This is basically going to be a series of oneshots about the kids of AOS characters getting in trouble and continue their legacy.
(It's probably not such a good idea for me to start another tory since I still have to keep writing all the other fics, but whatever)

Summary: the story of how Phil Coulson (and everyone else who died at the end of Infinity War) didn't die from the point of view of eleven years-old Margaret Qiaolian May-Coulson.

Please review!

Chapter 1 - When You'r Older

Margaret sat at her desk in her pajamas, flipping through the pages of a book. She heard her bedroom door open and looked up to see her mother walking around the room and picking up random objects from the floor. She sighed "Mom, I'm ten. I don't need you organizing my room, you know."

Her mom rolled her eyes "Who's gonna do it then? You?"

Maggie nodded and closed her book "Yep. in a few minutes".

Her mom chuckled "No. In a few minutes, you are going to be asleep".

Maggie rolled her eyes, spinning around on her swivel chair "But mooooom…"

She shook her head, "I don't care what kind of excuse you have this time, young lady, you're going to bed."

Maggie stood up with a long groan and walked over to her bed as her mother finished folding up a pile of clothes and placing them in the closet. Her mom then came to sit on the edge of her daughter's bed.

"Can I ak a question?" asks Maggie as she curls up beneath her covers, cuddling close to her mother.

"Of course".

"Is it true that daddy died once?"

Her mom frowned, brushing a strand of hair out of her daughter's face. "Where's you heard that?"

"I heard aunt Jemma talking to Daisy."

She sighed and tugged her daughter closer "It's a long story, honey."

Maggie shrugged and leaned her head on her mom's shoulder "Probably means it's a good one".

She raised her eyebrow.

"I'm ten. Don't worry, I won't get nightmares. And dad is fine now, so I know the story'll have a good ending". finished Maggie. She curled up on her mother's lap, waiting for the story.

"Well..." Maggie eyes lighten up.

"Before you were born, your father was… sick, sort of," begun Maggie's mom. "When he finally died, something unexpected happened. He crumpled to dust, littraly."

May sat at the dark, not able to find enough energy to get up and turn on the light. Not anymore.

She couldn't even remember how long she's been sitting there. Minutes? Hours? Have she cried?

She couldn't tell.

She felt so empty inside, mind completely blank.

Because that little precious time they had was over. She knew it would happen sooner or later, she did. But it still didn't make it any easier.

Phil Coulson was dead.
That's all May knew. Nothing else.

He was dead, no pulse and no light in his eyes.

One second he was fine and the next he couldn't breath and his heart stopped, his body dropping to the ground. Cold and still.

She couldn't get the picture out of her head. Especially not the picture of his body literally crumbling to dust, scattering in the cold wind. That wasn't supposed to happen, was it?

May couldn't bring herself to care about that. Or about the phone ringing in the background, even though it was really starting to annoy her.

Eventually she mustered enough energy to reach grab the phone and answer the call.

"Yes?" her voice was empty and emotionless.

"Melinda, thank god, We thought you were dead. Are you okay?" asked Natash's voice.

Maggie stared at her wide eyed, fascinated.
"I didn't know it at the time, but this occurrence was happening all over the world. A random half of humanity was erased from existence."

Maggie pulled the blanket up to her chin "But they're all fine now, right?"

May nodded hurriedly "Of course, honey. We managed to get them all back."

Maggie narrowed her eyes "Who's we?"

"The Avengers helped me."

Maggie's eyes widen even more "But I thought you said The Avengers thought dad was still dead from the first time".

May chuckled "Well, yes. That conversion was definitely… interesting."

"So you're saying Phil Coulson was alive for the past SIX YEARS?!" asked Stark. May huffed in annoyance.
"Yes, he has, Can we get to the point now?"

"No, we can't. Why didn't we know he was alive?" he shouted back.

May ran a hand through her hair, her eyes filling with tears. "Does it matter? He's dead!"
"Yes it matters-"

"Stark!" interfered Natasha. "We can discuss this after we get him and all the other people who Thanos erased back."

May took in a sharp breath, throwing her hands in the air. "How are you planning to do that? That's impossible!" she looked around the room. All those people, The Avengers that Phil once helped to unite - by dying (and if he was there right now he would have probably freak out from being in the same room as Captain America).

"Well…" started the said Captain "We think we know someone who might be able to help us with that."

May raised her eyebrow, not very convinced "Yeah? Who's that?"

"Her name's Captain Marvel".

"But how did you get dad back?"

May chuckled "That, is a story for when you're older."

"But mooom…" whined Maggie

"When you'r older". repeated May.

Maggie groaned and dropped her head back at the pillows "Can you at least tell me what happened after you got dad back?"

May rolled her eyes "Fine. But after that I'm turning off the light."
Maggie stared at her in exeptetion.
May sighed "We reunited, and he proposed."

Maggie huffed "Yes, that I already know. How did he propose?"

May raised her eyebrow "Romanticly."
"And after that?"
May smirked "When you're older."

Maggied rolled her eyes "Mooooom…"

May shifted on the bed "D'you hear that? I think your father's awake, he fell asleep on the couch again."
Maggie laughed "He always does that!"

May smiled and went to turn off the light "Goodnight, Maggie."

But as she started to make her way out of the room a small hand grabbed her wrist "Mom?"
May turned around "Yes honey?"

"Can you just stay here until I fall asleep".
"Of course."
She sat at the edge of the bed, stroking her daughter's hair as the little girl closed her eyes. "Promise you'll tell me the full story?", she asked, barely awake.

May storked her cheek "Of course, honey. When you're older."
