In Disguise

Chapter #6

Me Simmons and Skye were stood in the lab looking at the object

"Not to worry. The device is stable. Not that it couldn't explode at any minute, especially if hit with machine-gun fire. But things like this happen from time to time when in the field, and at first, it's very unpleasant, and you regret your decision to leave the lab at all-" Simmons said but was cut off my Fitz and Ward walking into the lab arguing.

"Are you mental? I did explain in great detail exactly what I meant, using the Queen's bloody English!" Fitz snapped

"I use normal English. Words like "duck" and "run" and "might blow us to pieces."" Ward snapped back

"Oh wow. Wow, congratulations, Agent Ward! You managed to string three words together in a sentence." Fitz shouts

Coulson then walks down the stairs And into the lab

"...we are dealing with! I'm trying to tell you-" Fitz keeps shouting

"I don't understand anything you are saying-" Ward said but was cut off

"Do we have a problem in here?" Coulson asked crossing his arms

"No, sir. Just working on our communication. Not everyone was prepared for a firefight." Ward replied and Simmons rolled her eyes

"We got out, didn't lose anyone, saved a few of theirs... I'd say we did all right. Anything else?" Coulson tells him

Skye slowly raises her hand

"Uh, yeah, I have a small question. Because We've  been feeling like the tagalong hayseed rookies, but now I get the sense that Ward doesn't know which one's Simmons and which one's Fitz, and they've seen even less gunfire than me, and I'm no rocket scientist, but is this your first mission together?" Skye said very confused

"No. Of course not. It's our second." Simmons said perking up

"We were your first? That's sweet." Skye said and I silently chuckled

"You're amused?" Ward askes us but staring at Skye

"I'm terrified. I am in way over my head, but we have been on this team just as long as any of you. I might as well be team captain" Skye said and I looked down embarrassed

"I was joking but maybe that's not a bad idea, because these guys do not like each other much." Skye said after a moment of silence

"This isn't about that. I'm a specialist. Today, I could have eliminated the enemy threat myself if I was working alone, but I had non-combat ready agents-" Ward was cut off

"Whoa, whoa. Wait. You work alone?" Fitz said crossing his arms

"So typical. Who do you think designed your equipment?" Simmons snapped

"Or the polymers for your weaponry." Fitz carried on

"Yeah. Try going into the field with just your bare bum!" Simmons pointed at Ward

"People like us do it." Fitz finished

"See them proving the point skye just made?" I told Coulson

"You're not wrong. We still need to iron out the kinks. But, Ward, you can speak six languages. Simmons, you have two PhDs in fields I can't pronounce, and, Fitz, you are a rocket scientist. So work it out." Coulson then leaves the lab

"I-I'm... I'm good at stuff, too!" Skye said

"We know Skye but he's talking to the actual agents" I smiled

Skye was talking to Ward but I was in my bunk sleeping. I woke up to silence.

I slowly unlocked my door to see nobody I quietly walked out of the room walking into the main area.
