MCU AOS AU
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and I was surfing tumblr the other day when I saw a collection of fics under 'A place for every Star in the great big sky' for AOS…that spawned this idea…so big shout-out to them. AU OOC Femslash, Slash, Bashing, Cursing, and slurs.
"Why the fuck is a kid here?" Those were the first words out of Victoria Hands' mouth when she walked into her teams personal rec room only to see a small girl sitting on the floor having a staring contest with Nick. The girl, who didn't look any older than five, didn't even bat an eyelash at Victoria's entrance or the swear word as she kept on staring at Nick who stared back.
"From what I can gather, there was a slaughter at her foster home by an unknown assailant. She is the only survivor but there is more to it than that. You remember that 084 Op a team of Rookies went on in China? A small village?" Jasper asked looking at the tall woman with red streaks in her hair as she walked further into the room.
"The entire village was slaughtered and once the team was back state-side they started dying off too. There was only one survivor that we know of but he's vanished off of our radar." John Garrett said from behind Victoria making Felix nod.
"Yes, that girl there is the only survivor of the village slaughter as well. One of the youngest Rookies was going to disappear with her from everywhere but once the team started dying with signs of being tortured she faked clearance for an almost invisible protection protocol and left her with an orphanage. She was to be constantly moved from home to home, moving immediately if any tried to adopt her, and her case workers were constantly being switched as well. It seems however that she fell through every crack and crevice in the system and kept paying the price for it." Felix said making Victoria and John both cringe, okay that wasn't good.
"She can also hear you." The little girl called dryly from her spot, still not looking away from Nick.
"Get used to it kid. Everyone does it to everyone else around here, especially Baby Girl." John said grinning as he threw an arm around Victoria who snorted at his nickname for her.
"Choke on a dick." Victoria said without any real heat behind it as she grinned at John who grinned back.
"Not in front of the kid you two!" Phil said looking scandalized and horrified as he stared at them from where he was sitting beside Nick.
"Fuck off Phil!" John and Victoria called in unison, making the girl smile slightly.
"So now she's being placed under protective custody…and the World council decided who better to protect her, and raise her since we have no clue when the threat will end, than Shield's leading team? So Tori, John, say hello to our shared daughter. Her name is Mar-" Jasper began smiling brightly at their looks of disbelief before he was cut off.
"If you call me that stupid name I'll shoot you!" The little girl growled cutely as she whipped around to glare at Jasper who looked amused.
"With what kid?" John asked only for his jaw to drop when the girl gave a highly familiar smirk and reached under the coffee table beside her, pulling out a gun that looked way way too big and scary in her tiny hands.
"See I know how to turn off the safety and make sure the clip is loaded and everything! So what were you saying?" The girl asked holding the gun up, which was pretty surprising considering most kids couldn't, and flicking the safety off as she pointed it at Jasper who gaped at her. Her hands didn't waver a single bit.
"What the fuck?!" Victoria was the first to yell as the girl smiled brightly and put the safety back on as she set the gun back down.
"Who the hell left a gun where a motherfucking kid could get to it?" Nick shouted as he glared around the room at his team while Melinda quickly moved the gun away from the kid and out of her zone of reach as the rest of the team looked at each other alarmed and confused before they all as one turned towards Victoria. She is the Weapons Expert after all.
"I put some guns in just about every spot able in this room but I did not put one under the coffee table!" Victoria exclaimed immediately at their looks.
"Every spot?" John asked leering at Victoria playfully causing her to flip him off.
"Eat my dick John!"
"You guys are weird. You do all the things the nuns back at the orphanage tell me not to." The girl said bluntly as she blinked bright eyes up at them causing them to blink and look at her again. All at once they start cracking up.
"Nuns? Oh you poor kid! We're so far from being nuns that it shouldn't be funny!" Felix said through his laughter while John and Victoria were near tears as they clutched their sides and each other to remain upright.
"But it's fucking hilarious!" John hooted out while the kid watched them curiously her eyes continuously drawn to Melinda and Victoria. After a few moments the team calmed down and Victoria went to the open bar to poor herself a drink, deciding on a margarita that she promptly drained.
"That was good. So what's your name kid, or what's a name that you want to have since you don't seem to like yours?" John asked grinning down at Skye as he leaned against the bar beside where Victoria was sitting and refilling her glass with gin.
"Skye. My name is Skye with an 'e' no matter what the stupid nuns say and I'm at least seven years old but I could be eight since I don't know my birthday." Skye said making the team nod slightly, hiding their winces at her not knowing her own birthday.
"What kind of name is Skye?" John asked just as Victoria was swinging back her gin. Victoria's gin left her mouth in a messy but hilarious spit take and hit John square in the face at Skye's response as the woman nearly choked as she laughed.
"Choke on a dick!"
