Please come get me."
Of all the words that Ward had expected to hear come out of Skye's mouth, those weren't them. Of course, he hadn't expected to ever hear something out of Skye's mouth again. He'd always assumed next time they met, she'd just shoot him again. This time to kill.
Of course, she was talking to him on the phone. Because she'd been able to get his phone number.
"You told me someday I'd understand." Skye added. "That's today. I understand, Ward. God help me, I understand."
That's great, Skye. Why couldn't you have come to that conclusion when there was something in me left to save? When there was something more in me than revenge. Once, those words would have been… well, he would have loved to hear them.
But right now there was nothing else to him but revenge. Revenge on May, on Morse, on Coulson. Revenge on Hydra - once he'd killed May and Morse and brought S.H.I.E.L.D. down around Coulson's ears, he'd finish off Hydra. He'd put everything into place to destroy the organization he'd painstakingly rebuilt in a matter of hours. And then…
And then there wouldn't be anything else for him. He knew revenge - closure - was the only thing keeping him going. The only thing he had.
Once that was done, he'd end his own suffering. He'd finally be at peace.
But now Skye was here, dangling hope he didn't want or deserve in front of him. There wasn't enough good in him to take what Skye was offering. He'd gone too far, would keep going too far.
"I told you someday you'd understand. But I didn't say I'd be there when it happened. You rejected every attempt I made… now I'm going to do the same for you. Because now… now you're going to understand Skye. You're going to understand all of it." He closed the phone before he could tell her 'I'm sorry'. He had to keep her away from him. He had to make sure she stayed away. She couldn't be brought down into nothing with him.
Why did it have to take you so long Skye?
