Melinda May was sleeping when she received a homing signal from Skye. It took a second for her to realize where the noise that woke her up is coming from and what it meant.

On Skye's first day in College she gave her a watch with a homing device attached to it. With a push of a button Skye can send May a homing signal from any parts of the world.

She got scared when she found out that the signal led to an abandoned house in an abandoned village. She can't help but think of every worst case scenario that's happening to her goddaughter.
Coulson told her of Skye's 084 status, that's why she's become even more protective of her.

That was why May took out her motorbike at 2 am in the morning speeding down the road and possibly breaking every traffic laws.

May did not waste time kicking the door of the house open where the signal was coming from. With guns drawn she called out, "Skye! Where are you?"

"Aunt Mel! We're here at the basement!"

Melinda went rushing towards Skye's voice and saw the door leading to the basement bolted. "Step away from the door!" She yelled before channelling all her strength into kicking the door open.

As soon as the door busted open she was attacked by Skye's tight embrace.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" She asked frantically inspecting the girl for any injuries.

"I'm fine." Skye assured the older woman.

"Good" Once May is sure that Skye's safe, the monster mom was unleashed. "What kind of mess did you put yourself into now young lady?! I swear to god if I have to keep off of NSA's wanted list again I will lock you up in a high tower with no wifi and -"

"Uhm…Ma'am it wasn't Skye's fault. We were locked up by a group of seniors for Freshmen Pranks." She was interrupted by squeamish curly haired boy on the corner. Due to her concern about Skye's safety she barely noticed the two fidgeting teens almost hidden in the corner of the dark room.

"Aunt Mel, these are my friends that's Jemma Simmons and Leopold Fitz." Skye introduced the two, glad for the distraction from May's scolding.

Melinda looked back at Skye and asked, "Freshmen Pranks? You made me panic and rush over here just because you were locked up by a couple of senior students? I told you that that bracelet is for emergency use only!"

"Well, I thought that this constitutes as emergency?" Skye fidgeted under the intense glare of her godmother.

Heaving a sigh, Agent Melinda May internally smacked her head. Despite her aggravation she's very much relieved that Skye's out of harm's way.


May watched the three teenagers devour their burgers, large bucket of French fries and milkshake. "How long have you three been locked in there and how exactly did this happen in the first place?"

"Well, apparently the Freshmen Pranks are a SciTech tradition. Each year graduating students pranks first years for the whole school year." Skye explained.

"We thought it would be a good idea to retaliate against them but it only angered them even more." Jemma continued.

"They invited us to to join their popular club to lure us into a trap. And we've been stuck in there for approximately 4 hours." Leo finished.

"Please don't tell dad." Skye practically begged. Who knows how much trouble Skye could get into once her father found out about her shenanigans. The last thing she wants is for her overprotective father to pull her out of the SciTech program.

"I won't tell your father but that doesn't mean that I'm condoning this. You three better fix this mess and don't try to rely on me for saving your ass again." May took Skye's wrist that holds her tracking device "And for the last time this is to be used for emergency purposes only. Understood?"

Skye nodded meekly not wanting to infuriate her godmother even more. "Finish up your food; I'm going to drive you three back to your dorms.

The moment May parked Skye's van in-front of the SciTech dorm her two friends jumped out of it wanting to get to the comfort of their own bed before they pass out from the days misadventures leaving Skye alone with her godmother.

"What do you plan on doing now?" Melinda asked the teenage girl as soon as her friends were gone.

"What do you mean?" Skye looked back at her godmother in confusion.

"Are you just going to let what they did to you and your friends go without any consequences? That's not the Skye I know. "

"You want me to retaliate? I thought you don't condone this type of childish behaviour?" She smirked

"I don't and as far as your father is concerned I was never here." May answered with mischief in her eyes.

"Well, we are pretty much doomed anyways. Might as well make it worth it." Skye's grin widened as she already had an idea what to do.

"That's my girl." May said proudly kissing Skye's forehead.


"You did what?!" Leo yelled at Skye.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Jemma exclaimed.

"We're already on top of Raina's hitlist so it's not like it would make much of a difference. Besides Raina's got no power over the other two Shied Academy Divisions. She'll never find out what I did." Skye smirked.

Grant Ward did a double take not sure what he is seeing. Shield Ops' Mess Hall, unlike the other two Shield Divisions, is usually quiet with only the sounds of the utensils and small chatters from some cadets.

Shield Ops cadets are known to be disciplined enough to follow the dining etiquette but not tonight. Students are clustered together into small groups laughing uproariously and talking animatedly to each other. He can see some commanders trying and failing to restore some semblance of order and control over the cadets' excitement.

He approached his own group of friends to find out why their school suddenly become an animal zoo.

"Hey Ward! Come over here and watch this!" Tripp yelled to be heard over the noise. He brought up his phone to show Ward a mash-up video of a group of people slipping on the floor and being pelted by paint-balls with a ridiculous robotic sounding music playing on its background.

"What is this?"

"Apparently this is prank of a group of SciTech freshmen against their senior class." Bobby explained. "This viral video was sent to every Shield Academy students including Ops and Comms a few hours ago. Didn't you receive the same message?" She asked.

"My phone's broken, still haven't had a chance on getting it fixed. Aren't you worried that some student has hacked into your phones?"

"Nope. Come on man, lighten up. It's just a harmless video message. Worst thing these nerds could do to us is to spread Hunter's nude photos in the web." Tripp said.

"Hey!" Hunter exclaimed smacking Tripp in the head.

Why am I friends with these idiots again?, Ward asked himself for the millionth time.
