"Pilot"

Trained by all kinds of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, she became an ace pilot and a weapons expert, a soldier who can perform above and beyond the call of duty. However, she endured some kind of trauma in action, which left her a little damaged. She decided to withdraw from field duty and resigned herself to a quiet desk job. After the battle of New York, Agent Phil Coulson came to the office where she worked and asked her to join his team. Still haunted by her past experiences in the field, she was reluctant to say yes, but she agreed when Coulson told her that he just needs her to "drive the Bus", later she's sent alongside fellow Agents Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons at the site of the fire where the hooded hero; Mike Peterson was spotted and they investigate what may have caused the fire in an attempt to solve the mystery of the hooded hero. She's then sent to watch over Skye when she's attacked by Peterson. Coulson's team goes after Peterson, then a fight breaks out as Peterson tries to escape both Coulson's team and the assassin that the doctor had instructed to kill him, and results in Ward being forced to shoot Mike in the head. Fortunately, due to his superhuman abilities, Mike Peterson survives and recovers from his wounds.
