I dance in the car seat with legs in the air as Toxic by Rihanna plays through the plane. Within seconds there are guns trained on me and Coulson visibly falters when he sees me.

"Hi, Coulson," I wave. " Remember me yet?"

"Your feet are on the dash. You're touching Lola," He frowns.

"Sorry," I jump out of the car.

Coulson glares at me," It took me a while to recognize you, you've grown a lot. You definitely talk a lot more. Stand down, or we will shoot."

I quickly glance at their weapons,"Dendrotoxin. Smart. How about we do this the easy way, where you don't use those and I don't make a mess." I glare back at Coulson and it turns into a game of intimidation. I need his help, so I break the stare and put my hands up." I need to find someone."

"Give me one good reason I should even consider helping you."

I bite my lip, " Because I'll answer some of your questions truthfully."

"Some?" He arches an eyebrow

"There are some things, that I can't answer," I negotiate

Coulson mulls it over," I'll bite, who do you need to find?"

"Her name is Skye. She last worked at SHIELD before the Fall but she went dark after that," I explain." She's my cousin."

Coulson turns around so I can't see his reaction then he whispers into an agent's ear who promptly runs off, "Remove all your weapons ."

Fair enough, but still annoying. I groan in frustration and reluctantly take out every weapon I have which takes a few minutes. Once I'm done I push the pile away with my foot.

"The backpack and sunglasses too," He orders.

"I'm not really comfortable with that, but I promise that I won't harm anyone on board," I bargain. "I'm not in that business anymore."

He sighs, "Fine, follow me."

I smile and follow him through the huge plane. I memorize every room as I pass, it's a habit I was forced to learn. Coulson stops in front of a glass door. There is a man and a woman working side by side on a computer screen. Before we go in I turn to Coulson," I'm sorry for what I did back then. It was never my choice."

Coulson was the only one standing among a group of disabled SHIELD agents. "You don't have to do this. Stand down, we can help you."

I faltered slightly, "You're wrong. You can't help me."

"Yes we can, just stop this," He pleaded.

I shook my head and a voice rung through my ear, "You know what will happen if you don't complete this mission."

I lunged forward and started attacking Coulson aggressively.  He put up a good fight but in the end, I left him with broken ribs. 

He nods and opens the door for me. The pair is so engrossed in their work they don't realize that Coulson and I are behind them. Coulson coughs," Fitzsimmons, this is Amelia."

"You can call me Emily," I quietly correct.

The female of the pair smiles brightly while the man looks confused, they introduce themselves in sync," Fitz." "Simmons."

"I need a DNA test, she's claiming to be Skye's cousin," Coulson directs." She's number five on SHIELD's threat list. I'll send Bobbi in to debrief her." After he finishes talking he leaves the room.

"I've been told repeatedly that my social skills could use some work," I awkwardly start." But he died. So is he a clone or something?"

Simmons laughs," No, dear, he is the original copy." She tells me in her British accent.

"Um, are we not supposed to wonder why a teenager is on SHIELD's threat list?" Fitz questions with a Scottish accent

"It's in human nature to wonder. But I don't like talking about it," I warn him in a gentle tone.

Simmons claps her hands together," Okay! We should get this test done. I'm guessing you prefer a cotton swab to a needle."

I nod my head," That's fine, perfect actually."

"Open up." She commands. I obediently opened my mouth as she takes a swab and extracts saliva from my mouth. She hands the swab to Fitz who immediately starts running it. "It's exciting to think that Skye has a cousin, she'll be delighted. Her life is very complicated right now, I'm sure this news will brighten her up."

"I doubt it," Fitz murmurs." You have interesting music choices."

I grin," My uncle taught me that trick, except he prefers AC/DC."

"Yeah, thanks for that. Now, I have to fix the mess you made when you tore through my system," He scolds sharply.

"Don't worry about that, I cleaned it up for you and even upgraded your firewall," I smirk, leaving out the part where I downloaded all of their files.

He stares at me in disbelief and checks his computer, "How did you manage this?"

"Uh-" I start to answer but get cut off by someone else entering the lab.

"I thought I'm supposed to be asking the questions," a blonde woman comments as she walks in with a clipboard.

She stands in front of me with a smile on her face," You must be Emily. I'm Bobbi, Agent Coulson wanted me to debrief you."

She's trying to establish trust and trying to get a read on me. Which means that she's an experienced interrogator. She's an expert at telling people who are lying. The perfect spy. I plaster a fake smile on my face, "Ask away."

"What's your full name?"

"Amelia Rebecca Banner," I answer, giving myself my grandma's name as my middle name.

She writes it down," That's a beautiful name. I never liked my name, Barbara. I thought it made me sound old. Did your mother give it to you?"

"No, she only thought of me as a weapon. My past handlers were my biological mother and step-father," I reply coolly.

"Do you have any idea where they are currently?"

"Dead," I plainly state." I went on the run after their death."

 I sigh in extreme annoyance."Let's speed this up. I don't know why my parents made me into a human weapon. I don't know why I targeted SHIELD,  I'm really sorry about that. I live with my biological dad and his friends, who just happen to be the Avengers. Sorry, I really don't enjoy interrogations, especially not from people who try to manipulate me."

She blinks a few times," Did you just say your dad is an Avenger?"

 The computer dings and Fitz walk over to check the results. "Relative match. She is most definitely Skye's cousin," He announces, the room falls deathly silent. All eyes are on me.

"My family is very unusual, I guess." My phone starts ringing, I hold a finger up and answer it.

"Hey kid, how's it going?" Tony asks over the phone.

I look around the SHIELD lab I currently am in," Um, I'm good. Tell Thor that Sif says hi."

"Yeah sure. Listen Bruce is acting weird. I think he's worried about you," Tony informs me.

