You needed to clear your head today. It was rough as everybody you thought that they were your friends, had turned on you and started to bully you today. On top of that they told you that everything was a lie, and that nobody would ever be your friend. Well today was the day they verbalized it. You had known for a couple weeks now, but you began to act as well. You would hang out more, and do more things together, but that didn't change a thing. The only reason that you knew in advance was because you are a telepathic. Wandering aimlessly through the woods was helping in a way. Getting lost in your thoughts, you didn't see an exposed root and tripped on in and fell down the hill you were on; Hitting many rocks, branches, and eventually coming to a stop at the river bank. You tried to call out for help, but had hit your head pretty hard on a couple rocks coming down. You were being sucked into the darkness as you saw a boy, a little older than you, run over to you. He was pretty handsome too. That was you last thought as you let the darkness consume you.

"Wake up! Hey wake up!" Somebody was yelling and shaking you. You opened your eyes to find that same boy from down by the river, was over you and shaking you to wake up. It worked. "I thought you weren't going to wake up."

"Nah, I just thought that maybe if I took a nap. I could get away from all my troubles." You replied.

"Only if that were true."

"What's your name?" You asked already knowing that he was panicking, but his name was Grant.

"Grant Ward. Yours?"

"(Y/n) (l/n). So what brings you to this part of the woods Mr. Ward?"

"Well Miss. (L/n) I've been avoiding my troubles as well." Grant said as I tried to stand up. "Nope. You are staying right there."

"Why?"

"Because you need to let your body heal a little more before anything else." He said as you groaned.

"Then tell me the truth Grant. I know what your hiding."

"What? How?" He asked as a truck pulled up and a middle aged man came out of the driver's side.

"Who the hell is she?" The man also known as John Garret.

"I saw her fall down the hill, and she passed out. So I helped her."

"I told you to-" Garret said.

"Please don't hurt him, all he did was help me. All I need is a ride to SHIELD academy since I start in a day."

"You should know not to talk about SHIELD in public miss."

"(L/n). Well I know that you're a SHIELD agent John Garret. So I knew that I could tell you."

"Hop in. We'll join you in a couple minutes since that's where this boy's going to as well." He said as they talked and a dog hopped into the truck bed as well. A couple minutes later they got back and you sat between them on your way to SHEILD. You and Grant had gotten closer at your time at the academy, and he was selected to go on a special team and he left the Playground. You also had developed feelings for him over the past few years. He may have seem very closed off, but around you he was always open. He and a couple others knew that you were telepathic, but it stayed a secret, like many things in SHIELD. Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton were your only other friends here at SHIELD. Yesterday you even met Captain America! Coulson would be so proud of you for the fact that you kissed his cheek and made him blush, wait, Phil would've murdered you for that. But maybe you could add Steve to the list of your friends at SHIELD. Today was uneventful at the Playground and as you made your way back to your apartment, Garret and some other guys appeared right in front of you.

"Hi Garret. What's all of this for?" You asked.

"So naïve and yet so powerful Agent (L/n). Something that Hydra loves. Now you're coming with me one way or another."

"There is no way in hell that I'd ever work for Hydra!" You spat at him and one of the other men shot you with an ICER.

"What are you doing to (Y/n)!" Grant yelled as you were slipping out of consciousness.

"Grant....help me." You whispered. The last thing you saw was him running over to you.

"Once she wakes up, prep her." A man said as you felt a throbbing pain in your head. There was a reason that you hated getting ICED. It left you with a killer headache. Opening you eyes, you were greeted by a bright, blinding light, and a bloody version of the Hydra logo. Soon a two large men came in and unstrapped me from the chair I was tied to and led me down a hallway. I was brought to a different room and strapped to a machine. They almost had to ICE me again as I was not being very cooperative.

"The more you resist the more this is going to hurt." One of the guards you punched said. There was helmet type thing put on your head and a mouth guard inserted in your mouth as well. Before the switch was flipped gunshots were heard. "Turn it on. It's Ward, he's looking for her. Well, let's give her to him. She won't remember a damn thing." The machine was turned on and an electrical current was sent through your brain. You tried to fight it, but the more you did, the more you lost of the other memories. You gave up and succumbed to the pain. Not long after the pain ceased and a man was shaking your shoulders.

