Ward's Warrior

Chapter 1

Working on the bus was interesting, and it might be Wash's definition of it as well. I was on this plane with Agents Coulson, May, Fitz, and Simmons. We also had a consultant named Skye. Lastly my S.O. Agent Grant Ward was on the plane as well. Fantastic. I mean he is the one who helped me get into SHEILD in the first place, but after being stuck on a plane with him for a few months can be aggravating in a couple ways. The first way is that you get sick of all the little things that you'd used to think were cool, but now are annoying as hell. The second one is where you've developed a crush on them and they are too stupid to see it and it drives you up the fricking wall! I mean I've known Grant for close to five or six years now, and I've never felt that way before a couple months ago. Well I didn't realize it until then. Do you know how hard it is to be around your crush every second of nearly everyday in a confined area in the sky? I didn't think so. Anyways I should get over it cause it looks like he likes Skye. I like her and we're friends, but I just don't want to tell her about my crush on Grant. I've told Jemma since we're best friends, and I know that its kinda weird that we are since she's science and I'm operations, but we just had a connection and she's pretty bad ass too.

"Rachel, just tell him!" Jemma practically yelled.

"No! I know that he doesn't like me back!" I replied.

"Rachel Bolton! He needs to know!"

"Who needs to know what?" Skye asked as she entered Simmons' bunk.

"Jemma-" I began to say but she put her hand over my mouth.

"She likes Ward." She said as I licked her hand. "Rachel that's absolutely disgusting!" Skye looked confused.

"I licked her hand." I said as the confusion turned into joy.

"This is perfect!" Skye squealed.

"What is going on in here?" Coulson asked from outside the door.

"Rachel likes-" The two of them began to say until I covered their mouths.

"Actually you know what I don't want to know because you have already been told Bolton that Steve is mine!" Coulson yelled as he ran away from the door.

"What the hell was that?" Skye asked.

"Let's just say I may have kissed Captain America..."

"How many times? Was he a good kisser? Did you grab his ass?" Skye began to ask rapid fire questions.

"Okay, we were undercover and posed as a couple at a gala. We may have had to do a couple things in order to keep people off our scent. It's kinda hard to do that when you have the Captain America as your partner-"

"You popped Captain America's cherry?!" The two asked in shock as Coulson banged on the door.

"You did WHAT!" He screamed.

"Hey Coulson just ask Stevie if he likes to dance when you see him. Wait. Isn't he coming on the bus today?"

"You are not allowed near him!" Coulson yelled once again as the three of you doubled over in laughter.

"Now how about you make yourself look nice for when Cap comes so Coulson will flip." Jemma suggested as I ran out of her bunk and towards mine, but I ran into a wall, and it was firm and warm. Looking up I saw Ward.

"Sorry Grant. I just need to get to my bunk so I can get changed."

"What's going on Rachel." He said.

"Talk to Simmons about dancing with Captain America." I said as I slipped around him to my bunk, and as I was changing I heard a shocked Ward yell.

"Rachel did what!" He sounded a little upset, who am I kidding he sounded pissed like I broke a rule or something. I went back to changing and as I was putting a different bra on the door to my bunk flew open as a pissed Ward entered and closed the door behind him. Not noticing my state of undress as I was standing in my panties and holding my bra to my chest to cover me.

"Um...Grant, can you please leave so I can get dressed?" You asked as he was now looking at my body as his face had a tint of red creeping up on his face.

"Is the famous Grant Douglas Ward blushing?" I asked as his face turned a shade darker then it all disappeared as he focused on his task at hand.

"Rachel Kaylee Bolton, you know you broke rule number 37?" He asked as I looked at him confused. I didn't know of a rule 37. 

"Never, ever do anything to Captain America and tell Coulson. Especially do it with him!"

"You know there's an actual term for that called sex or even making love. Like you'd know what that means." I muttered the last part to yourself.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing Grant. Nothing at all. Can you please leave or help me put this damn thing on. If not get one of the girls in here." He gave me a look knowing that I was hiding something, but just left anyways. Not even a minute later there was a knock on my door. Now it was May.

"Hi May. What can I help you with?" I asked her. Ever since you joined SHIELD she kept an eye out for me and was like a mother to me.

"Ward said that you needed help. I guess he found out about the whole Captain America thing?"

"Yup. They all believe it too. Steve said that in return that I have to help him with something in return."

"What is that?"

"I have no idea."

"Let's get you dressed up Rachel so you can make Ward jealous." She said with a smile on her face.
