I do not own Agents of Shield. I know it's short, but I can't think of anything more for this chapter. I hope you like it!
May couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about that little girl. Who was she? Where did she come from? There was no footage of a little girl coming into the base, so she must have teleported or been teleported. May hoped that she didn't have powers. Jemma had told them that she wasn't inhuman, but her blood was "extremely odd to say the least". A/N LIly is not inhuman. She was born that way. She'd said that she might be onto something, but so far, she hadn't told anybody.
Suddenly, a loud, upset voice filled the air. "It's one o'clock in the morning!", Fitz almost shouted, breaking May's thoughts. It wasn't quite loud enough to wake anyone up, but, knowing that kids make light sleepers, she went to check on the girl. Most likely, Jemma couldn't sleep and she wanted to test something. Fitz probably woke up and decided to check on her or possibly the little girl. Not finding her, he went to the lab. She knew the rest.
As May neared the little girl's room, a small whimper could be heard. May's face changed from tired to alert and worried in a millisecond. She opened the door as quietly as she could, making sure the child was alright. The poor girl was shaking so much, Daisy would be jealous. May rushed to her side and threw her arms around the quivering figure. "It's all right," she crooned, hugging the girl gently as she started crying. "Everything is alright. It was just a bad dream." Slowly, very slowly, she stopped crying. In a hoarse but enchanting voice the red-eyed girl asked, "Can you read me a story?"
May looked at the little girl, obviously surprised. "A story?" She asked, not quite believing what she was hearing. What time was it, one o'clock in the morning? The little girl nodded. "It's the middle of the night!" May exclaimed. "You need your rest." The little girl looked at her with big, sad puppy-dog eyes. May sighed. "OK." She said reluctantly. "Only if you tell me your name?" "Lily." The girl said. "I'm Lily."
After only half of the three little pigs, (why they even had the three little pigs was beyond May) the little girl was sound asleep. Book in hand, May quietly left the room, a gentle smile on her face. She was closing the door, when someone from behind her said in an amused voice, "You too, huh?"
May spun around, nearly decapitating Coulson. "Never do that again!" she hissed in annoyance. Coulson maintained a straight face, but his eyes revealed that he was just barely holding it together. "I couldn't sleep." She told him without being asked. "I heard something, so I checked on her." He nodded; knowing whom she meant. "She told me something." May continued. "Oh?" Coulson asked; his eyebrows raised. "Her name." She replied. "Her name is Lily."
Back to the future
"What do you mean you met Lily thirteen years ago?!" Ward half-shouted. "She wasn't born thirteen years ago!" Jemma sighed. How many times was she going to be yelled at today? She'd prepared exactly what she was going to say, then Daisy had scared her to death by screaming her lungs out. Now Ward was yelling at her. Jemma waited until he was done. "Daisy had just finished reading a story." She told him. "Lily was told to use her power and she disappeared. Am I right?" Silence. Then, in a shaky voice, he said, "H-how did you know that?" Jemma said patiently, "She told me. Your daughter Lily traveled in time."
So, how did you like that? Please review! I will try to post again tomorrow.
