WHO: Billy Koenig & Grant Ward (with special guest appearance by Melinda May)
WHAT: My name is Billy Koenig. You killed my brother. Prepared to die.
WHEN: July 18th
WHERE: The Playground; Ward's Cell
RATING: PG-13
STATUS: COMPLETE
Ward hadn't slept under his own power since well before he'd left the Bus. The Berserker Staff, Lorelei, Skye, nightmares hadn't been rare during his stay with the team. Add everything else that had happened onto that and leave him to stew with his thoughts, and sleep had more often than not translated into passing out when his body finally decided to give up to the point that the horrors that surfaced behind his eyelids were muted and shallow. That didn't mean that were gone entirely, though. The shadows still eked in around the edges. Things he'd lost. Things he'd done. Things he'd had to endure. The worst ones involved John, the Playground, and his cell door behind cracked open only to step out to the other man in full Deathlok armor and the remains of the team scattered about the halls.
It was that, in fact, which pulled Ward violently out of the small amount of sleep he'd gotten only to have the dream horror be replaced by a secondary sudden shock. Normally, when he awoke, the cells was achingly empty, a reminder of the reality that he was now settled into. But this time when he opened his eyes, he'd thought for a second that one of his nightmares had come alive. Eric, standing there in front of him, angry and accusing.
It was only when his sleep addled brain caught up with his sudden paranoia that he remembered. Billy, not Eric.
Not that he was sure that was any better.
