All of Me - Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D

Chapter Nine

 

Open Bar area - 04:48am

Skye stopped in her tracks with her laptop in hand when she saw Natasha sitting at the bar with a glass of clear liquid in front of her and dressed in workout clothes as the older chinese woman hit play on the ipod dock and tranquil music began to fill the room.

Skye wasn’t sure if she was seeing things because of her lack of sleep. She had spent most of last night and early this morning tossing and turning. She had half expected him to knock on her door, but he didn’t - did he regret it? Around three this morning, Skye gave up on sleep and headed for the cockpit. She knocked first to make sure no one was in there before she entered and spent the next couple of hours just looking out into the night sky and watched it turn from night to dawn and did some research on the Black Widow on her laptop.

“Morning Skye,” Natasha greeted as she locked eyes with the younger woman before bringing her glass to her lips.

“Um, hi, Agent Rom -” Skye began to mumble nervously.

“Natasha,” she cut in. “Call me Natasha,” she answered, taking another sip from her glass.

Skye was still a little starstruck about being this close to the famous ‘Black Widow’. The woman was a known legend throughout S.H.I.E.L.D and become a hero for the world during the ‘battle of New York’ when she had helped save the world from the attack from those alien things that come from the warm hole in the sky.

“Skye … are you okay?” Melinda’s voiced.

Skye was pulled from her swirling thoughts at the older agents voice. She turned her eyes towards the chinese woman and nodded her head. “Sorry,” she apologized. “Zoned out for a moment. Um is Ag- Natasha joining us?”

“I would have rather slept in,” Nastasha revealed, placing the glass back down on the bar surface. “But старшая сестра here, wouldn’t let me. She literally dragged me out of the bed.”

Skye’s jaw dropped as she turned her eyes onto the woman who was becoming her role model.

“Nat,” Melinda’s voice scowled. “Put down the vodka and get your butt over here ... now!”

Natasha gave a mock salute, then shot down the rest of her glass before sliding off the barstool and making her way towards her surrogate big sister.

Melinda rolled her eyes at her best friends response. She turned her eyes back towards the hacktivist who looked amused with the entire scene. “Shall we begin?”

Skye quickly placed her laptop on the bar before she stood in place on the other side of Melinda. A moment later the three women began their Tai-Chi.

The next several minutes were met with silence as the three woman moved in sync. Skye was secretly fangirling on the inside. ‘I’m doing Tai-Chi with the Black Widow and Cavalry’ she couldn’t help but think.   

Cargo Bay - 06:03 am

Skye was running a couple of minutes late to her training session with Grant because she had caught up with Jemma in the kitchen and the two had started chatting away and lost track of time until Leo had come in.

“Sorry,” Skye apologize as she jogged down the last few steps and hurried towards their training area. “I was chatting with Jemma and we lost track of time,” she babbled as she noticed Grant standing on the mats that were laid out.

Grant snapped his head in her direction the moment he heard her voice. God, she was beautiful. He wasn’t going to mention the kiss. It obviously didn’t mean the same thing to her since she had bolted from the room afterwards. He was her S.O and that was that. “I wanna see what you’ve learned,” he told her in a serious tone.
