Quake Protocol ~ AoS Avengers Au

The May family

Melinda May POV

"May, could I have a word with you?" Coulson asked once Daisy and Fitz were out of sight. Nodding my head, I rose up from the couch to follow him to his office. Coulson sat down on his chair as I closed the door behind me before I took the seat in front of his desk.

"You have a daughter?" Coulson repeated the question he had asked over the phone, two weeks earlier. Lifting one eyebrow at him, I leaned back in the chair. "Took longer than I had expected for that question to return." I pointed out and Coulson rolled his eyes.

"Well, Simmons found Skye, so things got a little delayed." Coulson pointed out and it was my time to roll my eyes. "Yes, I have a daughter." I then answered the question. "How come I never know about this? I thought I was your best friend?" Coulson asked once more.

"You are my best friend." I started to tell him, and I could not help but to roll my eyes once more. "Besides, with the work I do and my mother, there were already a high level of danger. I have been trying to tell you so many times about her. However, when she decided to become an agent herself the risk just grow even more." I then continued, Coulson's eyes grow.

"You allowed her to become an agent?" He asked in surprise. "I didn't really have a choice on that matter." It told him. "And where is she when you are around here? Something tells me if you could you would have her assigned on this team." Coulson asked and I had a hard time not smiling at the irony, he had no idea over.

"She is out there somewhere, she keeps in contact when she can. However, the people she calls her aunt and uncle are keeping a very close eye on her every move." I explained, this time I could not keep the small smile away when I saw the confusion in his eyes. "Who is she calling her aunt and uncle?" He asked carefully, and I had a feeling he could already guess who it was.

"Natasha and Clint." I answered him, Coulson fall back in to his chair at that. "She is a real firecracker, isn't she?" He asked and I nodded my head a that. "However, I can see her father in it all to." I told him, this made Coulson sit up once more. "You said that she wants Andrew's." He started to say only to stop when he saw how I narrowed my eyes.

"He's not and I do not want to talk about this part." I told him shortly. "Does your daughter at least know who he is?" Coulson asked instead. "She knows, she also knows if she wants to speak with him I will help her." I answered him, making Coulson nod his head. "Has she?" He asked, and I shook my head.

"She says she is happy with the family she has around her." I told him, thinking back at what had happened during Christmas and New Year I could not help but to smile. "Do you know where she is now?" Coulson asked, and I nodded my head. "She is working with Agent Hand at the moment." I told him, Coulson lifting one eyebrow at that.

"And how is that working out?" He asked, smiling a little at that. "I do not know yet. It's her first time working with Hand." I told him, and Coulson nodded his head a little. A knock on the door made the two senior agents look towards the door. "Come in!" Coulson answered, and the door carefully opened, and Daisy looked into the room.

"Am I interrupting something?" She asked carefully, and I shook my head, glad that she had shown up so that there would come an end to the questions from Coulson. "What is it Daisy?" I asked her. "I have reports I need to send in to Maria." She started to say, and I could not help but to roll my eyes. "Just head for the cockpit. I'll be there in a few minutes." I answered her.

It was easy to see that Daisy started to smile at that, turning around she walked away from Coulson's office. "Can't she do her reports alone?" Coulson asked, turning my head around I could see an amused smile. "She can. However, it will never be done if she does." I answered him and stood up.

"And she comes to you for help?" Coulson asked once more and I nodded my head. "Maria put her under my watch full eye the first time around. After the mission that turned Daisy into the agent she is today she herself made sure I was around when she does her reports." I started to explain.

"I never asked her the reason. She may have said that I know about that mission. However, I only know about the aftermath." I told Coulson before he has a chance to ask another question. With a nod of my head towards him, I turn around and walk out from the office.

Daisy/Skye POV

I was leaning back in the co-pilot seat as I heard the door behind me opened. "Did you managed to make the update for Fitz's phone?" I could hear May asking and I nod my head. "Now he can have H.E.N.R.Y with him wherever he goes." I answered, taking the cup that was being held out to me and May sat down in her seat.

"I guess there is no paper work?" She then asked and I nod my head. "A clever little lie to get you out from the office." I answered her. "What was it Coulson wanted to talk about anyway?" I then asked her. "He wanted to ask about you." May answered just as I were about to take a sip from the cup.

"Me?" I asked in surprise, my eyes big as I looked at her. "Well, to be more correct he wanted to ask about my daughter." May corrected, and I lowered my cup. "Well, that had to be a bit odd." I pointed out only to have May shrug. "Not really, he called you a firecracker." May then told me and I could not help but to smile at that.

"Why did he call me that?" I asked her, knowing there had to be a reason why behind it all. "I told him that your aunt and uncle keep a close eye on you when I'm not around. When he asked who your aunt and uncle were, I told him it was Natasha and Clint." May explained and I could not help but to laugh at that.

"I'm surprised he took it that well." I told her, having a hard time stopping my laughter and I could see May smile a little beside me. "Now that we have this part over, there is something else we need to talk about." May then pointed out, ending my laughter.

"The mission." May then pointed out and I let my head fall back once more. "You do realize you will have to stay here. You are not allowed to be on the sight." May pointed out and I nod my head. "I know, doesn't mean I don't have to like it." I told her in a low voice. "Daisy, I know how much you want to get your hands on that man. However, we can't let what happened last time happen again. Your team would want to have my head on a silver plate." She pointed out.

"You will be staying here with Simmons and Fitz, keeping them safe if anything were to happen. And the most important thing, you will be our eyes and ears on this mission." May then added, I could feel how she was looking at me. "I'll stay, but don't expect me to be happy over it." I told her, knowing it was childish to say something like this but at the moment I could not help myself. I could see how May rolled her eyes at the answer she got from the corner of my eye.
