Here Comes The Sun

Skye

Coulson, May, and Tremors waited outside the Director's office. Two agents, Barton and his recruit, Romanoff, were there as well.

"Cute baby," Barton said as he spotted the three. "Reminds me of my own."

Coulson nodded. "How's the bird?" he asked genially.

"She's doing well at home," the agent replied, grinning. He glanced to his right, to his recruit. "I don't think I've introduced the two of you to the kid. Coulson, May, this is Natasha Romanoff. Nat, this is Agents Phil Coulson and Melinda May."

"Pleasure," Romanoff said with a smile, shaking their hands. "What's her name?"

"We don't really know," May said, looking at the baby.

"I called her Tremors on the way home," Coulson offered. "She's our 084."

Barton whistled low. "A whole baby?"

"We found her alone in a house," Coulson replied. "With the stuffy." Tremors looked around and he turned her to face the agents. She shook her monkey at Barton.

He chuckled. "I see."

Agent Hill came out from the office. "The Director will see you now," she said. She noticed the baby. "Aw. She the 084?"

"Yep." Coulson bounced Tremors for the adorable giggles. "All four- five of us?"

Hill nodded and walked down the hallway.

May looked to Barton, who shrugged. "We were supposed to be here for Nat's first mission debrief."

"Exciting," May said.

The five of them walked into the office to see Fury at his desk.

"What took so long that you had to wait two whole minutes to walk the twenty feet into my goddamn office?" He chuckled. "You kids. Phil!" Fury stood up. "The 084 baby. What's her name?"

"We don't know," Coulson answered. "I called her Tremors on the flight back, but that won't really look alright on legal documents."

"Have you taken her to the science department?"

"Not yet." Coulson lifted Tremors and handed her to Fury, who chuckled at the girl's giggles.

"Good," he said. "I have Banner coming in to examine her."

"Isn't he a physicist?" May interjected.

"He does biochemistry," Fury replied. "And I want to strengthen some bonds with him. He could be a great asset for SHIELD in the future."

"Sir?" Barton sounded sheepish. "Why are Romanoff and I here?"

"We'll get to that," Fury replied. He handed Tremors back to Coulson. "Okay. Since we have reason to believe this baby is enhanced, we need to keep her under watch. As the agents who found her, May, Coulson, you two need to take care of her until the doc is here to examine her. If she is enhanced, you two would have to keep her until we can enroll her into the kids academy-"

"- Excuse me, kids academy?" Romanoff interrupted, glaring.

"Yes, for enhanced children and the offspring or relatives of agents," Fury replied. "It operates as a regular school, with grades and subjects. To the world, it's a private boarding school for the elite. It's from ages 7 to 18." He sighed. "Anyway, if the girl is enhanced, she'll stay with May and Coulson until she reaches the age requirements of the school. Barton and Romanoff will be the relief team, and if you all are unavailable, well, I'll find someone." Coulson and May glanced at each other apprehensively as the director continued. "If it turns out the girl isn't enhanced, we'll give her a new identity and move on and try to locate the real 084 that made those quakes." Fury looked to Coulson. "So what's her name, Phil?"
