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.
May sat downstairs, staring at the three children sitting before her. Jemma was hugging Skye, rubbing her back in an effort to calm her but her hiccups refused to stop.
"Mummy? Where did Grant go?" Leo asked, curious.
May turned to the little scot, sighing, "I don't know."
"Mummy? Why did Grant jump out the window?"
"Because he hates me!" Skye cried, answering Leo before May could answer.
"No..." May says carefully, "I don't know why Grant jumped out the window, but he does not hate you Skye."
Skye sniffles, nodding as she buried her face into Jemma's arms. Jemma held her, rubbing soothing circles into her baby sisters back.
"Can I jump out a window Mummy?" Leo asked with a smile, wanting to copy Grant's actions, "Grant looked so cool doing it!"
"No, absolutely stop," May says, trying to not snap at Leo but the child was trying her patience. She exhaled deeply through her nose before taking a seat in the nearby chair, watching her "children" with a careful eye.
"Mummy?"
"Yes Leo?"
"Is daddy going to bring Grant home," Leo asked softly, eyes wide and full of worry. May blinked, looking at him with a sympathetic expression. Well, as sympathetic as May could be.
"Yes..." May says, there wasn't a doubt in her mind that Phil was gonna bring Grant back home, sort this out and then punish him for even thinking of running away.
Coulson drove down the street, the small figure ahead of him increasing in size as he got closer. Grant glanced back at Coulson, trying to run faster and only tripped. Seeing Grant crash to the ground, Coulson pulled over and ran over to him. He was soaking wet and muddy from the rain.
"Grant, are you-" Grant only shoved him away, causing Coulson to just lift him up and place him in the car. Grant gave a feeble whimpers, clearly scared about the consequences he was about to face. However, Coulson quietly drove back to the house, the car doors on child safety lock.
"Phil?" Grant quietly spoke, "I'm really sorry... Please don't lock me in the closet or hit me."
Coulson nearly swerved off the road when he heard that. But he kept his cool and slowed down until he was at a stop. Coulson turned to look at Grant, watching the boys fearful and guilty expression, full of penitence.
"Grant..." Coulson whispered, "Is that what they would do to you there? Hit you?"
Grant hesitantly nodded, "Yes... They-they would split us all up, they'd send me to this small room and make me fight. Whenever I did something wrong, they would hurt me or punish me."
"Grant... We would never punish you like that. I want you to understand that ok?"
"But I'm still in trouble..." He whispered.
"We will discuss that at home."
"Ok..."
May glanced up when the front door opened, looking over to see Coulson and Grant entering. Coulson and Grant were both soaking wet from the rain, but the younger boy was muddy all over.
"GRANT!" Leo ran over, hugging the eleven year old and nearly knocking him off his feet. Grant awkwardly hugged him back, glancing over him towards May and Skye. Skye was blinking her tears away, watching him quietly.
"Come on you two, let's sit down and talk," Coulson says walking over and placing them both on one side of him. Grant precariously on his left and Skye on his right.
"Ok, so why don't you tell me about what happened?"
"I wanted to play house with Grant, and I said the magic word too!" Skye says, "Bur he kept saying no."
"I've been playing house with Skye for the past three days, I just wanted to read my book," Grant explains, "Skye didn't respect my decision and I-I got mad and let it get the better of me."
Skye nods, Coulson giving a sigh, "Ok, now Skye, did Grant politely ask you to leave him alone?" Skye nods, "Ok, then you need to respect that and find another play mate ok?"
"Ok..." She whispered.
"And Grant, if you have a problem with your little siblings you can always come to me and Mel, you don't need to worry about punishments for it. We'll all try to work it out in a fair way ok?"
"Ok.."
"Now, running away is never the answer. You could have gotten in serious trouble, and you gave us a really bad scare," Coulson starts, but seeing his guilty sad face he eased up, "I will have to punish you, ok?"
"Ok..." Grant whispered.
Coulson looked at Grant, "I was thinking no dessert tonight, does that sound fair?"
Grant nods, "That sounds more than fair."
Coulson smiled, "I'm glad you agree, now let's get you into dry clothes mister, your covered in mud!"
I counted 61 Please's! So SweetPeaKayla got it right. But really close everyone. There was Chapter 16. I don't know if anyone would like to know but I have started to write an Avengers story :D
Im gonna do what I can with my chapters, I may ditch Yin Yang Hydra, yeah I know I say that every other chapter. I will hopefully update Littlest Agent ASAP hopefully Friday or something.
