Authors Note:I know I should be working on Cat Claw, but that muse fluttered off into a black hole. This story is probably not going to follow the canon. I really only saw the first three episodes of AoS, what I know about it comes from other fanfics. Lastly, updates will be erratic at best and don't expect them to get much longer. My mind works only in short bursts.
In future chapters, there's some Russian. I apologize ahead of time if I butcher the language. I don't speak Russian and had to rely on various internet translators.
Lastly, I've created a playlist that you can find on youtube by searching for the username Cinder Korvon and the playlist Ravens.
Ward tensed as the cold gray interrogation door slammed open. Eyes flickered between the three intruders. Starting with Coulson's hard gaze to May's confidently righteous one, he couldn't help but linger on Skye. She edged in behind them. Hiding. Clearly, she didn't want to be there. Perhaps she felt the need to "face her demons". Or, maybe Simmons convinced her.
Ward felt his gut twist in responce, but kept his facial expression lightly scornful. After all, he could withstand whatever tortures they concocted. Garrett had made sure of that.
Ward involuntarily jerked back as Coulson stepped forward. He held a sharp needle. Not a particularly large one, but it contained a clear substance of indeterminate content.
"What's that?" He demanded wairly, voice still ruff and gravelly. His fight with May had consequences. In all honestly he had been surprised to recieve medical treatment. The Doc's told him without remorse that the damage was permanent. Ward had felt panic in that moment, but the tall, hulking bodyguards deterred him from acting out any more than clenching his hands into fists hard enough to draw blood.
"Oh just truth serum, the real one this time." Coulson's honeyed voice responded. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Skye twitch. Ward's lips briefly curved upward.
"I told Skye I would tell her anything she asked." Ward replied, voice taunt as he tracked May's slow progress towards the wall. She settled into a dark corner. Skye scoffed. Coulson looked mildly disapproving and said, "As if we would trust you after your betrayal. You're Hydra Ward."
Ward's rebuke of how he had only been loyal to Garrett was on tip of his tounge when Coulson stabbed his arm.
Ward had a precious few seconds of clarity in which he used to glower at the team before the the edges of his vison blured away.
Seeing Ward's unfocused gase and noting how his hands relaxed, as they had previously been straining at his cuffs, Coulson leisurely sat down. Spreading some files across the table a moment later.
"Let's start with some control questions, shall we?"
