AoS: Season 1 – Leo Fitz
Hey Guys,
i thought a long time if i should write about Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons together or if i will do this seperate. Fitz is after Grant Ward (Grant Ward – Season 1) my favorite person. But this is not the reason i decided to do this seperate, it is the storyline they get in the second season. So here i go again and warning for spoilers for the second season. Because i know what happend and this will flow in my thoughts about him. So yeah big spoilers.
Fitzsimmons
This is the biggest thing in his life. Jemma is like his sun. Everything in his life is about her. He works with her, he trust her like nobody else. She is his best friend, his soulmate. They are so close, there isn’t much room for anything else. Nobody really thinks about them seperate. For them they are a unity. You can’t seperate them. This friendship is something really really special. I love to see the way the trust each other, how they work together, how the knows what the other is thinking. This conection is so deep.
So how could it break so easly in season 2? It started when Fitz realize that he love Jemma. He never thought about it. She was just always with him and his best friend. He even tried to land by Skye. But when he is about to lose her. He realize that she is the one. This changes things. In little things we can see. They way Fitz is looking at her now. The way he lies to make her smile. After this point his life is more about Jemma than ever. He is trying to get closer and she is going and open to other people.They both moving in different directions.
The need to prove himself
Fitz is a genius and he knows it. He know what he can do and he knows what he can’t do. He is no Grant Ward, or Mike Peterson or Trip. He can do what he wants, but he never will be like them. This is a good thing, but he sees Jemma looking at these people and he needs to prove that he is worthy her attention. She never compare them, because she know he is worthy, that he is strong and brave. But he compares himself and that is why he tries to prove himself over and over again. After the mission with Ward it becomes better. Than Trip joins them and he needs to show that he knows much more than Trip. He don’t really believe in himself. He never needed to, because Jemma was.
Ward
Ward is a really important part for Fitz. From the begining he is searching the contact to Ward. But they never conected with each other before the mission. The built trust between each other. The are becoming friends. This is important for Fitz. The respect of Ward is really important for him and his way to see himself. When the found out that Ward is working for Garrett, Fitz is the one that is breaking down. He refuses to believe it. Because this is his friend. Because Ward is important to him. Skye says that he is a hero because he still wanted to believe in him after everything. Fitz is a hero, but not because he choose to believe in Ward. He was just realistic. Of course there is a reason. Of course there is more. Of course nobody is born evil. Believing that doesn’t make him a hero. Sacrifies is life for Jemma this makes him a hero, to refuse to give up.
Fitz has to be strong in the next season. He has to deal with what Ward did to him. How can live with what happend and all that without Jemma. Without someone believing in him.
