To Infinity Skye – I'm glad you like the story so far.
To inomniaparatusellie – Than k you for the constructive criticism, I like to think of the story as more of an episode of the show, that's why it jumps around a lot.
To Guest 5 – It has been over 5 years since the team has seen him, so Grant is a lot different now. Also, I like your idea, that may be the premise of the next chapter. ;)

"Jenny." A voice whispered. "Get up baby girl."
Jenny rolled over in her bed and opened her little eyes. Her sight was meet with her father's face. "Daddy?"
"Hi princess." Grant greeted as he brushed the loose hair out of his daughter's face. "It's time to get up." Grant slowly sat her up against the bed's headboard. "It's time to go to school."
"Kay." She mumbled as she wiped her eyes. "Daddy, can I choose my outfit?"
"Of course." Grant stood up from the edge of her bed. "I'll be cooking breakfast in the kitchen, so hurry up."
"Kay." Jenny watched as her father walked out the door. She slid off the bed and walked over to her closet. She looked at her clothes options. It was no secret that her parents spoiled her. She had a lot more clothes than any little girl should ever need. Jenny looked through her clothes before deciding on a black and whited striped long sleeved shirt, a pair of jean shorts and a pair of black converse. It was obvious Jenny was just as detail oriented as her father.
Jenny got dressed, brushed her teeth and made her way over to the kitchen. She didn't fail to notice the other adults in the room. She hadn't been introduced to any of them and she's glad. The way they treated her father appalled her. She didn't care if they were her mommy's friends.
"Pancakes." Jenny squealed as she ran over to her father.
"Yes princess." Grant caught her mid run and lifted her in the air. "Chocolate ones." He announced as he placed her in a chair by the island.
"Yay." She clapped and he placed one on a plate. He brought it over to her and cut it up into bite size pieces. "I love chocolate." Jenny smiled as she picked up a fork.
"I know you do." Grant chuckled as he placed a kiss on her head.
"Daddy, can you braid my hair?"
"Of course. One or two?"
"One." Jenny answered through her food filled mouth. Jenny saw out of the corner her eyes, the other people watching. Some of them look dumbfounded by her father's behavior. Jenny found no reason why they should be. Her daddy was the best daddy in the entire world. But they obviously had a different opinion of her father.
"Where did you her learn to braid?" Kara smiled as she watched the little family interact.
"I have a twin sister, who had an obsession with dolls when we were kids. She knew our mother was never going to play with her so she asked me to. I got so good that she started asking to do her own hair." Grant told as he tied of the end of the braid with a hair tie. "Done. Okay Jenny, go get your jacket and bag."
"Okay daddy." Jenny jumped off the chair and ran over to her room and picked up her Rainbow Dash bag and black hoodie. She quickly ran to the front of the building to meet her dad and head off to preschool.
"We're here." Grant announced as he pulled his car up to the front of the daycare where Jenny went to preschool. He got out of his seat and walked around to the other side of the car to let Jenny out. "Now, have fun at school today."
"I will, daddy." Jenny giggled as she jumped down to the ground.
"Jenny!"
The two looked up to see Tony running towards them. "Tony!" Jenny squealed as she ran to meet him. They met in the middle and hugged. "Look what I got!" Jenny dug into her backpack and pulled out the Avengers coloring book Coulson gave her.
Tony's eyes lit up with excitement. "Cool! I gots some new colour pencils we could use to colour."
"Purfect!" Jenny squealed. She turned back to her father. "Bye daddy."
"Bye Jenny." Jenny chuckled as he waved goodbye while up against the car. "Take care of her for me, Tony."
"I will." Tony nodded as he grabbed Jenny's hands and ran them towards the building.
"Yah." Grant sighed as he watched Tony help Jenny up the front steps. "They're totally getting married." With that thought, he went to get back into the car.
Inside, Jenny and Tony walked into their classroom. It was filled with colorful posters of things to learn, the kids' drawing and the class pet, Arnold the Hamster. Jenny and Tony were the last two to enter the room and were immediately met by their teacher, Miss Campbell.
Miss Campbell was a young African-American woman with short black hair and piercing green eyes. She greeted them with a joyful smile on her face. "Good morning, Jenny. Good morning, Tony."
"Good morning, Miss Campbell." The two greeted in unison.
"You two ready to have fun today."
"Yah!"
"Good. You guys can put your stuff away and then we can get started with today."
The two friends ran over the little cubbies in the room and put their stuff in the same one before going over to their seats, which were right next to each other.
