I own nothing.

They were laughing in the common area when May walked into the room. She looked very upset about something but they knew better than to ask what happened.

"Hunter, you are to watch my Mother at all times. She doesn't leave your sight."

"Does that include when she showers?"

"What do you think?"

"You'd think she'd be a little more cheerful now that her Mom is safe here with us." said Hunter after May stalked out of the room.

"Well she would be but Ward is still out there and she can't do anything about it because she doesn't have her full strength back yet." said Simmons.

"So what you're saying is that she'll be back to her happier self when Ward is dead." pointed out Mack.

"We'll all be happier when he's dead." said Fitz before Coulson and Mrs. May walked into the room both looking rather upset.

"Did something happen?" asked Skye

"Everything's fine. Where's May?" asked Coulson.

"She left after rudely ordering me to keep constant watch on Mrs. May." answered Hunter. "Which I will gladly do with no complaint."

"I expect nothing less from you Hunter. Skye, Simmons show Mrs. May to her room and get her whatever she needs. Bobbi, Mack, and Fitz: I want constant patrols in the hangar. Sleep in there if you have to. No one leaves the base. Hunter, you already know your job. Just make sure that you are outside Mrs. May room when she goes to bed."

She and Simmons split ways after they helped Mama May (she can call her that now). Simmons left to go find whoever would listen to Peggy Carter stories that Mama May told them. Simmons practically fainted when Mama May said that Peggy would like the both of them. Now she was trying to find Coulson in order to see if she was still on May watching duty.

She checked his office, May's room, and the kitchen. He was no where to be found as was May. She would have checked the hangar but Mack, Bobbi, and Fitz locked it down ten minutes ago. No one was allowed in unless they had a good reason to be in there.

She continued to walk along the hallways until she reached the gym. The door was closed and she was about to open it when she heard voices. May's and Coulson's. Guess they're discussing something classified so she shouldn't eavesdrop. Wait a second, if it was classified why would they be discussing it in the gym and not Coulson's office. Classified or not eavesdropping is wrong.

She won't stay long.

"I know you're upset." That was Coulson. She knew something bad happened earlier.

"Upset. You think I'm upset."

"Well what else would you call it after learning that your Mother was killing the man who murdered your Father instead of visiting you at The Academy. Especially since you were so excited that she was visiting."

Mama May did that, no way.

"You know I thought she forgot about it so I didn't talk to her for weeks."

"I remember it took her almost getting killed on a mission for you to talk to her again. How long are you going to wait this time?"

"She lied to me Phil. She's never lied to me about something this important before unless it was about her job."

"You were just a kid May."

"Don't you dare say that she was trying to protect me."

"Fine I won't, even though she was."

"Okay so not telling me that she killed the guy was also for my protection then."

"I don't know. Maybe she just didn't want you involved in any of it."

"Involved? He was my dad I was always going to be involved."

"Before Ward said anything, did you have any idea that she lied to you."

"I knew something wasn't right about what she said, about how he died. She told me it was a heart attack but we had security details on the house a month after he died. Why would we need a security detail for that long if it was just a heart attack?"

"You had security details and knew what they were that young?"

"I could always spot the holes in them."

Seriously, even child May was amazing.

"I envy your childhood. If you knew what really happened, you would have gone after him. She was right about that."

"She's right about everything."

"You would have hunted him down after the academy and when Hydra resurfaced you definitely would have found him if he was still alive. Maybe she wanted to protect you from that."

"I've killed before."

"Not fueled by anger and not in cold blood. You kill to protect and she knows that and she didn't want that for you at any age."

"Maybe but when I kill Ward it will be fueled by anger."

"As it should be and I highly doubt that she would blame you for that."

"Fine I'll talk to her."

"Good now let's find Skye. She's probably wondering if she's still on Maywatch."

Maywatch? She wished she could she May's reaction after he said that. Maybe she'll catch the security cameras later.

"Maybysitting?"

Nope.

"I'll stop."

"Thank God and there's no need to find her. She's sitting outside eavesdropping."

She knows? How does she know? She's been silent this whole time. May can't see through doors or can she?

"You don't know that. I would have heard something too. Our normal wager?"

"Deal."

The door was opened as soon she was trying to make it look like she wasn't eavesdropping. She wasn't that lucky.

"There you guys are. I searched the whole base and couldn't find you anywhere."

May had her skeptical face on and Coulson seemed to believe her.

"Really? So if I check the cameras they'll show you standing out here the whole time."

"Yes. I mean no. Fine, I was eavesdropping."

May grinned in triumph while Coulson handed her five dollars.

"That's all I have on me at the moment. I haven't been to the bank lately."

"So am I still on May duty?"

"No head off to bed. I'm not going anyway tonight."

Sometime later that night in an unknown location.

The others sent him to find the Boss because he was the only one the Boss liked. At least that's what the others thought, it was hard to tell. The Boss was a little unstable and its hard to tell if its going to be a good day or a bad day. They received an unscheduled visitor so hopefully it's going to be a good day.

"Is there a reason you're bothering me Jerry." said the Boss sitting at the head of a table. There was another chair at the other end. One for the guest probably.

"You have a guest. She's with the others."

"Well why didn't you bring her in here?"

"Its not her, its an older woman."

Thanks for reading. Who do you think is Ward's guest? I know who it is, but do you know? You probably do.

To those who left gift ideas thank you, I was able to think of ideas for the team. The gifts will appear in the final chapter.
