Okay so this story is going to be structured as small one shots. I hope you guys enjoy. I'm terribly sorry for my crappy translations I based it off of my Spanish book. I'm in my third year in Spanish so I'm really shaky on it. I would love it if someone could help me that way I would be able to do some justice to Elena's character. And for those who don't speak Spanish the translations will be at the bottom!
A New Start
It had taken nearly the entire day for Mack to catch Yoyo with a very intense Joey guarding her. He may be smaller but Mack is an auto mechanic and a person who can melt metal can really fuck up the job if he had the right motive.
Boy did he have the motive…
"Yo…" Immediately Mack cuts himself off as he approaches the woman sitting on her bed. "Elena could we talk?" He is met with silence as she continues to stare at the wall as if he wasn't even in the room. "Lo siento mucho." He tries. Still no reply. "Look… I fucked up okay? But we're a team right?" Still nothing. She doesn't even waver. "You gotta understand. It's a part of the job. Coulson's kept secrets before and…" He stops himself as he sees her eyebrows furrow. "Sorry. Forgot you're not fluent." He rubs a hand across his head trying to come up with the best thing to say. Finally in a spur of the moment he blurts out, "Alphie!"
"¿Qué?"
"Before all of that stuff went down… You said you'd get back at me for calling you Yoyo."
"Lo recuerdo." She replies, her eyes finally meeting his. She doesn't even look angry just… betrayed…
"Cuando eramos pequeños mi hermano me llamaba Alphie" He states now avoiding her gaze. "Are we good now?"
"Not good… But better." He smiles as she finds the words she was looking for.
"Well how about a new start? Nice to meet you Yoyo." He sticks his hand out hoping she would take the peace offering. She simply smiles taking his hand in hers and giving it a soft shake.
"Nice to meet you Alphie."

The Metal Mishap
Coulson smiles as they step outside of the bag line. Finally a decent vacation. Of course May looks unamused with having to leave her trusty pistol back at the hotel but she doesn't say anything. Then again the woman is a walking weapon not to mention the four inhumans flaking their sides. If anyone decided to attack, they'd be fine.
"Excuse me sir." Suddenly a man steps in front of him. He has a forced smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes and a badge that shines brightly in the harsh Florida sun. Oh god here we go, he thinks. They're going to be attacked in public. Around so many witnesses. Fitz and Simmons will get the children somewhere safe, Yoyo and Joey will secure them. Daisy and Mack will handle back ups while May and Lincoln likely come to get him. "Would you mind stepping through the metal detector?"
Oh. He didn't expect that… He throws a glance at May, her sunglasses shielding the lethal glare she's sending the cop. She suddenly fakes a smile putting on their cover with not so surprising celerity. "Go on honey. The kids and I will wait."
Begrudgingly he goes with the cop staring at the rectangular doorway. He empties his pockets, only a cell phone his wallet and his keys occupying them. He drops them in the tray before stepping through the doorway. Sure enough the thing goes off. The cop forces a smile even more insisting that he turns his pockets inside out. He does as they say stepping through again. The smile suddenly slips from the cop's face as he pulls Coulson aside. People are staring now. Which is rather unfortunate for the cop who's about to realize what a jerk he looks like as he pulls out the hand held metal detector. Sure enough as he reaches his hand the thing begins going crazy.
May's glare is apparent now, even through the glasses. Lucky enough Daisy holds her back.
With an unamused sigh Coulson unattaches his hand placing it on the tray in the cop's hand.
The cop's jaw drops instantly.
It is rather comical actually, so much so that he hears Daisy snap a picture in the background. He also sees a mother cover her small child's eyes and usher him away. The cop's face goes blood red as he steps through the metal detector one more time and it remains silent. He takes his stuff with exaggerated motions, clicking his hand back into place.
"Will that be all?" Coulson asks.
"Yes. Enjoy your day." The poor man can't even meet his eyes as he pushes him along.
"I can kick his ass you know." May states as they walk side by side.
"I know."

One With the Force
To say that Melinda May doesn't like anything was an exaggeration. She likes flying, she likes her team, she lies early morning tai chi routines. But only Coulson knew what May loves.
May really loves Star Wars.
It had started off as an innocent poking with a fake lightsaber as they were strolling through Disney Springs. In retrospect buying the plastic swords weren't necessary but he insisted it would help the "kids" learn how to fight with whatever spare object they could find.
To be fair it was the truth. The only person on the team who had learned the skill in the Academy besides the two of them had betrayed them… So that's how they came to stroll through Disney springs with nine fake lightsabers. May, of course, tried to look unamused but he could see the glint in her eyes at the suggestion.
As the night progressed she began distancing herself. He found her staring off into the distance. So he took his sword and poked her in the shoulder blade… Repeatedly.
She lasted longer than he expected before suddenly she spins around catching the tip in her hand before he can poke her again.
She's adorable really. Her sunglasses are perched in front of the Mickey ears Daisy had purchased for her. She wears a simple flowered tank top and white shorts that cut off before mid thigh.
"Fight me." He insists.
"Coulson we're in public." She deadpans.
"When did that stop you?" With that she takes the lightsaber in Daisy's extended hand.
The battle has began.
They take turns throwing easy swings that the other easily dodges. Soon enough it escalates however, each fueled by competitive childhood spirit. Their swords clash together as the fighting gets more aggressive. The smirk on her face is something he will save in his memory as they battle against each other.
He swipes at her legs only for her to leap over the sword. Quickly she kicks off the wall flipping over his head and landing on the other side of him. The tip of her sword taps gently against the side of his neck as he drops his own.
"I win." She pants.
Suddenly the street bursts into cheers. Within their miniature fight they had seemed to gain a crowd watching them. Sure enough he spies several cameras recording them. He turns offering Melinda a courteous bow. With a roll of her eyes she returns the gesture.
"That was so cool!" Daisy exclaims rushing up to the two of them.
"We've had practice." Coulson laughs running a hand across his glistening forehead.
"Can you teach me how to do the wall jump?"
"You have much to learn young padawan. Melinda here is one with the force." He pretends not to notice Daisy's excited smile at his use of May's first name. He can't help but stare as Melinda shines a true, genuine smile for the first time in a long time.
