"If they've been doing what I think they have, Adele is going to have a fit," Kara commented, gaping in shock at the two teenagers.

"She isn't the only one and given that Grant saw them, Kyle is going to be grounded for the rest of the summer," Skye commented ruefully as she watched her boyfriend say something to Lincoln before walking over to where his son and Elena were. His eyes were like hardened pieces of caramel candy and that wasn't a good sign.

"Kyle, go to the cabin and wait for me there," Grant said through gritted teeth before hearing the back door of the main house being thrown open. He saw Adele standing there, glaring at her daughter.

"Elena Maria, go to your room."

Elena rushed into the house while Kyle took off towards the cabin; both teenagers' faces were red with embarrassment, the latter's combined with anger.

Grant waited for Adele to walk over to him, having a pretty good idea what she was about to tell him.

"Mr. Grant, I adore Kyle as if he was my own child but they are too young and things are moving too fast. I am going with Miss Lily to stay with her when she moves to the Hamptons right before school starts and Elena is going with me."

"I know, Aunt Lily already told me about it. Does Elena know?"

"I told her last night and I'm pretty sure that is what caused this to happen."

Adele then turned to walk into the house while Grant went down the hill towards the cabin. His long legs ate up the ground as he marched down the hill, up the steps onto the porch and past Skye and Kara without saying or looking at either woman.

The former quickly followed him inside, hoping to stop father and son from saying something they would regret.

Kara left the porch and walked over to where Lincoln was still standing in the pasture. She smiled at him before motioning for him to continue what he and Grant had been doing before.

"Grant might be awhile, let's see if we can get this done for him so he isn't out here all night," she said.

"As angry as both Grant and Elena's mom looked, I wouldn't want to be those kids right about now," Lincoln commented, wincing at the sound of raised voices coming from the cabin.

"I know what you mean and all of it is a bit of rebellion because Elena is moving to Sag Harbor before school starts."

"You couldn't pay me enough to be a teenager again," he stated with a shudder. "In fact, I don't think I ever want kids."

Kara went quiet and Lincoln had a strong feeling that having children was a sensitive topic for her.

"Hydra made sure I would never be able to have children. Whitehall had his surgeons perform a hysterectomy," she said softly with tears falling down her cheeks. "Please don't tell anybody I told you that."

"I won't. That is nobody's business but yours but I'm sorry that happened to you."

The two of them continued to work on the fences and ignore the slamming of doors coming from inside the cabin.

"What the hell were you thinking? Please God tell me you wore a condom!"

Kyle cringed at the anger in his father's voice before standing up from the piano bench.

"I'm not like you and my mom. I actually did something the two of you didn't do," Kyle snapped back at Grant, whose fists clenched in anger.

"Kyle, go to your room now!"

Kyle saw Skye standing behind his dad, a gentle hand on his shoulder. He quickly realized that he had gone too far and ran upstairs, slamming the door to his bedroom behind him.

Skye took Grant's hand and pulled him out of the cabin, led him over to the golf cart and drove it down towards the back of the property.

"Where are you taking me?"

"You need to calm down and being around Kyle right now will make you do something you will regret."

"Skye…"

"The last time I saw you this angry was when you touched the Berserker Staff, Grant. As much as he did that to push your buttons, you can't hit him."

Skye watched as he slowly started to calm down and smiled as he reached over to place a hand on her cheek.

"Thank you. No matter what he does I don't ever want my son to fear me the way I did with my mother," Grant said gently. "Now do you want to tell me where we are going?"

Skye smirked at him as she continued to drive the golf course deeper into the property. The path got narrower and the area became more wooded before ten minutes later, Skye stopped the golf cart and turned it off.

"On the day that Gramsy's will was read her attorney handed me a letter. She told me to wait to read it when I was alone. It had directions to get to a private place on this land that only she and your grandfather knew about. She told me that sometimes a couple needs a place just for themselves."

She got out of the cart and took his hand, leading him into the wooded area and after five minutes of walking, they came to a clearing where the sun shone through the trees and a small pond with water so clear a person could see through to the bottom.

Skye started to take her grey tank top off and revealed a white cotton bra and reached for the button on the denim shorts she was wearing, slipping her white tennis shoes off.

"Skye…"

"The last time the Berserker rage took over, you turned to May with the promise of alcohol and meaningless sex. How about trying something different and work it out with someone you love? I can take it."

All Grant could do was watch in awe as she took off the rest of her clothes and got into the pond. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life. He was damn lucky she had managed to forgive him because he didn't deserve her.

"Are you going to sit there staring at me or you going to come in here with me?"

Grant quickly pulled off his own shorts and the rest of his clothes before joining her in the lukewarm water and pulled her into his arms, kissing her deeply.

Steve and Natasha were sparring at the base that had been established after the Avengers encounter with Ultron as Tony Stark stormed into the gym.

"When were the two of you planning on telling everybody but Clint that Phil Coulson was alive?"

"How did you find out?"

