This is my first Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D story so please bare with me.

I apologize in advance if any characters are OOC

Disclaimer: I do not own the show or any characters besides any OCs that appear.

S.H.I.E.L.D took her baby. It was supposed to be as simple as that. At the time, she was one of their best agents, having a child would take her away from them. They could have that.

That was thirteen years ago.

Then Bahrain happened and her daughter was the last thing on her mind, till she started appearing in her dreams.

It haunted her. The fact that she had lost the child she had wanted so badly. She didn't know why they would do that, she didn't even get to hold her.

Now, S.H.I.E.L.D is being rebuilt, and she is in the middle of it.

"Where is Skye?" May asked after her agent doesn't show up for Tai Chi.

"Sent her on a mission early this morning, high school. Need to bring in a teenager who is showing abilities beyond her years," Coulson said. May nodded as she walked into the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea.

Internally, she elder woman was wondering what was so special about this teenager that they needed her. Was she super smart? Could she help Simmons? Fitz isn't how he used to be, so they still needed someone to help with that.

It was only a few hours later when they got notified that Skye and another girl were walking into the base.

"She'll need a lanyard…" Billy said as he watched as the two appeared.

The firs they saw was Skye, walking in in clothing that a teenager or civilian would wear. Converse, long pants, and a hoodie. Second was Bobbi, who had flown the plain, in her usually jeans and a t-shirt. Thirdly and last was a young girl. Obviously of Chinese decent, her skin was tan, and hair black. She was short, and very thin. She was wearing black leggings with small white dots on them, and a large, knit sweater which through you could see a white tank top.

"Welcome to the playground…?" Billy said as he made his way over.

"Mei," the girl said in a clear voice. Billy nodded but didn't write it down, it was obvious he would ask again later.

She looked around quizzically, her eyes were a deep blue and shone with something that nobody could place.

Silently, she ran her fingers through her hair. From her forehead to the back of her head. Her hair fell back into place after, perfect on her smooth skin.

"You must be Mei!" Jemma said from behind Coulson. Rushing forward, she went up to the young girl. Her expression didn't change as she saw Jemma, and didn't say anything. "I'm Jemma Simmons, can I take you to the lab? I want to get your blood type in case anything happens," Jemma said with a smile as she linked arms with the girl.

"Don't scare her…" Skye muttered as she looked at the two. She wasn't mad, just wanted to be cautious. The girl didn't seem to mind though, being dragged away.

Mei let herself be dragged down past Coulson and May, not making eye contact.

"This will only hurt a little bit," Jemma said with a smile. Billy was also standing in the room with a clipboard of questions. May and Coulson were by the door, waiting.

"Full name," Billy asked.

"Mei Zella Sung," Mei said without blinking as she watched the blood go into the tube.

"Date of birth?"

"October 31st 2001,"

"Where did you live?"

"New York City," Mei said without skipping a beat. It would seem as though she had practiced for these questions, planned answers.

She didn't flinch when the needle was taken out either. Coulson observed that she didn't flinch at all actually. She was like May in that way. Besides the names, pronounced the same.

She sat quietly as Jemma did a full body scan and then she was free from medical prodding.

"Why don't we show you where your room is going to be," Coulson said as he walked out with Mei on one said and May on the other. Skye followed quickly. "These are where all the rooms are, you'll get one on the BUS if you take it on a mission anywhere," he explained.

The young girl nodded and didn't speak. After being shown her room, she was left to unpack the bag that was sitting on the bed. Skye sat down on the chair that sat in the corner.

"So, you're from New York? The Big Apple?" she asked with a smile.

"Yes. Or well, I was. I was born in London England, a S.H.I.E.L.D base there, actually. Agents weren't allowed to have kids so I was taken away. Lived with some old retired agent my whole life," Mei explained as she put her clothes in the dresser. She didn't have that many, most of her bag was taken up by other things.

"Better than me, HYDRA killed my mom, my dad is psycho and S.H.I.E.L.D moved me around every few months," Skye said. Mei nodded as she placed some books on a shelf.

"I suppose," she said and then placed another box on the bed.

Neither girl talked as Skye watched the girl put away her things. It was one regular sized box, one suitcase, and one smaller box. All in all it included clothing, books, sheets, quilt, and art things. The girl seemed not to mind the company.

"You know, I wish I had this much stuff," Skye said with a frown. "They took my van when I got here, and now that I think about it never gave it back,"

"I doubt you'll get it back," she placed the empty boxes and suitcase under the bed. "The agency that took that from you, died. This is a new era, a new S.H.I.E.L.D."

Skye nodded along with what the girl was saying. In a way, it was a new era. A new time for the agency. The old one was gone, and replaced with this new one that was slowly coming about. The only problem with this one was that nobody knew if it would thrive, or crash and burn.
