Chapter 9: 9. Fitz's Hypothesis
"Because all of that he did to me was to get rid of my weaknesses Fitz, if I had weaknesses then I would be a useless person and Garret didn't needed a useless person with him he needed someone strong who could help him," Grant said, "He was the first person in my life other than my Gramsy who helped me Fitz and then he trained me for 5 years how can I not be loyal to him"
"Ward you are sick!" Fitz said without stuttering once again, if he wasn't so focused he would have found out that during this conversation with Ward his stuttering had decreased a lot.
"Ok, I deserved that," Grant said when he heard what Fitz said then looked at him and asked, "So did you forgive me!?"
"Huh!" exclaimed Fitz said.
"You said you would forgive me if I can correctly guess about your injury and then you asked me the reason for knowing it saying that it was the way to earn your forgiveness, so do you forgive me," asked Grant
Fitz was stumped he did say that he would forgive Ward if he correctly guessed his injury and answered his question but he never thought that Grant would do any of them and he wasn't ready to forgive him right now.
"No! I can't-I can't right now but I am willing to give you a chance" said Fitz as he looked at Ward who was smiling after hearing his words.
"That's more than I could have ever hoped for," said Grant while smiling.
Fitz didn't say anything else and changed the Inertial Confinement Laser Barrier to Opaque and soundproof once again.
Climbing up the stairs Fitz looked at the Inertial Confinement Laser Barrier once again before walking upstairs.
Just as he opened the door of Vault D he saw Coulson along with May waiting there for him.
"Fitz! Are you alright!?" asked Coulson
"Yes-Yea, thank you, Director, I really-really needed that talk with him," said Fitz.
"It's alright Fitz I am happy that I could be of help to you," said Coulson as he clasped Fitz's shoulder.
"Then I - I would be ex..... um.....excusing myself," said Fitz looking towards May and Coulson.
May and Coulson looked at each other, signaling each other with their eyes then gave the way to Fitz to let him walk away.
"He wasn't having that much problem when he talked with Ward," Coulson said as he looked at the door of Vault D.
"I noticed, do you think he is playing with Fitz's emotions by making up that story of his time with Garret," May asked.
"Maybe! maybe not! Though Garret indeed liked to talk about different ways to injure someone. He must have done his research when he tried to save himself and seeing how cruel can be he may have done what Ward said but it's not something we should care about let's go I want to know what Ward has on Daniel Whitehall" said Coulson opening the door of Vault D and entered with May following right behind him.
Ward had just say on his bed when he sensed Coulson and May entering the Vault D, so he stood up once again to greet his jailors.
Coulson turned the Inertial Confinement Laser Barrier to transparent again and Soundproof was taken down as well.
"Coulson, May, you here for the information I promised," Grant asked.
"Yes, but before that, I want to ask you something else, and it's not related to Hydra," said Coulson
Grant was silent and didn't know what to say to Coulson's inquiry so he signaled him to ask his question.
"What is it that you were trying to do with Fitz!?" asked Coulson hearing which May who was standing beside him was now staring at him because just a few minutes he said that it doesn't matter and now here he was showing his care for Fitz.
"Nothing, all I did was answer Fitz's question one by one and all I did was tell the truth," Grant said.
"So you weren't trying to manipulate Fitz into feeling sorry for you and I don't help you out of this situation," Coulson asked.
"Please Coulson, the mist- the crimes I have committed are enough for a court to give me a death sentence at least twice. I don't deserve a second chance I know that you know that and everyone in your team knows that as well, so don't worry I don't think Fitz would do anything that you won't approve of." Grant said as he sat on his bed seeing that they would be talking for some time.
Coulson heard Ward's answer but somehow he didn't like it, he didn't know what the feeling was but he felt that what Ward said there was something wrong with it.
Seeing that Coulson wasn't going to ask what they came here for, May decided it was up to her to ask that question, "Last time you said that Garret hated Whitehall because he got what Garret was searching his whole life, Explain!?"
Grant turned his head towards May when he heard the question and nodded his head and started explaining, "We'll as you know In 1990, Garrett was sent on a mission to Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, where he was wounded by an improvised explosive device that left him with critical injuries. After that, he turned and joined Hydra to find a cure for himself and had to turn himself into a Deathlock to survive but it wasn't good enough so as he raised in the ranks within SHIELD and Hydra, he started to look for something like a permanent cure but there wasn't anything that could help him until he heard about Daniel Whitehall, most of the Hydra head knew it so Garret found out as well that when Whitehall was going to die of old age he found a particular enhanced person who didn't grow old and had most likely had some sort of self-healing so experimented on that person took out all of his organs that he could and then inserted them in himself and regained his youth"
"No! That person what happened to that person!?" asked Coulson.
"Wait!" Said May as she grabbed Coulson's shoulder then looked at Ward and asked, "You can't believe that we will take your word for it right Ward, regaining youth after taking an enhanced person's organs!?"
"Well if you want proof then you will have to search for yourself just like I did when I found out about this news!" Grant said
"What do you mean!?"
