Hey guys! Well, I'm pretty tired right now considering I was up until 6 am last night with my friends. It was a fun party though. I'm pretty sure I gave my friend the best birthday present out of everyone's. Not to brag or anything. Anyways, I hope you all like this new chapter!

BTW, I realized Skye is a little OC in this story, but that's just because she's going through PTSD. It caused her to become emotional and abnormal from her usual character. So, sorry about that, but that's just how it's gonna be.

Enjoy!

Olivia walked over to Finn who was working at the computer. "Anything on the brother's location?" She asked him.

"I found his home address" He answered, shrugging, "and according to what Agent Ward knows, he should be home right now."

"Okay." Olivia said and nodded to Elliot, "Let's go get him."

The detectives got to Ben Ward's home. It was an apartment building. They climbed the stairs and found his apartment. Olivia nodded to Elliot for confirmation. Elliot knocked on the door. "Ben Ward?" He called.

Footsteps could be heard inside and a few seconds later, a man opened the door. He was about as tall as Ward but had a lighter shade of brown hair and his eyes were flecked with green. He wore a black and white flannel with worn-out jeans. "Yeah?" He asked nonchalantly.

Elliot and Olivia showed him their badges. He looked at them like they didn't matter. "You're gonna need to come with us." Olivia said simply. Elliot grabbed him by the arm and dragged him down the hall.

"What?" Ben asked, "What did I do?"

Elliot practically threw him in the backseat of the car. He took the drivers seat while Olivia got in the passenger seat.

Once they were back in the precinct, Elliot led him towards one of the interrogation rooms. He glanced over at the agents and spotted Skye. His eyes turned stony and he ripped out of Elliot's grasp. "You bitch!" He started to Skye with his fist raised. Simmons immediately shielded Skye. When Ben was about 5 feet from Skye, Grant ran in front of them and caught Ben's fist with his hand. Ben's eyes went wide as he recognized the face. "Wimpy little Grant?"

"Ben." Grant spat through gritted teeth.

"What are you gonna do?" Ben asked sarcastically, "I can beat the crap out of you before you even realize what's happening." Grant tightened his grip on Ben's fist. Ben glanced over his shoulder to Skye. He laughed a little, "You know that little slut?"

With that sentence, the Berserker staff took over. Grant swung his other hand and punched Ben hard enough to knock him onto the nearest desk. "That was for calling her a slut." He growled and turned to go to Skye. Ben scowled and picked himself up. He was about to punch Grant in the back of the head but Grant turned around and blocked the hit.

Ben was shocked that now Grant could defend himself. He soon got over that and tried to kick Grant in the side. Grant easily caught his leg and flipped him over onto the floor. Ben landed onto his face on the floor. Grant stooped down, grabbed his right arm and pinned it behind his back. "Surprised I can defend myself now?" Grant spat.

"Agent Ward!" Elliot called. He pulled Grant off of him and pulled Ben to his feet.

Grant watched as Elliot led Ben to the interrogation room. He saw another man walk into the room. An Asian man about Elliot's age. Skye escaped Simmons grasp and ran over to him. She cupped his face in her hands and looked at his eyes. They'd turned from a chocolate brown to almost pure black. She knew what this meant. "Grant, look at me." She ordered quietly. When he didn't obey she repeated with more force, "Grant, look at me."

He finally looked at her. He looked her straight in the eyes. As soon as he caught sight of her soft, vulnerable eyes, the anger diminished. Skye let out a breath of relief as his eyes returned to their normal color. Olivia took note of how Grant had lost his temper so rapidly. She remembered that he had at least five minutes alone with Skye at the hospital. Her detective instincts took over. "Skye," She called. Skye turned to face her, "Can I talk to you privately for a few minutes?"

Skye looked at Grant for confirmation. He nodded, "I'll be right out here." He promised, "Run out if you need me." She nodded with a small smiled. He leaned down and placed a quick kiss on her lips.

Skye turned and followed Olivia into the hallway, out of earshot of the group. "Skye," She started, "Does Grant lose his temper a lot?"

Skye shrugged, "Sometimes. Depends on how mad he gets. Why?" Skye eyed Olivia curiously.

"I just saw how easily he lost his temper at his brother." Olivia explained.