"One of my father's cousins died and she left me something in her will. My father gave her something back in the forties to be put up and protected. She was giving it back to me to protect it. Who did I see when I walked into the study of her farmhouse but Phil Coulson? So I call Clint to tell him and help me with telling you when he tells me that you told him two months ago after the two of you were called by my cousin Lily to stop Coulson from forcing a young woman to come back to his Shield base. Then I find out that Fury and Hill, with whom my cousin was not a fan of given the fact she called her Fury's lapdog."

"I guess Mrs. Ward was pissed over her calling Grant 'Garrett's Lapdog'," Natasha commented, not wanting to be in the room when her friend was told about that.

"I have done some research on my new found family members and it seems that Grant Ward's mother sold him to John Garrett and Hydra for seventy five million dollars. Is that what the mission the two of you had going on before everything went down with Ultron?"

"Yes."

"I get why the Capsicle helped because he is too nice for his own good but why did you help him?"

Steve shot Tony an incredulous look before noticing that Natasha was quickly losing her temper. Before he could stop her, Stark was flipped to the mats they had been sparring on with Natasha holding his arm tight enough to break it if he moved the wrong way.

"I helped Grant Ward because before Clint saved me, I was Grant Ward; a manipulated soldier who was trained to be a killer before I was old enough to know better. I get being pissed at Coulson but why all of the questions about Grant Ward."

"I want to know if it is worth approaching my cousin about investing money into their business ventures and political endeavors."

Natasha dropped Tony's arm and stepped away from, leaving him to stand up on his own.

"I only have one question: I know about the betrayal and him being Hydra but what in the hell did my cousin do besides that to piss off Coulson?"

"Did you see a pretty brunette sitting with him at the Will reading?"

Stark smirked at Steve and Natasha, the former rolled his eyes before walking over to get a bottle of water for him and Natasha.

"Was Coulson screwing her or something and she left him for Grant?"

"No, Stark. He loves her like a daughter and she was a member of the team that Grant betrayed. She fell in love with him but after the betrayal, she took it badly and hated him for a long time afterwards until circumstances happened that brought her and Grant back together. She left Shield to be with Ward and Coulson wants her back and away from someone he feels will hurt her."

"So this is Coulson being an overprotective father and the girl being a rebellious teenager by choosing to be with the boy 'Daddy' hates with a passion," Stark commented. "He is fighting a losing battle."

All three of them walked out of the gym, talking about other issues as they left.

Lily Ward looked ready to slap Jiaying as the two of them and Cal sat down in the study and discussed how they were going to help Skye with her power.

"Your transition process has helped her a great deal, Jiaying but what part of 'Skye isn't going to leave Grant and Kyle' are you not understanding?"

"My daughter belongs with someone like Lincoln, not a human criminal and definitely not raising his child."

The next thing Jiaying knew, she was being pinned to the wall. Lily stood in front of her, her brown eyes burning with barely controlled rage.

"In case you missed it, Lincoln seems to be interested in my niece and hasn't had even one conversation with Skye. In fact, he is bonding more with Kara than Skye," Lily said tightly. "Skye loves Kyle as if she gave birth to him and that boy loves her the same way. They are a family."

"I want my daughter back with our people at Li Shi."

"Your daughter is grown woman that knows her own mind and heart," Lily stated before sympathy filled her eyes. "Shield should have left your child alone and minded their own business so you and Cal could get your daughter back after what Hydra did to you. I understand why you want Skye with you but in the years you were apart, she grew up and found her own way in this world. Besides if you help me, you get to train your granddaughter and the next generation Ward witch. She will be powerful because of both of our gifts. She will be a beacon for peace and put a stop to Hydra once and for all"

All of sudden Lily felt nauseous and like her entire center of gravity was tilted. She barely felt Cal grab her and lay her down on the couch. Images went through her head of sunlight shining through a forest setting, the splashing of water and both her nephew and Skye lying together on the bank of a pond, holding onto each other and naked as the day they were born.

"I really didn't want to see that," she muttered as everything came back to normal before sitting up quickly and realizing what she had just seen. "She will be here next spring, a perfect combination of her parents, bringing people together and healing old wounds of the past."

Jiaying gave Cal a look of confusion and he leaned over to whisper in her ear.

"She can see everything as it happens and visions of the future. She can also sense power in others."

"An Inhuman Witch; none of our elders would have ever predicted this."

Lily's eyes flew to Jiaying and her eyes turned stormy. Her hand gripped the Inhuman's wrist in a type grip.

"When were you planning on telling me that my late sister-in-law was one of your people that you wouldn't let go through the mist?"

AN: Lily has just exposed one of Jiaying's secrets and more will be revealed in the next chapter. The two of them are going to be frenemies in a lot of ways and Lily really doesn't trust Jiaying at all.

I originally wasn't going to have a romantic moment with Skye and Ward but my muses told me that it was needed. That they needed a moment of peace before everything went crazy.

A lot of people told me they wanted Stark and the rest of the Avengers to be show up more in the story. As for the confrontation, I figured Natasha would be the type to put Tony on his ass when he confronted her and Steve over knowing that Coulson was alive.

Clint already knowing that Coulson is alive is one thing but his reaction won't be pretty when they come face to face.
