New story I thought of recently. This is based off another story I am writing as a book. I'm thinking of having about three parts. Not sure how many chapters each. Maybe about ten to fifteen based on how many people like this. This is completely AU so most of it is made up for this story. Also SHIELD in this story is known to everyone kind of like how the FBI is set up.


The mission was simple enough to Grant Ward that he thought he didn't need backup. Hunter and Morse were still arguing in the truck when he left it in a parking lot a street away. Mack was the only one that seemed to be in protest of him leaving saying that they needed to wait for Coulson who was still back at headquarters.

How hard was it to take down Daniel Whitehall? All he needed to do was to bring him into custody and that was going to mean game over.

The warehouse that Whitehall was using used to be a large storage unit for the military. It was abandoned a few years back, almost looking like someone had forgotten it was there. No traces of any military personnel using it.

When Grant gets inside to take a look, it's dark. He's not sure if Whitehall was here exactly in the first place. So he pulls out his gun and attaches the flashlight to the top of it that way he could see what was happening.

The first time he ever encountered Daniel Whitehall was two years ago when he first met his sister. Skye Johnson was finishing up college with her best friend Jemma Simmons when Whitehall made an appearance at the basketball game they were playing in. The scientist liked to make a grand entry so why not during March Madness.

Grant thought it was quite a coincidence that Whitehall led him to where his sister was at. He had been looking for his real family since his last few years of college. The agent had graduated five years before the March Madness scare as he called it. Grant had found out he was adopted when he came home shortly after he found out about the death of his two best friends he had since childhood. He was trying to find old mementos he had kept so he could share them at the funerals.

At the bottom of the box he found his adoption papers and his birth certificate. The papers that told him his family wasn't his. The parents he grew up with weren't his. The two brothers, Christian and Thomas weren't his either. The sister Grant had, he rarely saw her as she was constantly at boarding school. The birth certificate told him who his real father was. The one that gave him up for adoption.

Grant eventually took it to his adoptive parents and they were reluctant to tell him and denied it until he showed them the paperwork. They wouldn't tell him anything but his grandmother ended up telling him everything.

His biological mother had died during childbirth and his father didn't think he was fit to raise him. That was how had been put up for adoption. He ended up asking Christian about it one day and he said he couldn't remember. He was only two when Grant was brought home as a young six month old baby.

So Grant kept his search up while studying hard to get his degree. He wondered how long it was going to take exactly. After all Johnson was a common name.

As it turned out Skye had been looking for her long lost brother too. Hers just took a little bit longer with the amount of activities she had in her spare time.

Grant kept searching around the abandoned warehouse not seeing anything really in particular. It wasn't until he rounded the corner and stepped on something that was thick and a little slimy. When he shined his flashlight towards the ground, the agent saw the puddle. It looked to be blood mixed in with some kind of goop. He leaned down to touch it and rubbed it in between his fingers.

The agent hadn't seen that much blood since his sister was in the hospital. Skye was taken hostage the morning after their team had eventually won March Madness after the week and half delay. Her best friend, Jemma had left her to get them breakfast from the cafeteria. Skye had stayed outside of the room watching the status on their friend Leo Fitz who had been shot by Whitehall a week before.

When Jemma came back, there was no sign of Skye anywhere. So she called Grant and he contacted Coulson. Grant was still kind of surprised she called him and not Coulson directly after the argument they had on the plane Coulson had. Jemma didn't believe that Grant was Skye's brother. That everything about it was made up just to get Skye to trust him.

Hunter and Morse were the ones that ended up finding Skye. When they got to her, part of her stomach was already cut open and she was unconscious, losing a lot of blood in the meantime. Whitehall had been trying to play operation with her.

The two agents with the help of Mack ended up getting her to a hospital just in time for them to perform surgery. When the doctors asked for someone with the same blood type, they tested a few of them and Grant was the only one that ended up matching. After all of that, he asked for a DNA test and a few days later while Skye was recovering, he found out she was his sister.

Jemma had eventually apologized and during the time Skye was in the hospital, she offered to take him out to dinner. By the time Skye had woken up she found out that she had finally found her brother but also her best friend had hooked up with him.

