This is a series of one-shots on the team visiting Ward in custody. It's all leading up to a special visitor (you guys are welcome to guess)! Although, it might be easy to guess...

The first chapter is just an introduction.

Grant should feel disgusted.

(He does, in fact. At himself.)

Grant should feel regret.

(He does. At never truly telling Skye.)

Grant should feel like a sinner.

(He is. No matter how many times he tells himself Skye is his salvation.)

And so, here he sits in this glass cage for everyone to see. They're giving him almost as much attention as Loki. They figure he's going to escape or something.

They're wrong. He has nowhere to go, and has no home. He has never belonged anywhere, and now the only cause he's ever blindly to devoted himself to has crumbled, that along with the trust of anyone (and well, everyone) he's ever met in his life.

Grant is an assassin, a merciless killer, but here when he sits bored out of his mind in a jail cell, there's nothing he wants more than to be able to kill himself.

Nothing? He argues with himself, thinking of a couple notable exceptions.

Oh, right. He wants to see Skye one last final time.

That is what he tells himself as he closes his eyes, feigning sleep.

Thanks for the read!

And Chapter 2: Jemma Simmons. That's all I'm going to say.
