Mercedes Jones was pissed. Neither her parents nor her brother made it to her graduation after they all swore that they would. Her mother, Donita Jones, had called her two days before the ceremony and said that she had to stay in California for a few more days. Some up incoming artist lost his voice 3 days before his debut performance on Ellen, and apparently her mother is the only vocal coach that can get him up to par in time for the show. Donita congratulated her, and promised to check in later when she got a chance. She knew that her mother was the best vocal coach in the business and that she was always working, but dammit couldn't she take off of work for one weekend to see her only daughter graduate? She was able to make it to her brother's graduation three years ago, why not make it to hers now. Speaking of her brother, where in the world was he? Oh that's right David Jones was at training camp. He told her a few days ago that he wouldn't be able to make it. He said as captain of his team he had to lead by example, and if none of his teammates were taking leave than neither was he. At least she heard from her mother and brother. She hadn't spoken to her father in over a week. The last thing he said to her was, "Baby girl, I promise that I will be there. Nothing short of death or the end of the world could keep me away."
Well that man better be in grave danger because here she was all alone watching her friends all being happy with their families. Ok technically she wasn't alone because she had Sam with her, but it wasn't the same. She loved Sam and was grateful for his presences, but he wasn't her family. Not yet anyway. Mercedes knew that her parents worked hard to be able to protect and provide for her. She understood that was the reason they were hardly ever home, but sometimes a girl just wants to be with her family. After a small sigh Mercedes put on a smile and tried to be happy for herself and for her friends. Suddenly she felt an arm around her shoulders. She looked up and saw her boyfriend gazing down at her thoughtfully. "You ok?" he asked. She nodded.
"I'm fine. I just wish that they were here, you know?" Sam pulled her in close then kissed her forehead.
"You're mom said she would be home as soon as she can, and I'm sure that your dad has a good reason for not being here." Before Mercedes could respond she was pulled out of Sam's arms and into a big hug from her surrogate father, Burt Hummle. She smiled as she wrapped her arms around him. Mr. Hummle treated Mercedes as if she was the daughter that he never had. No matter what time of day or night, day of the week, or if she and Kurt were even on speaking terms, Burt's door was always open for her. Whenever she couldn't reach her own father to ask for advice Burt was the one she turned to.
"Hey kiddo! Look at you all grown up. It seems like just yesterday you and Kurt were sitting in your footie pajamas giggling as you ate popcorn and had a Disney Princess movie marathon." Burt laughed as he rocked them back and forth.
"That was just yesterday dad. In fact it was last night, like 13 hours ago." replied Kurt as he and Blaine approached the trio. Burt loosened his hold on Mercedes just to quickly pull Kurt into them. Carol soon joined them followed by Finn and the Berry clan.
"Jump in here Carol and Finn." Burt commanded. Finn smiled then put his arm around Mercedes' shoulder as Carol stepped in next to Kurt. "Leroy," Burt began, "Can you snap a picture of me and my family?"
"Of course, and what a handsome family you have." Carol handed her camera to Leroy and he took a picture of the smiling group. After a few more forced photos with the groups ranging in size and people Kurt was finished.
"Ok enough. We will be taking our leave now. We have to get home and freshen up for Satan's, I mean Santana's after party." Kurt said as he pulled Mercedes and Blaine out of Burt's grasp. "We will see you all later, maybe at 12 tomorrow to have a nice lunch." Mercedes, Sam, Kurt, and Blaine made their way to the parking lot together. Kurt linked his arm with Mercedes' and asked. "Are you ok? I mean we knew your brother and mom weren't going to make it, but how are you feeling about your dad?"
"I'm ok. I guess he had trouble leaving Rwanda." She replied
"I still think that your dad being a missionary dentist is weird. I never even knew that that was a thing. I thought only churches and doctors went to help in foreign countries. How did your dad even get into it?" Blaine asked.
