So this is just a one shot wonder that has been playing on my mind here the past couple of hours to the point that I need to get it out of my brain before it drives me up the wall. I am still working on the next chapter for What Choice Do We Have? This may become more, depends on the muses that inspire me, but for right now I am still planning on making this a one shot. Let me know what you think about this.
Grant Ward was stunned just like everyone else when watching her. She was throwing men with a wave of her hand. She didn't even seem to break a sweat. He watched in amazement and with a smile as she threw a full sized SUV.
"Who is she?" a lady in the crowd looked on with astonishment.
"I don't know" a man replied.
"Whoever she is, she is beautiful," Grant said to no one in particular.
He like, everyone else, had been recording the whole event on his cell. His reasons were different than everyone else. He really didn't know his own reasons why. Part of him wanted to watch her and remember the times that they were together. The happier moments from the time they spent on the bus. The times that he was her SO and training her to become an agent. At times, he would close his eyes and would go back to those moments and fantasize about what could have been if things were different and if different choices had been made. He smiled at the realization that he was sort of in the reverse rolls from the first time that he had met Skye. Now, he was the one filming the superhero and wanting to learn her secrets.
"My name is Daisy. I'm with S.H.I.E.L.D," Daisy said.
"Huh, Daisy now," Grant smiled.
He would always see her as Skye. The girl in the van who was hacking his former agency. The girl that unnerved him the first time in the interrogation room that made him want to rip his hair out. The girl that had made him want something for himself for the first time in a long time. He remembered the day she had been shot and how he had been frozen to the floor watching as Coulson held her in his arms begging Simmons to do something.
He remembered the feelings of hopelessness when the surgeon had told them that Skye was on life support and was not going to make it. The surgeon telling them to call her family in to say goodbye. All the things that he wanted to tell her, to admit that he had feelings for her. The hurt that he felt when he found out that she was with another man and it wasn't even the fact that she was Rising Tide, but that she was with another man that had hurt him so much.
The feelings of helplessness when he barely could look at her in the med pod hooked up to all the machines. Watching them breathe for her. Watching them filter her blood. Then watching Simmons giving her CPR. The thoughts of having to bury her crossed his mind and what he would do to Garrett when they didn't have any witnesses. Then watching how her body reacted to the GH 325. He thought that he was going to lose her forever. He thought that his time away would be visiting her grave and talking to a ghost.
"Did you see that? They put that man in that white box thing and it just shot up into the sky!" the woman was tugging on Grant's arm.
"I did" Grant lied.
He somehow had managed to still record the scene while getting lost in his own thoughts. He didn't know how but he always got caught up in his thoughts when they involved her. He watched her as she scanned the crowd. For a moment, he thought that she had spotted him but he was disguised and thought that he had blended in well.
Grant made his exit and left for his car. He was like a giddy school girl immediately replaying the video on his phone.
"Shit."
Grant was wrong. Daisy had spotted him. He watched as his camera shook briefly and then saw that her hands tightened into fists and the camera stopped shaking. It appeared that she was trying to control herself.
"Well, well, well, so the mighty Daisy with S.H.I.E.L.D has a kryptonite. Who would have thought that I would be the one that could make you lose control?" Grant sat back and let all of this sink in.
Alright so I do have more that may come of this but right now I don't know. Let me know what you think. I would love to hear all of your thoughts on this. I know that this is really short but like I said that it is supposed to be a one shot deal. I may have more because I have some dialogue and a meeting that I think should happen.
