past prologue.

WHO: Grant Ward & Lincoln Campbell
WHAT: They meet face to face and have a surprisingly candid conversation.
WHEN:
WHERE: Vault D
RATING: References to betrayal, grief, death, destruction, etc.
STATUS: log; complete.

( They don’t realize that they’re playing into all of the exact same tendencies they used to that made it so easy for HYDRA to hide within their midst. )

WHO: Grant Ward & Leo Fitz
WHAT: Ward's already been through a small parade of visitors, but Fitz is someone he never expected to come see him voluntarily.
WHEN:
WHERE: Vault D
RATING: PG
STATUS: Log; COMPLETE

( Honestly he was still relatively surprised that Jemma hadn’t made an appearance to undo all of the work that she’d put into sewing him up the first time he’d been here. He doubted her desire to see him dead had changed in the few weeks that it had been since her last attempt. And it probably wouldn’t be hard for her to disable the camera either. )

WHO: Grant Ward & Skye
WHAT: Skye stops in to have a little chat with Ward. As per usual, heads end up butted.
WHEN:
WHERE: Vault D
RATING: PG
STATUS: Log; COMPLETE

( They all had, in the worst ways, and it was disheartening to see these people that he loved so fragmented, broken, and hard. Particularly knowing he was at least partly to blame. )

WHO: Grant Ward & Bobbi Morse
WHAT: Initial interrogations w/ their favorite repeat intake.
WHEN: Not long after Ward's capture
WHERE: The Playground; Interrogation Room
RATING: PG
STATUS: Log; COMPLETE

( When he’d said that they were alike, he’d meant it. He’d meant it in all of the very worst ways. They knew exactly what it meant to play with the lives of others in order to get the results they wanted. So he had absolutely no illusions about what this interrogation was going to consist of. )

WHO: Grant Ward & crew vs. SHIELD & CO (Skye, Lincoln, Bobbi, May, & Sharon) w/ special appearances by NPC Hunter & Coulson
WHAT: SHIELD complicates the HYDRA raid on a CIA blacksite. Part 2 of this
WHEN: July 4, 2015; late afternooon (backdated)
WHERE: Ontario, Canada
RATING: PG-13
STATUS: Log; COMPLETE

( Maybe this was what he should have been doing all along. It seemed to be going -far- better so far than trying to help people had. )

WHO: Grant Ward & CO
WHAT: Ward and his team raid a CIA detention facility that houses HYDRA prisoners. After all, there's only so much that four people can do without proper back-up.
WHEN: July 4th; midafternoon
WHERE: CIA Blacksite; Ontario, Canada
RATING: PG-13
STATUS: Narrative; OPEN to IC/OOC responses from SHIELD notified about the break-in.

( With any luck, they could get everyone and get underway before the agents stationed here could call in the cavalry to deal with them. )

Who: Karla Sofen, Wade Wilson, Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz, Skye, Grant Ward, Antoine Triplett, Lance Hunter (!!), Sharon Carter, Raina, and a few HYDRA mooks
What: HYDRA wants the Obelisk and they won't stop at much to get it
When: Now? Now!
Where: Classified airspace
Warnings: Superheroic violence, Wade's mouth.
Notes:: We have two adjacent logs in the works that run parallel to this that will be -- hopefully -- soon to follow, including Sharon Carter v. Karla and Wade v. May. Stay tuuuuuned! :D
___

( The moment the alarms went off, Phil Coulson was in motion. )

WHO: Grant Ward & Karla Sofen
WHAT: Long overdue therapy session for the emotionally damaged traitor.
WHEN: backdated to before the holidays
WHERE: Karla's office
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress

( Ward wasn't particularly looking forward to this. )

[PRIVATE]

Reasons to stay in SHIELD

Fighting the 'good' fight

Family, people I love, people that need me

Structure, purpose

Reasons to run away forever

Coulson goes batty, and yet I'm the one who gets the shackles

It's my dad. I wanted to see.

There is absolutely zero percent trust in me or my abilities

Running is easy. I know how to run.

[SAM]

I'm going to get you a really ugly sweater for Christmas.

[WARD]

So, living in this place and having everybody not trust you. That's interesting.

[TONY]

Best couch ever.

[ Daisy Johnson ]

Just think of me as the eye in the sky.

Raina's got multiple options, but if Skye was willing to go with her so easily, without any prep, I would be willing to bet that she's still local. No further than Jersey. We'd be best to start in Manhattan and sweep outward from the Tower.

I'll use the data May's gathered to narrow down the search pattern.

Director Coulson will remain on Floor 60 until further notice. Access permitted on a case-by-case basis.

Agents Morse and Simmons will continue to monitor the Director's medical status.

All queries should be directed to me until further notice.

