Last chapter! Keeping it short.
The sound coming from the nearby alarm clock broke Hunter from his fantasy and brought him into reality. "Ugh," with a groan, he got up and readied for the day. At some point during his preparations, a realization dawned on him. "I understood Shakespeare," he (quite literally) dropped everything he was doing and went to find his ex-wife. When he did see her, he ran past her. "Bob!" he then ran back. "I understood Shakespeare!"
Bobbi didn't look all that impressed. "Yeah, there was a modern translation right next to it."
"You and I both know I barely read that."
"But you evidently read enough to understand it?"
"It's hard to explain, but it's true. I had this dream-"
"Let me guess," she proceeded to mock Dorothy Gale, "'and you were there'."
"Yes! Yes, you were! We all were! It was like a movie in my head except it wasn't!"
Bobbi flashed him an uncertain look. "Hunter, do you ever listen to yourself?"
"It was that Shakespeare story you made me with with us as the characters."
"Oh," Bobbi couldn't help but be a little curious, "who was I?'
"The leading lady."
"I was Beatrice?"
"Yes."
Bobbi groaned. "Oh God, don't tell me you were Benedick," Hunter snickered at that name. "Honestly Hunter, grow up."
"Yes, you were Beatrice, I was...the guy who ends up with Beatrice. Coulson was like the King, Trip was the prince-"
"Trip?"
"Yeah, he was the prince."
"Good call there. However, there was no king in Much Ado About Nothing."
"Well Coulson was the dad."
"Who's dad? Beatrice's dad or Hero's dad?"
"Beatrice had a dad?"
"Yes, it was Antonio, Leonato's brother."
"I honestly have no idea who those people are."
"So helpful."
"The dad who's daughter was getting married to that one guy."
"I'm guessing Coulson was Leonato then. Okay, who was the villain?"
"John Garrett. You remember; we met him once before the whole Hydra takeover."
"Never liked him then, hated him even more after that. I figured the bad guy would be Ward though."
"Ward was a bad guy."
"Totally understandable. So was Mack like Dogberry, because I could not see that happening?" Hunter gave her a blank stare. "Was Mack the stupid cop?"
"No, Mack was the friar. The Koenig Clones were the inept security."
"Makes sense. So, were FitzSimmons the other lovers?"
"Naturally."
"How could they not be?"
"Daisy and May were in there too."
"As Margaret and Ursula?"
"Again, I have no idea who-"
"Never mind." Bobbi smiled at him. "Well, it seems as though our own Lance Hunter understood something he read."
"Truth be told, that always happened when I read. I'd read, get bored and skim through it, and later, I understood what I read." Hunter made some sort of noise. "God, that hasn't happened in a long while. It's probably why I stopped reading."
"See, reading can be a good thing." She started to go.
"Bobbi, wait!" Bobbi turned to face him. "I was thinking maybe you and I could…hang out or…maybe we could do something that doesn't involve reading."
"Sure, that'd be great."
"Great." They smiled at each other before parting ways.
…
Coulson had both of his eyes on the TV carefully examining what was on it. "No, I just don't see it."
"Come on!" Daisy stretched her arms to the screen. "That guy looks exactly like you!"
"No, he doesn't."
"What? Have you-" she growled, "-this guy is like your doppelganger!"
"Let it go, Daisy."
"Ugh, I never should have brought up that movie yesterday. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here convincing you that this is like your alternate reality clone!"
"You're right."
"I am?"
"You shouldn't have brought up that movie yesterday. Next time, might I suggest you just read the book?"
I wasn't really sure how to end it, that's why this was kinda delayed. But it's ended, and I'm glad it is. Thanks for sticking with me guys, peace out!
