The next day Skye walked in the office. 'Hey DC, hows everything'

Coulson quickly turned off the computer. An action that had Skye raising her eyebrows

'You know I can hack that right'

'You wont do that Skye, because I am asking you not to'

'Ooh now thats just playing dirty. Anyway just wanted to ask how is the scumbags retreat going. Has he betrayed us to HYDRA yet.'

'You know Skye if I didn't know you better I would think this was your way of asking how Agent Ward is'

'Agent Ward. That Natzi piece of scum was never an agent, and never will be again'

'Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you don't care about him at all. Maybe you're not saying these things because you don't want to get hurt. But if I'm not wrong Skye, if you do care about him. Tell me. I'll give you Agent Wards secret. You will finally understand the man. But only if you ready and willing to forgive him'

Skye had a gleam in her eye as if she had been dying from thirst and Coulson had handed her a glass of water

And then a change occurred. Skye shrugged her shoulders and said 'There is only thing I want to understand about Ward and that is why he doesn't have the decency to find more paper, or a button, or run faster'

'You don't mean that Skye'

'Yes I do' And Skye walked out of the door. Slamming the door

Coulson stared at the window in the office with regret. He wondered when Skye would accept the inevitable truth. And how long it would take her to stop blaming herself. Because she would. once she saw and heard the recording. She would hate Garret, she would hate Ward for still being loyal to him. Most of all though she would hate herself for not seeing what was infront of their eyes. How truly broken Grant was. He knew he hated himself at this moment.

OK, first order of business, move Wards room from that small room to. Coulson smiled. He would switch Wards room with Hunters. Frankly he had had enough of Ward being bullied by that arrogant prick. If anybody was going to hurt Ward and it was a big if. It was going to be him, or Fitz or Simmons or Skye or May. Nobody else. And if they tried. Well Coulson may not be a field agent, but he could sure as damned kick ass if needed

There would come a time when HYDRA was defeated and when that time came Ward would want to live. That was a promise
