calm us down. "You guys work with eachother well and Skye's plan worked out too."

"I was against the plan," I say, "the one she told us about," then Simmons interrupts me, "and you didn't oppose the real plan of hers, which..." and now Fitz finishes her sentence, "which we all knew about!"

"You guys knew?!" I ask them and they nod except for Trip, who looks very amused by it all. "Unbelievable. We are a team and I should know about the plans too." Skye gives me the "duh" look and says, "if we told you about the plan, you would have said no."

"Maybe I would have said yes." For a moment we look into eachother's eyes and forget that the outside world does exist, but it does. "Uhuh earth to Skye and Ward." FitzSimmons and Trip shouted into our ears. Skye slaps Fitz' head, who scowls at her playfully and she smirks at him. "If you guys are finished behaving like children," Trip interrupts May by saying, "then we could start with the mini mission." She glares at him and he just says, "love you too May!"

A few moments later, we had everything planned out and we already were in character. Jemma took Skye away to get her dressed up and the guys minus Agent Coulson took me to my room and gave me a grey coloured suit, a white shirt, a grey tie and a black pair of "fancy" shoes, like Skye would say. Five minutes later I was ready and nervously waiting for Skye. I counted until I reached the number twenty, a habit of mine, whenever I'm nervous or anxious.

When Skye came out of her bunk, my breathe hitched. She looks so beautiful in an elegant black evening gown with silver embroidery. After the middle the black faded into four different colours and those colours faded at the bottom to white. It was an a-line halter neck dress. "A halter neck dress?" I ask her, acting as, if I don't know anything about dresses. "Yeah it is," she answers back, "how did you know?!" I blush and say, "because of my older sister and her friends!?"

"Oh that must have annoyed you." She says thoughtfully. "No, I find it quite helpful!"

"Why?!"

"Because you look different in that dress of yours as always beautiful as well as your make up is on point." She frowns, "so I don't look good with in my normal clothes and make up." Oh god, she misunderstood me. "No, Skye," I walk towards her and when I was standing infront of her, I take her and say in a whisper, "you always do look beautiful to me. You just took me by surprise," she looks and me and is smiling now, "you look radiant and stunning!"

"You look great." She teases me. "Only great?!" I ask with a wounded look. "No, you do look handsome, I suppose, but sadly it's not a real date," I nod and give her a reassuring smile. "Don't forget to slap me after the date ends."

"Why would I do that?" She questions me in a manner, that tells me that she didn't listen properly. "Did you forget the plan?!"

"Off course I did not forget "Jemma's brilliant plan" as Fitz stated it to be." I can hear the annoyance in her voice and can see her rolling her eyes too. "Sorry, I was just making sure, that he'll buy it."

"Oh, he will Hubbly. Don't you worry about it." I frown, "Not that again!"

"What?" Coulson asks and me answering back, "Skye calling me Hubbly."

"You secretly like it Mr. Super spy." Our boss just laughs at annoyance and says, "get used to it Agent Ward!" Skye high fives with him, then he wishes us good luck and off we go.

On our way to the car, she takes my hand and intertwined our fingers together. I raise our hands and kiss the back of her hand. She looks at me in adoring way and I can't stop staring at her, so I take a risk and kiss her. She kisses me back. We turn our comms on and wait for the others to say something. I unlock the car and open the door for her, after she sits down, I shut the door and walk towards the driver's seat.

After I have sat down, had the seatbelt on me and started the car, Fitz said, "are you guys alright?"

"Yes, we're fine Fitz. Where am I driving to?!" I ask and Trip answers back, "the name of the restaurant is The Club. It's mainly for singles, who are looking for other single people or who are in an unhealthy relationship like yours and Skye's."

"What the actual hell, we have to pretend that we do not love each other anymore? That's downright stupid and maybe I do love my Hubbly!?" Skye protests and I smile at her.

"And maybe I do love my crazy wife, so why do we have to pretend to hate each other's guts?" I ask, so they just ignore us and don't say anything to us for approximately 10 minutes. It feels like we don't exist, until Simmons says, "because Ward you're still hung up on your ex."

