"What the hell are you talking about?" You ask turning on your heel to face Ward, hair falling into your eyes as you do so.

"You're right..." May says walking over to you, and moving your hair out of the way. "She does look almost exactly like John." Your heart literally skips like two beats. Your dad couldn't have been a SHIELD agent- he told you that he was in the navy.

"My dad was in the navy..."

You ask Coulson if it's true- your dad worked for SHIELD.

"It's true. He was part of the cavalry with May." Coulson explains. "One day John randomly walked into Director Fury's office and said that he was giving his two week notice... that was the last time anyone saw him. I'm surprised that he managed to stay off SHIELD radars for so long."

You ask if you could see your dad's SHIELD file. About four hours later Coulson hands you a tablet- most of the stuff in your dad's file is blacked out because you don't have clearance to see it.

Now the dates in the file, line up with the time John Winchester was supposedly in the navy. With shaking hands, you pull out your phone and dial Dean's number. He picks up after two rings. Your brother sounds relieved to hear from you.

"You doing okay sweetheart?" Sam asks- Dean apparently has his phone on speaker.

"Dad lied to us... again." You answer.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, Dad was never in the navy." You take a calming breath. "I found his service record."

"What?" Dean asks.

"Dad's service record says he was a spy." On the other line, there is the sound of breaking glass and a string of profanities. "What was that?"

"I just dropped my beer on the ground. Nothing to worry about." Dean replies.

"You know, you're late." Ward tells Skye when she walks in.

"I'm tired from this morning's workout. I thought I was joining SHIELD, not 24-hour fitness." Skye answers. Ward steadies the punching bag.

"It's called relative strength training, starting with the basics." Ward messes with the tape on Skye's hands "And next time you do 15 pushups for every minute you're late."

"Fine, Mr. Fun Machine. Better than pull-ups. I don't ever want to do another pull-up again." You chuckle to yourself.

"You find yourself hanging off the edge of a building 20 stories up, you're gonna want to do at least one." Ward shows Skye where to stand. Ward tells Skye she needs to work with the punching bag for ten minutes. Skye hits the bag, but nowhere near the force Ward was using. Skye and Ward bicker for a few minutes.

"There will come a moment when you have to commit to this or bail. Every field agent has a defining moment. Ask Coulson. When you have to make the hard call to either dedicate yourself to this or to curl up in a ball and run." Ward advises.

"Okay, how come Y/N gets it easy?" Skye questions.

"Whoa, who said anything about my training being easy?" You counter. "My training is anything but easy... May is brutal."

"That's because you're technically already trained." Ward points out. You shake your head and sit on the staircase.

"It's still hard to believe dad lied about being in the navy."

A few hours later May drops a heavy binder in Skye's arms and tells her to read- you, on the other hand, need to get to work, training. Having Agent Melinda May as your superior officer is no walk in the park.

Now, you think the reason why May agreed to train you, is because she has worked with a Winchester before. You watch Ward and Skye train after your training (for the moment) is done with. Skye is joking around again.

"How did you learn computer science without committing yourself to it?" Ward asks.

"C.S. comes naturally to me. I'm sorry I'm not a naturally... whatever you are." Skye retorts.

"You think this came naturally? I had a brother who beat the crap out of me... me and my little brother, for nothing. For eating a piece of his birthday cake. I had to learn to protect us, the way I am trying to protect you... and the way Agent May is trying to protect Y/N."

"Don't bring me into this." You comment.

"Sipper to Bravo, I got eyes on top dog. The eagle is landing on it." Skye says confusing the hell out of almost everyone.

"That is not even close to what I recommended you to say." You state. "So what the hell are you doing Skye?"

"Uh, sorry... I - I don't know. I see Quinn, I'm gonna go talk to him." You facepalm.

"You remind me of my brothers sometimes. And that's not a compliment." You grab a handful of Fitz's popcorn and eat it.

You leave the room for a few minutes you come back to find out Skye sweet-talked her way into Quinn's office. "How'd she do that?" You ask.

"She probably just used her, um..." Fitz replies as he raises both of his hands up to his chest indicating breasts. Everyone throws Fitz a look, the poor guy starts to stutter. "Uh...uh...her, uh...ah, boobs." You roll your eyes as Skye's line goes dead- SHIELD has just lost all contact and vitals for your friend.

About 24 hours later you're hanging out with Skye in the cargo bay. Skye's taking out her anger on the punching bag. Ward walks in, and Skye asks him where he and his brothers lived.

"Massachusetts, mostly." Ward answers. Skye asks if he lived in a house- which he did. You swear that there is an audible sound of your heart breaking- longing for a home you never really had, until the bunker- even then you're not there very often. You find out that Skye was in the foster system.

"For me, it was motel room after motel room. Always moving, never had a place to call home." You say softly. "We found a place recently... but it's not really home considering my brothers and I are constantly gone- staying in more hotel rooms." You shove your hands in your pockets.
