Every year on April 11th, Natasha and Clint take a "personal" day. No one knows why or what for. Everyone just knows not to object and not to ask why. The only person who ever knew is dead. Or so Natasha and Clint thought. That all changed one Wednesday in July.

OoO

Ever since she could remember Skye had looked for her parents, and always she had wondered why. Why they had ever given her up. She never had a family. She never got attached to anyone, she learned that after a few dozen foster homes gave her up. That all changed when she meet Miles. Skye had thought she had found someone, though in the end he ended up being exactly like the rest, he led her to who she now thought of as family. Miles had led her to Shield. Skye loved her life as a Shield agent, even though she acted like she hated training, the schedule, the rules, Skye knew that she was one step closer to finding her parents. It was Shield who redacted the only file she could find one her parents. It was Shield who had caused her to come to dead in after dead in. And now she was Shield. Skye was closer than ever.

OoO

Skye had asked him weeks ago to look into a redacted file. It was a file that he knew all too well, it was the file that he himself had signed. He knew that he would have to make the call.

OoO

It was a normal Wednesday in the Avengers tower, or at least normal for a group of superheroes. It was one of the rare days that no one needed saving. Bruce and Tony were in their respective labs, and Steve had gone to see the WWII memorial, and Natasha and Clint were sparing. It was a pretty close match, and it probably would've continued had Clint's phone not rung.

"Barton," Clint said professionally.
"Hello, this is Phil, Phil Coulson."