"(Y/n) can you hear me?" The man asked. He looked familiar, and a warm feeling inside you bubbled up to the surface. You knew it was love, but you didn't remember his name.

"Yes." You replied.

"What did they do to you?"

"All I remember was this helmet thingy and pain."

"Son of a bitch! Okay. Can you tell me what my name is and what yours is?"

"(Y/n) (L/n) is my name but I can't remember yours. All I know is that I love you, and I don't remember your name. It's killing me." You said as his face turned to an expression of shock.

"I love you too (Y/n). Plus my name is G-" He said as you remembered his name.

"Grant Douglas Ward. I would stop thinking of what you want us to do until we get back to SHIELD." He slammed his lips against yours in a heated and passionate kiss, spilling out all the hidden emotions over the years.

"I can't go back to SHIELD."

"Why?"

"Garret made me join Hydra as part of the deal to keep me out of jail."

"Grant, please if you just tell them that. They'll understand. We all do." You said as you kissed him and the two you you left the Hydra facility under the radar. You contacted SHIELD and when they tried to lock up Grant, you told them it was the both of you or neither of you. So of course they ICED you and locked Grant up. When you woke up, you saw Coulson and Skye.

"Why did you try to protect him?" Coulson asked bitterly.

"Because Garret's been manipulating him for a long time, and he joined Hydra against his will as a child!" You yelled at him.

"Are you sure that he wasn't just telling you lies?" Coulson asked. You gave him a look like 'are you shitting me? I'm a telepath'

"AC, she's telepathic remember? No matter how much I hate the guy. (Y/n)'s telling the truth." Skye said.

"Thanks Skye for reminding the old man. Plus, I ran into him before Garret picked him up to take him to SHIELD Academy. I trust him Phil. Always have and always will."

"This is just a test run Agent (L/n). If he does anything we don't like, he'll get locked up and tried."

"Can he stay in my room?"

"I don't think that's wise."

"I want to be there for him Phil. Please."

"You're not that cold AC are you?" Skye interrupted.

"Damn it Skye! Go and bother May or FitzSimmons, just not me!" Coulson snapped.

"Where's Ward's cell?" She said.

"Don't go near him." You growled at Skye.

"Okay, do you know where Tripp is?" Skye looked at Coulson.

"Just go already Skye!" He groaned.

"Grant better be in my room by the time I get there Coulson, or Lola gets it. Or I can always call Steve and tell him that you're alive and have been avoiding him..." You threatened.

"Fine. Just don't do anything to Lola!" Coulson screacked as you made your way to your room at the new SHIELD base. It wasn't hard to find your room, and you opened to door to find no Ward. You whipped out your phone and dialed Steve's number.

"Hey Steve." You said to Captain America. You had ran quite a few missions with him once Grant left for Coulson's team.

"Hi (Y/n), why did you call?" Steve replied worriedly.

"First off are you near the other Avengers?"

"Yes, why?"

"Put me on speaker."

"One second. Nat how do you put this thing on speaker?" There was rustling around and laughing as well. "Now its on speaker (Y/n)."

"Thanks Steve. You guys aren't going to believe this, but-"

"Agent (Y/n) here's Ward. Don't you dare touch Lola! Don't tell Stevie that I'm alive as well!" Coulson said breathlessly.

"Agent Coulson?" The Avengers said in disbelief.

"You're alive?" A chorus of disbeliefs was heard and Coulson was stuck explaining to the Avengers on how he's alive. They were not to happy about this secret. Once the call ended you kicked Coulson out to leave you and Grant alone. Before you could say anything, you felt a pair of soft lips on yours. You moaned into the kiss as your hands found their way into his hair, while his where rubbing circles on your hips.

"So what was this idea about touching Lola that Coulson was panicking about?" Ward asked you.

"Told him that I'd do something to Lola if you weren't in my room by the time I got back here. Also I just wanted you in my room Mr. Ward."

"Well well well Miss (L/n) how about we act out my ideas from earlier this morning?" He said and kissed you. Humming in response you both fell back on the bed, and didn't leave the room for the next few hours.