"His brother was asking for it." Skye defended, "You don't know what Ben did to Grant and his little brother when they were kids. And, news flash! He just raped me!" Skye took a deep breath to try and rid her mind of the images flashing before her eyes.

"Right. That's what you told us." Olivia agreed, "How long were you two alone in your hospital room?"

"I don't know. Five to ten minutes?" Skye guessed, "Why?"

"That's long enough for him to tell you what to say to us, right?" Olivia pressed.

"Yeah, I guess." Skye said quietly. She was getting more and more agitated at Olivia's questioning. "What are you trying to say?"

"Skye," Olivia started, searching for the right words, "Is it possible that Grant was the one who attacked you and at the hospital he told you to blame his brother?"

"What?" Skye shouted. Olivia winced at the volume. "No! Grant would never do this to me!" Skye started towards the team with Olivia close behind. Skye turned back to her. "Grant loves me! He would jump off a cliff if he even so much thought about hurting me!" Skye turned again and ran the rest of the way. She immediately spotted Grant talking to Coulson, "Grant!"

Grant jogged to her and wrapped his arms around her. She fisted his shirt, trying her best not to turn around and slap Olivia just for accusing Grant. "Skye, what happened?" He asked, worry lacing in his voice.

"She blamed you!" Skye said, a few tears finding their way down her cheeks.

"What?" Fitzsimmons asked confused.

"Olivia!" Skye said, "She asked if Grant attacked me and told me to blame Ben!"

"What?" The whole team asked shocked as Olivia came up to Skye.

"It was just a suspicion based on how Agent Ward lost his temper so easily." Olivia clarified. "I'm sorry, but I needed to ask."

"Detective Benson, I can explain Ward's temper." Coulson said. He motioned for Olivia to follow him. Olivia waved to Elliot to join her and they followed him to the other side of the room. Grant sat Skye down and the team tried to calm her down a little to explain the whole story. Olivia and Elliot looked at Coulson expectantly. "A little while back we had a mission concerning an Asgardian artifact. The Berserker staff. Whoever takes hold of the staff acquires intense feelings of hatred causing them to gain superhuman strength. During the mission Agent Ward grasped the staff and was given the symptoms. Over time he's learned to control it. But, when he gets too angry with anyone, the staff takes over and he lashes out. The only one who can calm him back down so far is Skye."

"So, that's why she ran up to him without fear after he lashed out on his brother?" Elliot summarized.

"Exactly." Coulson said and looked back at his daughter. Grant had both of her hands in his in front of her and Simmons was rubbing her arm next to Grant. He turned to the detectives, "If you'll excuse me." He walked back over to Skye and the team.

Olivia turned to Elliot, "So, we can rule out any suspicion against the boyfriend." She concluded. Elliot nodded in agreement.

"Detectives," A voice called. They turned to see Dr. Haung, "I have the psych report on your victim."

"So, what are we dealing with here?" Elliot asked.

"It's a classic case of PTSD." Haung explained, "She's experiencing flashbacks. She's timid to get close to men that she doesn't know. Typical symptoms for rape victims." He shrugged as he had seen this too many times to count.

"Do you know why she clings to her boyfriend?" Elliot asked pointing to their position across the room.

"That's simple." Haung said, "She told you he protects her and the team, right, Olivia?" Olivia nodded, "She feels protected with him around. She believes that he will protect her from any danger that she's gonna face from now on. He acts almost as a security blanket to her."

"That's understandable." Elliot nodded.

"How do you suggest we get a confession out of our suspect?" Olivia asked.

"That's a little more difficult." Haung said a little sheepishly.

"We can handle difficult." Elliot said.

"Well," Haung started, "I discussed his and Agent Ward's childhood. It seems that he always, as he put it, 'beat the crap out of his wimpy little brothers.' I concluded that he wants to feel powerful. He'll only talk if he knows he's the most powerful in the room."

"So, what are you saying?" Olivia asked.

"He'll only confess if Skye's the one doing the questioning." Haung said. Olivia and Elliot gave him confused glances, "We need to get Skye to face her rapist."

Don't you just love all these cliffhangers? Hey, I said it was gonna be like a Law & Order episode. This is what they do. Believe me, I hate it too. But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Anyways, hope you all liked this chapter!
