Re-watching Agents of Shield and realizing that this is the first thing Garrett says about Ward.

Something about how Garrett was mortally wounded and denied extraction after a mission, and had to save himself (story told by him). And Coulson being killed on a mission and Fury "moving heaven and earth" to bring him back

Something about Garrett manipulating and using Ward, (who needed guidance and someone to look up to (a mentor, a father)). Garrett taking Ward under his wing, but at what cost for Ward

Something about Ward (who Garrett made, who Garrett mentored), becoming part of Coulson's team and family, even after the years Garrett put into him

Something about Coulson taking Daisy (and Fitz and Simmons) under his wing and mentoring them (at a cost to them, but not the cost of their soul). Coulson becoming Daisy's father in all but blood without her owing him anything for it

Something about Ward and Daisy's relationship (there similarities and differences when they met), and how different they ended up in the end

Something about Coulson and Garrett ending up as two side of the same coin, and their proteges ending up as two sides of the same coin too

Something about how Coulson saved Daisy and Garrett destoryed Ward more

Fury's proteges ending up so differently. One the embodiment of what SHIELD was and stood for, and the other the very thing that help tear them down

It all ending with Coulson being the one to kill both Garrett and Ward

Like he literally crawls out of a box, covered in burns head to toe, manages to make it onto the super soldier armor thingy, screams out in pain while his whole body is reformed, starts doing the whole "now, I'll be unstoppable 😈" thing

Only to be cut off as Coulson blasts him to pieces and walks off with a nonchalant "hey guys I found the laser gun!"
