Out Of Time

hundred six

Summer came and went. Tony and Y/N spent every second that they could together. And when they weren't together it was because Pepper had forced Tony into meetings and Y/N was at the new facility training.

Talks of having children never came up again, but that's also because Y/N was doing everything in her power to avoid it.

Before they knew it, it was October. Y/N and Tony were currently laying in bed after another round of sex. They were both shocked when FRIDAY interrupted their peace with an announcement.

"Excuse me, Boss," the AI started, "but someone's trying to reach you using the private line."

"The private line?" Tony repeated.

"Only one person uses the private line," Y/N stated. "After six months, now is when he decides to call? Not impressed."

"Ignore it, FRIDAY."

"I have tried," FRIDAY said. "But it had been ringing off the hook for the past hour."

Y/N groaned, burying her face into Tony's neck. "Just answer it," she said quietly.

"Y/N? You there?" Coulson's voice filled the room.

"She's here," Tony replied. "Have you decided to finally call and apologize?"

"I have bigger issues right now."

"Really, Phil?" Y/N questioned. "Like what?"

"Simmons is missing."

Coulson went on to explain that Simmons disappeared about 6 months ago, after looking into the rock, the monolith, that was on Gonzalez' ship. Fitz had been trying his best to find a way to reach her, but nothing. Coulson decided that he needed Y/N's help on this one, to at least bring Fitz back to reality. That Simmons may never be coming back.

Y/N and Tony quickly dressed. Tony ordered for all the information to be sent to him so that he could also work on it. He gave her a kiss goodbye before she went through a portal to Coulson's office in the base.

There Phil also explained what had and was happening the Inhumans. Jiaying had killed Gonzalez, trying to start a war. Cal was forced to kill Jiaying in front of Skye, who was now going by Daisy. The crystals had fallen into the ocean and were absorbed by the fish. Causing people to start unlocking there Inhuman DNA without the risk of others dying.

"I do want to apologize," Coulson finished off his briefing. "You didn't deserve any of how you were treated. I'm so sorry."

"Where is everyone?" Y/N asked.

"Skye-Daisy, I mean, Mack, and Hunter are on an extraction mission right now. An Inhuman after terrigensis."

"Do they know you're bringing me in?"

"Not yet. Thought it might be a welcome surprise for them." Coulson checked his watch. "I'm actually running late to meet them. You wanna come with me or stay here?" Coulson began leaving his office.

"You said you were just bringing me in to help Fitz."

"Yeah, well, I have a new plane. You wanna see it?"

Y/N was in awe off the new plane, Zephyr One. It was definitely more suited to the team's needs than the Bus was. Coulson told Y/N to stay hidden while he went to talk to Daisy. She couldn't help but follow them.

"How's he doing?" Coulson asked, speaking of the man in the containment module.

"Okay," Daisy answered. "For now."
