Miley leaned her head on the padded walls. After ten years she couldn't understand why she was still fighting. Then she'd tell herself that her father would show up, he had to show up. Tears slid down her face as the nagging voice in her head told her he wasn't coming. Jackie had died in her arms a few years ago she just couldn't take anymore. Jackie had gotten a hold of a knife but instead of attacking like was expected she slit her own throat. Miley had caught her as she dropped trying to stop the bleeding. She had become more obedient after that. Just trying to stay alive so that she could get home. Not for herself, she didn't give a damn about herself. Miley just wanted to see her dad smile at the sight of her and she wanted to hug him. Miley needed him to pick up the pieces of her broken soul.

Miley was half-asleep on the floor Jackie's screams filling her mind. Suddenly she heard multiple footsteps and she quickly stood up swaying. Miley heard gun shots and backed up to the edge of the small cell she was in. Her heart was beating out of her chest as she struggled to get air into her lungs. Footsteps entered the hallway men in black uniforms with...SHIELD logos? This had to be a trick. A mind game to break her. They stopped when they saw her and broke open the door. Miley slunk back into a corner and watched them out of fear. One of them dropped down to her level and held out a hand.

"It's okay we aren't going to hurt you. We're with SHIELD. What's your name?" the agent asked.

"Miley," she said. She skeptically took the agent's hand. Miley was quickly pulled up and three agents helped her out of the compound.

A few hours later Miley sat in Fury's office drinking hot chocolate. Fury walked in and he looked the girl up and down. Her clothes were rags and she was a twig. Miley's blonde hair looked almost brown with the level of dirt and her blue eyes looked dull. Her entire body was caked with dirt. She slowly turned her head to face him. Fury could only stare at the girl before him. The girl they thought long dead.

"Is Jackie dead?" Fury asked in a low voice that seemed to be overflowing with venom and anger.

"Yeah." Miley said, "Slit her own throat. Bled out in my arms." The tears started again and she began to sob uncontrollably. Fury quickly moved the other side of the desk and softly pulled her into his arms.

"I'm sorry." he said, "I am so sorry."

After they talked and Fury explained the situation concerning her father the best he could Hill took her to find some clothes.

"We all thought you died," Hill said.

"I couldn't let them win." Miley said sitting down, "Does Aunt Nat remember me?"

"Yeah." she said, "We tried to get her to do the mind wiping but she said she'd rather die."

"Can I see her?" Miley asked.

"Miley-" Hill started but she cut her off.

"Please. I really need someone right now and Nat was always like a second mom to me. Please, Maria." Miley begged.

"Let me talk to Fury." she said.

"Thank you," Miley said. Hill nodded and pulled something for Miley to wear.

Hill stood in Fury's office talking to him.

"Are you sure that's a good idea, sir?" Hill asked.

"Coulson and Miley both need someone they know right now. They need this." Fury said.

"Okay sir." she said.

Miley walked onto the bus and over to her room. She was the first one there. Miley's head spun with thoughts as she walked over to her bed. She breathed in to stop the tears. Miley didn't know how long she had been sitting on her bed with her eyes closed but when she opened them everyone else was there. May poked her head in.

"Wheels up in five," she stated. Miley nodded.

When they landed May walked into Miley's room.

"We're going to check out the explosion scene," May said.

"Can I just stay in here? I want to help but I need time." Miley said. May nodded and left her alone.

An hour or two later Miley was called into the room with the computer. Miley introduced herself and turned her attention to Coulson. After they went over the plan Miley went with May and Skye.

They arrived at the van and Skye started hacking. After she was done Miley noticed Skye slipping something into her bra.

"I'm done." she stated.

"Then let's go," May said. Just then May was slammed against the wall. Mike started to go after Miley but she flinched and put her hands up. He stopped immediately and took in how this girl seemed to be shaking at the slightest movement. Mike turned to Skye.

"You're going to help us." he stated.

"Us?" she asked. Mike pulled his son in front of him and pushed him in the car. Miley didn't know what to do her whole body seemed to shake as she started to have a panic attack. The van drove away and Miley collapsed.

Miley woke up to May standing over her saying they had to go. Miley nodded and stood up following her to the train station. When they got there they met up with Coulson and Ward.

"Miley stay here," Coulson instructed.

"I want to help." she said.

"Just please sit this one out." he said.

"Please, I need to help. It was my fault we lost Skye anyway. I couldn't move. I'm better now." Miley said.

"I won't let you get hurt again!" Coulson yelled. Miley closed her mouth.

"Yes sir." she said getting in the car.

After they ran into the building Miley got out of the car. She saw a scared little boy running through the crowd. Miley recognized Ace and ran over to him. Getting down to his level.

"Hi I'm Miley and I know you don't know me but my friends are in there trying to help your dad. I'm a SHIELD agent and I just need you to come over to the car with me. To keep you safe, I promise no one's gonna hurt you." she said. Ace started shaking his head.

"Your daddy is a good man he's just scared right now. I'm scared. You're scared. Everyone's scared. That's okay. I had a little sister, Jackie. She was the sweetest little girl ever. When she was five something happened to her. Jackie changed and suddenly she had these powers that she didn't know how to use. Inherited them from my mom. She was really scared but you know what? She got better. It's alright if you're scared but right now I need you to trust me. I will protect you until this is all over." Miley said.

"What am I supposed to do if I lose my dad?" Ace asked in a tiny voice.

"I just lost my dad and I'm still figuring that out. My friends in there are going to try their hardest to make sure that doesn't happen," she said. Ace smiled softly at her.

"Can you tell me more about Jackie while we wait?" he asked.

"I can definitely do that," Miley said.

Coulson and May came to the car to see Miley with Ace sitting next to her telling him stories. They both walked over.

"I'm going to take you to your Aunts alright?" Coulson said. Ace looked at Miley. She nodded and motioned for him to go. Ace got up and went with Coulson. May walked over to Miley.

"You did well," May said.

"Thanks." she said.

They all got back on the bus. Miley poured herself a drink and sat down. Ward walked up to her.

"So you're Hawkeye's daughter?" he asked.

"Not really anymore." she said taking a sip of her drink.

"I heard what happened." Ward said, "Not a lot of people can be held captive for ten years and come out sane."

"Who says I'm sane?" Miley said finishing her drink and standing up.

"Oh, you're sane." he said.

"Good to know. I am going to go to my room," she said.

"Sorry if I struck a nerve," Ward said.

"I am still getting used to being an orphan but thank you for bringing it up," Miley said. Wards phone rang and he picked it up.

"Ward." he said, "Right away."

"What?" Miley asked.

"We have an 0-8-4," Ward said. Miley ran off to get Fitz-Simmons.
