The first time Grant sees her it's on his way to work. He just came out of the subway and she was strolling in lazily with a guy's arm wrapped around her waist. So different from the rest of them! She's beautiful, she honestly is, the most perfect creature he has ever seen. With her doe brown eyes and her long hair flowing around her.
She's gone before he knows it.
~oOo~
He doesn't think about her, that's just silly; or that's what he's been telling to himself the past few weeks. Work has been tough lately, being a double spy is not exactly easy. Between Shield and John he's been losing himself.
But the girl from the subway is still haunting his dreams. So he's surprised when he bumps onto her a few weeks later. He's walking into his favorite coffee shop and she's coming out and their bodies collide with each other and he can't breath. She whispers a quick 'sorry' without even looking but he can see the tears running down her beautiful face.
Who would make such an angel cry?
~oOo~
He's been distracted lately, John had said so. Truth is that Grant is tired of all this. Tired of his work, tired of John, tired of lying in general. He hasn't seen the girl again and it's annoying him beyond belief. The fact that someone he doesn't even know has been burned into his mind in that way is irritating.
It's almost as if she has waken a weakness inside of him.
~oOo~
He finally gets his wish a few months later. Coulson recruits him into his team. Their first mission? Find a Rising Tide hacker and bring them in. He expects anything but the girl that has been haunting his dreams all this time.
This won't end well, he knows it the minute he pulls that bag off of her head. She's still as beautiful as even and he can't take his eyes off of her.
Something pulls at his insides. Of course this won't end well. When did it ever did with him?