My eyebrows knit together, "He knows that I can take care of myself."

"Doesn't stop him from worrying. Everyone's been on edge except me, I've been enjoying the peace in the lab without a kid in there."

 I ignore Tony's comment, because, after all this time, I'm still not used to being worried about. It is such a weird feeling to have people constantly worried about me.

"I will get back to the Tower really soon. I have one last thing I need to do, it shouldn't take too long. I'll see you soon Tony."

"Whatever, I just want things back to normal here. Over and out," The phone clicks off.

I put my phone away and face the group. They stare at me with shocked expressions. Fitz stutter, pointing at me," W-was that-uh."

"Tony Stark?" Jemma finishes for him.

"Yeah, I have to go back soon," I tell them, they continue to stare at me.

Coulson walks back in," Bobbi, what's taking so long?"

"I think they may be in shock," I mumble.

"What did you do?" Coulson asks pointedly.

"I told them the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," I comment with my hands up.

Simmons moves into Coulson's line of view," Sir, she is Skye's cousin. She also told us-"

"My name is Amelia  Rebecca Banner, guess who my dad is," Coulson looks at me in confusion. I roll my eyes," I was aggressively hinting at it."

"That's not possible," He states.

"My dad can turn into a huge green rage monster but it's not possible that he has a daughter. Or is it not possible that it's me?"

" Tony, I could believe, but Bruce-" He trails off.

" Seriously? If you don't believe me, I can prove it," I challenge. He raises an eyebrow. I sigh and hit a button on my glasses revealing my vibrant green eyes. "Believe me now?"

"You didn't have those last time we met," He points out, " They could be contacts."

I restrain myself from yelling at him instead, I calmly grit my teeth in annoyance, " Yeah, well maybe your clone eyes are malfunctioning. If you can't see- "

 He stops me, "I believe you."

"Then can I meet my cousin?"

"She's going through some things right now," Coulson tells me calmly.

I groan in frustration," What things could she be going through?"

Coulson tenses up, when he sees my impatience," For starters, the last family member that came out of the woodwork was her mentally unstable murdering father."

"Sounds like my family," I agree, but the look on his face tells me he's hiding something, " What else?"

"There's also the fact that her ancestors were experimented on by aliens causing massive destructive powers to emerge after she got trapped in an underground temple," Simmons adds.

Why can't I just have a semi-normal life? Is it really too much to ask? The gears in my head start turning. Skye has powers just like I do, that's not a coincidence. My eyebrow arches, "Powers?"

"Her father wanted her to receive her 'birthright', which turned out to be turning her into a cocoon, " Coulson explains further.

That's the same way I got my power. Whatever she is, I'm the same thing. I need to get more information. "Let me guess, her powers are triggered by negative emotions."

"How could you possibly know that?" Simmons inquires.

My eyes widen at my lack of control over my stupid words," Um, my dad? Anyway, when can I meet her?"

"When she has this thing under control or when we find a cure to whatever she has. Until then you can't see her," Coulson firmly tells me as if he was an overprotective father.

I frown, good thing I already hacked into their databases. All of their information is now my information. Still, I really wanted to meet my cousin." Fine. But you need to come with me."

"What?" Coulson asks in shock.

"You never told them you were alive and they blame themselves for your death. There's no reason to keep this secret any longer," I lecture.

Coulson's silent for a long time, "Okay, once we get back to base we can get a quinjet."

"No need. I have one outside," I inform him." How do you think I got here?"

"Sir, you're not actually going to go with her are you?" Bobbi interjects.

"If I don't go with her, there's a 100% chance they will show up at our base and I don't think it could handle it," He half-jokes.

I nod along, "We should get going."

***
I land the quinjet on the helicopter pad,"Wait for my signal."

"How will I know what your signal is?" 

I shrug, "Just eavesdrop and come in at the most dramatic moment."

I exit my plane and enter the Tower," Hello?"

The vent opens above me and Clint climbs out," Aw man, you're back already? Did you miss me, Millie?"

"Not at all. Can you call everyone here?" I ask." And don't call me Millie, Andromeda."

"You saw that movie?"

"I watched it with Thor and Steve," I explain. "Can you get them now?"

Once everyone arrives I sit them down on the couch, "Don't kill him but I think there's someone you'd like to see."

On cue, Coulson walks in and waves," Hey, it's been a while."

Shock waves over everyone. Natasha is the first one to react," How long?"

"Two years," Coulson answers with a guilt-stricken expression.

 I have suddenly been overcome with the urge to remove myself from the area where the incoming assault of items and insults will be very painful to anyone in their way.

Tony starts shouting at Coulson, "Two years! Why the hell didn't you tell us?!"

Coulson tries to answer but Clint cuts him off, "Was this Fury?"

I tune out all the shouts as I watch Dad with concern.  I can tell he's really upset about the whole Coulson thing. I gravitate towards him. He tends to internalize his emotions, just as I do. I don't say anything, I just stand next to him. Comforting people isn't my forté but gradually, Dad begins to relax.

He puts his arm around me, "It's nice to have you back."

"It's nice to be home, " I comment." Are you going to talk to him?"

"I'm not sure if I want to hug him or yell at him," He admits.

I glance at the scene before me, there's so much anger, sorrow, and relief, emotions that I actually understand now. I look up to my dad," I think it's okay to do both."

He smiles at me before joining everybody else. I watch from the corner as everyone reacts to Coulson's resurrection. He tells them his story once they stop shouting at him. After a while, the anger turns into happiness and they sit down to share stories.

I eventually leave them to their reunion and head to my room. I was hoping that I'd get some answers but I just ended up with more questions. But it was worth it to see everyone's faces when Coulson walked in. At least, they got to be happy.
