Agents of The Clone Wars (Book 1): The Clairvoyant Conspiracy

Journey to the Hub

The group cleaned up the game room and left to go to the main deck to get the details for this latest mission from Coulson. Coulson's team became more comfortable and relaxed in their new surroundings over the past few weeks. It helped that the fighting between the United Republic and the Seperatist was at a minimum. Dooku's partnership with Project Centipede hadn't yielded him any new super-powered soldiers other than Mike Peterson and that mysterious blue and silver blur that attacked the Rishii Station base last month.

"Fitz it's ok that you lost. You seem to have won a completely different way if you know what I mean." Anakin said with a smirk

"Yeah you're right. The more I hang out with Skye the higher the chance she'll go out with me on a date." Fitz said with a dreamy look on his face

"No." Anakin said his hand on his palm

"I'm talking about Simmons. I have a good feeling about you and her. I think you guys should tell the truth about how much you love one another." Anakin suggested

"Of course I love Simmons. She's my best friend. She was there for me when I learned my father died at Shield Academy." Fitz replied

"There's more between you two than friendship and deep down I know you can tell." Anakin argued

Fitz gave nervous laughter and said, "You are the weirdest Jedi I've ever seen. You blokes aren't known for being in touch with your feelings nor are you known for being skilled with building and repairing machines."

"Let's just say I'm full of surprises. Where is Simmons going anyway?" Anakin noted

"Back to the lab to check on the contraband we raided from that Project Centipede base in Italia Naboo a few days ago." Fitz answered

The two men continued ahead to the main deck walking past Ahsoka and Skye as they continued their conversation.

"You know Fitz and Simmons are so cute together. I liked Simmons defending Fitz final move during the Uno game." Skye told Ahsoka

Anakin whispered told you to Fitz and Ahsoka giggled.

"It feels good to be outside of the Jedi Temple. To be on this aircraft with all of you taking on the Separatist threat." Ahsoka said with a pleasant sigh

"Yeah. You Jedi and the Shield Agents aren't that bad." Skye teased

"During the game a term specific to Shield was used. It was SO. What's an SO?" Ahsoka asked Skye

"Supervising Officer. Every Shield Agent gets one. After Coulson exposed how Rising Tied was created by Ventress and faked having a bunch of hackers; Ward decided to vouch for me. Coulson allowed Ward to be my Supervising Officer." Skye explained

"Wow that's so cool. Its kinda like being a Padawan and being assigned a Knight of the Order to be your Master to train you." Ahsoka replied

"Yeah. That means we should make a bet on who wins the competition between Ward and Anakin. The student of the losing mentor has to get a banana cream pie in the face from the student of the winning mentor. Get ready to lose because the Force won't be with your master." Skye challenged

"My master can adapt to any challenge. Can yours?" Ahsoka challenged

"Can you adapt to the challenge of having a banana cream pie in your face?" Skye retorted

"I'll be ready with a towel for your face Skye." Ahsoka taunted

The two women entered the room and the arrangements were as usual. Ward stood in front of Coulson in the center of the room at attention. May off to Coulson's right against the wall. Anakin stood to the left of Ward. While Fitz and Skye stood behind Ward while Ahsoka was to Anakin's left.
