(Present)
Head Agent Skye follows Agent Barton into the meeting room and immediately squeals when she sees FitzSimmons at the table talking " Fitz! Simmons !" she looks to Ward and says " Don't move from Agent Barton's side." She releases the energy cuffs and runs over to the biochemist and engineer who stood up and in unison replied " Skye!" Jemma is the first one in Skye's arms and Skye is scolding " Jemma Don't ever put your lives in danger like that again! I would never forgive myself if I lost my sister figure! And Fitz! What were you thinking getting Garrett mad like that he could've shot you!" she turned and scolded the engineer who rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly as he was then pulled into a bone crushing hug as she continued " You should've seen how I reacted ... you actually wouldn't believe it!" May and Triplett enter and Triplett cut in " If I remember correctly you nearly took off Agent May's head off and turned a whole portrit to ash then you proceeded to drag us all here and face the avengers individually to get their help." he says with a smirk as FitzSimmon's both gasp in disbelief as Simmons looked to Skye and stuttered " You did WHAT?!" Skye shyly smiled as Stark entered " Basically she got so mad that she beat her boyfriend up when she found out he ejected you into the ocean I think he has some cracked ribs by the very subtle way that he is breathing shallowly ... Energy Queen here is a determined hacker ... can you believe she hacked Jarvis and fought the Hulk just to save your lives?" FitzSimmons looked to their resident hacker and their jaws dropped as Jemma narrowed her eyes and with a authoritive voice " Head Agent Skye with all due respect you and I have alot to talk about." Suddenly all the Avengers and all of Colson's team were in the room and Maria Hill cleared her throat getting everyone's attention, Skye moved to Grant's side reattaching the energy cuffs as Maria Hill looked to Ward with a glare making Skye roll her eyes but Director Colson saw conflict brewing and quietly whispered into Skye's ear " Skye either you put Ward in a cell or put up a energy field around him... please to avoid a fight." Skye nodded albeit reluctantly as she through her arms up around Ward before stepping into the field quickly and saying " Sorry I have to keep you in here till the meeting is over they still haven't ruled on what to do with you... Don't worry Ill keep you safe." she gave him a small smile before exiting the green forcefield where Maria Hill was crossing her arms in front of her and asked " What are you doing head agent Skye?" Skye rolls her eyes already disliking Maria Hill so she calmly with a raised eyebrow replied " No offense to you former deputy director... but I don't have to answer you... but if you must know I am keeping him in a soundproof force field that only I can enter or take down and as long as he is in there he can not hear anything we discuss."
Maria Hill raised a eyebrow to the audacity of the hacker but sat down in her seat as Director Colson started the meeting " okay first order of business is what to do with ex hydra/ shield agent Grant Ward... any suggestions?" Skye's fist balled up but she bit her tongue to remain silent as various people gave their suggestions, " Put him in front of a firing squad." Says Maria nonchalantly, " Give me twenty minutes with him." Says May impassively, "Let the Hulk smash him." says Tony making Skye want to smash him and thankfully Bruce interrupts " Ummm i am not letting the other guy smash him and also even if I did let him Energy queen is hulk's friend and she won't allow him to smash him" Natasha shrugs and says " Let hawk shoot him with a few explosive arrows." Clint smiled as he twirled an arrow in the air agreeing with his partners suggestion, Skye couldn't keep quiet any longer as she jumped to her feet and yelled " You five are a bunch of hypocrites!" she glares at May, Maria, Tony, Natasha and Clint with her eyes glowing red, and Maria stands to her feet leaning over the table to look at the hacker and with a venomous tone spoke " What was that head agent Skye?!" Skye leaned across the table getting closer to Maria and with a dark voice replied " You know exactly what that was Ms. Hill! You act as though you have never made a mistake in your life but I know your mistake was in London 1989 , Agent Romanoff you were just like ward a killer and Agent Barton was sent to cross you off but he gave you a second chance in life. Stark you were a ultimate idiot and it almost cost you your life but thanks to multiple circumstances especially after New York you learned that you made a mistake and changed to get a second chance. Agent Barton Asia 1985 you were also granted a second chance on life and redemption. You all did far worse or as bad as Former Agent Grant Ward! But unlike you guys he started trying to redeem himself when he risked his life to give FitzSimmons a chance to live! Yes he betrayed Shield but in all honesty he was raised Hydra from the age of seventeen he was made to be a robot to follow Garretts orders at all cost but in the end he chose to save Fitzsimmons instead of shooting them... he willingly let me crack two of his ribs and send him through the room flying several times then shoot me. Grant Ward deserves the same chance everyone else has received."
Everyone looked to Skye in shock as they realised that she was being quite logical, Skye sighed " If anyone has any right at him its May, FitzSimmons and myself... as much as you Ms. Hill think you have a right at him you don't." Maria brought her hand to her side pistol and with a glare said " I am seriously considering shooting you Skye Agent or Hacker it makes no difference... you are ignoring thirteen SHIELD protocols!" Skye opened her hand letting a green energy ball raise up into the air as she looks Maria directly in the eyes and with a calm voice replied " I am not your enemy Ms. Hill but threaten me or Grant Ward and a smashing from Hulk will be mercy considered what I can do to you if need be... I am not saying Ward should be allowed to fully join the team again... he has to earn our trust again. But I am suggesting that he be given a second chance to make things right... a chance at redemption and maybe down the line join Shield when he proves his loyalty." she extinguishes the energy ball and sits down , Maria sat down as well and Steve spoke up "Skye has earned my vote therefore I agree that Grant Ward should receive a second chance everyone should." Fitzsimmons were whispering before they both calmly stood up " We agree with Head Agent Skye, he saved our lives therefore we vote that Ward be given a second chance." they said together before sitting back down making Colson surprised by their response . "All in favor of Grant Ward being given a second chance raise your hand." Said The director and immediately Skye, Clint, Steve, Bruce, Fitz, And Simmons all raised their hands and Colson said " and All opposed ?" May, Natasha, Tony and Maria put their hands up and Colson looked to Agent Triplett and said " You haven't voted Agent Triplett." Skye looks to Ward in the force field and with a desperate look looks to Triplett and with a emotionless face looks to Director Colson and with a shrug he replies " Thor and i are in favor of both options ... but in all honesty if I have to choose one side or the other ... I choose Skye's side she was the one to discover him being hydra and together we were all able to take down hydra ... I trust Head Agent Skye's instincts."
" Skye please talk the field down I have made my decision." Says Director Colson as he stood up and very reluctantly Skye walked over to the energy field with a sigh she put her hand to the energy field and it dissolved. Ward looked to Skye questionably and she gave him a small reassuring smile as Colson stepped In front of her and with a impassive face " Ward we have been arguing over what to do with you ... Maria and May on the positive side of shooting or releasing the Cavalry on you, Skye on the side of you deserving a second chance which surprises me because you hurt her the most by your betrayal... Ward your life hangs on what I decide to do to you. I would love nothing more than to have the Hulk smash you into a million pieces but as both Dr. banner and Skye pointed out the hulk is friends with the Energy Queen as he calls Skye so that option is off the table. Which then gives me the choice of having Agent Barton , and Maria shoot you and release the Cavalry on you ." He looks over to Skye who is fighting to stay Impassive as her eyes glow on and off as she looks to Colson desperately making him continue " But as Skye so nicely threatened she would make the hulk smashing them into a pulp a mercy compared to what she'd unleash if someone threatened you or her. Therefore Skye's option has the most backing with everyone but four individuals and as I trust Skye implicitly we will go with her option."
