Skye was angry-no, furious! How could Ward betray them like this? She trusted him; they all did! Well, Coulson did suspect him once it was found out that the innocent man he shot wasn't really the Clairvoyant… but still! Ward is a part of Hydra? She always thought that he was one of the most loyal men ever. He was her S.O, they've gone on missions together, and he saved Simmons from falling to her death, Skye teased him about being a robot, they played battleship together, they've shared some laughs together… she remembered the one time Fitz and Simmons made fun of him for saying that the Night-Night pistol was 'one ounce to heavy'.
"I'm Agent Grant Ward. I can shoot the legs off a flea at 500 yards, as long as it's not windy," Fitz imitated, and then Simmons joined in.
"I'm Agent Grant Ward, and I could rupture your spleen with my left pinky... blindfolded."
Ward heard all this and came in the room.
"I'm Agent Grant Ward. I just jumped out of a plane without a parachute on, saved your life," he mocked.
"Actually, that's not quite it. It's a bit more nasal than that," Simmons teased.
The team was like a family to her now, and the idea that any one of them aren't really on their side… she didn't know what to believe anymore. She really felt for Coulson too, having to deal with yet another betrayal. One of the worst things about this was that they were becoming friends, and up until now she was probably going to be more than friends with him. They were going to have a drink and talk and everything! And now, it turns out he is one of the bad guys. And he got all upset at me that time I betrayed the team, like he knows anything about loyalty!
He was such a liar! And to think she kissed that jerk, and worried about him when he fought those guys! When did he decide to turn on them anyways? Was he lying all along, or just recently? What she didn't understand is, why would he lie to her about caring for her and wanting to talk to her? Was he really that sick, that he would pretend to care about her, and then later enjoy seeing her suffer over him? Something about it just didn't seem to add up. When they were hiding in that closet he certainly seemed to be a good guy.
"If I do die, maybe I deserve it."
"Wait, slow down. What?" How could he say he deserves to die?
"I killed an innocent man, Skye," he said, looking really troubled.
"You didn't know! You thought you were doing the right thing, you thought he was going-" she started to defend him but he interrupted her.
"To hurt you."
Maybe he isn't really evil, maybe this is like one of the other times he was emotionally compromised, like with the berserker staff or with Lorelei, or maybe he was being controlled or brainwashed somehow. It had to be, she tried to convince herself. Sometimes Ward seemed to be a cold, all business type of guy, (and apparently "boring" according to him), but he definitely had his moments when he actually seemed to be a really sweet guy, especially lately (nevermind that he could be a turncoat). It had to be some kind of weird alien or something taking over his mind, because this whole 'Ward is a bad guy' thing just wasn't working out.
Please, Ward. Don't do this. Just… please.
There was one thing she knew for sure though, she finally became an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and they were going to take Hydra and the Clairvoyant down, whether her S.O. was on their side or not.
A/N: I might add more chapters later as the show goes on…