"Okay, good morning kids!" said Miss Campbell as she tried to get her students' attention.
"Good morning, Miss Campbell."
"Today is going to be a fun filled with colors. But before we begin, we need to…"
"SING THE WELCOME SONG!" The class cheered.
"Right." Miss Campbell went over to the piano in the room. "Ready?" She started playing the instrument.
"Gather round and sit right down
Doesn't matter who you're next to," The classroom sang in unison
"We're a lot the same but with different names
And there's so many things that we're gonna do
You might feel a little bit shy
But we all feel that way sometimes
It's a new adventure
It's a brand new day
Anything can happen
When we laugh and we play
Welcome to this brand new day."
"Good job everyone," said Miss Campbell, "Now let's get started with our lesson." She went over to her holo screen and tapped the board, making a splat of color appear. "This is the color red. Who can name something that is red?" The kids raised their hands with excitement displayed across their faces. Miss Campbell looked around before pointing to "Scott?"
"Apples."
"Yes, apples can be red." Miss Campbell pointed to "Ana?"
"Roses."
"Yes, roses are red." Miss Campbell pointed to "Jenny?"
"Iron Man's Suit!"
Miss Campbell chuckled. "Yes, part of Iron's Man Suit is red. Okay, so let's try and find some other things in the room that are red."
Later that day, the kids had made their way to the playground in the back of the school for recess.
Jenny and Tony were walking around trying to figure out what to play when they heard someone call out "Tony!" They looked over at the jungle gym to see one of their classmates, Donte, standing by it.
"What does he want?" Jenny asked.
"I don't know." Said Tony as he walked over. "What's up?" He asked Donte.
"Do you want to play Avengers with us?" asked Donte.
"Sure!" He turned back to Jenny. "Jenny, do you want to play Avengers?"
"Sure." Jenny said as she started to run over.
"No, she can't play," said Donte.
"Why not?" Tony asked.
"Because she's a girl."
"What's wrong with being a girl?" Jenny asked when she got over there.
"Girls can't do what the boys can do."
"That's not true. Girls can do ANYTHING that boys can do. My daddy said so."
"Doesn't matter. We don't play with girls. Right?" Donte asked as he turned to the guys underneath the jungle gym.
"Right!" They all agreed.
Jenny pouted. "Fine. I didn't want to play your stupid game anyway." Jenny stomped over to the swings where some of the other girls in her class were playing.
Hailey, one of Jenny's friends, noticed the sad look on her face. "What's wrong?"
"The boys won't let me play Avengers cuz I'm a girl."
"That's not nice." Raven, another one of Jenny's friends, said as she looked over at the boys.
"Yah." Ana, Jenny's other friend, agreed. "We could tell Miss Campbell."
"No." Jenny said as she tried to get up on a swing. "It doesn't matter. I can play with you guys."
"Okay." Ana smiled as she started swinging, along with Raven and Hailey.
Jenny continued to struggle to get up on the swing. She was by far the shortest person in the class, so she sometimes struggled to keep up with the rest of her classmates.
All of a sudden, Jenny felt somebody lift her up and help her onto the swing. "Here."
Jenny looked and saw that Tony had been the one to help her. "What are you doing here? Don't you want to play with the boys?"
Tony shook his head. "No, I told them that if you can't play, then I don't want to play with them."
Jenny smiled. "Thank you."
"What are boyfriends for." Tony said as he went behind her. "I can push you if you want."
"Okay." Jenny smiled as Tony started helping her swing.
"You are very nice, Tony," said Raven as she looked at the two. "Too bad, the other guys can't be as nice as you."
"Yah," Hailey agreed. "You guys want to see who can go the highest."
"YAH!"
During the final part of the school day, the kids sat in their classroom, coloring using the different colors they learned about today. Jenny and her friends had each taken a page from her Avengers coloring book and were using Tony's colored pencils to color them in.
"So," Tony whispered as he colored in the Hulk. "Did they find your mommy yet?" Since he was her boyfriend, Jenny thought that he should know what was going on at home.
Jenny shook her head. "No. My daddy is helping out but he hasn't found anything." She stopped coloring in the Scarlet Witch page. "I miss her."
Tony looked over at her, put down his pencil and gave her a hug. "Don't whorry. They'll find her. I know so."
"I hope soob." Jenny sighed as she looked for another color. "Ray, can I use the red next?"
"Sure. I just need to finish coloring in Captain America's shield."