"People need dental health just as much as they need medical health in those countries. My dad was watching on of those feed the children commercials one night and decided the people there needed one good dentist more than Lima needed another dentist. So off he went." Mercedes explained.
"Blaine and I will be seeing you two at the party right?" Kurt inquired as he opened the driver seat to Baby.
"Of course. Sam and I will be there with bells on. Just because my immediate family isn't here to celebrate with me doesn't mean that I am going to miss a chance to celebrate with my second family." Kurt blew her a kiss and drove off as Mercedes and Sam got into her car.
"You know we don't have to go if you're not feeling it right?" Sam said as they pulled out of the parking lot.
"I know, but I would rather be there at least pretending not to be mad than sitting at home wallowing in self-pity. Besides I want to dance all up on my man. If you didn't know he has this move called the windy city and I'm ready to be blown away." She finished while throwing him a coquettish wink.
"Girl you don't need a party to get on all of this." Sam ran his hand seductively down his chest. "When we get to your house I can show you all of my Wild Stallion moves. No need to leave."
Mercedes laughed and shook her head. "The party is the pre-show. When we get back I expect the main event to be the performance of a life time."
Sam smirked. "Be careful what you wish for. Last time you asked for a big show you lost your voice, and had to lie to your mamma about having a sore throat from screaming on the Tilt-a-whirl at the carnival."
Mercedes' phone vibrated and chimed from inside her purse interrupting their banter. "Could you read that text for me Sammy?"
Sam pulled out her phone and read the message out loud. "Congratulations on the graduation. Wish I could be there. Love always. B." He looked at Mercedes puzzled. "It's from an unknown number. Who is B?"
Mercedes smiled and got a far off look in her eyes. "She is a really good friend that I haven't seen in a while."
"A friend you say. A female friend? That one text seemed to make you awfully happy."
"Yes Sam. She," Mercedes said stressing the pronoun, "is a really good friend from when I used to live in California as a little kid. I'm just surprised yet glad that she remembered I graduated today."
"Why didn't I know that you used to live in California when you were little? I thought you always lived in Lima."
"My family and I moved to Lima roughly after my dad started to do mission work. My parents thought that Lima was a nice safe town to settle in."
"Is that why you want to go to UCLA, so that you and B can be with each other again?" Sam asked while pouting.
"No her family moved about the same time as mine. They moved to Virginia or someplace."
"Do you think I could meet this B some day? If she can produce that kind of smile after the type of day you've had she must mean a lot to you."
"Maybe. She's like my sister from another mother."
"Don't you mean sister from another mister? That one rhymes." Same corrected. Mercedes just smiled and continued driving. They made it to Mercedes' house in plenty of time to get dressed for the party. They chose to shower and dress separately because they knew that if even a small bit of flesh was revealed while in the same room they wouldn't make it to the party. Well in truth Mercedes decided and Sam just had to deal with it. Once both teens were dressed and ready they walked over to Santana's house, which was just a few houses down from Mercedes'. Walking up the crowded drive way they could hear the music blasting from inside. Mercedes rang the doorbell and they waited for a response.
"Do you think we should just go in? I doubt they even heard that." Sam asked just as the door was yanked open by a clearly tipsy Santana.
"Bout time you got here Weezy. Bring that fine guppy lipped arm candy in here so we can show these fools how to really shake some ass." Santana shouted over the music, and then turned to head back to the party.
Sam and Mercedes shot each other a look and laughed. "After you mi 'lady." Sam said with a sweeping bow then followed her inside.
The party was bumping. It wasn't just the glee kids like Mercedes expected. Half of the graduating senior class was there plus most of the football and cheerleading team. There was hardly a place to stand let alone dance. Sugar came up to them with two drinks in her hand and shouted, "Welcome to Santana's party. Here are your first drinks of many tonight. House rules are as follows: get your freak on anywhere but Santana's room or her parents' room. If you are going to be sick you better find a toilet or a sidewalk 'cause San don't clean up nobody's vomit. Break anything and Snix will break you. No drugs, cause San doesn't have the time to explain away your leftovers to her parents. Other than that make it do what it do baby." Sugar finished her speech with her best Santana impression.
