Disclaimer: I do not own Skye, Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Grant Ward, or FitzSimmons. I only own the variation I have created off of this very popular idea.

I firstly must thank Neeeeeal who, as the author of Turn Back Time, has done such a very interesting and lovely job on their story I wanted to give my attempt of it a go.

However, because I cannot find B.J. Britt's wiki page or his age, I'm going with Ward. But that's not the only reason. It's because with the Hydra plot, I see no room or logical way for this story to make sense. So... It's AUish. Ward isn't hydra. Yay! Because I really did love Ward.

Warning, MAY include Avengers. I upped the rating for my own comfort.

It was all too quiet during the morning. May should have suspected something was up, sure Jemma and Leo were building a puzzle, Skye and Grant were having a Zoomer Dino versus IronMan showdown but that wasn't at all suspicious. Coulson sat on the floor, balancing the task of helping Leo and Jemma, though they would politely refuse, and occasionally join in with Skye and Grant, taking a Captain America toy he got "for the kids" and would help. May, the whole time was reading one of the books that Coulson got her Remains of Innocence. It was a Women's Detective Mystery and Crime book, and it was actually good.

She should have known that the kids were too well behaved. It had taken a few days for her and Coulson to get use to the new agendas and everything, to get use to their ankle biters and pre teen. Every day had it's own surprises, after Tony had left, May had caught Leo and Jemma begging to light more money on fire. It led to Coulson and May needing to find safe scientific activities for them, such as reading their books, the puzzles and looking up safe experiments to do for the entire family. Stuff that Grant and Skye would enjoy.

They were eating lunch, the kids were having chicken nuggets while May and Coulson were eating salads. Leo and Jemma were sharing looks with Skye, while Grant stayed focus on his lunch. It was then that one of the kids spoke up.

"Mummy? Daddy? Can we go see a movie?"

"Sure," Coulson says, "Which DVD do you kids want today?"

"No.." Leo explained, "We wanna go to the theater and see a movie there!"

"Ooh... Oh," Coulson says in realization.

"Please?" They all asked, batting their eyes at him and sticking their bottom lips out. Coulson and May looked over at one another, thinking about it. On the one hand, there were usually a lot of people, it's a dark theater and multiple exits. However it's a dark theater, if they can't see or spot the kids or the threats then their toast.

"They did behave wonderfully at our last adventure," Coulson pointed out.

This in turn made May sigh, "I'll go check what their playing."

The only worthwhile kids movie that May believed all the kids could sit through was Zookeeper. They had a showing at 3 o'clock. When she relayed the movie and read the description in the website, it got mixed reactions but they were still excited. When Coulson told them it'll be better than the description they were sold.

Driving to the movies was a mixture of buckling the kids up and radio music playing with Skye singing along. This time Coulson was driving, placing her behind Grant. Thinking about it now, May noticed that they took the same seat arrangement every time. It was a fifteen minute drivel with Grant sitting patiently while Leo and Jemma sat in the back, talking together in hushed voices. Anything that May could make out was something science related.

"Here we are!" Coulson smiled and parked the car. All the kids unbuckled and climbed out of the car, May and Coulson taking gentle hold of them so they don't get hurt by a car. Leading them into the theater, Coulson took them to get the snacks while May went to procure tickets.

"Ok guys, what do you wanna drink?"

"Red Icee!"

"Water!"

"Lemonade!"

The cashier looked at the four children, who each beamed at him and them quickly added please. Coulson gave a smile, "Make it three waters please."

"Yes sir, would you like anything else?" He glanced at the kids who were talking in a whisper, like they were planning something. When they were done, it was Grant who spoke.

"May we please have a bucket of popcorn, sour gummy worms, gummy life savers, and the rainbow nerds?"

"Right away little dude," The Cashier tells Grant with a smile before looking at Coulson, "Anything for you sir?"

"One of the large KitKats and a pretzel, no mustard."

When May met up with them, she saw Coulson holding popcorn and a pretzel while Grant held three water bottles while Skye was holding a Red Icee and rainbow nerds. Leo was holding a lemonade, KitKats and sour gummy worms, while Jemma held lemonade and gummy life savers. May swooped in, taking two water bottles from Grant, following Coulson as they proceeded to the theaters.

Because there was no one there waiting to take a ticket, they just walked through into their designated theater. The kids quickly got set up, passing one another the candy and opening the packages. Coulson swore he saw the sweetest display among the children. Grant sat at one end, legs folded with little Skye perched carefully in his lap, his water on the right and her Icee on the left. Next to them sat Jemma and beside her was Leo. Coulson sat between Leo and May, both adults looking at the children.

The kids took the candy and began to mix it in with the popcorn, creating the ultimate movie trail mix. Jemma held the candy and popcorn in the middle with a smile, Leo holding the large box of nerds because there was a lot more nerds in there than necessary. Jemma took a stolen spoon, how she got it no one will know and started to mix up their popcorn perfectly. May and Coulson looked at one another, one opening their kit Kat and the other eating some of his pretzel.

Exiting the movie theater, May couldn't help the sigh she had released. Despite Coulson telling her it was a creative and interesting make of the animal talking concept, May felt like it was one of the same old plots. The kids of course loved it, Skye trying to sing the entire song that Bernie and Griffin bonded over, trying to get Grant to join in. It was rather funny, Jemma and Leo giggling at them, especially Skye's stubborn insistence.

"Come on kids," Coulson starts, "Let's go..."

Coulson trailed off though, a focused look on two woman sitting at a table. One was a brunet and the other was strawberry blonde. They looked familiar, but Coulson couldn't see their faces.

"Phil?" May asks, "Everything ok?"

Coulson turned to look at his little group, the kids looking at him worriedly, "Yeah, just thought I saw some old friends is all. Come on let's get going!"

From the tables however, the two woman turned to look at Coulson, May, and the children. The brunet blinked and looked at her companion, at most a mild shock filling her features.

"Holy- Tony wasn't lying to us Pepper... Phil's alive! Thor will be so pleased at this news!" Pepper just nods to the other woman's surprise, conceal a small as best she could as she drank her water. Tony never seemed to lie.

Chapter Thirteen...

While I'm here, I would like to suggest that if you have a chance to read 62 Things The Avengers aren't Allowed to do. It should be with my Favorite Stories as is a similar story for Guardians if the Galaxy.

Beware. Poptarts are the food of the gods. You have been warned.

Now, I do ask that you all review when you can. I'd like some ideas, sort of like Drabble ideas... Nothing specifically linked to a specific character but like... A Sick day or something. Ooh... The very Idea I got for this chapter came while writing this bold part.

I picked Remains of Innocence because it reminded me of May, who lost her innocence and had changed in Bahrain. I couldn't help it. It's like Hawk-Eye, Widow, and Budapest. By the way what did happen in Budapest?

Also, if Pepper is a red head I apologize, I had believed her to be more of a strawberry blonde. As for Jane, he's the brunet is Jane, I couldn't decide between them both so.. My solution! As for how they knew? That's a secret for a later date.
