Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D: United at Last

Chapter 5

THREE HOURS LATER

Suddenly the screen went clear again and I could see Coulson sitting on the chair, "How long have you been there?" I asked him.

"The whole time. I was watching you on this." And he showed me the console that had a live feed of the CCTV camera on it.

"So you where spying on me. Classic spy move cause it's in the word........Doesn't matter." I started to say but stopped because he wasn't getting the joke.

"Not spying, just seeing if there was any unusual activity."

"Like what?" I asked him.

"Like running at walls, trying to break out, anything like that." He explains to me.

"Did May say anything about Grant?" I asked wondering what his answer would be.

"Yes she did." He answered.

"Well?" I asked him. This time I just starred at him. Instead of answering me he just got up and walked away. The screen went blank again.

It was another hour or so before they came back. Standing I front of me was Grant when the screen became clear again. We just stared at each other. He looked scruffy and was dressed like me. A grey prison t-shirt and trousers with a number on them and no shoes on his feet. They opened the prison cell, took his handcuffs off and chucked him in with me. Once he was in they blanked the screen again. We where left, face to face. I sat down on my bed again and waited to see if he said anything. He didn't speak a word.

I decided to speak first, "Hi." He just looked at me weirdly, "What?! I didn't know what else to say!"

"Hi." He said to me, "It's good to see you again. Wish we weren't here though."

"Why?" I asked him.

"You may think they're away but they really aren't." He replied and pointed to a small dot in the top left hand corner of the cell, "They can here everything were saying. Isn't that right Coulson, Skye, May." He said to the camera.

Coulson, Skye and May looked at each other. They where in a different room but somehow, Grant managed to know they where watching.

"May said you worked for Hydra. Is that right?" I asked him.

"I wasn't loyal to Hydra, I was loyal to........"

I didn't let him finish speaking because I knew what he was going to say, "Garett. I know. I wasn't asking if you where loyal to him. Being loyal is different. I was asking if you worked for Hydra in some way or form. That means if Garett worked for Hydra, then you did too. I'll ask you again. Did you work for Hydra?"

After a long pause, he finally owned up, "Yes. Yes I did. You should have been with me as well but Garett thought you where too weak."

"Well that's a nice thought." I said back.

"He didn't know that you where capable of what you did with Thomas, or that you must have done something to get in here." He looked at me in a way he used to, "Because of Garett I changed. I can change again for you." He leaned in and kissed me on the cheek.

"No you can't." I said and I got off my bed and walked over to the screen, "You'll never be like what you where. You where kind, gentle and loving. After..." I was pausing, remembering what had happened, "After the fire, you changed. I could see it. I was there when Garett picked you up. I was the one he tossed away to go to you."

"But I can! I promise. Have I ever broken a promise?" He said to me, "Have I?"

"Yes. One to me after the fire. You said you would see me soon. You would come and get me. You never did."

At that point the screen revealed Coulson, Skye and May standing watching us. Grant and I looked at each other.