"What are you doing Sugar?" Asked Sam as he and Mercedes took the drinks offered to them.
"Santana has made me a co-host and it is my job to get everyone their first drink and tell them the rules. Artie and Mike are the enforcers." Mercedes looked across the room to see Artie chatting up one of the cheerios and Mike was on the floor dancing with Tina, both clearly past their first drinks of the night. It didn't seem like they would be enforcing anything.
"Sugar!" Santana yelled across the room and nodded her head towards some newcomers.
"Motta has gotta go," and with that Sugar raced over to the makeshift bar leaving the two alone.
"Now if I'm not mistaken you were wanting to get all up on this earlier today." Sam said after gulping down his drink. "Is that still the plan?"
Mercedes took a sip of her drink, set it down on the table, grabbed Sam's hand, and lead him to the dance floor. "The question good sir is, are you ready to be twreked like never before?"
After the police had been called for the third time for noise disturbances Santana's party was shut down at about 3 in the morning. Mercedes ushered the guest out as Sam and a few of the other glee kids helped clean up. It seemed that the party was too much for the host and co-host because both were passed out on the couch. Mercedes came back into the living room.
"That's it." She started, "everyone has left with either a designated driver, or are in a cab. So Sam and I are going to head out."
Kurt stepped over a passed out Blaine and hugged Mercedes to him. "I don't know how drunk you are so I'm going to remind you to use protection. I can see by the way Sam is looking at you and the door that he is ready to be intimate. No one is ready for Samcedes babies so please wrap it up."
Mercedes pulled out of their hug. "Boy please. No glove no love is my motto."
Sam wrapped his arm around Mercedes. "Let's go babe. I have plans for you." Mercedes let out a small giggle and waved to the few remaining glee kids as Kurt escorted them out.
"See you all for lunch at 12 right?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah we'll be there." Mercedes replied. Then she and Sam made their way back to her house. Every few steps Sam would stop and turn Mercedes so that he could kiss her. "Sam," Mercedes moaned out as he pushed her against her front door. "If you don't stop we won't make it inside." Sam let her go so that she could fish her keys out of her pocket and open the door.
Sam went to reach for her again, but was stopped by a robotic disembodied voice, and a flashing red light. "State your name." The voice said.
Sam was puzzled. "What the hell was that?" He asked looking around.
"Name and voice not recognized. State your name."
"Mercy did you get a new alarm code?" Sam asked looking at his now ashen girlfriend.
The voice rang out again, "Name not recognized. This is the last chance before the message is deleted and the security is activated. State your name."
Mercedes quickly slapped her hand over Sam's mouth before he could speak. She called out loud and clear, "Siren Song Fury." Sam stared at her. His confusion was plain to see on his face.
"Access granted. Your message will soon begin." Sam's eyes widened in shock as the red light stopped flashing, the picture of Mercedes and her brother started to turn inside the wall and a large television screen replaced it, and a key board sprouted right beneath it.
"Mercy what is going on here? Why is your house talking to us? Siren Song Fury?" He asked his words mumbled under Mercedes' hand. She didn't answer she just kept her eyes on the screen and removed her hand from his lips. Soon a bald Black man with an eye patch came into focus on the screen. Behind him people were screaming, lights were flickering, and guns were being shot. However, the man seemed to be oblivious to it all. "Is that? I mean it can't be…right?"
Before Sam could formulate his sentence the man started to speak. "Siren Song, our headquarters is under siege. Thus far none of my team has been able to stop them, and many of our people are already dead. Some of us are being taken as hostages."
"What the hell?!" Sam shouted. "Why is he on a screen over your fire place? Why is he calling you? What is a Siren Song?"
"Sam please!" Mercedes whispered harshly as she concentrated on the video before her.
