Wow I have had these stuck in my head for so long and I finally wrote them down! Time to pat myself on the back while you guys enjoy!

Gotta Go Fast

Elena let's out an extended sigh as she steps off of the car simulated ride. You would think that a ride simulating the testing of cars would be… faster.

Every ride they've gone on has been disappointingly slow. She could jump out, speed to the end and back before the car even lurched forwards a few feet. Yet… her team screamed as if it was the fastest they'd ever gone. To be fair it might have been…

Most of the rides, to be fair, were structured to bring small kids wonder. But even the rollercoaster was slow for her. Yet when she looked over at Daisy on the car ride she had her hands up and was screaming with laughter.

It was a rather strange phenomenon to be able to watch people's expressions as they ride. It seemed to move in slow motion for her. She could easily catch everyone's expressions step by step as they moved along. She could swear at some points she could catch the smallest hint of a smile on the normally stoic May's face.

However when her eyes fall on Mack she finds the lack of speed almost worth it…

His smile is brighter than she has ever seen. It was almost blissful to watch the man relax. It helped that his smile was… beautiful. Even on the streets she finds herself watching from afar as he laughs with Bobbi and Hunter. It was so uncharacteristic for him to allow himself to have fun and enjoy himself. Her heart aches for a second wondering what had happened to make him this way. She hears mention of a name in whispers sometimes… Trip…

She shakes her head watching him let out a laugh as the car lurched forwards.

Maybe she didn't always need fast…

What If?

Okay first it was the ladies in the park singing to her then it was the situation in the pool.

Phil lays on his back on the bad recalling all of the moments the two of them had shared in the past few days. She has said more to him today than she had in months. He found himself smiling as she recalled their adventures in the academy at dinner, then Melinda had gotten in the faux battle with him in the middle of Disney Springs. He watched her with the kids and it was almost like… He lets out a sigh at the thought. It was almost like Bahrain had never happened.

He crosses his arms behind his head allowing himself to imagine it for a while. If Bahrain hadn't occurred he probably could have convinced her to join the Avengers Initiative. She would fight alongside Natasha. She was good enough to fight with them without question. After all, she was trained by a former Red Room operative. Her and Natasha were already such good friends. He would have gotten a kick out of her kicking Loki's ass.

He tenses suddenly at the thought of the god. What if she had found him instead of Fury… Or worse what if it were her instead of him. His chest tightens as his scar begins to burn. She'd bleed out in front of him. She'd die in his arms.

What if Fury didn't find her important enough to save…

"Coulson!" A voice shouts snapping him out of his thoughts. He bolts up hand resting on the middle of the shield on his shirt. He can feel the raised skin beneath the fabric burning his palm. He looks up to find Daisy standing at the edge of his bed. "You okay?"

"Yeah… Just… Forget about it."

A groan leaves the young girl's lips as she flops beside him. "C'mon… You gotta tell me. What's wrong?"

"Just thinking about the what ifs…" He frowns.

"Like?"

"Where's May?" He asks.

"Uh… She went with Fitzsimmons to get take out before we go to the fireworks." Suddenly her eyes widen. "Why? Is she okay?"

"Yes. She's fine." He sighs. "I was just thinking about what if Bahrain never happened."

"Phil…"

"She would've joined the Avengers Initiative with me you know." He nodded. "She agreed to it before it all went down. She would've fought right by Natasha. Now that would have been a sight to behold." He laughs lightly. "But May… She's always been selfless… Too much so. She's taken so many bullets and I think if she would've been there with me…"

"It would have been her instead of you." Daisy finishes for him.

"And I don't think Fury would have saved her." He laughs bitterly. "I was always his favorite."

"Coulson… Don't let yourself get lost in the what ifs." Daisy shakes her head. "If I lost myself with every thought of what if it were you or May who had grabbed me instead of those agents… I think… What if we had been a family…" She laughs. "But things are the way they're supposed to be. May is alive and… in a way I guess we are a family." Daisy smiles. "Well… I gotta grab some grub too." She says moving to stand.

"Daisy… For the record, I'd be proud to be your father." He smiles standing. He swears he can see her bottom lip quiver slightly before she launches herself at him. He wraps her arms around her lightly allowing the smile to reach his face.

"Thanks D.C." She whispers as she pulls away.

"Was it you?" He asks suddenly.

"What?"

"Those ladies that started to singing to May the other day." He begins. "Was it you?"

"Busted." She groans with a small smile. "But I mean come on. You two have been dancing around each other for how long now?"

"Daisy…"

"It's obvious she likes you."

"It is?" He asks, his eyebrows furrowing.

Daisy groans again falling back against the bed. "You guys are more hopeless than Simmons was." She sits back up. "I mean how do you not see it? She protects you. She said to Koenig that after SHIELD fell… She was there for you."

"How do you know that?" Phil asks.

"Uh…" Crap. She had given herself away. "I may or may not have found footage of the questionings to try and practice my lying?" She tries. Phil's simple glance is enough to stop her lies. "Okay but that's not important. What's important is she likes you and you like her. But you two just keep dancing around each other."

"It's not that simple Daisy."

A gasp leaves her lips as she sits up straighter. "You love her!" She exclaims.

He shushes her as he looks at the door.

"Oh my god this is so exciting! You have to tell her!" She bounces slightly making him roll

his eyes

"How?" He shakes his head. "She's my best friend and I've… I've loved her for longer than I can remember."

"You could tell her at the fireworks!" She practically hops up at the idea. "What's her favorite song?"

"What are you going to do?" He asks almost fearfully.

"Just answer the question."

"Can't Help Falling In Love With You."

"That's so perfect!" She cries running out of the room. "Thanks D.C!" She hops up running out of the room just as May steps in. She watches the girl rush off before turning to him.

"Should I be worried?" May asks slowly passing him a bag from DJ's Burgers.

"Not yet."

With You

Melinda settles out sitting on the grass beside Phil. She curls her bare knees to her chest staring up at the fake castle as it switches colors.

"So any hint as to what Daisy's up to yet?" She looks over at the girl excitedly chatting with her boyfriend. She had been frighteningly silent the entire ride to the park. Just vigorously working on her phone.

"Afraid not. But I have a feeling we're going to find out."

"What makes you say that?" She raises an eyebrow.

"Besides the fact that she hasn't been still since we sat down?" Phil asks. "Whatever it is… I'm sure it's going to be good."

"Phil…" Suddenly a voice comes on the speakers giving some sort of introduction to the fireworks. Something about the story of Tinkerbell. However what follows isn't the typical instrumental music to follow the fireworks. She sees Daisy press a button and suddenly the speakers start softly playing a new song.

Wise men say

Only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you?

Her eyes fall on fill, shock filling her face. A guilty smile breaks across his lips. She should've known it was him. He was the only one she had ever told about this song. His smile relaxes into a genuine one as his hand reaches for hers.

Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand,

Take my whole life, too

For I can't help falling in love with you

"Melinda… You are my best friend. But Daisy… She helped me see something this vacation. That this entire team is a family. They're our kids just like you said. There's not a person I'd rather have by my side."

"Phil…"

Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand,

Take my whole life, too

For I can't help falling in love with you

For I can't help falling in love with you

He leans in catching her lips with his as the fireworks explode around them. Yet it's just the two of them. No cheering people. Just Melinda's soft lips against his. Just her fingers gently laced between his. Slowly they part with his forehead resting against hers.

"I love you Lin."

"I love you too Phil."

As the colors rain from the sky he presses her lips against his again, not willing to part from her for a while.
