alone ~ adjective \ə-ˈlōn\: without people that you know or that usually are with you
#Melinda always seems to be alone at the moments of her darkest fears coming true#in Bahrain#when perhaps she really truly realized how easily she could become the monsters she fights#at the bridge#when she’s so close to losing the man she came out of retirement to protect#at the temple#when the woman she’s been mentoring flew the nest and it looks like all is lost#when Shield shattered and everyone she had protected for so long turned on her#and yet she also seems the least truly alone in the world—she has themost breadth and depth of relationships of anyone on the bus#Fury trusts her with his most precious agent#Natahsa’s in her phone#her mother will cross the country to pick her up#Maria Hill drops her gun when she sees her and tries to recruit her immediately#and for all the bus sees her as the ice queen#she reaches out to Ward and mentors Skye and Jemma and Fitz#she bonds with Trip and chats with Bobbi (for certain understandings of ‘chats’)#Melinda’s alone is heartbreaking not because it’s a constant but because it isn’t (via eveningsandcoffeespoons)
