Rebel Agent *Agents of SHIELD *

Chapter 6

"O-8-4"

THE BUS was flying through the clear sky

H.Q came in through a radio "S.H.I.E.L.D. 6-1-6, you have course confirmation. You are cleared direct to the Slingshot. Agent Coulson, everything all right up there? We heard you had a little dustup on the ground"

"Yeah, we're all good" Coulson answered "It's gonna be blue skies from here on out"

Not a moment later, there's a explosion and a hole blasted on the side of the bus

Inside the bus, there's a computer screen that reads: HULL BREACH

EXPLOSIVE DECOMPRESSION

Alarms were blaring through all the bus

Coulson was hanging onto a wall in the living room of the bus, hanging on for dear life so he wouldn't get swept away by the wind toward the hole in the bus

"Coulson! Hang on!" Simmons was calling from an unseen location of the plane

19 hours earlier

The bus was parked at an airfield.

Hayley walked out of her bunker holding a book in her hands as she walked past the living room towards the conference room.

Skye was on the garage getting her things aboard after joining the team as a consultant.

As soon as Hayley entered the living room she saw Coulson, May and Ward talking. Her eyebrows furrowed at the conversation they were having about Skye 

"Why not?" Hayley asked Ward, knowing he was the only one who didn't agree completely on Skye being there with them

"Skye's a member from the Rising Tide," Ward drawled looking at her and glancing at the others "She hacked our SRA implementation"

"Twice and from a laptop" Hayley agreed nodding "Imagine what she could do with S.H.I.E.L.D's resources. That's pretty cool" she smiled ignoring Ward's scowl.

"It's not cool" Ward scolded her. Hayley shrugged in disagreement, "I can imagine what she would do. That's exactly what I'm imagining with this frown"

"As opposed to which frown?" Coulson asked

May smirked barely

Hayley smiled slightly in amusement

Ward ignored that, looking at Coulson "You brought me on for a risk assessment. She's a risk. She doesn't think like us"

"Exactly" Coulson told them.

Hayley smiled "Neither do I think like you. Am I a risk?" She asked Ward tilting her head barely, smirking straightening up closing her book

Ward didn't answer.

In the preparation room, Coulson, May, Ward and Hayley were still talking.

May looked at Coulson "We have two kids on this bus who aren't cleared for combat. You're adding a third"

Hayley tapped her cheek with her fingers, listening. She seemed to not have a problem with Skye joining them. She always had Coulson's back and if he said he was okay with Skye joining their team, then she was okay with it as well

"At least Fitz-Simmons are trained S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists" Ward said before pointing at Hayley "You have undercover and profiling skills" Hayley raised her eyebrows "But Skye? You said this was a select team. Assembled to work new cases, to protect people. I don't see how letting some hacker tag along-"
