A/N: I have to tell you, it was really difficult to decide what I was going to do with Ward…. I had to make a decision, and I decided to post a second chapter for this one, before the next episode. I hope I'm right.
And btw…. I can't believe all the positive feedback I got with the first chapter, I was the BEST birthday present I got! hahaha. And of course, just like you, #ITRUSTWARD
"Well, kid. I think that Maybe I owe you an explanation" Garret smirked when Grant joined him in the cockpit
"You do" Ward replied "Clairvoyant"
His S.O. laughed, "Sounds pretty cool right? All scary. I got Coulson to believe that shit!" He looked at Grant when he sat "You need to put a name on it, something that people can fear… in this case, something that could distract them long enough to make our play. So bad the all American boy shot our birds out of the sky. But son, we're not out of plays"
The man pointed to one of the screens and Ward immediately understood what he was planning.
"It's not going to be easy"
"If the job was easy…"
This time Grant didn't finish the sentence "Everybody's going to find out"
"Does it matter? Too afraid of your girlfriend finding out?" He tased "Do I have to ask you where do your loyalties lie, kid?"
"No. But I could ask you why didn't you tell me you were the clairvoyant? Or why did you order Quinn to shoot Skye?"
Garret chuckled
"I could have looked into Coulson's case"
"Someone had to take the bullet… and the girl was always a wildcard. I don't like what she's doing to you" John replied and Ward looked at him. "Although, you have to admit that she's a pretty little thing. I'm not blaming you for that"
Grant decided to ignore it. He was about to attack the fridge, after that everyone would know, and any chance with Skye was out of the window. But that didn't mean he was going to stop protecting her. "So, you said… you put that thing on the monitor, with Nash… that Skye…"
"Sorry, but I don't think she'll be willing to cooperate"
Grant swallowed.
"You don't have to… " he growled "Simmons has blood samples, she's making tests… I can get Skye to talk, she was about to tell me what she was hiding… I…"
"We do this for a reason, Grant. I took you in when you had nothing, no one, all for a reason… This is bigger than just a girl" He interrupted him.
"I know"
"And there will be sacrifices. You'll understand it better when we get our guys out of the fridge"
"Quinn is there" Grant muttered
"Don't even think about it. Now put those handcuffs on me. We' have a mission, like the good old days" The man smirked again.
Skye knocked on Coulson's office door, then she walked in.
"You wanted to see me?"
"Yeah"
"Any news? From Ward? Hand?"
"No… and something else happened. We lost communications with the fridge"
Skye frowned and a bad feeling took over. What if Garret had taken Grant? Or killed him? What if they had done exactly what he wanted?
"The fridge… it's a prison, right?" Skye asked.
"Yes…"
"And you're telling me that everybody was good in there? I mean, no hydra agents? Everything is falling apart in the rest of the world, but in this place… nothing."
"Garret…" Coulson looked terrified… if he could take the fridge… free all the prisoners…
"This is bad"
"Skye…"
"What?"
"He couldn't do that alone"
"I know, that's why I'm telling you, there must be sleepers in the fridge, they just didn't come out yet… they were waiting!"
"No, no" Coulson swallowed, his voice sounded a broken " I mean the plane…" He made a pause "You gave him the hard drive"
Then she felt like if someone had punched her in the gut. "No… you don't know what you're saying…"
"Don't you see?... He-"
"He nothing… I trust him, and we don't know what's happening"
"Skye, I know how you feel about him… that's what they do"
"I don't… It has nothing to do with that. He's my S.O. He has saved my life, yours, he has fought with us, and with all do respect sir, I won't let you doubt him… something is happening, yes" Now her voice sounded broken. She fought all the ideas in her mind, all the connections, and all the things that just made sense now "but he's good. I just know it… you trust me; you said I can see the world differently. And I know you're wrong"
"I really hope you're right, Skye"
She nodded. "I'll try to restore comms with the fridge"
"Ok" He tried to smile. Then Skye left the office. She closed the door behind her and started breathing again. That wasn't true, they were all paranoid because of the recent events… of course Coulson had trust issues now, most of the guys he called friends, coworkers, most of them turned out to be hydra and wanted him dead.
It didn't matter if some things made sense, it didn't matter if there was a possibility that Grant was a traitor, she couldn't accept it. He wasn't lying to her. He wasn't lying when they laughed, played games, when he kissed her and asked her for a chance to…. Talk? Suddenly everything he said had a whole different meaning, almost like if he was begging… the way he said that he deserved to die…
"Are you ok?" Asked Simmons went to the lab, searching for her laptop. She just nodded "You look pale"
"We need to find that plane" Skye muttered without looking at her friend.
Please, leave your opinions… I'll see you here (with a new story that you can find in my profile, as usual) after the next episode, I hope we'll still have our hearts intact :( And I hope you liked what I did here with Grant… I still have hope!
