~Maddison's pov~

"Maddison and I could've crossed off that drug lord without getting our picture taken" Ward said to Garrett as he walked over to us with a drink

"One single shot, half a mile away" I finished

"You two are missing the point. I didn't want to just cross him off, I wanted to make a spectacle. People are killed by guns every day in Bogota" Garrett told us "But how often does a monster punch a drug lord's head clean off?" As Mike started to walk towards us "Hell, that's international news. Spectacular thing you did back there"

"Mikey. I if didn't know better, I'd swear you were starting to enjoy your job" And Garrett looked at me and Ward "You get the impression, he's enjoying his job?"

"Somebody does" Grant said, as i shook my head

"I'd like to think we all enjoy our work" Garrett replied "And why not? These are exciting times full of rewards. Which reminds me" and pulled out a phone and called someone

"Zeller, yeah, it's me. Stream Mike Peterson some video of his son this afternoon" He said and then hung up "Don't mention it" and we walked away "How about that guy? I've turned him into a new man"

"Is that what he is?" I asked

"Are you still sore about what he did to you?" He asked me

"No, I'm sore at you for making him do it" I replied annoyed

"Look, we're on the verge of completing something, I've been chasing for 25 years, can't you just be happy for me?" He asked and walked into the lab as me and Ward followed

"See, that's what I'm talking about. Happy campers" Garrett said looking at Riana

"I think you'll be happy, too. We're close to replicating the drug that healed Skye and brought Coulson back to life, and the data from Skye's hard drive, all that research? It's been a big help. I've uploaded everything to the lab in Cuba, they'll have initial results by the time we land" Riana told Garrett

"You never disappoint, do you, Flowers? Wish everyone on my team had the same success rate" Garrett said and walked away, I rolled my eyes

~Time Skip~

"You were gonna let her die!" Ward yelled to Garrett, well I was listening from outside the office

"Ok, first off, I think we should use our indoor voices" Garrett said calmly

"Since the day we met, we have done everything you asked" Grant told him

"I'm not sure we can say anything" Garrett replied

"You were gonna let Deathlok kill her to get that hard drive?" Ward asked him

"Come on, we all know the girl wasn't gonna let her die" Garrett answered, I rolled my eyes "You said yourself, Skye's a soft touch. Just like you"

"I am not that scared kid anymore" Ward said to him getting irritated

"Then stop acting like it. Stop being weak . All these years, and you're still playing the victim, sometimes i ask myself why i ever bothered-" Garrett started, I rolled my eyes and walked away

...

Ward and some of the men brought Fitz-Simmons into the plane as Garrett walked in "This is our plane. We want it back" Fitz told him

"Really? Just like that, kid?" Garrett asked "Coulson probably figured out we were using the barbershop. Call Kaminsky, He'll know what to do. All right, let's close up the ramp and get this bird off the ground" As i noticed Fitz had something in his hand "Tell the pilot to keep it low and in Harrier mode till we're out over the Gulf"

"Will do" I walked over to Fitz and grabbed his arm

"What's he got there?" Garrett asked, he opened his hand and there was a joy buzzer things

"One of those prank joy buzzers" I replied

"Yeah, you know me, always kidding around" He answered and he pressed the buzzer and the lights went out

"What the hell was that?" I asked

"An EMP" Garrett said weakly

"Looks like the joke's on you" He told him, I ran downstairs to the lab and over to one of the cabinets, as Riana was all ready in the lab

"Garrett's dying" I told her, grabbing one of the briefcases "Not sure this will work. Fitz shorted him out with an EMP, call Cybertek. Let them know what happened, see what they can do" grabbing one of the bag and ran back upstairs, and gave the stuff to Ward

"I'm glad that I did it. You hear me? You lose, we win" Fitz said to Garrett

"You're dead" Garrett told him

"No worse than you. And you two don't have to take orders from him anymore, Ward, Maddison. Let him die. He deserves to die" as Ward opened the briefcase

"Get them out of here!" I yelled to the two men, as the men pushed Fitz-Simmons out the room

"Clear! Everyone out!" Ward yelled, and the other agents walked out

A couple minutes later, Ward was setting up one of the machines when Riana walked in

"The internal battery must have fried" Ward told Garrett "We're gonna have to open it up. See if there's a mechanical fix"

"I talked to Cybertek" Riana told me, i turned to looked a ther "They're prepping a facility in Miami"

"Good" Garrett muttered weakly "I need you two to do something for me"

"Yeah, anything" Grant told him

"Put down Fitz and Simmons" I felt my stomach drop abit at what he said

"What. No. There's plenty of time. We're won't leave you" I told him

"And I'm telling you to cross them off for me" He told us again "It's not a weakness, is it?" Garrett asked Ward

"No" Ward answered firmly

"Then take care of them. I'll take care of me. I've cheated death plenty of times"

"I'll stay" Riana spoke up, Ward stood up from Garretts side and we walked away

~Time Skip~

I climbed down one of the ladders after hearing shouting, and the med plot was missing from the plane and Ward was standing there "Where's Fitz-Simmons?" I asked, he looked down into the ocean "You dropped them out of the plane? You know what he could have done, hid them on the plane and then let them escape"

"That wasn't the orders" He answered

"Screw the orders!" I yelled, Ward grabbed my arm and slammed me against the wall "Don't touch me"

"Maddison, remember compliance will be rewarded" He said and let go of me

"Сука" (Bitch) I said in Russian and walked away

Me and Ward walked back into where Garrett and Riana were and Garrett looked at us both "Is it done?" He asked, Ward nodded "If the job was easy-" until he started gasping, choking and shaking, finally he stopped and Ward bent down to him

"What are you feeling?" He asked Garrett

"...The universe" He answered, me and Grant like at each other confused
