"Are you ready for your operation?" asked the nurse.
Skye nodded, "yeah, I've been waiting for this my whole life."
The nurse laughed, "almost everybody does, now before we do this, I'm just going to remind you what it's gonna do to you, ok?"
"Sure."
"We're gonna put you under and put special lenses in your eyes, that you won't be able to see. These lenses enable you to see whatever your soulmate is doing at the time you're sleeping. Once you find your soulmate, they'll disappear, ok?"
Skye nodded, "I am so ready!"
Today was Skye's 15th birthday. This day and age, on your 15th birthday it was absolutely mandatory to get your soulmate lenses. Although Skye still wasn't sure why.
____________
*10 years later*
Skye yawned and closed her computer, she had been "working" all day and she was exhausted. She laid down and closed her eyes.
"I know that Phil Coulson died right before the battle of New York. I read most of the report, the rest was classified level 7."
"Welcome to level 7," said a man walking out from a dark corner, "sorry, that corner was really dark and I couldn't help myself. I think there's a bulb out."
Skye still wasn't sure exactly who her soulmate was yet, the dreams didn't allow you to see their face or hear their voice, but she did know that he worked for S.H.I.E.L.D, so she decided to lay a trap for him.
____________
She hit the record button for her podcast, "how will you come at us? From the air? From the ground? How will you silence us this time? How can you? The truth is in the wind, it's everywhere. You can not stop the Rising Tide. You will not find us, you will never see our faces, but rest assured, we will rise above those who shield us from the truth. And nothing, NOTHING, can stop us fr-"
Her van door slid open revealing two men in suits and sun glasses.
"Hey, what up?" she said as a bag was thrown over her head.
____________
She got a ride back to the bus on Lola that day, the day she decided to help S.H.I.E.L.D, to find her soulmate. FitzSimmons helped her settle into her bunk and she laid down to go to bed, eagerly awaiting her next dream.
Nothing came.
We're they sleeping? That must mean that they're in the same time zone. She was getting closer to finding him/her and she couldn't wait.
She woke up two weeks later with still no dream. Then it occurred to her, the lenses were gone. She found her soulmate. Somewhere. But who?
____________
"What are you thinking about, Rookie?" asked a curious Agent Ward as he watched his rookie stare into space.
"My soulmate. I've been piecing together all the info that I have on them, trying to figure out who they are. Have you found your soulmate yet?"
"Apparently. Don't know who though."
"Well at least I'm not alone in this, want to help each other?"
He smiled warmly, "sure, tell me about your soulmate."
"They work for S.H.I.E.L.D,"
"I may know them then,"
"They've met Coulson before, after the battle of New York."
"Ok, there's only about 50 agents that know he's alive."
"They've also met Hill. Actually, they met Hill and Coulson on the same day in one of my dreams."
"Coulson and Hill work together a lot, that doesn't really narrow it down much. When did you realize your lenses were gone?"
"The day I met all of you."
"Okay so it's either Mike Peterson, the guard that kidnapped you at the station, or one of the five of us on the bus."
"Okay, but Peterson and the guy who kidnapped me don't work for S.H.I.E.L.D. So it's either Fitz, Simmons, May, you, or Coulson."
"Well you know it's not Coulson, because you saw his face."
"Ok, so it's FitzSimmons, you, or May."
"Ask around, see what you find."
"I'll go talk to FitzSimmons now!"
Ward laughed at her as she ran away as fast as she could. Now he had to try and figure out who his soulmate was, because he was still stumped.
____________
"I've definitely ruled out May. Did you know that she's soulmates with Coulson?"
Ward's eyes widened, "I didn't know that..."
"My soulmate could be Fitz, he's adorable."
"You don't choose a soulmate because they're adorable."
"I know, but I wouldn't mind at all if he was my soulmate, he's awesome, and he knows how to give compliments 'Mr. Robot' "
"I give you compliments sometimes."
"Give me one right now, I dare you,"
He sighed, "I never would've pegged an ex-Rising Tide hacker as a good fit, but you seem to be doing pretty nicely here."
"Hmm, not bad. Did it physically hurt to do that? Do you need an ice pack?"
He smiled.
"Wow! A compliment and a smile! I hate to ruin the moment, but I'm gonna have to respond with... G4."
His smile fell.
"Say it Ward, say it."
"You sank my battleship."
____________
"You know," Skye said during training, "Simmons could be my soulmate, I was a wreck today when I thought she was going to die."
"We were all upset, that doesn't mean she's everyone's soulmate."
She gave him a look, "I know that, but we're also really close, so it's not like it would be hard to fall in love with her."
He rolled his eyes at his rookie, "let's just get back to training."
____________
Skye ran up to hug Ward and Fitz when they got back from their mission.
"I'm glad you didn't die Fitz, you're a great friend and Jemma was a wreck without you."
"Thanks for pulling us out of there."
She smiled at him and rushed to go see Ward.
"Hey, thanks for getting us out of there."
"No problem, couldn't risk the thought of having to get a new SO."
He laughed.
"Besides, soulmates are hard to replace."
He looked at her with a questioning gaze.
"My soulmate works for S.H.I.E.L.D, had a meeting with Coulson and Hill on the same day when asked to join this team, is on the bus, and does lots of missions that other agents don't particularly like. Sound familiar?"
It clicked, "I just realized something," he said, "all the numbers that I saw when I slept, those were computer codes weren't they?"
She nodded and brought her lips up to meet his. The kiss was slow and sweet, it was perfect. She rated her forehead against his, "I'm glad you didn't die today."
He kissed her again, "me too."
