Agent Avery Hoffman is a Level Six S.H.I.E.L.D. operative working deep undercover within the Rising Tide. Planted in 2011, her mission is simple: gather intel and report back-no attachments, no mistakes. Two years later, everything gets complicated. While working alongside Skye, a talented Rising Tide hacker Avery befriended under false pretenses, they witness a mysterious hooded man save a woman's life. Curiosity gets the better of them, and they follow him-only to find themselves on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar not long after. Back in the field, Avery is partnered with Agent Grant Ward-her best friend, her equal, and the one person who understands her better than anyone else. They work seamlessly together, their trust unshakable. But beneath the surface, unspoken feelings linger. Grant has fallen for Avery, though he's never admitted it-and Avery, despite her guarded nature, feels the same. As loyalties blur and secrets unravel, Avery is forced to confront the life she's built undercover... and the truth about where her allegiance really lies.

The Battle of New York didn't just bring the Avengers to the world; it brought a legacy from the stars to three lost siblings. Skye spent her life searching for her family, only to find them amidst the rubble of a Chitauri invasion. But fate had more than a reunion in store. Her brother, Nate, becomes the wielder of the Omnitrix, the most powerful device in the galaxy, guided by an AI named OA. Her sister, Nia, returns from the grip of death with the power to command shadows. Joined by Phil Coulson's team, they must navigate a world of spies, Inhumans, and ancient secrets. But the transformation isn't over yet. As the Terrigen Mists roll in, Grant Ward will be forged into something else entirely-an immortal force of vengeance known as Hellfire. With their grandfather Azmuth watching from the shadows and threats rising from Hive to the Kree, this isn't just a team. It's a family. And they are the shield that protects the world from what falls from the sky. "The watch was just the beginning. The bloodline is the key."

You once trusted Agent Grant Ward....loved him even. But, he's a traitor. Hydra. He played you and the rest of the team. And now, you must confront him....

I met him at the café I worked at, he was on the run I would later figured out. Even then just meeting him I could tell he had been through hell and back, probably done some questionable things, but now he was alone, trying to pick up the pieces and I wanted nothing more than to help. I soon learned all what had happened, all the things he had done, the people he had hurt... and killed. He was broken and dangerous and had nothing left to lose until he met me, then all we had were each other and we were never letting go and that was more dangerous then anything. This is our story, the story of how I came to love Grant Ward.

(This is a Ward redemption au and everything that happened in season 3 with Ward when he was hive, never actually happens) Ward never dies in season 3 and he never becomes Hive. Coulson tries to kill him but he failed, instead he accidentally kills Lincoln and Lincoln becomes Hive and he infects Daisy. Once daisy is free from Lincoln's infection, she goes rouge because she's afraid she'll hurt people at S.H.I.E.L.D. While on the run, she goes to Ward for help.
