THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW AGENTS OF SHEILD!
Disclaimer, I do not own any of the marvel characters.
This story takes place before Ward was hydra and Fitz did not have mental issues. It should take place in the middle of season 1.
On the bus the team was seated in the lab when Phil walked in with a folder in hand.
¨Alright guys, Fury requested that we go pick up another agent to assist us on the bus. Our missions are getting harder and he said we could use the help.¨ Phil said.
¨I thought we were doing quite well on our own.¨ May protested grumpily. Everyone agreed.
¨Well here's the file. I think you might want to get a look before you make any decisions.¨ Phil placed the file on the table and left the room. May grabbed it and began reading.
¨Sophia Keaton, Age 12...¨
¨What!¨ Skye interrupted. ¨Do they really start them that young?¨
¨It must be a typo!¨ Fitz said.
¨No look.¨ May said. ¨The picture in the file looks so young.¨ She was right, the girl was wearing glasses with blond hair and a youthful face. ¨As I was saying, Age 12, Height, 5 foot 2, Weight 90 pounds, sex female, Weapon of choice, knives, and daggers. How mideval of her. Family, mother, father, stepfather, stepsisters 2, half sisters 2.¨ May looked over at Simmons who was on her laptop.
¨Oh My God!¨ Simmons exclaimed. ¨It can't be...¨
¨I think it is!¨ Fitz interrupted.
¨Can someone tell me what the wonder twins are talking about?¨ Ward demaded.
¨That.¨ Fitzsimmons said in unison. ¨Is the child cavalry.¨
¨The what?!¨ The rest of the team exclaimed, May looking especially horrified.
¨She was the youngest to ever graduate out of the operations academy, at the age of 10. Its rumored that she is going to apply to communications next.¨
¨Why become an agent of SHEILD?¨ Ward asked.
¨We can ask her that when we pick her up, which we are most definately going to do.¨ Skye said and she left the room to go inform Coulson of their change of heart.

In the van on the way to Sophia's house, the team sat in sullen silence, each contemplating their opinions on the matter. May didn't want anything to do with this kid and thought that she should stay in the acadimy. Ward was curious but agreed with May. Phil was all in and couldn't wait for someone to add some happiness to the team. Fitzsimmons were ecstatic to meet the ¨child cavalry¨. Skye as usual was curious and couldn't wait to get into this girl's head.
When they arrived at Sophia's home Coulson broke the silence.
¨I feel like I'm talking to kindergarteners here, but best behavior please guys and don't do anything stupid.¨ He opened the door and lead the team up to the front door. When he rang the door bell it was answered by a girl who looked to be about 9 and after one look at May's scowl she ran away. ¨Stop frightining the children May.¨ Coulson hissed and then smiled as a woman walked up to them and smiled in return.
¨I'm Heather, Sophia's mother. She should be right here.¨ Next came a baby, followed by another girl who looked about 6 and the same girl who had opened the door.
¨How many children do you have?¨ Skye asked and Phil glared at her.
¨Five.¨ Heather answered Just as an older girl came up behind her carrying a toddler. The team instantly reconized her as Sophia and she set the child on the floor and shook their hands.
¨I'm Sophia. It's a pleasure to be working with you.¨
¨We best be going.¨ Coulson said. ¨We have to be in the air in 2 hours.¨
Sounds good."Sophia said and she slung her bag over her shoulder and waved at her mother. ¨Ill call you later.¨ and she followed the team out the door.
In the car on the way to the bus the awkward silence had begun again only to be interrupted by fitz.
¨Is it true you are the child cavalry?¨ Ans Sophia smiled.
¨Do they seriously still call me that? I thought it had finally stopped.¨
¨Yeah they do...¨ Fitz responded and then started up again.
¨Are you really going to communications next...¨
¨FITZ!¨ Coulson said
¨Sorry, Sorry, Sorry.¨ Fitz said sheepishly.
When they arrived at the bus, the team dispersed hurried to get away from the awkward car ride leaving Coulson alone with Sophia.
¨Ill show you your bunk and then I will let you get settled.¨ He said and he started up the stairs. Sophia followed him close behind and by the time he had left her alone she was ready to collapse. She checked the clock on her phone that read 10:30.
¨I best be getting some sleep...¨ She mumbled. Before she knew it, she was fast asleep.
Alright guys. I know that was slow and a little bit boring. But the action will begin next chapter. I promise. Send me your good ideas! I really appreciate any suggestions you have for me!
