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.

Coulson stood at the mahogany platform, the worlds biggest smile on his face as reporter cameras flashed all around him. The agent felt like the happiest person in the world, there was a beautiful dull roar from the crowd and the sky was perfectly cloudless. It was a beautiful spring day in New York, and standing beside him on stage was his hero and role model. Captain America, standing there with nothing but blue jeans and a white t shirt held his famous shield in hand while smiling. It was then that Captain America gave a speech about Coulson, about all the good things he's done and everything he's done for the Avengers and SHIELD. He was going to award Coulson with the ultimate Greatest Samaritan prize ever. His shield. But just as he was about to get it-

Coulson grunted, feeling a bony little knee digging into his stomach. He blinked his eyes around in the darkness, turning over to see May looking right at him and then at the Kim that was hidden in the space between them.

"I think we have a stowaway," He says reaching for the edge of the blanket.

Coulson assumed it was Leo, Jemma or Skye. He assumed that the younger kids would flee to them for solace, but instead they saw Grant hunched up under there, staring at them with wide big eyes. Immediately, Coulson reached down and pulled Grant gently up into his arms and tried to calm him down.

"Grant, it's ok now, it's ok now," Coulson whispered as May sat up. Grant looked like he had seen a ghost, shaking and trying to not cry. But the little eleven year old couldn't hold it in anymore and he turned to Coulson and cried into his chest. Coulson immediately rubbed his back, while May got up to get Grant some water.

"It-it was horrible," The eleven year old cried, "I-I was being chased by-by zombies and- just when I think I lost them- the earth starts to sh-shake. And-and suddenly I hear Skye screaming as zombies start to eat her Jemma and Leo..."

Coulson shushed him, as May made him sip some water. May sat on the bed, feeling bad for the kid and reached out for him. Coulson gently transfered Grant as May rubbed his back softly, whispering encouraging words to him. Coulson watched quietly, taking in how gentle May was with Grant.

"Shhh..." May whispered, lulling Grant to a sleepy haze, laying him down so his head was on the pillows. Grant yawned, hiccuping just a bit.

"Shh, don't worry, we won't let anything happen," May whispered, slipping under the covers with him. Grant hiccuped as he felt Coulson rub his back.

"Phil and I wont let anything happen to you, it's ok. It's ok, you can go back to sleep now."

"Don't leave me..." Grant whimpered sniffling, "I don't want to be alone."

"We won't," May whispered, watching Coulson before pushing Grant's hair back. Grant snuggled into the mattress, leaning into her hand.

"Go to sleep," Coulson whispered. Grant nods, eye lids growing heavy.

"Goodnight... I love you mom and dad..." Grant whispered in a sleepy slur.

For a moment, the two agents look at each other in shock by what Grant said. He and always called them by their first name but now... He called them mom and dad. They looked down to see that he was already fast asleep and smiled softly. Grant finally warmed up to them.

"Goodnight Grant," Coulson whispered, before shifting a bit to get comfortable a bit. Ok, so the kid ruined what could have been the greatest dream ever, but this was worth it. This was definitely worth it.

Leo woke up really early the next morning to see Grant was missing from his bed. The six year old, curiously got out of bed and entered the hallway. At first, he went to the stairs, thinking Grant was playing video games but not a single sound came from downstairs.

With his lip sticking out, the scot quickly ran to his mummy and daddy's room to tell them, only to stop in the doorway and see Grant slowly climbing out of bed. He gave May and Coulson kisses on the forehead before walking over to his little brother and took his hand.

"Come on Leo, let's go play video games while mom and dad sleep."

Leo followed his older brother, glancing back at their sleeping parents. For a moment he was curious why Grant suddenly started to call May and Coulson mom and dad but the mention of Disney Infinity quickly caught his attention. And the previous thought was forgotten.
