SHIELD and NCIS United c30

She was surprised to find that they had a SHIELD facility near here where they were taken she was allowed to stand in the observation room as Maria spoke with her family Bobbie was in the room on Sam's request but she wasn't surprised to find her family asking for her. She looked over at Natasha that was staying with her.

"Any reason as to why I can't go in there?" Sam asked

"You know why… You were lucky." Natasha stated and Sam knew exactly what she was talking about.

"They were trying to kill my family." Sam defended, then shrugged as she watched Maria explain what happened and what will happen. Her family listened to her and Ellie knew the procedure for what happens next.

"She will want to debrief you after."

"I know."

"Your leave will be over."

"I know. Man she is going to be pissed."

"Which one your mother or Maria."

"Both…did you find out?"

"I found out who, Nick has them, he is talking to him."

"Do I know who it was?"

"No, they weren't from SHIELD."

"Not SHIELD then who? How?"

"NCIS… Agent Gibbs helped, he is an interesting man." Natasha stated they watched in silence as Maria finished debriefing her family, when Maria left the room Natasha nodded indicating she was allowed to take them home. The drive back to her place was in silence Bobbie was watching her as she drove and noticed how she kept glancing in the rear-view mirror to her family behind her. They were quiet, still in shock over what happened but she saw it in her mother's eyes they would talk about this she was not happy. When they got back inside she saw Sharon leave with another agent she stopped in front of her.

"The house is clear." She stated looking at her giving her a small smile Sam nodded her gratitude as she left Sam entered the house after her family. Bobbie looked at her, giving her shoulder a squeeze they had agreed at the base that Bobbie will give her space with her family so went up to her room to get their things. Her family were waiting for her in the living room all watching her. The only one that gave her a comforting smile was Ellie as she had time to adjust to this already.

"You're quitting." Her mother jumped right in after a small awkward silence had filled the room.

"Mom."

"No I'm serious Samantha, you are quitting and moving home."

"I'm not quitting." Sam replied

"It's dangerous Samantha those men were trying to kill you." Her mother rebutted

"My job is just as dangerous as Ellie's job."

"Hey don't bring me into this."

"I'm saying this as you didn't try getting Ellie to quit you accepted it and supported her."

"She never lied to us. You broke our number one rule." Her father stated

"To protect you." Sam replied more quietly looking down, she knew her family would respond like this, Ellie had warned her when she had found out. "I'm fully trained, and have an incredible partner that always has my back. My organisation has my back, I am in good hands."

"You are coming home." Her mother reinstated

"I can't, this is who I am mum. It is what I do please don't make me choose." She added as she saw the look in her parent's eyes.

"Well I think it's awesome." John stated, "You were totally kickass."

"Jonathon." Her mother gasped

"What you saw how she fought, she looked like she knew what she was doing. And I know that if we tell her she can't we will only push her away. It was three years since we saw her last, I will back her on this if she agrees to stay in contact." He stated looking around the room, "Remember when she was 11 and we told her she couldn't go to the garage, you remember what happened." He added, this made Sam smirk she had went to the garage and fixed dad's broken engine but didn't speak to them for a week after. "Three years." He shook his hands for dramatic effects. She saw her brothers look at each other and saw they were cracking she also saw her father's smirk as he remembered that day. But her mother was still locked jaw and determined.

"What happens if next time I get a call from that Maria Lady and she's telling me you died." Her mother pointed out.

"Technically I think she would come to tell you in person not over the phone…" she stopped as she saw everybody's not amused expressions at that. "Everybody dies. At least if I do die it would be doing something worth it, something important. I like protecting people, helping to keep them safe. And as we have found out recently the world got a lot weirder. Mum please look at me, I am happy…like really happy. This is me and if you can't accept that." Sam shrugged her shoulders she looked down she didn't really know what she was going to do if her mother couldn't accept her the way she is, she just knew she couldn't quit, especially considering she joined Project W017. She was surprised when her mother hugged her holding on tight.

"I only want what's best for you that is all I ever wanted. What is best for my children? I want you to know I love you so much and it is hard knowing that your job is dangerous, not knowing where you are if you are safe…but I see there no changing your mind. So please just keep in contact even if it just to let us know you are alive."

"I promise."

"Do you have to leave now?"

"Yes, it is best until things die down around here, it is best we aren't seen especially by Chris. I had no idea he was a cop. It is best if people don't know, you all know not to say anything and if people do ask I am a piolet."

"We know that Maria covered it pretty well." Her father replied.

"Are we safe, I know I asked Maria this and she said yes but how do you know?"

"The people that know about you won't be a problem, you each have an emergency number to call if there ever is an emergency, and there better be an emergency or you will hear hell from me."

"How do you know they won't be a problem?" George asked

"We have our ways." She replied

"Well that was cryptic." George stated looking to his brothers they shrugged in response.

"Before you go can I touch your gun?" Rob asked

"No. Right I will see you the next time I am in town." She said hugging her brothers then turning to her sister. They shared an understanding look before hugging her parents by this point Bobbie had returned and her brothers wished her luck but still tried to intimidate her telling her to protect their baby sister.

"You know she could take you all down one handed and blindfolded." She told her brothers who seemed to pale at the thought stepping back this made Sam full out grin. "That was fun ready babe?"

"I am going to say it once again Sam you and I have a very different opinion on the

word fun."

Bobbie smirked at her partner nodded farewell to the Bishop family before leaving

the house and returning to their car heading for the quin jet that would be waiting

for them to take them on their next mission.
