(Trip is 26, Lance is 23, Grant is 22, Leo is 20, Jemma is 20, Skye is 18), Avalyn is 12 and Liam & Juliet are 5. + Avri is 8 and Amidala is 8-months-old.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, watch it!" Leo rushed into the lab, heading directly to the table where Jemma was working at. "That's the night-night gun."

"Well it's on my side of the table and it doesn't work," she said, giving it to him. "And there's no way we're calling it the night-night gun."

"How can you say it doesn't work? You haven't even begun working on the bullets," Leo pointed out, looking at the gun in his hands. "They gotta be non-lethal, with a heavy stopping power -"

"I'm not Hermione," she rolled her eyes. "I can't create instant paralysis with only 0, 1 microliters of dendrotoxin."

"You could try," he grinned, leaving the gun on his side of the table.

"Agent Fitz?" an agent called by the lab door.

Leo turned around, "Yes?"

"Could you accompany me? You are being called for questioning. "

"For que – what?" he furrowed his brows, a puzzled expression on his face. "Questioning?"

"What is going on?" Jemma asked, standing by Leo's side.

The agent walked in and gently grabbed Leo's arm, pulling him in the direction of the door, "Agent Fitz?"

He sighed and looked back at Jemma and then at the agent again, "O – okay, let's go. I'll be right back, Jem," he said over his shoulder as he was being dragged out of the lab.

Jemma was confused and tried to think of every motive as to why SHIELD wanted to question Leo about. Not really understanding the motive for such request, she decided to call her father; perhaps he had answers.

"Dad, something strange just happened," Jemma began as soon as Coulson answered the phone. "An agent just came to the lab and took Leo for questioning. What –"

"I know," Coulson sighed.

"You know? Dad, what's going on?"

"It's best not to speak about this through the phone. We're all in the hall by the Wall of Valor. Can you –"

"I'll be right there."

When Coulson told her they were all by the Wall of Valor, he really meant all as in everyone in the family. Trip, Grant, Lance, Skye and Bobbi (who was now Lance's girlfriend and mother of their baby girl, Amidala) were there, standing by Coulson and May's side.

"What's going on?" Jemma was a lot more worried now.

Trip draped his arm around Jemma and cuddled her close to his side, "Jem, it's…"

"It's about Leo's father," May said, realizing that Trip couldn't get anything out. "We arrested a couple of HYDRA agents. All of them told us that Leo is the son of their boss' right hand man."

"So what? They could be lying."

Skye looked down at her feet, "He was found at a HYDRA lab."

"He was abandoned at the age of three," Jemma claimed. "What can he possible remember or know about him?"

"We thought the same. SHIELD checked a couple of things and… the two of them have been in touch in the past years," Coulson swallowed hard.

Jemma clenched her fists, "You think that Leo –"

"No, of course not," Coulson reassured her. "We don't think that Leo is HYDRA, but he might not know that his father is and he might be manipulating him."

"Have you interrogated with his father?"

"I was questioning him," Bobbi said, "until he bit a cyanide pill. He's currently on life support."

Four days had gone by. Bakshi was still on a coma and Leo was now in a cell because he wouldn't talk. Jemma had volunteered to take charge of Bakshi's care and was now coming to check on him in his room when she saw Bobbi leaning on the wall right next to the door, apparently waiting for her.

"You can go home, Bobbi," Jemma said. "Avri and Ami need you."

"Hunter's home with the girls," Bobbi told her. "I'm just going to keep you company."

"You don't think I know that my dad asked you to keep an eye on me? I'm not gonna hurt him. All I want is for that bastard to wake up and talk since Leo won't."

Bobbi sighed thoroughly, "Alright. Keep us posted on his condition."

"I will."

Jemma and Bobbi parted ways. As soon as the biochemist walked in the room, she sensed that something was different. She took a few seconds to attentively look at Bakshi, not being entirely sure that he was sleeping. He opened his eyes and turned his head.

"You're awake. Finally," Jemma blurted.

"I didn't know SHIELD had such high regards for my well-being."

She rolled her eyes, "We do when we need information from you. Do you know for how long you've been unconscious?"

"Not a clue."

"Four days," Jemma told him. "You put ideas in Leo's head –"

"I didn't put ideas in his head. Leo took the initiative –"

"He was questioned. Has been in a cell for the past four days. He won't talk about whatever your plan was."

Bakshi swallowed hard, "I wouldn't do anything to hurt him. He had a plan, I gave him the tools."

"Plan for what?"

"Bring down HYDRA."

Jemma leaned forward, her pupils dilating in anger, "If you want to dismantle HYDRA, why don't you talk and save us the trouble?"

"I stand with my beliefs."

"Even if they're wrong beliefs?"

"It depends on where you stand, but there's no right or wrong when it comes to convictions."

"And you're willing to put Leo's life on the line just because you believe in what you do? You, who abandoned him when he was three, telling him that you are a bad person? If you really care about Leo, you don't want him to get a glimpse of your world."

"Things got messy back then. I never wanted Leo to follow my life path, even though several HYDRA members praised him and could already imagine him as their next leader. I believed that he had the right to choose what he wanted to be. If had had the chance to raise him, I'd have sent him to border schools and I'd keep him away from my world. My beliefs don't have to be his beliefs. I… " Bakshi looked down and kept quiet for a while until he felt brave enough to admit it, "I believe in what I do, just like you believe in what you do."

"But are you willing to throw Leo into this battlefield? If you talk, you can spare him the pain."

"Why are you laying this on me? I'm just the sperm donor. You can clearly tell I'm not the wisest person to give advices. Talk him out of it."

Jemma shook her head, disappointment in her voice, "He won't listen to anyone. He's sure that you won't give us any information so he wants to fight this battle by himself… You know, Leo still believes in you. Be the person he thinks you can be; it's not too late."

"Arrange us a meeting; I'll talk him out of the idea of bringing down HYDRA. I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Pleased with the answer, Jemma got up and was ready to leave.

"Agent Simmons?" Bakshi called, stop dead in her tracks.

"How do you –"

"Leo's talked a lot about you," he explained. "Once I talk, I'll be dead. HYDRA's everywhere and I don't want… I don't even know if my death will affect Leo at all, but I don't want him to feel guilty. Don't ever tell him. Tell him that I was relocated to some high-security place and that he'll never have the chance to see me."

She swirled on her heels, "As strange as it may sound, your death will upset Leo. Rest assure, I'll never tell him. I don't want him to suffer, especially because of you."