[Simmons & Morse]

Stat report? I've uploaded the AV from the recording devices in Coulson's effects as well as the Cafe's security feeds.

[Carter & Trip]

Thanks.

I need you two to review the footage from the cafe and ID Latte Girl. Apparently a round to the chest didn't seem to put a dent in her.

We need a better code name than Latte Girl.

[Ward]

I need your help. Skye is MIA. I think she went with Raina to meet her father.

[Daisy]

Bored? I could use your help.

[Fitz]

How are things?

[Stephen Strange]

I need help, Doctor.

[ Fitz ]

So. Bit of an odd request. I'm not really allowed out of the Tower at the moment. What with me being a fugitive and a major political risk to all of you.

Do you think you could walk Angel for me? She doesn't have to go far, and it'll probably be good for both of you.

[FILTERED TO TOWER RESIDENTS]
I'm Jessica.

I don't know how long I'll be here but I'll try to keep out of the way.


[Filtered to Carol]
Hey, going to be out of my apartment for a while. Taking care of somethings. if you need me, I'm still around.

[Fury]

So.

[Ward]

I need everything you can tell me about Garrett's demise.

I assume Tony communicated the change in your liberties.

[Raina]

Talk.

First of all, I just want to say that our hearts and prayers go out to the lives lost in New Mexico. Rest assured, this attack will not go unanswered.

Stark Enterprises is happy to cooperate with all congressional inquiries. It is, after all, the people for whom we work, and we all know the U.S. Congress has only the people's best interests at heart.

[Jan]
Saw the news. I'm sorry. I'm doing everything I can to follow up, but for a bunch of weed-smoking, prostitution-loving bicyclers, Amsterdam police are amazingly hard to work with.

[Avengers]
Don't worry about this government thing. It will blow over.

[Pepper]
Not too late to make a run for the border. Just sayin'.

Added later...

[Ward]
The good news: I've put a thousand books on your tablet for free.

The bad news: You're stuck indoors. No more dog-walking.

[Coulson]

Benching Ward. He cannot be seen in light of all the renewed scrutiny. It may be a good idea to turn those HYDRA prisoners over to the proper authorities now. It's not like we can keep them here indefinitely, Agent.

[Ward]

Remember when we'd get sidelined after a mission went pear-shaped and the only way to get back into the field was via professional assessment? Remember how much everyone hated those?

Dog's cute, but it's time.

Stark Industries has no comment regarding the statement made by Major General Forrest, other than to suggest that the comments regarding our sister organization - Stark Global Securites - are baseless and categorically false. If Major General Forrest would like a tour of our facilities, it would be my own deep and abiding pleasure to personally host him.

[RESIDENTS OF AVENGERS TOWER]

A few notes for all of you who, despite some really weird predilections, are doing great. Just really great. Please keep up the greatness, and please keep these notes in mind. I just really want you to think about all the people you're living with.

Despite the fact that you all have a kitchen in your apartment areas, you seem to really like using the galley/meeting space. I'm really moved by the way you work together, and apparently eat together. But it's also important to note that you need to clean up after yourself. And in that vein: person who is leaving the bread uncovered, I know who you are. Some of us don't have super-sized immune systems and would prefer to not eat mold.

Try to refrain from seeing if you can stick refrigerator magnets on James Barnes' arm. That's really gauche and if it happens, I'm going to find you and we will have a very serious talk about your lack of respect for your fellow residents.

While I'm sure everybody likes Nikki Minaj, we don't like it at 3:00 AM booming through the intercom. I've asked JARVIS to root out the source of this music, and if you come to me first, it might actually end up saving time. Which? Nice.

WHO IS EATING MY YOGURT
But I'm really, really glad that you're here. Not that I think it's a great idea to have Earth's Mightiest Heroes all under one roof because, really, if I were some sort of villain, maybe I'd target this building. No. I'm actually really glad you're here because I know you all have each other's backs. And I've got your back.

So if you need anything, let me know.

WHO: Grant Ward & Natasha Romanoff
WHAT: TBD
WHEN: November 4th
WHERE: Avengers Tower; Kitchens
RATING: TBD

( Ward was still getting used to his new situation. )

It's weird, isn't it? Watching the world change so suddenly. I mean, Avengers notwithstanding. And aliens.

That's just all weird. That's the macrocosm.

But on the everyday. Where the rubber hits the road? One minute you're living in a van and the next, you're not living in a van. I mean, I'm clearly not living in a van. I miss my van.

[RAINA]

So if he wants to see me so much, where is he.

[ SHIELD / AVENGERS ]

Thanks.

[ FILTERED TO STEVE ]

You're still angry at them for shooting out my arm. Don't be.

People are anti-vaccinations in the 21st century.
