Facing Your Past [Book 1]: A Grant Ward FanFic.

Chapter 14 - The drop

Ragtag.

After the shooting stopped Ward went back to the cockpit to check on Taylor. When he entered the cockpit, he had only one question on his mind.

"What happened? Who was shooting?" Taylor snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Oh yeah. It was Coulson." He started. "He got Skye and escaped in Lola."

"Without me?" Taylor thought out loud. Ward just nodded.

"It's fine though, I got what I wanted." He smirked. But little did Taylor know he wasn't talking about the hard drive. Taylor just rolled her eyes.

"And what was that exactly? The hard drive?" Taylor asked, only slightly toxic.

"No." This made Taylor confused. If it wasn't the hard drive he wanted, what was it?

"What was it then?"

"You." He said, plainly. Taylor rolled her eyes at this. "For someone with 3 PHDs you're kinda stupid, you know that?" He laughed.

"Well, I'm smarter than you think I am." She defended.

"Yeah?" He challenged. She just nodded. "Prove it." A wicked smile spread across her face as she bit her lip. She, slowly, rose from her seat, walked over to him and cupped his cheek, forcing him to look at her. She smashed her lips onto his. He grabbed a hold of her hips and forced her down onto his lap, not breaking the kiss. Her legs either side of his, she starts to grind on him. Making him groan into the kiss. He trails kisses down her neck, kissing and sucking anywhere he can until he finds her sweet spot and gently scrapes his teeth against her skin. She puts her hands in his hair, tugging it gently. He pulls on the hem of her shirt, but the door of the cockpit opens abruptly, it startles them both. Mike enters the cockpit.

"Garrett wants to hear from you." He pauses. "Both."

"Do you mind?" Ward replied.

"You heard what I said." He told them both and walked out again. As Taylor's about to get up, Ward forces her hips back down again.

"Grant." She warned. "We've got to go." He looked up at her.

"Join us." Is all he said. It's all he had to say to make Taylor run out of the cockpit and to her bunk. All while not breathing. As soon as her bunk door closed, she started to take very deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. She couldn't betray her team, but she also couldn't say no to him. She had a lot to think about.

-----<>-----

The plane had both landed and taken off again, at that time Taylor still hadn't made up her mind. She knew she had to decide quickly but something kept her. So, when in doubt, make a pros and cons list. So, that's exactly what she did. Her Cons consisted of:

She felt as if she'd be betraying Steve and Nat if she did.

Coulson has been like a dad to her.

The Red Room and HYDRA are practically the same thing.

What they did to Bucky.

And her Pros consisted of:

They gave her most of the powers that she can defend herself with.

Ward.

Leviathan.

Money.

She was running scenarios in her mind when a HYDRA agent slid her bunk door open and dragged her out and face to face with the clairvoyant.

"Garrett." She spat.

"Lee, I didn't know you had figured me out. When did you get so clever?" He asked in a kid voice.