"Captain America?" The five looked over to see the boys from the jungle gym coming over, Donte in front. "Can we see?"
"No," said Ana "You said you didn't want to play with gurls."
"So?" Austin, one of the boys asked.
"So, why should we pay with you, if you're going to mean to us."
"You're playing with Tony." Scott pointed out.
"Cuz he's nice to us." Jenny argued. "We only play with nice people."
The boys looked at each other. "What do we need to do to pay?" asked Donte.
"Apaulogize." Hailey answered.
"What?"
Hailey rolled her eyes. "Say you're sorry to Jenny four being mean."
"Oh, sorry Jenny."
Jenny and her friends looked at each other before leaning forward and whisper among each other. They turn back to the boys. "Okay, you play with us." Jenny pulled out her book. "Choose a page."
"Daddy?" Jenny called as she looked over at her father as she in a stool, watching him cook.
"Yes princess?"
"Are girls not as good as boys?"
Grant turned around to see the look on his daughter's face. "What?" He turned off the burner and went around to stand in front of her. He bent down to her height. "Where did you hear that?"
"Today, some of the boys didn't want to play Avengers with me cuz I'm a girl. They said we can't do what they can do."
Grant picked her up and stood her on the counter. "Listen to me munchkin. You can do anything that you set your mind to. You can do anything that a boy can do… and probably even better than them." He tickled her belly, making her giggle. "Okay?"
"Okay. Daddy, do you know what I can do?" Jenny asked as her father sat her down on the chair.
"I don't know. What can you do?" Grant asked as he picked up the spaghetti he made and went over to the sink to strain it.
"I… I can tie my shoes."
"That you can. What else can you do?"
"I can name the colours of the rainbow and I can spell them too. And I can… Count to 10."
"Yes, you can." Grant nodded as he looked over at her. "Can you count to ten for me?"
As Jenny did so, the team came into the common room. "Wow, that's a really high number," Kara said as moved to sit by Jenny. "Why are you counting?"
"Some boys at school told her that girls can't do what boys can do."
"Which is not true." Jenny added.
"No it is not. So Jenny is telling me the things she can do."
"Really?" asked Kara as she looked over at Jenny. "What else can do you?" Kara poked her in the tummy, making her giggle.
"Um… I can say my full name."
"Which is?"
"Jennifer Jemma Ward."
"Jemma?" Jenny looked over at the female scientist. "Your middle name is Jemma."
"Yup, mommy said she wanted to name me after her best fwiend." Jenny answered as she spun around in her chair.
"She did?"
"She did." Grant confirmed as he finished making a plate for Jenny. "Dinner is served."
"Yah," said Jenny as she picked up her little fork. "I love sketti."
"I know you do." Grant smiled as he placed the plate down in front of her before placing a kiss on top of her head.
At that moment, Coulson came into the room. "Ward, have we made any progress in decoding the dialect?
Grant nodded. "A fair amount actually. I think I may have finally narrowed down the origin. That should help me figure out a sister language, which I can use to translate it."
"Languages have sisters?" Jenny asked through her spaghetti-covered mouth.
Grant chuckled as he picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth. "Yes, languages have sisters that means they have the same start and went in different directions. Italian and Spanish are sister languages."
"Italiano e spagnolo?" Jenny asked.
"Di preciso."
Coulson looked at the child. "She speaks Italian?"
Grant nodded. "And Chinese. Skye and I are determined to get her to be trilingual."
"Daddy, do you think mommy is okay?"
The room went silent as Grant searched for an answer. "I'm sure she's fine, sweetie."
In an unknown location, lied an underground compound that housed an InHuman suppression room. Inside that room was none other than Skye. Her skin was dirty and burned. Her hair tangled together like vines. Her lips chapped from lack of hydration.
Every once in a while you could here the tiniest whisper for help as the salty tears rolled down her face and onto the concrete ground.
Well, that's it for this chapter. We got to see a peek into Jenny's mind and our first look at Skye in a while. What do you think should happen next? Let me know in a review! Let's try and get to 50 before the next chapter!
My recommendation for this chapter is a YouTube channel called "ShaelinWrites". Shaelin is a writer who vlogs about her experiences in writing and publishing. I kinda want to start doing the same thing on my channel. Maybe some writing advice stuff like that. Let me know if you'll check her out by putting the word "WRITE" in a review.
Until next time, don't forget to follow, favorite and review!
Thanks for reading!
