I own nothing. Enjoy.
"You can't leave."
"Why? You gonna stop me."
"No, but I am and I may even enjoy it." says Bobbi standing between Garner and his car
"Andrew good, you met Skye and Bobbi. Come on in. You can head into the study when you finish meeting everyone else." says Mrs. May grabbing Andrew's hand and leading him to the living room
"Everyone else? How many people are here?"
"May you have good taste. Skye, you coming to see Simmons' reaction to the good Doctor."
Skye shakes her head no and heads upstairs as May calls after her but gets no response.
"I'll go get her." says Mrs. May walking up the stairs after Skye
Once May enters the living room she sees Simmons staring at Andrew with her mouth wide open and Fitz trying to get her to close it.
"So I think he still hates me. Where's Skye and your Mom?" asks Coulson approaching May keeping his back to Garner
"He probably does considering he's giving you the death glare. Upstairs. She's upset that I didn't tell her. What did you tell them?"
"That you were married and it just happens to be to Garner. Let's just say they were all shocked. Hunter almost laughed at the idea. Why is he giving me the death glare and not you?"
"Not to interrupt your lovely conversation but am I here for a reason or is this some elaborate prank?" asks Garner
"This would be some prank though wouldn't it." says Simmons from her seat
"It probably is. I mean May making us all drive up here, having dinner with her Mom, me not being able to talk, and learning she's married to you of all people. I mean I know there are hidden cameras here somewhere. Let's watch it and have a good laugh." says Hunter thinking that this is actually a prank
"You're not supposed to talk." whispers Fitz looking at May who looks like she could kill Hunter at any moment
"You've done it now." says Mack who moves closer to Bobbi and away from Mack
"Its not a prank. We need your help." says May looking at Garner with seriousness
"Didn't my daughter tell you not to go in rooms unless your invited into them." says Mrs. May walking into May's room only to find Skye laying on the bed
"No, she said don't enter any closed rooms and this one was open. So no rules broken. Why didn't she tell me?"
"She has her reasons for doing things. That's what we have in common." Mrs. May replies before sitting on the bed
"You're talking about your reasons about you not wanting her in the field."
"I can see what Qiaolian likes about you. You're right though about me not wanting her in the field. My daughter she protects people it what she does. Especially when its for those she cares about. I always protected her as a child and did my best when she got older but their was a time when I learned that I couldn't do that anymore."
"Bahrain." says Skye as she sits up next to Mrs. May
"Phillip told you then. We still have no idea what happened in there but I thought I lost her. I almost lost her but I didn't and since then I knew I never wanted her back in the field because I worry it may happen again and I'll lose her for good."
"That won't happen though. We protect each other."
"I know and I've seen that but I still worry. I have my reasons for doing things and she has her's. She will always put your well being above her own no matter the cost. Talk with her after Andrew. Now come on downstairs." she says standing up from the bed
Skye follows her lead and loops her arm around Mrs. May's and heads downstairs.
"Now that I've got you alone. How do you feel about nicknames?"
"So she can cause earthquakes because of some mist." says Garner once he, May, and Coulson are in the study
"Yes. It's rather complicated but Skye's gotten better at explaining it." says Coulson
There's a knock on the door and Mrs. May and Skye walk in.
"Sorry for leaving. Mama May and I had a chat. Don't worry I can call her that now. May, there's no need to apologize. I think I understand what you were trying to do, you might have to clarify it for me later though."
"Come let's leave them be." says Mrs. May walking out the door
"I'll be fine. Go on, I think FitzSimmons are working on their project again. Don't want them to start another fire." says Skye pushing Coulson and May out of the door
"She understands? What did they talk about?"
"I don't think she'll tell me even if I ask."
Bobbi is in the living room when May and Coulson enter.
"Mack is making sure FitzSimmons aren't starting on fire. Hunter I believe is in the kitchen on dish duty with your mother. She's talking his ear off."
"Good. Now he'll know what it feels like." says May sitting next to Bobbi
"You should have seen Simmons, her plate and jaw almost hit the floor."
"I'm not telling you anything about my relationship with him."
"I don't expect you to but I can see it. A young you and a young him. Very hot." says Bobbi smirking at May and a now coughing Coulson
"What? I don't see it." says Coulson
"That's because you're a guy." says Bobbi
"No. It's because I prefer to consider what's on the inside not just what's on the outside."
"They never got along did they?" asks Bobbi
"Nope." replies May
"Hey. I always tried to get along with him. He always had an issue with me."
"So do you have any questions for me? I'll talk to Coulson and Melinda about times when we can meet." asks Doctor Garner to Skye once their session finished
"Nope. As long as your willingly to help."
"Even though you just learned I was married to your now S.O."
"Yeah. I'll wait for May will tell me about it. I don't want to anger her."
"That is probably wise."
"What we talk about though that's just between us right?"
"Yes. Even SHIELD allows doctor patient privilege. I'll only tell them about your progress and whatever else you want me to tell them. But Skye you can tell them whatever you want them to know if you want. What you told me about what you think about them, you should tell them."
"Maybe. I'll send them in." says Skye walking out of the room and into the living room where Bobbi, May, and Coulson are chatting
"He wants to see you two. Where are the others?"
"The patio. You guys go join them, we may be awhile." says Coulson as he and May walk to the study
"I think its safer if you come to the base for your sessions with Skye. Just in case. It's either that or May has to come with. " says Coulson
"Why is that?"
"I'm the only one that can calm her down successfully if her powers get out of hand. We'll reimburse you of course." says May
"She told me that. You two have gotten close. Both of you."
"Do you have a problem with that?"
"No. Its fine. I think its good for her and you, Melinda."
"I hear a but coming, don't you hear a but coming." says Coulson glancing at May
"I know you're one of the best and you wouldn't endanger her or your team but you told me you were never going back into the field. You took yourself out for a reason Melinda. What if you… " says Andrew not really wanting to finish his sentence
"What if I what Andrew. What if I snap? I think about that everyday. That it could happen at any moment and if I come close I'll take myself out. I'll go back to a desk." answers May in a deadly tone
"Okay. Even though we're not married anymore doesn't mean I can't worry about your well being. I'm going to go to say my farewell to your mother." he answers and leaves the two
"My desk. Don't argue May, you're practically in charge half the time anyway. If that should happen to you, I'll take care of you no matter what happens. It's what we do." says Coulson facing May with a slight smile before walking out after Andrew
"What's wrong? Why are you guys in here?" asks May when sees her mothers face after she enters the living room.
"The alarms been tripped, someone is coming. Fifteen minutes out."
"I thought this place was off the grid." says May walking over to a table reaching underneath searching for something
"It is. No one knows about this place. You must have been followed. I moved the guns. Try under the couch and I'll get the ones from the coat closet." says Mrs. May walking towards said closet pulling out some weapons
"I wasn't followed and if anyone was followed it was Andrew. Phil with me, we have to move the cars. Morse, Hunter after we move the cars make sure there are no tracks then get on the roof." says May before she flips the couch over
"Skye, Mack make sure no lights are on. One of you in the kitchen and the other in living room. They shouldn't be able to see you because of the two way windows but stay out of sight."
"I'll take the other two with me to the surveillance room. Lockdown will be in five minutes." says Mrs May as she starts to hand the weapons from the closet
"What about me?" asks Andrew in disbelief that this is actually happening
"You remember how to shoot?" asks May handing him a gun
"Yeah and I wasn't followed. I know a tail when I see one."
"Sure you do. Stay with Skye and Mack."
I wonder whose coming to the house. Leave a comment
