I will rewatch the episodes following the reveal of Hydra and rewrite the story close to what I see. Lets see with what I come up. If you have suggestions or ideas I'm happy to read them! Just gimme a comment ;-)
Lets get started with the end of season 1 episode 17. Every followingchapter will deal with another episode. Lets see where this is heading...
Ward stepped up in front of the traitor and looked him straight in the eye. He seemed calm and ready to avenge the lives that had been taken by the monster inside the family.
Fitz couldn't wait to see him taking down the monster that was responsible for all that mayhem, the destruction of all that was good and important to Fitz.
He turned to look at the man, seeing him terrified, seeing how he would react to a direct thread.
And Garret looked back at him, had obviously waited to see him turn and sneered the moment Fitz laid eyes on him.
That was the moment he felt something was wrong.
Gunshots rang loudly in the confined space but the cruel sneer on the man's face didn't falter. The scientist felt his stomach churn when the surprised agents sacked down the wall, they had had no time to react. He looked up at Ward just as he turned and shoot Hand without hesitation, without a flicker of emotion in his face. Just then he sat down again after nodding to Garret. Impassively, as if nothing hat happened. Fitz was too shocked to do more than glare.
"Ward?" He mumbled, "how, what?" With a shocked expression he looked back and forth between the man he thought of as a friend who didn't even looked at him and the corpse of Agent Hand. He just couldn't get it his mind just didn't accept it.
A sudden motion next to his face startled him. Garret had gotten up and stood now directly in front of the younger man, gloating down at him.
"What about my offer son? Sounds not that bad now anymore huh?" He opined.
Fitz felt nothing. It was as if a big black hole had opened and swallowed all his emotions but a vague feeling of shock.
The head of HYDRA laughed. "We'll see to that later. Ward!" The other man looked up at him. "See that he can't do any damage, search him for any gadgets he might have and try to use, I don't want anything like the impulse again! Then confine him securely. I don't need any surprises."
Garret was all business now. He watched with only the smallest hint of a smile when Ward got up immediately starting to shuffle though Fitz clothing and extracting a few items from his pockets completely ignoring the discomfort he caused.
Without ever looking his former teammate in the eyes Ward finished his thorough search and bound the young scientist's wrists tightly beneath his back. Then he pushed him back into the seat and buckled him up.
Fitz barely held up against the humiliation of being searched by a former team member. It was so embarrassing. The shock and terror he felt kept him from struggling and he felt ashamed when he sat there, immobilized. But what could he have done? He glared at Ward and felt hatred rising again. How could he! He, Fitz would do anything to stop them! From now on, he would resist with every fiber of his being.
"I will NEVER be like you!" he said to the stern and impassive man who had just crouched down to tie his feet. "Traitor!"
Ward just looked down at his task unmoving. He gave no sign that he had heard but Garret chuckled.
He bowed down to Fitz and smirked when he jumped in his restraints. "No my friend you're quite wrong!" He laughed, "Our friend Ward here has never been a traitor. To say the truth, he's one of the most loyal men you'll ever get to know! He's just never been loyal to you! The sooner you learn from him and do what is best the better."
Seeing the resentment clearly showing in the younger man's face he just laughed.
"You will be useful m'boy! One way or the other, you'll be useful!"
With that he turned and started to chat happily at Warden who hadn't shown much passion after he had shot the entire number of loyal shield Agents on the plane.
Fitz let his head sink back and sighted. He pressed his eyes shut and tried to start thinking, making plans for his escape, for sabotaging his captors, anything but all he could think of was the betrayal he just witnessed.
