Grant Ward, double agent and evil Hydra mastermind. But what would've happened if he had someone to keep him sane? This is the story of Samantha Slater, Grant Ward's best friend and possibly his savior.
********
Samantha Slater has just graduated high school. She's been through several different bad foster homes, but now that she's 18, she's going to strike out on her own and make the most of life. Just as she was planning a whirlwind backpacking trip around the world, a certain agent of SHIELD stepped into her life to introduce her to all kinds of new possibilities and adventures. Samantha has a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people, see new places, and even fall in love, but no matter what happens, one thing's for sure: she's going to need to stay on her toes if she wants a shot at saving Grant Ward.

"WARD!"
"What is it now Slater?"
"THERE IS A SPIDER IN THE KITCHEN!"
"Are you kidding me? You can fight off a hoard of Russian mobsters but you can't deal with one tiny spider?"
"GRANT THIS IS NOT A JOKE GET IN HERE NOW!"
"Fine! I'm coming. Just don't panic."
"IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR THAT!"

Melanie was paranoid, always watching over her shoulder to ensure that danger was far behind her, which wasn't uncommon for a hacker of the Rising Tide. When SHIELD show's up in her and Skye's lives, she finds herself peering over her shoulder a lot more, unable to trust anyone, keeping secrets about her life that could lead to her breaking the teams trust. Secrets are dangerous in SHIELD, especially since you never know a spy's true intentions. You never know what people are willing to use against you. You never know who is a friend and who is an enemy. Is Grant Ward the one person that she could find herself being able to trust? To open herself up to? Maybe it's better to be as cold as ice.
