Out of the Framework, into the reality (Skyeward fanfiction)

Chapter 20: The climb

Agent Rebecca Beckett was always one of the top agents, from MI6, to SHIELD and now Resistance and HYDRA, or at least that was what she thought. Everyone would describe her as a badass, move out of the way when she walked down the hallways. Through years it made her a little cocky, yet very self-confident. Until now. She was always impulsive, but she was also observant, which made her a great interrogator. She knew what made people tick. She could see their tells, their weaknesses, yet this time she was startelled. She met someone who was her match, or even better. 

Agent Skye Johnson, just got her down on the mat. She was beat. The quake not only kicked her ass without her powers, but quaked her so she could barely walk. However, she could see the girl deeply cared about Ward, as he did for her. She didn't know how the two who seemed to be so different, got so drawn to one another, yet it made each one stronger. They had more motivation to fight, having more to lose. She knew Ward was undercover Resistance member, who was tasked to get Skye on their side, but the girl was already very suspiscious of them. Beckett wasn't sure he would be able to convert Skye, but she hoped that what she saw Skye felt for Ward would make it easier to get her on their side.

She walked out of the gym, fully beat, and towards the elevator that would get her to level 3, where she knew Ward should be. She needed to warn him of Skye and her suspiscions.

"Ward, we need to talk" she told him quietly as she got to his new cubicle as deputy head of specialists force.

"What happened to you?" he asked her when they got to a safer place to talk.

"Your girlfriend. She has a mean punch"

"I know, believe me. What did you do to get on her bad side?"

"I talked to you. She is suspiscious Ward. She might blow our whole cover, heck the whole operation"

"I know. She told me she doesn't trust you and warned me to be wary around you"

"Huh, smart girl you got yourself" Beckett commented. "Anyways, you have to start with your mission, or we will be dead"

"Don't worry about Skye. I'll handle her. Just maybe stay away from us until she calms down" he suggested. Beckett just nodded swiftly and left.

"You can't use a shorting in Scrabble" Skye said. "Mac as in macarroni, really Jakub?"

"I am sorry you Americans are so oblivous to who made up your language. The rest of the world, take my home country of Norway for example, we learn Brittish english where mac stands for a raincoat, specifically a waterproof Mackintosh"

"That is cheating, sir" Ava mentioned.

"No it isn't. You just need to extend your vocabulary. It seems the rest of us whose first langauge isn't English know more English than you who were basically born using it" Sorenson said simply.

"Fine, then I'll put this one" Skye said and put her word on the board.

"Druthers, huh? I would never have thought of that" Ward commented when he saw what his girlfriend wrote down.

"Okay, I see what you did there, eye for an eye, right Quake?"

"You are dead right, Captain" she told him with a victorious grin.

"Fine. I quit. Next" Sorenson said.

"Might I ask why we are playing these silly games?" Ava asked.

"I wanted to have a nice night with my favourite couple, and you were their plus one" Sorenson explained. "Ward suggested this" Ava looked at Ward surprised.
