Agent Fitz finally revealed his true feelings for lab partner Simmons in the "Agents of SHIELD" season one finale, but those feelings stand in stark contrast to how he felt about Simmons when they first met at the SHIELD academy.
"We weren't friends. We were enemies. Bitter rivals," Simmons (revealed) to Skye in a deleted scene from the first season. "We were so competitive, constantly trying to one-up each other. He hated me. Hated me."
The science-geek agents soon realized they worked better in tandem and so began the FitzSimmons duo. In hindsight, Fitz may have been covering up how he really felt by pretending to hate Simmons.
In another deleted scene, pre-HYDRA Ward and Skye have a nice moment together.Wworking for SHIELD, Skye may not live off the grid anymore, but her new home doesn't feel much different than her old one.
"Hackers tend to live off the grid," Skye explains to her training officer, who asks if she's glad to have left that life behind. "Yeah, though living on a plane is about as off the grid as you can get."
Touché, Skye.
Simmons may want to stick to the lab and leave any physical violence to the trained Agent May. "The Cavalry" will always clean up her fellow agents messes, just as soon as she finishes her t'ai chi.
