A.N.: So this is the third and final part for this little fic.

What will be Ward's decision? Read to find out ;]

Oh and I put their thoughts in italics.

Disclaimer: For the last time in this fic, I don't own any of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. characters, however I do own guard – James, he'll appear in this part again.

'I'm sorry what?' She couldn't be serious, right?

'We want you to rejoin Hydra in undercover mission' Skye's expression was blank. 'We need a sleeper in there.'

Grant had no idea what to think about this offer... at one point he wanted to take it right away. It was his chance for redemption – a chance that he could only dream of.

Maybe if that mission was over he could get back to his old team... or maybe they put him back in a prison, because that's what he's best at – being a mole and just betraying everyone around him.

Grant was pacing around his little cell thinking about choice that he had to make. Decision that could change everything...

In the meantime Skye sat down on Ward's bed and was watching him walking back and forth. Her face was expressionless but on the inside she was nervous. Come on Ward, you know what to do! If you really changed you know correct answer to this question!

She wanted to rush him, help him figure out the right answer, but she couldn't... Coulson told her specifically what to do and now as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent she couldn't disobey orders from Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. himself.

Ward finally stopped and turned around, so he was facing Skye. 'I've made my decision' he said, his voice shaking slightly.

'And?' Skye asked.

'And I'm not taking it, your offer' he said, his voice firm, but his eyes... Skye saw in them fear.

Grant Ward really was a different man.

'Ward it's a perfect opportunity for you. You know Hydra, you worked for them-' she started, but Ward interrupted her.

'I wasn't working for Hydra' he said quietly.

'Come again?' It was Skye's turn to be dumbfounded.

'Technically I was never working for Hydra. I was never part of them. Skye, Garrett was Hydra, he was associated with them, but I was only following his orders. Yeah, Garrett made me into joining them but I wasn't really Hydra soldier. They all knew that I was Garrett's right hand and they didn't know if I would stay with them after everything... I only wanted to help John... he saved my life once...'

'So, what? You'll turn down our offer just like that?' Skye was curious, she wanted to know more. She was almost 100% sure that he wasn't telling her everything.

'Just like that.'

'But, why? Don't you wanna get back to S.H.I.E.L.D.? Be freed from this prison?'

'Don't get me wrong Skye, I'd love to get back to S.H.I.E.L.D., make up for all those bad things that I did to you. You have no idea how much I want to get back to Coulson's team, to all of you...'

'Then what's holding you back from taking our offer?'

'I wanna beat the crap out of Hydra, I want to hurt them, bad, just use my Berserker's rage on them... but I want to do this the right way. In open fight, I want them to know that I'm with S.H.I.E.L.D. No more hiding, no more secrets and lies... I just-' Ward sighed. 'I swore to myself that if I have a chance to become a good guy, I'll take it. But this offer... you still think of me as a traitor. And I get it, really, after all that's probably who I am... but I wanna change that. You only want me so I can betray someone, again... and betraying, bad guys or not – it's still betraying, so doing the wrong thing. I don't want to be a traitor anymore, because, I know it might sound stupid, good guys aren't traitors.' Ward sat down on the ground opposite to Skye and buried his head in his hands.

'So this is your final answer?' Skye asked one more time to be sure.

'Yes, I won't help you, at least not like that...'

'Fine...' Skye got up from bed and came to the door. 'Guard!'

Ward in one quick movement rose to his feet . 'You're leaving already?'

Skye heard in his voice sadness. But she turned to guard that now opened the door. 'Is everything prepared James?'

'Yes Ma'am' he answered and left.

Skye turned back to Ward. 'Yeah, I'm leaving... and so are you.'

To say that Grant was shocked would be an understatement. He didn't know what was going on. Was he moved somewhere else?

'Wait, what do you mean? Where am I going?'

'You're going with me Ward' she smiled slightly. 'Back to our team.'

Something in Ward's stomach tingled when he heard Skye saying "our team".

'But...how? I mean... why? It's not... it's not that I'm not happy... but- but- I just turned down your offer!' Ward couldn't form a proper sentence.

'It was a test, Ward' Skye was now fully smiling. 'Oh, God! This is soo uncomfortable' she then undo her hair and they all fall down her back. Then Skye unbuttoned few buttons on her shirt to reveal purple top that she was wearing under her shirt. 'Now, that's much better... I swear if Coulson made me wear this kind of clothes again, I'll reveal to everyone that he loves watching cat videos on YouTube.'

Now that was Skye that Ward remembered and loved all this time.

'A test?' He raised his brows.

'We had to be sure that you won't betray us again. And then Fitz came up with this idea-'

'Fitz! Oh my God, is he alright? How is he?!' Grant interrupted her.

'Well you'll ask him yourself once we'll be back in a Playground.'

Ward stood there shocked. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

Then Skye did something that surprised him even more – she took his hand in hers and dragged him out of that cell.

'C'mon Robot! I'm taking you home' she smiled again. 'Oh and I'm sorry for this whole yelling part but Coulson told me to do that...'

And then Grant did what he haven't done in a long time – he laughed, for real.

He never felt that carefree in his life. He truly was going home, because his home was wherever Skye was.

A.N.: And that's the end of it ;] did any of you thought that this would be Grant's decision? Leave a review – they're like a chocolate chip cookies with milk for me!

Until next time,
