Purpose

A/N : Hi! At the beggining let me just warn you, that the story is very sad and full of angst, because I had to let out my emotions after S6 finale (which killed me, and I don't know if I'll ever recover). Takes place in episodes 6x12 and 6x13. It's bassically season finale rewrite, but I made it more May/Daisy, because I really love their mother/daughter relationship and I think we were robbed of it. English is not my main language, so I'm sorry for mistakes (please, remember that we're all humans and that we write here for fun). I'll be gratefull for every comment. I really hope you'll like it. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER : Not mine, everything belongs to MCU.

''I'm not the cure for your lonliness!" Sarge shouted and punched the table with his clenched fist, making Melinda jump in her place a little.

Holding her breath, she looked down at the depression caused by the impact, and a cold shiver ran down her spine. She looked back at him. He was angry. In the eyes she knew so well, for the first time she saw what she had denied from her subconscious for so long. A monster, a beast hiding in his body capable of smashing the entire base to dust. For the first time, she was really scared. What else was he capable of? What was he really?

Shaking off the shock, she turned on her heel and left the room, unable to bear the tension any longer. She managed to take a few steps down the corridor before Daisy appeared beside her. The girl looked at her questioningly. Melinda sighed.

''He's being deffensive," she said. Daisy raised her hands in a 'really?' gesture.

''That's what you took from the conversation? He almost broke through the table."

Melinda shook her head. ''Getting through to him is still our best shot. But it's not something we can force."

''Maybe we should. You are Melinda May! You could beat it out of him if you wanted to." Daisy stopped for a moment and looked in the older woman's brown eyes. ''But you won't do that, will you? You're hoping Coulson is in there somewhere."

May clenched her teeth and raised her head higher. She didn't want to show Daisy how much this situation was hurting her. She had to keep it together.

''Fitz says Sarge might've been created from him, and Izel basically confirmed it!"

''We don't know how he was created! Our fears manifested in ways-''

''He was afraid to die, and I was afraid of loosing him. Weren't you?" She wanted to kick herself when her voice broke dangerously at the last words. Fortunately, Daisy didn't seem to notice it.

''She said that there's another thing inside him that could defeat her. We should be focusing on that."

''Waking that part of him was exactly what Izel was trying to do! He should be fighting it!"

''Who should?" Melinda tried to leave, but Daisy blocked her way. ''I'm sorry, May, but the person that is in there is not the man that you loved!"

Oh.

The girl's words cut into the heart of the brunette like knives. She took a sharp breath in and tried to blink away the tears that formed in her eyes. She looked at Daisy hard.

''Move."

''I understand holding out hope that Coulson is somehow back, but-''

''You're right, I wish he was back," May cut her off. ''To remind you of the days I was your S.O. And also to look for the good, no matter how scared you are to face it."

Daisy's mouth opened slightly and her eyes grew slightly warmer. ''May-''

''You wanna force it out of him? Go ahead. But if it goes south, it's on you. We have already enough to worry about!"
