I sit at my table (Big dark love)
[Once upon a time Grant Ward was -
No. Start again.
Once upon a time there was a man. He wasn't a good man or a bad man, and in a world where gods wield weapons and beings from the stars make monsters he was a man who ended up trying to find his place in the world at the point of a gun instead of safety. You warp something enough it stays broken.
That doesn't mean it doesn't still work.
The scene's set. It's dramatic and terrible and terrific-
There's gunfire and the sound of something exploding in the distance. It's not really something that Coulson wants to see. It's not something that anyone wants to see really because he's frozen to the spot and something hitches in his chest and stomach and bones, his very atoms.
Skye looks terrified. Her new collected playmate (what did he call himself? Who he hell cared?) looks horrified. There's a word bandied - "Terragenesis" "weaponized terragenesis" and Ward realizes he's not the only one. There's a woman across the street blonde hair flapping in the breeze who's mouth is open in a silent scream, there's a fat man across the street who's fallen to his knees and time moves slow...
But it doesn't. Not really because he's seeing Skye but he's not really seeing her. There's her and Coulson and Garrett and they all fade in and out of reality before she stares at him - everything muffled.
You have passion Grant Ward.
"...That's what I keep telling people."
The not!Skye laughed aloud, Passion's dangerous. It can burn people if it's not used properly but you know about that don't you.
"Loyalty's worse."
You could be loyal. That's the trick to it." The not!skye shrugs her slim shoulders, "She's grounded in reality, you go everywhere and hurt everything you touch - but fire's when the newest growth happens in a forest. It keeps people warm. It can protect. It can save.
"I can save myself."
That's what every character thinks until they turn the page.
The world drowns in fire and he screams just in time for something to burn away in his vision and Coulson to point the gun at him, eyes wide before fire flares out from him - from his hands.
Coulson has his hands full with the fat man who's suddenly all weight - literally a human blob - and the blonde woman who's sprouted angel wings and is screaming, trying to tear the feathers off with her fingers like pulling out strands of hair.
He and Skye lock eyes as he bolts. There's no trust to this and soon it's everywhere Massive Evolutionary Event. NuHumans, rumors of alien experimentation, what is SHIELD hiding? We must have control.
It's 33 that really helps him, 33 that finds him, that makes him practice, that makes him try and practice those abilities. It takes some robbery but she can be any person she wants to be and he...well. He can light fires. He can spread fire too across weapons and some days it feels like it's burning (she says he's hot. That he's warm, that he's constantly burning.)
So he's inhuman. Ironic.
That's maybe what makes him seek out Skye. 33 is investigating rumors of magical artifacts the first time he tries to find Skye and show her the things that he can do now. Sure it's not magical electroshock waves but she's never been a girl for boys, she's a girl for men. He knows that.
In this case however he has to wonder if he'll run into lincoln as he picks the lock on her door and lets himself into her apartment waiting for either her to show up in the area or for her to appear behind him at the door gun drawn.
Either way he's got a manila folder in his hands.]
Someone order HYDRA intel?
No. Start again.
