The Other Agent Hill

81

"Wait" Y/n stops, in the hallway, her eyes flicking up to meet the faces of her friends.

"What's wrong?" Clint asks, removing his arm from around her shoulder. Y/n looks past them to 

Skye

"I need to talk to someone before I go," She says, moving away from them and walking up to 

Skye.

"Hill" Skye greets smiling lightly as she looks nervously at the three avengers behind Y/n.

"I need to talk to him" Y/n mumbles walking past Skye. Whose eyes widen, gulping she looks at the avengers who look at her waiting for an answer

"I'll bring her to your quinjet, she will only be a moment," Skye says before turning around and catching up with Y/n, before leading her to a room. Knocking on the door, Skye looks at Y/n 

nervously, noting the neutral expression on her face. 

"Are you sur-

-yes" Y/n cuts in, smiling lightly as Coulson calls out for them to enter. Skye nods pushing the door slightly, Y/n stands in the doorway, going to move when her eyes catch on him. And she freezes. Skye watches as her expression falls and her eyes dart to the ground her jaw clenching. 

She turns to Skye worried and frantic. 

"Is this selfish of me?" She asks quietly her voice breaking. Skye hesitates to look from her to Coulson who is yet to turn around as he reads through SHIELD files.

"No, you deserve to talk to him" Skye answers, Y/n looks over and raises her hand to her mouth before starting to bite down on it, unconvinced. Skye sighs placing a hand on Y/n's free hand, 

gaining her attention. 

"I won't tell them if you don't," She says smiling. Y/n nods removing her hand as she enters the room, Skye shuts the door behind her as she gives them space.

"Skye I had a look at-- oh," Coulson says as he looks at her. Standing he looks down at the file in front of him, before smiling reassuringly.

"hi," Y/n says quietly, he smiles gesturing for her to sit down. "hello Y/n" He responds, sending chills up her spine. Hesitating she takes a seat on the couch in his room, and he follows sitting on the armchair opposite.

"I heard you're leaving," Coulson says breaking the silence, as Y/n watches him sadly. Clearing 

her throat she nods

"Yeah, they said it will be good for me," Y/n says looking down. Coulson looks at her 

contemplating. "I'm sorry," He says, she looks at him quickly confused. "What for?"

"For what they did to you... I'm sorry we took so long to find you" He says making her heart 

drop, shoulders slumping as she relaxes into the cushions of the couch. "oh.."

"and also for not remembering you" he adds slowly, watching for her reaction. She looks around the room before looking at him. "Do you know who I am?" She asks, not looking at him directly, 

he nods

"You are Y/n Hill, Maria Hill's sister and a top SHIELD agent or was one, before the fall of SHIELD,"  he says. Y/n's face drops unsurprised yet still pained from the revelation.

"... I also know that you were like a daughter to me and I help you become an agent when you first came," He says, after recalling what he read.

Y/n looks up at him, knowingly she looks over at the file. "That's my file isn't it," She asks, he chuckles before nodding. "Yes, but I also got my information from other agents" She nods again. before looking down at her hands. "How much do you know of how you died," She asks, he 

stiffens for a moment

"I know I died of a stab wound, but from there it gets hazy," He says, she nods before leaning her 

head back so she is looking at the ceiling. 

"Would you like me to tell you?" She asks. He pauses furrowing his brows as he studies her.

"You know what happened?" He says, watching as her eyes glaze over before nodding.

 "I was there," She says, making him bite his tongue looking down.

"Yes please," He says, she nods again, before explaining what happened. The lead up with her discussion with the Ancient one, from when she returned to the helecarrier, to when she spoke to Coulson. To when he killed himself in her arms.

The silence is constricting, the room is quiet as Coulson takes in what Y/n just told him, whilst Y/n stares at the ceiling tears dusting her cheeks as she waits for him to say something. 

"Thank you... for telling me" Coulson says clearing his throat. Y/n looks over at him and sees him with glassy eyes. Looking down she chuckles.

"You know one of the last things you said to me?" She starts making him look at her. She looks at him briefly. 

"We'll meet again" She quotes, making him huff and laugh lightly at the irony of it.Moving her legs over the side of the couch she stands, moving over to him, tense and anxious. 

"I'm sorry Phil, but thank you for allowing me to talk to you," She says sheepishly. Coulson stands. As she turns and starts walking to the door.

"Thank you for talking to me, and I think this gave us both closure," He says she smiles nodding her hand gripping the door handle as she goes to shut it. She looks up at him one last time."Goodbye Coulson," She says before shutting the door behind her. Both members both let out a sigh as the door closes, Phil walking over and closing the file he had opened on her and finally filling in the latest recollection of his death in his journal. Just as Y/n walks out of the helecarrier and toward the quinjet.

Before she does though she turns around as she hears someone behind her, before seeing a glimpse of a coat walking down a hallway, snapping her head to the right as she hears a familiar deep voice, making her head spin.

Curious she walks down the hallway and turns in stopping when she reaches them.

"May, Coulson has seemed to be making progress since seeing her, I think it is probable to think that -" "-Sir" May cuts in forcing him to stop talking and face the direction of Y/n, where May is looking eyes wide.

Y/n stands there mouth agape as her mind tries to make sense of it, deciding against it she turns on her heels and walks back, walking quickly toward the Quinjet, before hearing footsteps behind her.

"Hill" Fury calls, she shakes her head placing a hand on her chest to try to keep her breathing steady.

"Y/n!" he shouts again, his voice muffled as her mind goes into overdrive eyes darting around the room, stumbling she trips. Feeling arms catch her she looks up to Clint who looks at her 

worriedly.

Y/n stares back at him before moving out of his grip, Clint looks behind her to Fury, realising what happened he follows after her, as Nat and Tony watch from the side.

Fury goes to enter the quinjet when Nat stops him. "She knows now, let her process it," She says, he looks at her hesitantly before nodding.

Y/n sits down in her seat, the seat furthest from everyone, strapping in she places her hands in her lap as her leg bounces uncontrollably. As her eyes zero in on a spot on the ground, everything else around her becomes a foggy blend of colours and sounds as she processes the fact. That another person she loved is not dead.

Clint goes to the pilot's seat and flies them home, whilst Nat and Tony sit near her, watching her cautiously, Nat falls asleep mid-way through the flight due to exhaustion. Whereas sleep escapes Tony as his brown eyes bore into her as he watches her, his leg bouncing as his nerves build with concern for the brunette. 

a/n: rough... so Y/n and Phil spoke, granted that is probably one of the first times she has ever spoken about his death. Also she saw Fury, so now she knows he faked his death. Talk about catching a break. At least she is moving into the tower..

Hope you enjoyed, I'm in school holidays now, so hopefully I can get more chapters out.
