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.

Once Clint got the kids settled and returned to the kitchen, they all turned to Coulson. Coulson sighed, folding his hands together before speaking.

"Well, I guess we'll just have to fill in Natasha later," He says with a heavy sigh, "And hopefully we won't be interrupted for a while so... Where do we start?"

"What dark magic is this?" Thor nearly bellowed, "What source in all the nine realms has reversed the damage Loki hath done to you?"

"Wow..." Coulson sighed with a smile at that, "Well, I guess to answer that, we're gonna need to start back when and a bit before the Avengers formed. Director Fury placed me in charge of the T.A.H.I.T.I project, it was a FailSafe."

"A fail safe for what?" Steve asked.

"Incase any of you were mortally injured and all else failed. I was in charge of it, but the risks and the consequences were too great... I was going to resign, and told Fury we had to discontinue the project. But, he didn't take my advice."

"So.. You were subjected to this and now your alive?"

"Yes."

"Tell me Son of Coul, how did this procedure go?"

Coulson sighed, standing up and walking over to a drawer and pulled out a file. He placed it down and showed it to them all, letting them shift through it, "I don't know the entirety of it, but it was surgeries and drugs, the GH235 is alien in origin. It gave me the regenerative quality to heal my heart and keep me alive. However... I was unfortunately conscious during this all, and they reprogrammed my memories so I didn't remember Tahiti or anything except being dead for what is falsely eight seconds."

Bruce shifted through the files curiously, "Does Fury still have this 'Guest House'?"

"It is not being used but it still has security. No one but us will know about this, and none of us will tell anyone else."

They all nod, quietly shifting through the papers quietly, "Does Audrey know?"

Coulson sighed, "I would prefer if we didn't tell this to Audrey. One day I will go to her and tell her the truth, but my death by Loki made me realized something. I don't want to hurt her again, I don't want her to go through that pain again when I actually do die especially if it's in the line of duty. She doesn't deserve that."

They all sat in silence for a long time, no one knew what to say.

May closed the door, looking over at Romanoff with a scowl. She watched the Russian stand there defiantly with her arms crossed like a child.

"What was that?" May asked turning towards the Russian, "What was that Romanoff?"

"A screaming child..."

"Don't give me that," The Asian says looking at her. Natasha glared back at May.

"I'm not apologizing to those brats if that is what you are expecting," Natasha says with a scowl, "I would have expected the Cavalry to have better control of her children."

"And I would have expected that Black Widow to have better control over herself. Those children were not out of line until you started something. Skye was not bothering you, she stopped openly teasing you. Her judgement in giving her childish opinion to Tony was not the best but she is a child, she didn't think you were going to kill her."

"That child was being over dramatic," Natasha says.

"No she wasn't Romanoff," May says looking up at the taller woman, "Do you remember all the fear and pain you felt from the Red Room?"

Natasha shuffled slightly, glaring. But she seemed very unsettled about that being brought up, "What's this got anything-"

"The moment you jumped up and chased her under the table, you struck fear in her. Those kids use to be agents Natasha, they were turned into children and we don't know how. We don't know what those people did to them, or how they treated them except that they're terrified. Do you remember that fear Romanoff? Do you remember it? Because thats how those children felt when you attacked like Skye was gonna kill Barton."

Natasha stayed silent, allowing May continued, "Grant attacked you to protect her. Wouldn't Barton do that for you?"

"yes..." She whispered.

"You better understand where I'm getting at because you caused that. If you were pissed off you could have walked out and let off some steam. But you didn't need to attack a four year old. Do you understand?"

"Yes..." Natasha says.

"Now, if you don't mind, I am going to go downstairs and make sure nothing gets out of hand down stairs. When your ready to be mature and grown up you can come join us," With that said, May turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.

Natasha sighed and took a seat on the bed to compose herself when one thought came to mind, 'Did she just put me in a time out?'

I do agree, The Black Widow needs to lighten up. And she will... But she's scary, tough and you can't just expect her to go to the kids with open arms immediately. Clint, Clint has definitely became their buddy.

And what do you all think? Did Natasha just get put into a time out?