"I need you to get in contact with Nature's Servant and fulfill a search and rescue mission. All that I can tell you of the enemy is that they are unfazed by all of our weapons, they appear out of nowhere with no prior warning, their eyes our completely black, and they can take the shape of anyone. At the end of this message you will receive our current coordinates. I ask you to hurry and be safe." The man paused in his speech. His eyes taking on a remorseful gaze. "Baby girl I'm sorry I missed your graduation. I hope you enjoyed yourself today."
Just then a short woman with eyes of black appeared behind him and grabbed him by the collar. "It's your turn now Director."
The man lifted a gloved hand grasping a pistol behind him and shot the woman in the face. "Not yet motherfucker," he grunted out as she dropped him to the floor. He raced back up to the camera and computer system in front of him. His hand working furiously over the keys. He looked back up to the camera just as the woman was reaching for him again, her face back to its original form. "Nick Fury over and out." Then the screen went black.
For a long minute neither of the teens made a sound. To stunned to move or speak. The robotic voice rang out once again propelling Mercedes out of her stupor. "Here are the coordinates sent to you by Director Fury. What shall I do with them?"
Mercedes sprang into action. She moved to the keyboard over the fire place and began to type. "Computer, send the coordinates to the jet and bring up the elevator."
"Right away Siren Song." Sam jumped as a loud clang was heard and a large square section of the living room floor began to rise bringing up with it a set of glass doors leading into the elevator.
"Mercy?" Sam said slowly. Mercedes seemed not to hear him and instead continued to work on the keyboard. She punched in several passcodes bypassing the security of the house. "Mercedes what are you doing?"
She didn't look up as she answered. "Opening the weapons hatch."
"Weapons Hatch? Why do you have a weapons hatch when you won't even go hunting with me?" Sam mumbled softly to himself. The wall to their left began to shake and separate. Behind it was another wall with several drawers filled with weaponry. Mercedes marched to the opening and grabbed a bag hanging from a hook. She began to fill it with several guns, knives and other gadgets that Sam had never seen. She then took four gun holsters from the shelf. She stuffed two in the bag, fastened on over her thigh and the last one she slipped over her shoulders. She slid two more guns in her shoulder holsters and one in her thigh holster. She grabbed a small revolver and a case of bullets and handed them to Sam. He didn't take them he just stared at them then looked back to her.
Mercedes huffed then grabbed both of his hands and placed the gun and bullets in his palms. "Have you ever shot a gun before?" She asked him. He continued to just stare at her with his mouth gapping. "Sam, have you ever shot a gun before?" She asked again. He nodded his reply. "Good. This is just a precaution. I doubt they are, but If whoever was after my dad and the S.H.I.E.L.D agents is on the way I want you to have something to protect yourself. I don't know what good a gun will do though. I mean you saw the video." Mercedes reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.
"Dammit Mercedes what is going on. What do you mean your dad? Answer some of my questions!" Sam demanded.
"I will Sam just hold on." Mercedes lifted the phone to her ear and waited for the other end to pick up. "Hey B, dad has been taken. I just received a frantic message from him as S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters was being attacked. He needs us for a search and rescue." She paused letting B respond. "Send me your address and I'll be on my way. Later." She hung up and looked at Sam.
"Nick Fury? B, as in the girl from earlier? What do you all have to do with this?" Sam asked his eyes pleading for clarification.
"Nick Fury is my father, and B is Bonnie Bennett, my half-sister."
AN: Thanks so much for reading this. This is the first time that I have written fanfiction. A few of the ideas I got are from different Tumblr post. Like Nick Fury being Mercedes father, and Bonnie being related to Mercedes. This story has been in my head for a while now and I just wanted to share it with you all. It's going to include 5 fandoms in a couple of ways. The first three I'm sure you can tell are Glee, The Avengers, and The Vampire Diaries. The other two will be seen in future chapters. So if you liked this story please keep an eye out for future updates. Also like I said this is my first time writing a fic so if you have any helpful tips or suggestions please leave a review and let me know.
