Don't worry guys. More Philinda even though May might be dead. You'll find out why...
The light switched on. Coulson felt May fall heavily into his arms as he yelled for Simmons, but she was already there at her side pumping the blood back into to her body. "WHY DID YOU DO THIS!" Coulson yelled cupping May's face in his hands. Tony Stark manoeuvred his way to the three as Skye and the others ran over too. Of course everyone knew it was Stark so he thought a little magic trick might make their night.
"So. Your poor May." He began in a sing song tone and Coulson turned his head. "You? You did this?! WHY!?" He cried looking from May to him and back again. May winced as she felt Simmons cure her and panted heavily.
"Well done. You figured me out. Ahh. That was all I needed. But I'm not really Stark." Coulson furrowed his eyebrows and realised what he meant when Stark reached for the back of his head and peeled a long thin see through mask off revealed his real figure. Quinn.
Mack and Tripp went straight at him and chucking him onto the floor and beating him. "I..Don't...care..what you...do...to me. I needed...to..kill...her"
May breathed heavily feeling Coulson over her and Skye gripping her hands almost so she couldn't feel them. "Phil..." She managed to croak. "Melinda. Stay with me."
"I'm sorry."
"No. No. Please. Don't say that. No."
"I promised you I'd always have your back. Doesn't seem like I'm gonna have it now." She halfheartedly laughed but choked straight after.
"I love you Mel. Please don't go-"
"Blood pressures going. Something going funny with her system. Sir keep her awake longer your her only hope." Simmons said barely being heard.
"No. Mel look at me okay. Don't you dare close your eyes."
"Phil..."
"No."
May felt a tear run down his cheek and onto her arm. She felt one run down her nose too. "I'm sorry." Then she felt her eyes flutter closed. Phil knew she'd gone but was never going to admit it. "No Mel..." He felt Skye shaking next to him wailing for her S.O to come back. All his memories had a connection to her in some way or another. He had loved her for too long. He felt Maria Hill hold his shoulder, tears in her eyes too.
Everyone whimpered until they heard a loud sniff. Mack behind them was cracking up. If it was a movie they'd all be laughing that he was crying, but this was reality and they all loved May. Even Hunter came over trying to calm Mack down and Pepper, Steve and Clint did too. Coulson didn't look up though. He stared at her face through his watery eyes.
2 days later
The rain poured showering over everyone, leaves whirling round as if being commanded by the wind a puppet master. Coulson stood there. Tears rolling down his face. 'If only...' he thought. Maria stood next to him whilst they both heaved mud to put over her grave. Skye wailed into Trips arms. Everyone he knew, cried.
the night after the funeral
"Agent 66. Doctor Whitehall has cured you and you shall stay alive. For now anyway."
Agent 66 opened her eyes and Bakshi stood before her. "Hydra needs you to get the mask back from the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D meaning you go and find something clever to do, with the help of our new prisoner. Raina."
1 hour later
"So Raina. Do you have any links to S.H.I.E.L.D recently?"
Raina stiffly turned her head towards Agent 66 and answered. "Agent May died."
"Yes. That bastard of a woman. Total bitch if you ask me. So... will you come with me to fish her out of her grave and use her as a prize."
"Umm. Okay."
Coulson sat with his knees in his hands on his desk. He scrunched up his eyes making sure no water leaked through but not succeeding as he let out a wail. He sniffled it up and turned back to the report at his desk. It was hard to take in everything that had happened but sure enough May was dead and there was nothing he could do about it. He heard a knock. "Hey AC. You...coming down...for dinner..." Skye sniffled.
Coulson got up and pulled Skye into his embrace. She wept on his shoulder.
"I did love her Skye."
"I know." Skye managed a stifled laugh.
"Found her!" Raina called out from the other end of the graveyard.
"Good." Agent 66 strolled over to where Raina was standing and scrambled into Mays grave to dig out the body. She came out carrying her as if she weighed nothing and chucked her broken body into their truck. They drove off out of sight.
They got to the Hydra base and took the broken body to Whitehall.
"Well, well, did I not tell you you'd make a good team." He looked from one to another smiling then he leaned over May's body.
"I am going to cure agent May and then you shall take her to Coulson and use her as a trade to get the mask. Understood?"
Both women nodded before leaving Whithall to his business. "Here we go." He began