"Who's my ex now? I don't even have an ex." Skye laughs at me while my ears are turning red. "Me," Jemma answers back my question. "Umm, gross that would be incest," I state, while going on, "nothing against you Jemma, but you're more like a sister to me than anything else."

"Likewise." She replies back immediately. There was some silence and I was enjoying it. "Sorry to interrupt your moment Ward and Jemma," Trip says, forgetting that the moment is already over, "but you have to take the next roundabout and then take the last exit."

About 5 minutes later, we had reached our destination and that's when I heard Coulson ask us, "are you guys ready to fool them?"

"Yes boss," we both say. I stop engine and get out of the car, I ignore Skye as per description of me being "not a great husband" even though I had the urge to open the door for her. I walk a bit further away and Skye follows me. "How slow are you?"

"Excuse me, I'm wearing heels and you cannot just run in them like you're wearing your sneakers. What are we doing here?" She pretends to be annoyed at me. "I heard the foods great there." I reply back to her, while I open the door to the restaurant, bar and club. „Hurry up Daisy, you're so slow."

"Give me a break Marcus. You always whine, moan and groan like a child. It's pissing me off." She shouts at me, some people turn towards us, half of the female population are staring at me, flirting with their eyes as if I was the only man in the room. Skye glared at those women and asks me, "have you reserved a table here, because it's really crowded in here."

"Yes, I have! Do you think that I'm stupid or what?"

"Off course you are. You had a chance to move on," she says, still staying in character, I can see that Ian Quinn is already looking at us and listening to the conversation, "but you're still hung up on your ex and what am I to you? Your trophy wife?" I glare at her and say, "yes, you are. Because who wouldn't ruin their chances to be married to the infamous Skye, the hacker and Activist?!"

Her glare is really deadly. Ian Quinn and some other man are coming towards us. "Skye," he calls out and she says, "yes, that's me!" She stands up, he takes her hand kisses it and says, "I'm a fan of yours!?" I would love to rip this man's head of, but I can't, because I have act as if I don't love her. She gives him a tight lipped smile, while the other man introduces himself as, "Richard Eaton!?" Shit, my half brother is here too. "Are you Marcus Eaton's son. I have heard a lot about your father."

"He's not my father," Richard says without hesitation, "but my mom was married to him, once upon a time!?" Skye says nothing and I can see that she's trying to be calm and not just attack him for being an enemy. "You're really beautiful Skye," both men say, she ignores the sentence and says, "my name is actually Daisy Johnson and that's my husband Marcus," they turn around and stare at me, "we've been married since two years now and today is our anniversary." Now it's my turn to play with them. "What? It's today," I act as if I had forgotten it, "I thought it's next Thursday!" Not a minute later she stands up and slaps me infront of those two bastards. "It's today asshole and I was going to surprise you," she dramatically says, "but now I won't. I'm going home, you can sleep on the couch tonight."

"Sorry sweetheart, I was busy the whole week." I give her the best, "I am sorry" look, that is convincing. "Yeah, right you were busy with your ex," her words did stung, because they were really harsh.

"Skye," Mr. Quinn interrupts us and says, "did you get the invitation for tomorrow. I'm throwing a small gathering or should I rather say a party." He smirks. I walk away and my "wife" answers back, "yes I did. I was going to come with my husband," the smirk on his face falls, "but maybe I'll come alone tomorrow afternoon." Now the smirk is back.

She then says goodbye and leaves the whatever it is, immediately. I was waiting by the car, when she came and high fives me as the comms are still on. "That was fantastic guys." A beaming Jemma says. Agent Coulson and May agreed with her as well as Fitz and Trip, but these two talked about the slap the whole way back home to the bus.

After we talked to our superiors about our successful mission, Skye invited me to her bunk and as soon as the door closed and locked, we were all over eachother. Making out with her is as natural as breathing. She knows that I don't want to sleep with her on the other hand I want to make love to her. We fell asleep on her bunk half naked, until she took my shirt, wore it and buttoned it the whole way up.

