Prospective- William

Now back on the bus (plane) Riley and Skyler were very happy to see me. Skyler seemed to never want to leave my side. Later she took me to the containment cell onboard the plane. She opened the door and said "Go talk to my father, he...um...has an explanation that is owed to you. I had Riley do the same thing yesterday." Skyler said then walked out of the room.

I proceeded to sit in a chair a crossed from Grant Ward, Skyler's father, Hydra member, and SHIELD agent. He looked at me then opened his mouth to say something then closed it as if a fly were going into his mouth. "Sir," I started "Your daughter Skyler said that you owe me some kind of explanation?" I finished furrowing my brow.

"Ah, yes. Do you know who your father is?" Grant said with a smirk as if he knew something I didn't.

"Yes Sir, I do...his name is Oyzis the god of Pain." I said with sheer confidence.

Grant sat forward and said "Ah, I see that Hydra has been keeping tabs on the SHIELD's young recruits." with a smile on his face.

"Would you like to know who Skyler's mother is or do you know that, too?" He said.

I shook my head yes then said "I only learned of my father before I started to inflict pain upon one of SHIELD's agents who was forced to comply."

"Alright, Skyler's mother is a well known goddess by the name of, Athena." Grant said.

"She's...a daughter of...Athena." I stuttered.

"Yes she is, and I don't think that she would like a son of Oyzis falling all over her daughter." Grant said.

"I-I don-don't fall all over Skyler." I said in shock that he would say such a thing.

"Well I know that she falls all over you. She's always tripping over herself when ever your around?" he asked.

"Y-Yes sir, she does." I said.

"Ok, so what did you say to her all those years ago when I first said the I had a daughter?" he asked.

My nerves were building "I said that we would always find each other, but it was just something my mother would say to me when she left for a mission." I said now realizing that Skyler was in L- with me.

"All I ask is you stay away from my daughter." Grant said then gestured for me to leave.

I walked out of the containment cell, shutting the door behind me. I now knew more than I had ever known and more than I ever wanted to know. I walked into the 'Living Room' to find Skyler and Riley sitting there talking I walked by Skyler who looked up and reached for me, but I pulled away and ran to my bunk. I just sat there with all of this horrible pain of sadness, anger, and misery.

I thought that Skyler had knocked on my door so I said "Skyler I can't talk right now, okay." Riley walked in and said "Well, I'm not Skyler." I smiled and allowed her to sit next to me. "So, you here to talk some sense into me Riley?" I said. She smiled at me then said "Yes, you know Skyler likes you, right?" I shook my head yes then said "Skyler's father told me to stay away from her and I just...can't." I said tears forming in my eyes.
