Grant missed Garrett. In darkness, in complete solitary a person spent a lot of time thinking. Infact all they could do was think, while fighting the bouts of madness. And he came with the realisation that he truly missed Garrett.
Garrett would never had left him here to rot. it didn't matter if it was Shield that captured him or Hydra. Garrett would have found a way to rescue him. He always protected him. The only one who protected him.
Outsiders if made aware of his past would have said mind control. Stockholm syndrome. Cult follower. Of course you care for him, he freed you from prison and left you alone in the woods for 5 years being the only human you saw. Poor boy.
But they didn't understand. They would never understand the peace it felt at having someone protect him, especially after the horrors of his childhood. Sure Garrett used him for survival, but he had used Garret for the same thing. They both took care of each other. The world be damned.
And now he was gone. And the darkness, the confinement and the isolation was all that was left. The human mind no matter how strong was not built for this degree of torture. And it was torture, worse than the physical could ever be.
He was grateful that he had information for Shield, it was a bargaining chip. But he also knew that the information was not limitless. Once Shield had the information he would spend the rest of his life in this hell. So he tried to hold on to it like a mizer with his Gold. The information though was much more precious.
After the woods he had forgotten many things. He had forgotten how to communicate with others, he would sometimes Grunt like he was with Buddy. And the people, so many people. And he had forgotten small unimportant things as well. He remembered Garrett taking him to a donut shop, and he could not stop eating. Carbs were AMAZING. He had puked and puked and puked. But still he could not have stopped eating the donuts. Garrett had looked after him like he always did
He wondered what Skye was doing. Was she eating Donuts?
He missed donuts a lot. But he missed being protected even more.
In the darkness a voice whispered… 'Its not a weakness is it'
Grant replied 'Endgame. Day 1'
