Since Lily arrived she had been feeling very useless, seeing as she wasn't trained to be out in the field, yet. She was given the job as a nurse to help heal everyone after a mission. She sat at the small desk she got and was sharpening her knives and daggers, and cleaning her guns.
"Be careful. Don't want to stab yourself" May warns her
Lily looked up at her and smiled. She got up from her desk and ran over to May. She hugged her, missing her when she was away. May smiled and hugged back. Lily then pulled away and scanned May for any injuries. May laughed a bit and looked at her.
"I'm fine. Everyone is fine. The mission wasn't that dangerous" May tells her
"Doesn't mean I can't worry" Lily tells her
Lily walked back over to her desk where her weapons are. May saw them and walked over.
"Where'd you get these?" May asks
"Home-made. Spent a lot of time by myself and weapons have always been my mindset, combat is my first" Lily tells her
"You any good?" May asks
"Don't know. I never have anyone to spar with, or fight with to do it. Fighting has been in my blood for as long as I can remember. I always wondered where I got it from. I knew that Tammy wasn't my actual mother. We were always very different towards each other" Lily tells her
"Any ideas?" May asks
"Thought of wrestlers, and now I'm starting to think they're maybe S.H.I.E.L.D Agents" Lily says
May tensed again. She felt like Lily was starting to piece everything together but she wasn't.
"I may be wrong, though," Lily says
"Want to spar?" May asks
Lily looked at her in shock. She wasn't sure if she heard her correctly or not.
"Really?" Lily asks
"Yeah, maybe it will help you if you are in field" May tells her
"Ok" Lily says excited
Lily put her gun down onto the desk. May lead her to the training room. Lily may have been here for a little bit, but she still doesn't know the way to certain places. May grabbed two pairs of boxing gloves. She gave one to Lily and then put hers on. After the gloves were on, they began sparring.

As May and Lily boxed, the rest of the team, minus Coulson, were in the living area. Mack and Fitz were playing a video game as the girls talked.
"Anyone heard from Lily? She would love to hang out with us" Daisy says
"No, I haven't from her today," Simmons tells her
"Last time I saw her was Yesterday," Yoyo tells her as well
"Maybe she's cleaning her weaponry. She cares so much about her weapons" Mack tells them looking a little over his shoulder, keeping his eyes still on the screen
"I don't know if it's just me who noticed this, but May has been around her a lot" Daisy says
"No, I've seen it too," Simmons says
"I have too" Fitz says
"Maybe their related?" Yoyo suggests
"You seriously think they are related?" Simmons asks
"Yeah, I mean, have you seen the resemblance between those two?" Yoyo asks
"Now that you mention it, I have" Mack tells her
"I have too" Fitz says again
"Fitz! Are you even listening?" Simmons asks him
"Nope!" Fitz tells her

Lily laid on the floor breathing heavily. After they sparred, she was tired. May held a hand out for her to grab. Lily grabbed it as May helped her stand up. They took their gloves off and placed them back.
"You're good. You just need to work on your footwork. You were a little too bent down with that last punch" May tells her
Lily nodded her head as she took a drink of water. The doors to the training room opened and the two women looked. Coulson walked in and walked over to them.
"Hey, I was looking for you both-did both of you spar?" Coulson asks taking note of the sweat dripping off both of their bodies
"Yeah," Lily says wiping a drop of sweat from her forehead
"So I take it that you like it here?" Coulson asks her
"I do. It's way better than I expected it to be" Lily tells him
"I'm glad you like it here. Why don't you head to the living area? The rest are there" Coulson suggests
"Ok," Lily says
Lily left the room leaving the couple in the room alone. Coulson than looked at May.
"How was sparring?" Coulson asks
"Great. She's good. Better than Daisy when she arrived" May tells him
"She must've got that from her mother," Coulson says smirking
May smiled a little bit. She felt like that was true. She can see the similarities between Lily and herself.
"Maybe," May says
"When are we going to tell her?" Coulson asks
"I want to wait until she trusts us," May tells him
~~~
Lily ran into the living area. She smiled and sat down next to Mack, as he and Fitz played a game. Mack sees the girl next to him.
"There you are! We were looking for you!" Mack tells her
"Sorry! I was with May" Lily tells them like it was nothing
"You were with May?" Daisy asks
"Yeah," Lily says not understanding
"May seems to like you a lot. She never really hangs out with anyone, except Coulson" Daisy tells her
"We just sparred," Lily says standing up
Lily walked to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. She felt the stares on her back as she closed the fridge. She turns around and sees them staring at her.
"What?" Lily asks
"How come you're not out of breath?! Usually, when May trains us, she makes us breath like we just ran a marathon" Yoyo tells her
"I've run a marathon before. Not that dramatic" Lily tells them
Lily then walks out of the room and heads to her room. She laid down on her bed and lets out all the harsh breaths from the sparring.
