Chapter 4: The Invasion
When Piper and Blue arrived at HQ, the team was waiting for them in the conference room. When they entered the room, all eyes went to Blue. "That has to be her," Jemma said saying what the others were thinking.
"I found her in a van parked in an ally-way beside a restaurant," Piper told them.
"She was, now, was she?' "She wouldn't happen to have been hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D, would she?" Jemma asked jokingly.
"She was," Piper told Jemma.
"I couldn't get in though," Blue admitted, "but why in the world did you bring me here?" she asked.
"We think we know who you are," Coulson told Blue.
"How could you?" "No one knows who I am," Blue told them.
"Because May and I are missing a daughter about your age and you look a lot like our other daughter," Coulson replied gesturing to Daisy.
"You think you're my parents?" Blue asked May and Coulson shocked. May gave a short nod.
"If I can take a blood sample, we can find out," Jemma told Blue.
"Okay," Blue replied and let Jemma take some of her blood.
When the results came back, Jemma showed them to Blue, proving they were a match. "So, what's my real name?" Blue asked her newly discovered parents out of curiosity.
"Melody April Coulson," May said answering her daughter's question.
"Cool, I'm going to start going by my birth name, now that I know what it is," Blue, now Melody told the team. "What's my birthdate?" Melody asked.
"July 2, 1988," Coulson responded.
"I'm 30?" "That's so messed up," Melody said. "I thought I was 29," Melody explained.
Two hours later, they had gotten to know Melody better and had begun to see the similarities and differences between her and Daisy. Melody also decided to join S.H.I.E.L.D after Coulson explained what it was about. Because of what the crystal could do, they had decided to find out where it came from. The team was sitting around a table when the question arose of what to call the crystal.
"Why don't we call it the sky crystal because it's sky blue," Kora suggested. Everyone agreed that it was a fitting name. Jemma whispered something to Fitz, who whispered something back and wrote the name down on the file in pen but instead of spelling it s-k-y, he spelled it s-k-y-e and handed it to Mack. When he saw how he spelled it he laughed.
"Did you spell it that way on purpose, Turbo?" Mack asked.
"Yeah, of course, I did," Fitz replied smiling.
"How did he spell it?" Sousa asked. "S-K-Y-E," Mack replied, making May, Coulson, Jemma, Bobbi, and Hunter laugh. Daisy just rolled her eyes not amused.
"What's so funny?" Melody asked not getting the joke.
'I used to go by Skye, and that's how I spelled it." Daisy explained.
"And it's your crystal," Melody stated starting to understand the joke, but not seeing how it was funny.
"Excuse me, Director there's a man at the front desk asking to see his daughter Daisy, he says his name is Calvin Johnson," an agent said coming into the room.
"Send him up," Mack told the agent. A few minutes later Cal burst into the room, exclaiming,
"I need your help! Earth is going to be invaded!"
"Wait, what?!" Deke asked. "Earth is going to be what?!" Deke exclaimed as the others just stared.
"Yes, I did get my memory back, the procedure was meant for humans, and I'm not human," Cal explained.
"You're not?!" Daisy asked shocked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you didn't I, my bad" Cal apologized to his daughter.
"I'm part alien?" Daisy asked.
"Part alien princess, but yes," Cal replied
"Where did you come from?" Cal asked noticing Melody for the first time.
"She's my and May's daughter," Coulson replied.
"Oh, that makes sense now," Cal said.
"How in the world do you understand already?" Jemma asked Cal confused.
"I'm crazy, not dumb, I knew they were putting someone's DNA in Daisy and since those two, look so much alike, I put two in two together," Cal explained.
"I think we got off point," Mack commented.
"We did?" everyone asked in unison. "You said something about an invasion?" Mack prodded Cal.
"Oh right, the invasion," Cal said remembering why he came. "I was the king of the planet Crystalla until my younger brother overthrew me, that's why I came to earth because he wanted to kill me, anyhoo, now he wants to destroy the earth because I'm here," Cal told the team. "Hold on mate, I thought you said he wanted to invade earth not destroy it," Hunter said confused.
"I did first he will invade earth trying to hunt me and any of my heirs down, then if he can't find us, he will get mad and destroy the earth," Cal explained.
"So, he's even crazier than you are," Hunter stated.
"When we go without a certain chemical in our atmosphere or being in contact with one of our Esor Eyks crystals we go crazy, which is why I gave my crystal to Daisy when she was born, we didn't know if she needed it." Cal clarified. "Obviously she doesn't."
"Esor Eyks?" Deke repeated confused. "That's sky rose backward, we call them that because they are sky blue and rose pink in color, our language is English backward," Cal explained.
"What do you want us to do about it?" Coulson asked.
"I was hoping that you would help me overthrow my brother, who overthrew me, so I can stop the invasion," Cal told them.
"Why would we want a crazy man in charge of a planet," Bobbi asked.
"We don't have any proof that he would still be crazy if he came in contacted with the crystal," Jemma pointed out, "he did just say it was partly because of the crystals."
"Let's find out," Daisy said and handed the crystal to her father.
"I'll need to run some tests to see if your sane again," Jemma told Cal.
"While you do that, we can all take a short break," Mack told the team. Once the tests were done, they gathered in the conference room.
"Cal is completely sane now," Jemma announced.
"How long before the effects of the crystal wear off?" Daisy asked Cal as he handed the crystal back to her.
"Two weeks, there's plenty more on Crystalla, so I can easily attain a new one if you take me there," Cal said.
"I don't see much choice, if we're going to save Earth because there'd no way we're going to send Daisy away and hope that her uncle doesn't know about her," Mack said.
"And I'd hate to have to explain to Alya why her favorite Auntie can't come to visit," Fitz added. "That settles it we'll leave in Zephyr three in the morning," Mack concluded.
"Wait, won't we stand out?" Deke asked.
"Oh, yes I already thought about that and had clothes of all sizes smuggled out," Cal told them.
