A/N: Let me know if you liked this, I know it is short, but I've been trying to decide where to go with this story. Please let me know what you think and what you want to see next. I want to include more mental health stuff and stuff. Maybe one of the Coulson siblings should for some reason have a conversation with Skye. I'm trying to portray Coulson as the dad type so hopefully he isn't coming off as a creep. Thanks for reading.

"You know Mr. C's hiring at the diner." Skye comments.

"Does that mean you want to work there?"

"Yeah, I mean, you took me in and I feel as though I should do something"

Maria responds looking up from her papers, "If you want to get a job, I'm fine with it, but you don't have to feel obligated because you think you owe me something"

"I want to"

"Okay, do you need help with an application?"

Skye focuses hard on reading the paper.

"Okay done"

Later Phil and Skye are chatting about the open job at the restaurant.

"I didn't know you knew Maria Hill. My wife and I went to college with her, we're good friends." Phil smiles looking over the application, "There's no reason why I shouldn't hire you, so um, yeah, welcome to Mayson's Grilled Cheese Diner"

Smiling Skye grins, "Great"

"Here I'll show you around"

Walking around he shows her the kitchen, and supplies. He shows her the menu and the different ingredients that go into the meals.

Phil is now teaching her how to make grilled cheese when Skye starts a conversation.

"So you wife and you started this place?"

"Yes, years ago. She loves my grilled cheese and she convinced me to start my own restaurant of sorts. I only agreed if she would join me in part of the business, so aside from helping me with the accounting side she also is my appointed taste tester of all my food, besides my kids."

"That's nice-"

"Hey Phil- Oh, who's this"

Skye turns around to see an Asian woman with soft features walk in. She has dark hair and dark eyes with an unreadable expression. She guessed that must be Melinda, Mr. C's wife. She is in workout clothes with a mini bag.

"Melinda this is Skye, a student of mine and my now employee, Skye, this is my wife"

"Hi, Skye, it's nice to meet you," Melinda smirks, "Phil has told me about you and your friends. Quite a good group of kids"

This makes Skye blush at the comment, "Anyway, I was just showing Skye how to make the famous grilled cheese"

"Oooo, should I help?"

"NOOO, Mel you can help with making the sandwich but I don't want you near the oven"

"Oh it was one time"

"One time too many"

Melinda playfully rolls her eyes and looks to Skye, "I accidentally blew up his oven once"

"Blew up!"Skye gasps.

"Yeah, I come back and it's in flames," Phil says, gesturing with his arms to add effect.

"Wow"

"Oh come on," Mel smirks, "Like you haven't ever made a mistake in the kitchen"

Phil laughs, "Oh, I have, but never something like that. That was a Melinda May's specialty."

Melinda just shakes her head lightly as the group laughs.

It's her first day at work, and she is nervous. Mr. C said he wouldn't have her do anything too big today, just waiting tables.

"We-welcome to Mayson's Grilled Cheese Diner." Skye says with a notepad, to a couple.

"Hi, we would like a soda, and an ice tea"

Skye nods, writing it down before walking to get started. She is working with Shawn and Tim, the guys working in the kitchen. Molly and Harrison are helping with orders. They are college roommates that need a part time job. They don't work often.

"H-ere you go" She gently places the glasses down before clearing her throat, "Uh- w-are you ready to order?"

"Yes, I will have the double cheeseburger"

"And I will have tomato soup and cheese toasties."

"Okay, great, I'll be back"

Walking to the kitchen I tape up the order form and say, "Double Cheese, and Tomato soup with toasties"

She goes to another table and does the same thing. It's not bad. The pay is good. Her attitude and mood has been okay so far which was good. The stress was a little high, but it was all okay, at least that's what Skye keeps saying. It's good for her to get out and get a little more uncomfortable to eventually become more comfortable.

"Here is your water"

"Yes, here is your food"

"Yes, your check"

"Oh thank you so much"

"Anything else?"

"1 stack of chocolate chip pancakes, a side order of fruit, 1 stack of blueberry waffles and potato shreds"

"How's Table 4's order"

By the time Skye gets to lunch she is tired. Luckily they get free food so in the back Skye is slowly eating small bites of caesar salad. Jemma and Leo said they'd swing by since it was our usual routine anyway. Finishing the last bit of salad and gulping down the rest of her Dr. Pepper, she gets back to work.

"Skye, hello"

"Jemma, Leo, Trip, what are you doing here?"

"They said they were coming to visit you so I figured why not tag along!" He smiles, "I hope you don't mind"

"I don't, why don't I get you something to drink,

Jemma ordered a water, Leo a juice, which Skye just learned that it is a broad term for soda in Scotland. Trip orders a plain coke and Skye enters that in. Mr. Coulson arrives saying hi to the kids,

"Hey guys,"

"Hey Mr. C" they answered.

"Have you tried our new specialty?"

"What is it?" "Oooo," "Is it new panini bread?"

"No, it is powdered sugar and nutella toast with bananas and strawberries."

"That sounds great Mr. C, I want that" Trip says.

"Coming right up" He smiles walking into the kitchen.

Trip turns to me and smiles, "So how's the working life?"
