[Ward's throat still feels like shit and a half, but he's managed to process the following. He's no longer in jail (that's a plus), he's got super powers (he's unsure if that's a plus or minus) but he arrived and avoided the network for a few days out of fear of breaking the damn thing. He's decided long since then that he can't let Skye intimidate him.

She's here. And she's been here for awhile. She has home team advantage.

The only problem is they have a record of him. This whole registering thing was crap - what was the point of being given a second chance if he really couldn't leave Grant Ward behind? For the first time he wants to.

So time to test the waters. He's been to the ceremony, he's been sworn in, he's had a dramatic reunion with the woman he'd thought he cared about.]

New arrival here. Roomba salesman and repairman. Anybody else get a completely shit job? I know nothing about Roomba's.

Assuming Roombas here are the vaccuum robots. Y/N?

Also feel like shooting myself in the foot here, but is there some kind of a "so now you have super abilities" support group? Any help or advice appreciated.

[Reading over it two or three times he nods, satisfied that it's not incriminating, that it's blaise enough that even if people decide to ask him questions he can think up enough to talk about without screwing up.

He'd been in worse situations.

His roommates might have noticed that his doorknob on the outside was significantly bent and someone has been closing doors in their apartment very, very quietly.]

My name is Grant.

[Hates himself]

She's out of her mind. I was just asking a simple question

[vaccination]

that is exactly what a psychopath would say
and yeah u toooootally dont know her sure

[hydraated]

Do you know a lot of psychopaths little girl?

[hostage]

How about you back the fuck off right now

[hydraated]

And you are?

[hostage]

A problem for you if you're gonna turn this into an episode of To Catch a Predator

[hydraated]

[Wow. Now he's offended]

Ask a simple question. Good luck catching me if that were the case but since it's not.

I'm a lot of things but I don't do that

[hostage]

Then stick to messing with the grownups Adolf

[hydraated]

...I'm not a nazi.

[Ward isn't stupid. He puts two and two together fast. Only one person knows that. Only one person could have told him this. Put two and two together and then...

There's a cold feeling in his gut that he shoves away. Hard.]

She doesn't know what she's talking about when she tries to understand big things. You'll have to watch out for that.

[vaccination]

knew
guess what happened 2 them

[hydraated]

Go away and don't taunt people who can hurt you if they put their mind to it

[vaccination]

fuck you

[She spelled out you. Feel special.]

[valr]

Touch her and I will debone you while you're still alive.

[hydraated]

Not the first threat.

Not the worst threat

[valr]

I grew up with Vikings and lived through Medieval Europe, that'd just be a warm up.

[vaccination]

hi kara
do dicks have bones

[valr]

No, but you can break them.

[vaccination]

but how will he sell roombas

[hackitude]

AAaaaaaaaaaand there we go. I knew it wouldn't take long for you to show your true colors! Thanks, Ward, for helping me prove my point.

[hydraated]

I'm starting to get annoyed Skye. Tell them to back off. All I did was ask a simple. question.

[hackitude]

Yeah, and THEN you threatened her. A fifteen year old girl. REAL NICE.

Private

[hydraated]

[He's tired. He's angry, was he asking for help or asking for this?

You should have stayed off the network. And it's Garrett's voice Shouldn't you kid. Isolation's fine. Gives you a chance to heal, to gather your strength, now she's painting you as some kind of a rat bastard. It's true of course but hey.

He bares his teeth, fist clenching. There's a buildup of lightning in his fist. He lets it hang at his side.]

I won't hurt you Skye.

no. I'll find every single one of these bastards and rip out their spines..wphopgpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

[Squeeze the phone too hard and the button's stuck. Great.]

I'll tie you up and make you watch.

[shittybirthday]

[ Honestly, Joel wasn't going to pay any attention to this guy's announcement to the network. That is, until he saw all of this.

This comment in particular.

Doesn't matter that others have already jumped in, there's no way in hell Joel is going to let this go. ]

back the hell off

[hydraated]

I'm the one being ganged uppppp -on here.

Tell her/them/they to back off.

[He really wouldn't hurt a kid. Not even for Garrett.]

[shittybirthday]
