Stand With Ward

Chapter 4 Wasn't Personal

MIAS POV

"5 more hours till midnight." I say as I glance to my watch.

"Can I ask you a question?" He says as he trys to start a fire.

"Sure."

"Did Sk- Agent Skye tell you those things about me?" He asks.

"No..... She thinks your dead." I respond.

He glances to the fire hes started.

"How did you know about me then?" He asks.

"Its complicated." I say, not wanting to go further in the conversation.

He notices and stays quiet.

It was now 11:30.

"Lets start heading towards the location." I say.

He nods.

We start walking and he stays closely behind me. Shit, he was trying to attack.

"Sorry for this, you seem like a decent person." He says.

I turn around and block his punch.

We fight for 1 minute or so until he has me on the ground.

"Sorry, it wasnt personal."

Did he really just freaking say that?

I had a plan, so I proceeded to let him hand cuff me.

He put a gun to my head.

"Dammit." I say.

"Why dont you lead me to the location." Ward says.

"Do I have a choice?" I respond, sarcastically.

He removes all my weapons.

"Start walking." He demands.

How the hell do I still have feelings for him? He can kill anyone and I still will have feelings for him.... Maybe I'm the crazy one!

He got all my weapons except for my knife. Luckily, he tied my hands in the back of me, and it was in my back pocket. We were a minute or two from the location, so I had to act fast.

I had the get out of these hand cuffs, I had to break my thumb.

I took a deep breath and did it. I then reached for my knife.

I quickly stabbed him in the side of his stomach.

"Wasnt personal." I mumble.

He leans down in pain and I take the liberty to grab the gun and handcuff him.

He spits out blood.

"For a newbie your better than I thought." He chuckles.

"Damn right." I say.

I see the vechile pull up.

Director Coulson got out.

"Welcome back Ward."

They get him in the van.

"He has a stab wound, just so you know, well have to clean it when we get back." I say.

"Who stabbed him?" Coulson asks.

"Me." I say.

Coulson looks at me shocked but I keep staring straight, right at Ward.

Ward gets a bag over his head for security reasons and we start driving there.

"They all think hes dead, what are we supposed to do?" I ask.

"It will remain that way, and he will go on missions with only you." He responds.

"Missons?" I almost yell.

"Yes, we will have him doing field work, of course with a cuff." He says.

"Right...."

Great. Just fucking great. Im the only one who can do missions with him. So that means posing as a couple, seeing him all the time. How the hell am I supposed to not let my feelings get in front of missions?

Just my fucking luck.

They load him into the underground chamber we had secretly.

I went straight to my room and cleaned up the blood on my face.

"Happy birthday to me." I mumble to myself in the mirror.
