Alex Hua and the Agents of shield Christmas story

Chapter Four

"Alex obviously can't go!" Ward protests as they've been arguing for the past ten minutes.

"Santa said I had to do it!"

"It isn't SANTA!"

"Seriously?", Simmons scoffed. "After all this you still don't believe that Father Christmas could be real?"

"No I don't", he turns to her but Coulson holds out his hand to finally stop the chatter.

Fitz looks around at the group and speaks before anyone else.

"What are we actually arguing about? What does alex need to do?"

"Nothing, because he isnt going", Ward said as Simmons sighed.

"Someone needs to deliver the presents!"

Skye suddenly frowns and thinks back to the cargo hold.

"What presents?"

That's when they all find themselves standing beside the sleigh. It now seems much smaller after knowing it carries all the presents for the good kids.

"Sooo..." skye bites her lip. "...where are the presents?"

They stare for a moment longer as Ward peers into it.

"Alex was meant to do it. He can find the presents".

And just to annoy him, Alex sets on a brave face as if it doesn't bother him one bit and steps into the sleigh with confidence.

The bag looks like a normal red sac from any christmas film ever, but he can't quite see whats in it. He reaches down and puts his hand through the opening.

All breathing in the room stops for a second until something from inside touches his hand.

Everyone watches as he pulls out a small, neatly wrapped package.

"Well... I don't know what else we were expecting", Skye mumbles.

"Let me see that?" Coulson asks and grabs it.

The red and gold striped box in his hands feels just like any present you'd get under a tree. But when he turned it over, the small name tag flipped to reveal his name.

"Hmm, what a coincidence", he says.

But Alex doesn't think so. He walks back to the bag and thinks of himself, and when he pulls his hand out, the present has his own name.

Not wanting to ruin anything, he puts it back in and points to Simmons.

"What's your mothers name?"

"Kassandra Simmons... why?"

Alex thinks about the name, and pulls once again. He hands it over and Simmons gasps.

"How did you do that?"

"Its magic!" He exclaims.

But Ward has had enough so he pushes past and puts his hand in the bag. But he finds nothing.

"This isnt the time to joke Alex!"

"I wasn't!"

He puts his hand in again and pulls out another present.

Ward can't understand what's happening as he tips the sac up and nothing comes out.

"Its empty!"