The next day I woke up and Skye was literally lying on top of me, her breathing was even, still asleep. I tried to get out of the bed without waking her up, but she snuggled up closer to me and her grip was firm. Her lips were pressed into my chest and she mumbled something unintelligible. I craned my neck a bit and kissed her forehead and because of the contact of my lips on her skin, she woke up. "Hmm, give me a few minutes." She groggily says. "It's already 8 am, sweetheart and I have to go to my bunk," I say and she says, "no, don't go. You're so warm." Her reply made my heart beat rapidly. I stayed there a bit longer than intended and it was the right choice. She immediately fell asleep. I close my eyes. I start dreaming of dark haired children with Skye's personality and her expressive eyes.

The next time I woke up, it was because someone was shaking me awake. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that Skye was hovering on top of me. She smiles at me and says, "wake up sleepyhead. We have a mission to accomplish." Her smile is contagious and I smile back at her and say, "it's showtime baby!" She nods. "Then get up, because we only have four hours to get ready and briefed about the whole mission. "What time is it?!"

"It's half past one and the party is at six o'clock." We detached ourselves, she gave me my shirt back after she changed to her own clothes and I silently went to my room. I changed my clothes and went to the kitchen to eat an apple.

Skye came into the kitchen, when I was about to take my first bite of my apple and she takes it away from me and bites into it. I glare at her and she just shrugs her shoulders with a small smile gracing her face. Now she was trying to take another bite and I take it away from her, earning a slap on my shoulder. I smirk at her.

Not even five minutes later Fitz came and said, "guys Agent Coulson is looking for you. He wants to brief us four," I look at him and he continues, "for the mission." He leaves and we follow him. May and Coulson were standing by the holo table with Jemma standing infront of them. Fitz joins her and we walk a bit further into the room. Trip joins us a minute later with some gadgets in his hands. "What are those gadgets for?!"

"For the mission. My grandfather," he says with a grin, "who was a howling commander gave these babies to me. Be careful with them guys!" He commands and we all, except for Skye, nod. "Yes, sir, yes!" Skye says, while doing a military pose and Trip start howling in laughter. Coulson has a proud smile in his face, May smirks proudly, FitzSimmons high five with her and as usual, I roll my eyes at her.

After they were finished with, what they were doing, Agent Coulson finally told us about the mission. The briefing wasn't that long, he just told us, "get inside, get some intel and get back out!"

"That's it sir?!" I ask, "because that is actually what a specialist does, not any scientists, field agent or someone of communication can do."

"Our team is different Agent Ward and it was a direct order from Director Fury!?" Skye, FitzSimmons and Trip look thrilled. I for now am not so impressed, because Director Fury is sending those four people, I care about a lot into danger. "Dismissed," Agent Coulson says, everyone else except for Coulson, May and I. "Sir this is not right," I protest and get interrupted by, "I know Agent Ward, but I cannot do as I please," he says tiredly, "we must follow the protocol and direct order of our superior."

"Even if our own lives are in danger." Agent May says in a monotone way. "I did agree to save innocent people's life, but come on Skye, FitzSimmons and Trip's lives are more worth than the greater good!" For a moment they look stunned and I was about to walk away, when May says, "do you really think," her voice is filled with rage and utter disgust, maybe, "that I want to send my daughter towards any kind of danger? No, I don't and neither does Phil, but we cannot go against Fury's orders."

"Melinda calm down," my boss says to his wife and completely ignoring my presence, "Skye doesn't know that we're her parents and that we sacrificed our happiness to protect her from Jiaying and Cal." Slowly May was calming down and says, "and she'll never know about this conversation. Agent Ward," she looks at me, while she continues, „you won't tell her anything. We want you to prepare for a mission." She doesn't say anything else, so I ask, "what's the mission about?!" Coulson takes a breath and answers back, "it's about Hydra and we want you to go undercover. Stay with your cousin Four and his friends Katelyn Coulter and Eric Coulter. You only have month time to prepare for it. If you die before it, we will send someone else for the mission." So many questions wäre swirling around my head and I couldn't take it, so I ran out of the room until I crashed into...
