Chapter 2: She Returned

"He can't be mad May." Coulson said. He was talking to may in his office about the new member that they were receiving for the team.

"Yes he can! He has no idea that she's coming, let alone that she is alone!" May yelled, but in one of those whisper yells. You never know who's listening and this is a particular conversation that is not to be heard.

"May. Yes, she supposedly died in his arms, but he needs to know she's alive. He didn't know for the longest time and I kept that from him and I shouldn't have." Coulson argued.

"That gives him more reasons to be mad at you."

"May. It will be fine."

"If he gets mad, I'm telling him to go after you not me." may said as she turned to leave and go back to the cockpit to get ready to land the Bus.

"Well thanks for the support!" Coulson yelled after her.

Page Break

Back in the loading bay, Skye and FitzSimmons were talking and waiting for their cue to buckle up.

"So...who do you guys think it is!?" Skye eagerly asked.

"I'm not sure, but to be honest I hope it's not another scientist." Fitz said.

"Oh Fitz." Simmons lightly slapped him on the shoulder.

"No seriously we don't need another scientist. We have us, that should be enough.

"You guys bicker about the stupidest things. You know that?" Ward asked as he was coming down the spiral staircase.

Skye smirked.

"Yes we are aware Ward." FitzSimmons said together.

"And that whole speaking together thing is a little creepy." Skye added.

"Buckle up. Landing in 2." May's voice came over the intercom. That was their cue.

They all got buckled up and ready to land.

The team was landing at the Hub. They needed to re-stock, refuel, and pick up the new member. The agent was supposed to be really good. The team still was not too thrilled about it when they heard.

"So is anyone excited about the newbie?" Skye asked everyone.

"No. I like the team as it is." Fitz stated sternly.

"Oh come on Fitz, it won't be that bad."

"Yes it will."

"Stop bickering!" Ward sounded a little annoyed, but yet mad at the same time.

They were all quiet for the rest of the landing.

Page Break

When they landed, they all unbuckled and stood in their spots, like they usually did when they got a visitor, in the middle of the loading bay. Coulson and May joined them about five minutes later. When the ramp lowered it revealed a girl about 23, with mid length brown hair. She was short, around 5'5". She was getting her bags out of the car that had brought her to the Bus. She dropped all her bags and went to the driver's side window. She said thanks and watched him drive off. As soon as she turned around, Ward's jaw dropped.

"Catelena?"

"Hey Grant. Miss me?"
