35. Grant's Second Mission

"Call Fitz and Ward as well, their attendance will be needed for this one" Coulson ordered as one of the Agents acknowledged it.

In the briefing room Coulson explained the information he got from Jemma to the team, he had decided to bring Donnie before Hydra can get to him.

"What do you think Fitz? Which way should we approach him?" asked Coulson

"Donnie had problems making friends so it would be better if you talk with him rather than force him, he knew Jemma and me, so I could talk to him that we want to help"

""No"" said Skye and Grant at once making the others turn their heads towards them.

Seeing the eyes turning towards him Grant lowered his head knowing that since Skye had also said no means he won't have to say anything else.

After looking towards Ward for dew seconds, Skye turned her head to look towards Coulson and said "Fitz isn't even fully healed and even if he was we can't take him with us, he isn't a field Agent with Hydra Agents also looking for Donnie Gill, his life would be in danger as well."

"I know Skye, I wasn't going to let him go even if no one else raised their voice," Coulson said looking towards Skye then at Ward.

"Ward you also want to add something?" asks Coulson

Grant nodded his head and said "Hydra has a special protocol for the gifted,"

"And that is?" asks May

"It is recruiting or kill. This amorality is why HYDRA wins over gifted like the absorbing man. They also know about Donnie Gill may not personal but they know Fitz and Simmons were close to him and if he is seen anywhere close to the place Donnie Gill is they will eliminate him first so as to make it hard for us to convince him." Grant stated

"So Fitz can only stay here and talk with Donnie through our comms," Hunter said to which Grant nodded his head.

"Start searching for any anomalies in the weather we need to get to him before Hydra," Coulson said ending the briefing.

After the meeting, Coulson called May to her office to talk to her.

"I am thinking of sending Ward in this mission as well," Coulson said as he looked towards May ready to hear her reply.

"Is he not a flight risk?" asked May.

"He is, but until we don't do some test runs to see whether it will fly or crash" Coulson replied, "Moreover you and Skye will be there so I am sure you will be able to handle him if he creates any problem"

"Fine then I will take him with us if that's your decision," May said after that she left Coulson's office.

Simmons tries to make friends at the HYDRA Laboratories. Her boss says she is wanted upstairs for questioning on a security matter. Two men come to escort her up. She goes up an elevator and is lead to a conference room where Sunil Bakshi was waiting for her.

"You know Dr. Simmons we at Hydra don't like Liars," said Sunil Bakshi as he started to walk towards her.

"I am sorry but what have I led about?" asked Simmons feigning innocence.

Hearing that Sunil Bakshi starts to grill her, "You have lied to us Dr. Simmons, You hid the fact that you knew Project Blizzard it was your duty to inform your supervisor that you knew the subject of Project Blizzard."

Simmons covers by saying "I did not know who the subject was until yesterday. Moreover, we weren't that close I barely knew Gill and that two through someone else."

"Dr. Simmons let me ask you, Are you loyal to Hydra?" asked Sunil Bakshi

"I am loyal to Science, so as long as Hydra's vision matches up with Science then I am loyal to Hydra" replied Simmons.

After having his talk with Simmons, Bakshi doesn't to meet Whitehall. Whitehall was still continuing his brainwashing on Agent 33 when Bakshi came to ask him for help on a matter. But Whitehall just let Bakshi decide for himself as he trusts his decision.

Coulson and the team hear about the frozen ship in the sea. They prepare to leave on the Bus, Skye and Hunter are a little surprised that Coulson had decided to allow Ward to go with the team as well. Trip likely expected it as he didn't look that surprised but the most surprised of them all was Ward himself as he never thought that Coulson would let him back in the field so easily.

"Would you look at that, looks like you are back on the field. I didn't think Coulson would be so easily convinced, How did you do it?" joked Trip

"Hmm... I don't know, maybe I charmed him" replied Grant with a smirk.

"No, you didn't" came Coulson's reply as he entered the Bus walking past them towards the lounge making the two agents look towards each other and shrugged their shoulders.

While the field Agents go to retrieve Gill, Mack suggests that he and Fitz play Xbox with their free night, but Fitz is upset because he is not going on the mission even after Grant and Skye explained the reason to him.

With Hydra, Simmons' escorts bring her to a team gathered by Bakshi, who are going out to find Gill.

When the reach the reach around the area of the frozen ship the helicopter lands and from it comes out Bakshi followed by Simmons and a team of Hydra Agents.

On the Bus, Grant is constantly following Coulson to allow him to dive down as well instead of flying the Bus.

"Please Boss, let me go down as well. I will be more helpful to the team from there" Grant said

"It's already been decided Ward, the only reason I brought you here was that I thought three Agents may not be enough to get to Gill before Hydra but letting you in the field with Hydra Agent down there as well, what are the chances of you betraying us and helping them," Coulson said

"You know the chances are zero, I was never loyal to Hydra, I was loyal to Garret. And the reason of me wanting to go down as well is also known to you."
