K just to warn people who are just going to start reading my story, I suck at beginning's but it gets better after a few chapters in, so please keep reading even if you find the first few chapters boring. It gets better I promise.

Thanks

Takes place after the events of 1x22 (season finale) and what I think season 2 will look like

Ward feels the thrust from being pushed into a blank cell. This cell was narrower than the one he had at juvey, this one was blanker and was in solitary confinement. He was alone, wearing nothing but prison garbs. Garret was dead, what did that mean he had left to live for?

'I want Skye.' He mindlessly thinks. Skye thought he was a monster, but so would she if the evolution Raina was talking about was true. If Skye was a monster, she couldn't question him.

There was no one left for Grant to follow, he was on his own. No one could push him down now; nothing could possibly slow him down. He was strong, strong enough to beat 12 guys single handily. It wouldn't take him that long to figure out a way to escape the prison. Not when Ward could finally follow himself, and not have anyone to boss him around.

Ward respected Garret, but Garret was dead now. He had to accept that. But by the way Garret was acting after having GH-325 injected in him, he would have thought differently. He'd gone off the deep end, and that made Ward re think following him for so many years. Ward was never loyal to Hyrdra, only Garret. But he was gone. Meaning Ward had no one to follow.

Coulson and the team were all sitting at a table at the Playground base. Simmons was twiddling her thumbs, as Triplett watches her. May wasn't in the room, most likely off doing her 'hate-fu' somewhere—even though for the most part she had gotten all that out during hers and Wards fight. Skye sat at the back corner, her fingers scrolling the keyboard making constant click-clacking sounds from the keys. Coulson just sat at the table starring off at the cube Fury had recently given him.

May comes in the room, everyone turning as they notice her arrival. No one says anything, but they were all wondering where she went; except for Coulson. He had specifically given her the job of making sure Ward made it to his prison cell. He didn't want any chances of his escape, not after what he'd done to the team—after what he'd done to Simmons and Fitz. Coulson bites his lip, thinking about Fitz unconscious in the other room.

Coulson could see the worry etched all over Simmons face, and everyone else on the team. "Guys" Coulson interrupts. Skye shuts her laptop to listen in. "First off I'd like to thank all of you for making it through alive. We've only been here for a day, and I think yesterday's battle might finally be beginning to set in." Coulson stops. "As you know Fury is alive, but I'd like that information to stay strictly confidential between all of us. Of course I'm sure you already knew that."

"We wouldn't dare tell anyone. Were all still Shield agents… well if there was a Shield left." Triplett lays in. Skye nods and Simmons seems to be barely paying attention to the conversation.

"That's actually what I wanted to bring to our attention. Fury gave me this cube, and with it I'm supposed to help rebuild shield."

"Rebuild it?" Skye asks.

"Yes, Coulson's been tasked as the new Director of Shield, considering Fury is dead." May explains. Billy Koenig drops the coffee mug in his hand as he walks into the room.

"Director of Shield, did they really?" Billy looks more excited than a child on Christmas morning. "Sir it was an honor to meet you before, but ah gosh." Koenig begins to freak out a bit, but calms down when he realizes the coffee cup he spilt. "Ah better go clean that up. But wow, Director of Shield at the playground." Agent Koenig leaves the room.

"So what's your plan in re-building shield?" Skye's asks.

Coulson fixes his tie. "Well I don't exactly have one, but May's already begun listing all the contacts who we believe our trustworthy." May nods, with her emotionless face. "But for now, us and our teams are the ones we need to trust. We need to stick together as the core of shield."

A doctor enters the room with Agent Koenig carrying a bunch of paper towels. "Sorry to interrupt again. Director Coulson." Coulson smiles awkwardly not sure how he likes his new title. "But one of the doctors Fury brought in wants to speak with you."

Simmons stands up immediately, so worried her fingers were practically blue. All throughout the day she couldn't think of one other person besides Fitz. He'd sacrificed himself to save her, without him they'd be both dead. Fitz had yet to wake up, but just that he was breathing felt as if it were enough. But after a good night's rest, Simmons was beginning to believe breathing might not be enough. She needed her best friend; she'd be nothing without him.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, I'm Doctor Miner." Coulson stood up and shook hands with her.

"How's Fitz?" Simmons asks. The doctor curls her lip.

"He's alive, but the damage to the brain is unknown till he wakes up. The brain is a tricky thing, he could wake up perfectly fine or…" the doctor doesn't finish.

"How long until he wakes up?" Skye questions.

"Like I said, it's unknown. A few days is my best estimate."

"Well thank you Doctor Miner." Coulson shakes hands with her.

"I'll be leaving this afternoon, Agent Simmons; you have two PhD's, I'm sure if the situation arises you can handle everything." Simmons bite her lip while nodding. "I'll leave it to you then, I'll bring you to the room first so I can explain everything though. Simmons left the room, and Coulson followed after them.

Will write more later, maybe... for now Enjoy! Ah Why does Season 2 look so far away!
