Yup, I don't own any thing. Yet. (You know, except Alex and the plot)
Chapter 5
CHRISTMAS MORNING
The first thing I saw when I woke up was Skye's face.
Truthfully, it scared me a little.
"It's Christmas Alex, get up!" she practically yelled.
I slowly started moving, half expecting Skye to blow up from all of the excitement of this one day. As we walked out of my bunk I saw red and green streamers strewn throughout the BUS. Mel ushered me towards the tree where everyone was sitting.
Under the tree there were boxes of all sizes, wrapped in brightly colored paper.
"This one is for you Alex." Trip said looking very excited. He handed me a present with red and green polka dotted paper around it.
I stared at it sitting in my hands, unsure with what to do with it.
"Alex, you are supposed to open it by ripping the paper off." Jemma said in an encouraging voice.
I started to remove the paper and it revealed some Captain America pajamas. Everyone immediately knew it was from Coulson.
I went over to Coulson and gave him the biggest, strongest hug a superhuman 9 year old can give.
Judging by his gasping I think it was pretty strong.

The whole day I had such a big smile on I thought my face was going to be permanently stuck like that. Fitz assured me that it wouldn't happen.
When we were about to start eating dinner, the buzzer that lets the team know that someone bad, is trying to do something bad, went off. Coulson gave an exasperated sigh and got up from the table. As he started to walk out of the room and everyone else followed him. Before I left, I ate a spoonful of mashed potatoes because I felt like we wouldn't get back to them any time soon.
When I got into the control room Coulson was already talking about the mission and looked a little troubled. I walked next to him and tried to look up so I could see the plan except I was too short. I tugged on Coulson's pant leg and when he looked down, I opened up my arms and he got the message. He picked me up and kept talking.
As I inspected the building layout I knew I had seen the building before. I reached down to get a different view. I rotated it to the side and I sucked in a gasp at what I saw.
There was a sign on the gate that I had been staring at my whole life.
"What is it, Alex?" Mel asked.
"The first lab." I whispered back. The whole room went silent.
"Well I guess after we are done with it we will light it up like a bunch of fireworks." Skye said with a scary glint in her eye.
"First, we have to find a way, in and right now, our chances don't look very good." Fitz said solemnly.
"Fitz would be correct," Coulson said, "The front gates are impenetrable, digging would take too long, tricking security is impossible, and they have anti-aircraft missiles."
I messed around with the layout some more and found that something was missing.
"Something is missing from these blue prints." I said. That immediately got everyone's attention.
"There is supposed to be a skylight right here." I said, pointing to a spot on the roof.
"It was directly over my cage, I used to look up at it all the time." I said, remembering the longing I felt because the one thing I wanted to do was be right above the single pane of glass. The whole building was coming back to me now.
"The electricity control panel is right next to the holding area, if that is shut off all of the security goes down" I said excitedly.
"And then we can come in and take the information, free some prisoners, and then blow the place up!" Coulson said as he spun me around a couple of times.
"At least the one 9 year old we get is a genius." Trip said.
"Well there is one problem." Mel said.
"How are we going to get in, in the first place?"
Oh crap.
Hey guys, sorry for not updating as quickly as the previous chapters.
We are getting more into the plot of this story and I promise this will all tie into the Avengers. Tell me what you thought or give me a good plot idea. Anything is appreciated.
Question: Jemma's plague theory about mutant/Skye's DNA: Good or bad? Let me know!
