A/N: I'm not quite as satisfied with this one as some of my others. It didn't come out as smoothly onto paper (or online document, as it were). But here it is nonetheless! Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this fic nor do I own Agents of SHIELD. It's a shame. If I did, things would have gone so much better.


"Everything will play out exactly like we planned." said Grant Ward.

"How can you be so sure?" Gideon Malick asked him.

"Because," Grant said, pausing for dramatic effect as the strange background music reached its crescendo. "I read the script."

He held said script out for Malick to see.

"What?" Now Malick was confused. "But this says that you die in the next episode. Doesn't seem like a success. And why do you have a script? It's not like we're in a TV show or anything."

"That's what you think." Grant looked directly into the camera. "Remember kids, don't do any of this at home, eat your vegetables, and make sure to drink at least 64 ounces of water every day so you stay HYDRAted."

"What are you doing?"

"Well, this way parents can't say we don't provide a good message. Do you see Coulson and SHIELD promoting good health? No." Grant smirked. "Now I can have the upper hand."

"Cut!" Yelled a third person, who had not been shown as of yet. "Try to keep focused, guys. Let's try this again."

"Wha- who are you?!" Malick exclaimed.

Grant shook his head. "Are you telling me you completely missed the cameras and crew that have been following us this entire time?"

The two men were then blocked by the outline of a man standing directly in front of the camera. "Just stop filming already! Let's start over!"

With that, the screen went black.


A/N 2: Once again, I hope you enjoyed it! Leave a review please! I'd love to get some feedback on the story and my writing!
