1: Hunter is having difficulty concentrating on the upcoming mission...

Lance ran his eyes appreciatively over Skye as she stepped into the hall. They were going on an undercover op at a diamond auction, (apparently someone was trying to sell a Diviner, or the alien crystals or whatever that had transformed Skye and Raina months ago- Lance hadn't really listened to details) and while Lance himself hated dressing up in a tux, he was enjoying the sight of his girlfriend in the red and gold satin Chinese print dress. He grinned at her, loving the way she blushed.

"Looking good. how about we skip the op and just book into a hotel for the night instead?"

She smacked him with her beaded purse. He winked at her, making her roll her eyes.

"Focus, Hunter. If this thing really is a diviner-"

"I know, I know, SHIELD has to save the world again. Doesn't mean we can't have fun while we're at it. And for the record, I hate dressing up like this. You owe me one."

Skye smirked. "I don't know... this look kind of suits you."

"Ha ha, great pun. Seriously, how long do you think this will take? We haven't left yet and already I wish we were back home and relaxing."

"Stop whining." Skye stood on tiptoe and pressed a kiss to his mouth. "Is that incentive for you to behave while on mission?"

He smiled. "Depends what I get if I drag you back to our room and tell Coulson you're too sick to go now." He laughed to himself- Skye actually looked tempted. He stepped closer, bending to whisper in her ear huskily. "We could watch a movie... have some private time..."

A sudden vibration, emenating from Skye's hand, knocked him back several feet.

"Oh, come on, that's cheating!"

Skye laughed outright as she walked past him, catching his upper arm as she went and dragging him with her. "Mission first, Hunter. We'll re-visit the other suggestions later."

"Stupid enhanced strength." Hunter grumbled as he had no choice but to follow. But he was laughing inside as he knew she was. They spent half their time bickering, but it wasn't like it had been with Bobbi- Skye was a friend as well as a lover, and they could be tender. They needed each other. He watched her hips sway as she walked ahead of him to the car.

"Eyes on the car, Hunter!" Skye's chiding of him was lost as she laughed.

He chuckled. I'm the luckiest guy ever.