Grant pushed off his knees to stand back up again. He continued to follow the blood trail up some stairs until he reached a set of doors. Carefully he pushed it open to find a lit room that looked to be where Whitehall was stationed at. What he saw ahead of him was the dead body lying face down on the ground near an operating table. A source from what the blood came from. By the time that Grant could walk towards the body, he was hit at full force by something hard. His vision started getting fuzzy and someone was helping carry him somewhere.

"Now now. Everything will be alright." He heard what could have been Whitehall's voice with a laugh.


Skye Johnson was at home grading papers when she hears her phone chirp multiple times. The sound makes Buddy, Jemma and Grant's dog bark in excitement. From some reason he always knew it was Grant contacting her. She takes a look at phone and unlocks it before answering.

"Hey bro." she says automatically. "Coming home anytime soon? Jemma is-"

Skye is cut off by a deep heavy breath.

"Grant?"

She doesn't hear a reply until ten seconds later.

"Hello Skye. I hope your scar is doing a lot better."

Skye knows the voice but she can't comprehend who is on the other side of the phone talking to her.

"Who is this?"

"I have your brother here with me. If you don't want me to kill him then you better come and find him."

Skye finds herself breathing heavily almost to the point to where she can't breathe at all. She reaches into her desk drawer and grabs her inhaler quickly shaking it and popping the cap off before bringing it up to her mouth.

When she is done, the teacher realizes who has her brother. The man that captured her before two years ago, Daniel Whitehall.

"Where?" she asks.

"The old military warehouse." He says before she hears him click off.

Immediately after listening to silence for a few seconds, Skye stands up bringing her hand up to her face. Following that, with her anger all built up, she pushes everything that was on her desk off causing papers to fly onto the floor, other items being sent crashing only to prompt Jemma to run into the office. Buddy had automatically ran out when everything started being pushed off.

"Skye?" Jemma questioned from the doorway.

The teacher looked up to see her best friend standing there with a concerned look on her face. Skye wiped her eyes and then looked up.

"Whitehall has Grant." Skye tells her.

Jemma stands there silently before turning around to pace down the hallway for a few seconds. When she returns, she looks like a little bit calmer even though Skye can tell on the inside Jemma is furious.

"Is he why Grant has been gone since yesterday?"

Skye only nods in reply.

"Should we call Coulson?"

The teacher shakes her head no.

"You want to go after him yourself."

"You know me so well, Jem." Skye finally says.

Jemma shakes her head with her concerned face back on.

"Skye, no."

Skye grabs her backpack and starts emptying her extra school supplies before walking past Jemma to go to the hallway closet. She grabs some of the gear that Grant kept in there just in case something happened during the middle of the night.

When the teacher is done, she looks over at Jemma who also did the same thing. Skye was surprised that her best friend had finally agreed with what was going to happen. She too has her backpack and is ready to go.

"Do you ever think you got the wrong degree?" Jemma asks.

"No. I just like to have a hobby."


When Skye and Jemma got to the warehouse, the parking lot was empty. They were surprised that the rest of the team wasn't there. The two could hear the dirt pick up between Skye's car tires.

Skye was the first one to get out of the car. Jemma hadn't even unbuckled by the time Skye had gotten out. Her best friend was already running towards the building.

"Skye!" Jemma yelled.

When Skye hears her name, she turns around to face the actress. The teacher doesn't say anything and keeps running. Jemma can only think this feels like a movie they are doing across the lot from her TV show.

Minutes pass while Skye is looking for Grant. It's completely dark until she finds the electric box to turn on the lighting. When she turns around, the teacher comes face to face with a smiling Daniel Whitehall covering her mouth before she can scream.

Jemma is lost herself. She doesn't know exactly where Skye was at and she never understood why her best friend does this. The lighting is turned on when she steps on a puddle only to find it to be blood. She is really hoping it isn't Grant's blood when before she begins to follow it up the stairs.

The actress gets to the set of doors that the blood goes through only to push it open to find a lab type room that is all white. It's a huge room that's not all surprising. When Jemma looks up from checking the blood trail, she wants to scream.

There in front of her is Skye hanging from both her arms attached to a large plumbing pipe. There's tape covering her mouth and she already has a cut on her cheek. Near Skye was her brother. Grant was closer to the window that was already opened.

By the time she screams, Jemma is pushed to the ground by some of Whitehall's helpers. When she gets off the ground, the actress finds herself handcuffed to a chair.
