I own nothing.

Once the video finished she threw the tablet into the wall and it broke into pieces that landed in front of her. She closed her eyes in an attempt to control her breathing and anger. It wasn't working. Maybe a shower will help calm her down and then she can go take care of Ward.

"Where are you going?" asked Coulson.

"I need a shower."

"Really, I thought you'd go after Ward first before showering." said Bobbi as the others nodded in agreement.

"You're right. No need to shower twice since I'll probably have to wash his blood off me. I'll just head out now."

"No." said Coulson moving in front of the doorway preventing her exit.

"No?"

"Yes."

"Then move."

"I meant yes as in no. You're not leaving."

"Why?"

"Because you're still in recovery. If you go after Ward you'll die and that's just what he wants."

"And if I don't he will kill my Mother. There are some lines you don't cross and this is one of them."

"I know that but there's always another way. Let's try and find your Mom and see if we can get to her first, then you can kill Ward."

"Fine. Go get my strong box, it has the locations of where she tends to vacation during the year." she said before walking off.

"I'll get right on it. Where are you going now?"

"I still need that shower."

When she finished showering, she was calmer than she was earlier even though she was constantly being watched as she walked through the base. Coulson put someone on her to make sure that she doesn't leave. The question was: who is her shadow?

"Skye."

"May."

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing. Just letting you know that we found your Mom. She's in Switzerland. Coulson sent Hunter, Mack, and Bobbi to bring her back here."

"Good. Has she been informed of the situation?"

"Coulson told her that we needed her help and didn't say anything about Ward. He kind of sounded afraid of her."

"He always respected her authority and has no reason to fear her anymore."

"Coulson said that Mrs. May is staying in a small cottage." said Bobbi as they drove further into the forest.

"Is there a reason why we couldn't fly there instead of driving into the beginning of every horror movie?" asked Hunter.

"She doesn't want planes on her property apparently it'll ruin her flowers."

They arrived at the cottage which looked like something out of a fairytale. The cottage was connected to a dock that led to a rather large lake. It was the prettiest scenic view they've ever seen before.

"Is this the right place?" said Mack as they get out of the car.

"I hope so but if you see a witch don't take any food from her." replied Hunter.

"You two see if she's home, I'll take the back." said Bobbi walking towards the back of the house.

After knocking, they heard locks being undone behind the door. After the fifth lock, the door opened revealing an older Asian woman.

"Can I help you?" she asked

"Are you Mrs. May? Mother to Melinda May." asked Mack

"Who wants to know?"

"Coulson should have called you about our arrival. I'm Mack and this is Lance Hunter. "

"He did but how do I know that you work for him?" she asked.

"I guess being suspicious of everything runs in the family." said Hunter

Mrs. May rolls her eyes and lets them in after Hunter's comment.

"We need you to answer a few questions for us." said Hunter once they are in the cottage.

"I have to answer some questions. Why in the world would I do that? I should be the one asking you questions."

"We just have to make sure you are who you say you are." said Mack.

"Why wouldn't I be who I say I am. You know what, get Phillip on the phone right now. I'm not going anywhere with you unless I talk to him about answering these so called questions."

"He'd said you would say that and no questions would be needed if you responded correctly."

"Well since I passed, I guess we'll be leaving now. Mack my bags are packed upstairs and Lancel you can escort me to your car."

"Its Lance." muttered Hunter as they walked to the car where Bobbi was standing and watching the pair.

"Are we all set?" asked Bobbi.

"As soon as Mack brings down the bags we're good to go." answered Hunter.

"Why are you so happy?" asked Simmons to Skye as they along with Fitz walk through the base.

"May's Mom aka Mama May is coming here."

"Under terrible circumstances." pointed out Fitz as Simmons nods in agreement.

"True. It shouldn't take a threat from Ward for us to meet her but I'm still glad nonetheless."

"I wonder if she knew Peggy Carter. Also what agency did May say that she worked for?"

"She didn't Simmons. Maybe its one off the books, so secret that no one knows anything about it but those who are in it." said Fitz.

They stop walking once they reach the kitchen and saw Bobbi, Mack, and Hunter sitting at the table.

"You guys got back fast." said Simmons.

"So where is she?" asked Skye practically bouncing from one leg to another.

"She's in with Coulson and May discussing why she is here." answered Bobbi.

"Did you kill her?" asked her Mother who was always straight to point in any given situation.

"No, he just thinks I'm responsible for her death because she looked like me. He thought he killed me but instead it was her."

"What do you mean she looked liked you?"

"She was wearing a mask that can make you look like others." clarified Coulson who was sitting at his desk.

"I never did like technology. So that's why I am here then. This man can't take responsibility for what he did and now he's threatening my life. You should have let him come to me, I would have killed him myself just for ruining my vacation."

"I didn't want you to get hurt besides I needed to talk to you about how Dad died." she said turning in her chair in order to face where her Mother was sitting.

"You know how he died. I told you." she said.

"You didn't tell me that he was killed by Hydra." Her mother closed her eyes and froze after she said this. So it was true.

"Why didn't you tell me? I had to learn that from him when I should have learned it from you."

"You were too young and the older you got I figured it was safer if you didn't know."

"Safer!? Where is that coming from?!"

"Are you saying that if I told you the truth you wouldn't have tried to find the man that killed your father. I know you Qiaolian, you wouldn't have stopped until that person was dead. Especially this past year knowing that Hydra resurfaced in SHIELD."

"Well then tell me now! Who killed him?" She was standing up now and practically yelling at her Mother.

"Why? So when you're done with Ward you can go after him too."

"Why not? I have every right to do so. Just tell me who he is."

"There's no point." No point, no point. How can she say that? Unless.

"When? When did you do it?" asked Coulson understanding what she was just coming to terms with and apparently still in the room. She forgot that he was there.

"Remember those couple of days when I was going to visit you at The Academy? He resurfaced then, that's where I was. He's dead, trust me."

She walked out of the room after this not wanting to say what she was really thinking:

How can I when you hid something so important from me?

Thanks for reading.

Oh no, May's mad. Will she run off and do something rash? Like go after Ward or someone else? I don't know. Maybe. We'll see.

Again I'm open to ideas on what gifts May bought for Coulson, Skye, Hunter, Bobbi, and Simmons. I already have Mack and Fitz's gifts. Leave a comment if you have any ideas.
