Yeah, I hate using someone as a stand-in as well. I mean, it's realistic and it certainly happens in the real world, and probably even more often among specialists whose options are limited. However, I just didn't want to go that route here. I'm glad this world feels real to you! It's been interesting to play so much with both the show canon and the comic canon in order to build a new world, different from both comics, the show and UMS. Skye's situation is complicated because she does care about Patrick, but she met Ward first. After their night together and now working so closely together and learning each other on a different level, it's just changing things. Things are definitely awkward with Ward and Patrick lol - Patrick isn't stupid. He senses something between Skye and Ward, but he doesn't have all the facts (yet.) I was happy to be able to include Fitz and Simmons here, especially in a lighter context since the show is much darker for these characters now. Thanks for commenting! :)
