May's POV (A/N she's also known as Melinda May) 

I was doing my regular patrols when I heard peals of laughter coming from Daisy's room. Was there someone or something that I didn't know? I knew that Daisy had secrets to hide, but I thought that it was a good time to, at least, uncover one. 

"Hello?" I yelled into the room. "Daisy! Keep it down."

"Sorry." A breathless voice rang out from the room and I realised that it was Daisy who was laughing so hard that she struggled to breath.

"Mind if I come in?"

"No, of course you can come in." The door opened, revealing Daisy. 

"What's the fuss?" I asked, being the naturally curious type of person. 

"Nothing. Just teaching someone how to hack."

"And who is that lucky duck?"

"That would be none of your business."

"Ah. I see. Can I stay?"

"Yeah. Sure." I just wanted to know who that hacker was. A new boyfriend? Probably. 

"But I'm not that available now."

"It's ok, I need some hacking tips and technology tips anyways."

"Ohkay..." She said, really suspiciously. She closed the door behind me. 

"So, let's carry on. You know how to administer and create spyware, right?"

"Yes." A voice rang out from the room. I was looking straight at Daisy. 

"Who's she? Allow me to ask?"

"That's one of my coworkers. May, meet Louise. Well, Louise, her full name is Melinda May, but... call her May. Everyone does. And occasionally she makes exceptions and lets someone call her Melinda."

"Hello, May. Nice to meet you."

"Call me Melinda." I said, and stretched a hand out for her to shake. Just as my hand touched hers, emotions like I have never felt before, streamed into me. I knew what this kid was feeling, and it was all over the place. Trauma, grief, happiness, sadness, worry... all of them were here with us in the room. 

"Why's she here? Is this another sister or something?" I asked quizzically. It wouldn't be the first time that she had another sister. Take Kora. She was from another timeline, her older sister. 

"Oh, no, Louise's an Inhuman. Well, we don't know what she can do yet, but I'm sure that she needs protection."

"From what?"

"Herself and others."

"Why do you have to protect me... from me?" The kid on Daisy's other bed asked. 

"You might be dangerous and that you might hurt yourself trying to find out what powers you have and how to use them. Take Daisy as an example. She shattered tons of bones trying to contain her power when she had them at first."

"What was her powers?" Louise asked. Daisy shot me a dirty look, not wanting to talk about it. I knew that she didn't even give up the fact that she was Quake. 

"i'm sure that she'll tell you when she's ready." I said, trying not to get killed by Daisy. To be honest, now that Daisy has complete control over her powers, she could amplify the magnitude of her powers and kill anyone she liked. But, of course, we were here to keep her on a tight leash whenever she went on a killing spree against our enemies. 

"It's time for dinner, by the way."

"I'll just stay in my room for a while. I don't want to disturb you guys eating." Louise said, and fidgeted with her hands. I could tell that she was a very awkward kid, very introverted.
