Johnny Blaze sat in the interrogation room Damn it! I don't have time for this what are they thinking? He thought to himself. After a couple of minutes Coulson walked in carrying a file he took a seat across from Johnny placing it on the table
"So your Johnny Blaze a former stunt rider I'm curious what do you think your'e doing interfering with Shield business?" Coulson asked clearly trying to be nice "Look I don't know what he did to you but he's dangerous."
Johnny laughed "Yeah you have no idea. Trust me on this you need to forget about Grant Ward he's dangerous more dangerous than you know he killed his brothers, sister, and parents to become what he is now. Let me deal with him please! You have no idea what you are dealing with. You and all of your people are going to die if you don't listen to me."
"Just what exactly do you think Ward has become?" Coulson asked clearly skeptical.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Who would believe that I sold my soul to a demon and now that demon's bastard son was running around wreaking havoc killing his human family to complete his transformation.
"Try me." Coulson replied with a smirk. He honestly didn't know what was happening nor would he believe after all this wasn't Coulson's world. He faced aliens and super powered humans not demons and all the other spooks that went bump in the night.
Johnny shook his head this guy is going to think I'm crazy or lying "Okay a few decades ago there was this rich guy he wanted his oldest son to be the next freaking JFK so he sold his soul to a demon but the demon didn't just want the man's soul. He wanted the man's wife to bear him a son. Why I don't know but he micro managed the kid's life from the shadows watching him get abused, arranging for this Garrette guy to bring him into Hydra and subsequently drill any and all humanity out of him. I'm assuming you found strange impressions in the wounds left by the blade? Their magical symbols belonging to a demonic blade the more this Ward guy kills people he's connected to whether by blood or through some strong emotional attachment the less human he becomes. I guess you could say his heart is getting blacker with each kill."
"You really expect me to believe that there are demons and you really expect to believe that Ward is the bastard son of a demon?" Coulson asked clearly skeptical.
Johnny gave Coulson a fierce look "Yes and I am begging you to let me go so I can fight him your out of your depth Coulson. What Ward is or is becoming it's not something you can handle. He's beyond you now Coulson you'll never be able to capture him much less stand against him. So take the advice he gave you when he left you that note on Christian's body and forget him you and your team forget Ward forget you ever met him and knew him. Just go back to your Hydra and your aliens. This is not your world."
Ward sat a bar table he'd shaved his face since escaping he couldn't stand having a beard it was itchy and it was what really driving him insane. He often thought it was inhumane of his old team to not allow a man the simplest of accommodations like a shower, a clean shave, or a tooth brush. An entire year had passed since he'd escaped and he'd made some interesting discoveries about his heritage but more on that later.
As Ward finished his scotch he heard the sounds of sirens blaring finally found me huh. He thought to himself taking a sip. In a few minutes the two female stooges busted in the door May, and Skye.
The first to speak was May still poised and in control as always aiming her gun at Ward "It's over Ward we're taking you in."
Ward rolled his eyes he'd wondered where the bartender had gone clearly S.H.I.E.L.D. had warned him ahead of time and he ran off "Do you mind I'm trying to enjoy a nice drink."
"You're kidding right you are a wanted terrorist do you really think you can just stroll on in to a bar and have drink you have to pay for your crimes Ward!" Skye yelled appalled by his indifference.
Ward turned around facing Skye and May "Actually I can I did and I will. Now you two have two choices take your little army out there and run back to S.H.I.E.L.D. or I kill you both and decorate this fine establishment with your insides."
Skye scowled at Ward in disgust "You're a monster Ward, a killer!"
Surprisingly Ward just starred at her blinking like he needed truly register what she saying Skye didn't know what but something was different about him. Ward didn't seem like himself he wasn't showing signs of his usual delusional personality he was focused, down to Earth, and even stranger he didn't seem to care Skye was in the room he was barely even paying attention to her. After a long silence he burst into laughter "A monster Skye? You think I'm a monster let me tell you something you're friend here May she's a killer just like me she's killed people for money she justifies it by saying that they were bad people or that because of what she's done innocent lives will be sparred but at the end of it all a killer is a killer."
"Shut up!" Skye shouted "I am done listening to you Ward every word that comes out of your mouth is like poison just die!" In a fit of rage she fired the gun unloading the clip into Ward he stumbled grabbing the table.
May's mouth opened shocked by what Skye had just done "Skye what did you just do?"
Skye just starred at Ward her eyes blaring with hatred "Does it matter? The bastard is finally dead."
The two women heard laughing and though they were shocked and alarmed they readjusted their aim as a laughing Ward stood back up "You should be dead! No one could survive that many bullets!" May screamed.
"Oh really May we're playing that game? Where you get scarred and I the big monster just laugh. Then you ask what I am and I kill you both in a classic bloody fashion. Well the answer to the questions scurrying around in your heads is that I have evolved and my evolution has forced sanity upon me so now I see things for as they truly are so make no mistake Skye!" Ward ripped off his blood stained shirt and his skin started to change color becoming black as night, his eyes turning blood red, and his hair growing long and wild. "There will be no attempts at reconciliation Skye! There will be no attempts to earn your trust back there will only be me ripping out your beating heart and eating it! I hope you've made peace with God because there's nothing but hell for both of you from here on out!"
