Coulson was at the conference table with the team. The old members and new, looking at the face of Grant Ward.
He had done it again.
Fooled them so easily words could not express his emotions.
He knew that later would come anger and hate. But now was simply shock.
When it was revealed that the Kraken had been taking orders from someone. The frustration was palatable. He had wondered then when it would all end. But after Mockingbird brought in footage of his video conference with the mysterious boss. It had seemed everything would work out. Sure taking HYDRA down would take longer than they thought, but he was a patient man.
Now he wasn't so sure. Everything he knew or thought he knew was a lie
It was like playing checkers while your opponent was playing chess
May growled 'this time I'm going to break more than his larynx'
He glanced at Skye and what he saw there was a sight that made him pause. Cold rage.
Grant Ward might be an evil genius mastermind, but he had shown his hand now.

Later would come the questions if his suicide attempts, all his conversations were an elaborate ploy. Now though he had to find him.
Lance Hunter spoke 'You know. I kind of like him better knowing he's not a love sick wimp… What?''
