I do not own Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. All right go to Marvel.
Shout out to 'epicgeek32100', guest, 'Ari FitzSimmons', 'MysteryAsianNinja', and 'f00f00' for reviewing. Thanks to epicgeek32100 and Grammar Nazi Bot 300 for their constant support and beta-ing.
Most people, my Father included, thought that Maya Hansen was dead.
She wasn't.
While Killian had shot her in Miami, he hadn't hit any vital organs. Maya had been bleeding out and would of died within ten minutes if she hadn't grabbed the Extremis injector right next to her.
After quickly reconfiguring it so that the dosage wouldn't kill her, Maya stabbed herself in the shoulder with it. Over the course of five very painful minutes, trying to stay quiet, she had stabilised. She said that forcing Extremis to reconstruct cells immediately surprisingly increased the change of stabilisation.
After noticing my brilliance in online biology and chemistry courses, she had offered to personally 'tutor' me. We had become great friends, and come up with a formula to cure her together in half the time it took my dad.
But now I needed her help.

"So you think they combined my serum with Dr. Erskine's and a deconcentrated formula based off Dr. Banner's? Do they realise how dangerous that is?"
"I fear so. But you know what these kind of people are like, Maya. They will literally stop at nothing to get what they want. I just hope that we can develop a compound to neutralise everything without any side effects."
Maya sighed.
"Send me an analysis over our encrypted link. I'll have a look and tell you what I find."
"Thank you Maya. I owe you one."
"Bye, Skye."

"So, I have an associate who works with this kinda stuff. She had a look over the Centipede Serum and said that we need a sedative strong enough to both neutralise and stabilise the Serum at the same time. We also need to make sure that it is weak enough that it won't kill the subject."
"Skye, who is this person?" Jemma asked me. "Not many people have such extensive knowledge of Bio-Chemisty, let alone are not working for S.H.I.E.L.D." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Coulson frown. As much as I trusted him, he couldn't know that Maya was alive. I had to draw his suspicions away from her.
"Well... They may have had experience with similar Serums before. And even a few run-ins with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Army." I wasn't lying that much. Maya had gotten into that mess with the president.
"Skye, it's not Dr. Banner is it?" Coulson asked me. "You know how dangerous that man can be when he gets angry."
My eyes widened in surprise. I did know Dr. Banner, as wrong as Coulson's ideas were.
"Maybe... But it's up to them to reveal their identity. I don't want to betray their trust." While everyone didn't seem to satisfied with that answer, it seemed that it would work for now.

"So Skye, I think that dendrotoxin would work as a suitable suppressant, if we added some other components. The sedative aspect of it is the thing most likely to stabilise Extremis, and will knock them out so that they don't feel any pain. We can add something else to neutralise the Gamma rays and Rebirth serum."
"That'll work." I replied. "We can use my non-lethal ESIs as a base, and work with Fitz to produce a delivery mechanism."
"ESIs? What are they?" Jemma leant over the bench, getting interested now.
"It's a little something I created incase I needed to get rid of someone without killing them. The Enemy Silencing Injector delivers a does of 0.1 milligrams of Dendrotoxin in a shell that breaks up under subcutaneous tissue."
"That's ingenious! A non-lethal and harmless invention to render the target unconscious without any side effects. I can't believe that I've never though of something like this before!"
"Fitz has." I smirked. "He just has no idea on what to do for the Biological aspect and didn't want to ask us incase we thought it was stupid. Don't worry though," I winked at Jemma. "We can use this as an opportunity to get to know each other."
She did that insanely cute blush again. I was just too good.

"Oi, Fitz!" I called out to him. "Jemma and I have a little project for you." He walked over.
"What is it?"
"Your night-night gun, how effective do you think it would be if you had the right compound for the shells?" His eyes widened. "I hacked into your blueprints. Jemma and I need a delivery mechanism for our Centipede anti-serum and we think the night-night gun might work. And we are so calling it that, by the way."
"Well... Once you have the formula and dosage size, we would have to build the central casing and chamber to fit it..." We went into a large amount of technological babble that you people won't understand. "So it'll take us and hour or two for a structural prototype, then another three to synthesise and assemble the actual parts."
"That sounds good. When do we start?"

After four and a half hours of careful work, Fitz and I had completed our 'little project'.
The night-night gun was about the size of a regular handgun, although slightly wider to accommodate the different size of the dendrotoxin compound shells. It had a sleek silver finish, with that fancy electric blue paint lining the different components of the gun. Leo had reckoned that it looked to dull and 'Ward-like' without them, and I had totally agreed.
Jemma had also finished the dendrotoxin compound. Right now, she and I were filling one hundred specially created shells with the formula, while Fitz was in his room, probably tinkering with designs on his tablet.
"So, what do you normally do for fun after you and Fitz finish work for the day?" I asked Jemma.
She seemed rather stunned by the question. "Well, ah, we normally just hang out- watch movies, play chess, that sort of thing."
"Sounds fun. But you should see what my dad and I do. You and Fitz would almost wet yourself." Since Skye was remembering memories and staring into the wall, she missed Simmons once again blushing, this time over the words 'I do you', and 'Wet yourself'.
"Skye, just who is your father? You are always talking about him and obviously look up to him a lot, but only Coulson knows who he is."
"I can't tell you, Jemma." Skye reached over the table to grab her hand, and Jemma's fading blush returned full force. "Trust me, I would tell you, but my father has enemies. I can't tell you for his protection, as well as mine and yours. Maybe when we go on vacation, you can come to my house." Skye gave a mischievous smirk. "And you never know what will happen before that."
Jemma really could never remember blushing so hard or often over the course of two days.
AN: Sorry for taking so long in this chapter. My school just started Exams and I've been swamped with revision. I apologise if any of the technical terms are incorrect. I'm in high-school and really have no idea about engineering so I'm just writing what makes sense to my imagination and what I can take from the movies and series. This chapter is a bit of a filler but I promise action will be back in the next one. Skye's parentage will be revealed to the team in 1x06 'FZZT' and Skimmons will pick up then (hint hint).
