Chapter 13: I Didn't Do It

♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠

    "Every decision from here on out has consequences. So be warned..." Ward trails looking at me. "The kiddie gloves are off."

I level him with an equally stern glare. And then snort with laughter.

"G7."

Ward closes his eyes and frowns.

I smirk at him and grab a pretzel from the bowl on the table.

"Hit." He mumbles.

"Remind me again what Battle Ship has to do with training?" I ask.

"It's important for every S.O to evaluate their student's thought process." He replies.

I nod in mock seriousness and snag another pretzel.

I meet his eyes and smirk.

"And I like board games." He rushes. "B10."

"Nope." I say. "And this isn't thinking, this is just guessing... But it's a nice break."

Ward messes with his board.

     "Well you deserve it. I wouldn't of pegged a Rising Tide hacker as a good fit, but it works. You're picking things up pretty fast."

I clap with fake enthusiasm.

"Wow did you just freaking compliment me?"

"No." Ward mutters. "It was just a comment."

I stare at him open mouthed.

     "Did that like physically hurt you?" He rolls his eyes. " Ooh, a little bit of sass." I lean forward. "Are you hurt?" I lean closer to him. " Do you need an ice pack?"

Ward gives a light chuckle.

"Wow!" I exclaim. "A compliment and a smile!"

"Comment."

I glance down at my board.

" So, I don't mean to ruin the moment... But I'm going to have to respond with... G4."

I look at him not daring to smile.

Ward stares at his board with a pissed expression.

Oh my God, I won!!

"Say it Ward." I grin at him.

He continues to give his board his death glare.

"Say it!"

"You sank my battle ship." He mutters.

Fitz starts to walk through the room while checking his phone.

"Louder!" I squeal.

"You sank my battleship."

Fitz looks up.

"She did what?" He glances at Ward. "Wow. I've lost to him a lot."

I stand up and cross my arms.

"What can I say?" I ask rhetorically. "I got skills."

We got called in for another mission.

     Coulson explained that this guy in Japan had control over fire. And someone knew about it, besides his Shield handler who checked up on him.

Phil got a live feed with Agent Kwan , the handler.

I stare at the screen as the guy started to talk.
