Thanks for reading. I own nothing
"May stand still." says Skye holding a camera
"Why is it taking so long for you to take a picture? You take one almost every single day with Simmons."
"I need a clear shot for the facial recognition. Are you not going to smile?"
"It may not recognize me if I smile."
"True. Got it and uploading now. Should be good to go now."
"Sorry we couldn't give you a gift Mrs. May." says Fitz as he and Simmons wait by the cars
"That's alright Leopold. Meeting you both was a gift in itself." Mrs. May replies while patting them both on their faces
"Fitz, I actually have an idea of what we can get her. Hand me pen." says Simmons when Mrs. May walks away
"It was a pleasure Mrs. May. Next time you'll have to let me cook." says Mack as he shakes her hand
"You really should Mrs. May. He makes mean lasagna." says Bobbi
"I look forward to it. And maybe next time, the mercenary and I can have a proper two sided conversation." says Mrs. May to sulking Hunter who is already sitting in the car
Mrs. May walks back to the front of the house where Coulson is waiting for May and Skye.
"What are they doing?" asks Mrs. May
"Uploading May's picture for your door."
"I never thought I'd see Qiaolian as an S.O. again. Skye's good for her. So are you Phillip."
"I know. She's good for me too. Both of them. Don't worry I'll look after them."
"Thank you." says Mrs. May as Skye comes out of the house
"May's making sure no one left anything. I just remembered I have one more question to ask you." says Skye
"Make it quick Skye. See you later Mrs. May." says Coulson as he walks towards the car.
"Did you teach May hate-fu? She won't tell me where she learned it from."
"Hate-fu?" asks Mrs. May not understanding Skye's question
"You know, control over your body and mind and all that jazz."
"That is the one thing I didn't teach her. I have no idea where she learned that from."
"Oh."
"I know my daughter told you not to bring back any pictures you find back with you. She however never said that I couldn't give you one." says Mrs. May reaching into her jacket pocket and pulling out an old and worn picture and gives it to Skye.
Its one of May and Coulson when they were younger either before or after leaving The Academy. They were both smiling and laughing at something unseen.
"That was a long time ago. Everything was simpler back then happier even before it got worse. But they got through it and so can you Skye. It'll be okay."
"I know. Thanks Mama May." says Skye while she gives her a hug
"You're welcome Skye. You'll keep in touch."
"Of course, maybe you could come to the base sometime or we'll come up here for the holidays."
"We'll see." says May finally walking out of the house
"Really." says Skye in disbelief
"Yes. Now go pick a car."
"You'll be civil with Andrew won't you?" asks Mrs. May once Skye leaves them
"Of course."
"What is it?"
"I don't like the idea of you living out here by yourself. What if what happened last night happens again? What if you get hurt?"
"I'll be fine Qiaolian. If anyone succeeds in breaking into that house I'll be long gone by then. You've seen the basement. If anything does happen you'll be the first to know. You have enough on your plate."
"I know." says May while looking behind her at the cars
"You've done right by her and your team. You should be proud of them just like I'm proud of you. You've come a long way Qiaolian. It doesn't matter what I think about your line of work. As long as you're happy, I'm happy."
"I'm content."
"Then I'm content. Stay safe."
"I will. I'll call when we're back." says May walking back towards the cars and enters the drivers side of one of the cars.
The cars pull out of the driveway and leave a waving and smirking Mrs. May behind.
"Finally. We're gone. I can't believe I didn't talk that whole time. I hope you're ready May, we got two hours of this." says Hunter from the backseat.
"I am so going to kill Coulson."
Thanks for reading guys. I'm going to post a bonus chapter that has some deleted scenes I guess. I may even reveal what's in the basement. If you want a certain deleted scene, leave a comment.
