Agent Coulson's Daughter

Agent Coulson’s Daughter

Prologue

Phil clutched his daughter to his chest as Megan’s heartbeat started to slow down. Gripping one of her hands, and their daughter; not even an hour old, also reached her tiny hand to touch her mother’s.

“I can’t hold them off any longer, I’m sorry. I love you Phil, don’t ever forget that. Tessalia is a beautiful name, consider it.” Megan manages to say before the Order’s sorcerer manages to stop her heart, which causes the heart monitor to flat line seconds later.

Tears slip down Agent Coulson’s cheeks and all he can see is the blurry face of all he has left of his girlfriend; the woman who managed to make him see more than just his work. The Asgardian Goddess of Wisdom who mattered; who had also just given him a name for their daughter.

There is a knock on the door shortly after Megan is covered over and taken out of the room, but Phil is still in shock so doesn’t take notice, until Director Fury walks into the room.

“I’m sorry for your loss Coulson, but you know the rules; no children of agents are allowed in S.H.I.E.L.D so we need to talk about this.” Nick starts.

“I know that and if it means I don’t have to give up my daughter then I will happily resign from my position; but I would be honoured if you would still be Tessalia’s godfather.” Phil replies.

“You don’t need to leave Phil, I can make an exception for Tessa and you due to the fact she is asgardian, immortal and a goddess. S.H.I.E.L.D can technically put her on a protection program because of the situation with the Order and train her up as an S.H.I.E.L.D agent with you as her S.O. and father. You would be able to split your time between being a parent and an agent and if you’ll let me I will happily be her godfather and help you bring her up.” Nick states, leaving Phil speechless. “But we should only let certain agents know about her as it will only attract attention, keep it to the avengers and higher level agents but not anyone too close to you. Since we still won’t know what she will be the goddess of until at least 10 years from now.”

“I don’t think I could ever thank you as much as I want to right now but thank you Sir. Would you like to hold her?” Coulson gestures to the tiny baby in his arms who is looking between the two men with her big blue eyes.

“Yes; but I’m not going to get attached Phil.” Fury says; trying to convince both Phil and himself as he took the baby from his friend’s arms. Not realising how wrong he could be.

Nearly 15 Years later – The Battle of New York

“Tess duck!” Nat shouts across the road to Tessalia before a chitauri slices its weapon into the back of her chest.

Things seem to move in slow motion as Natasha and Clint run towards her; shouting into their coms units for medical backup.

Minutes later a S.H.I.E.L.D helicopter lifts the now unconscious body up and takes it to the island of Tahiti.

Meanwhile in the helicarrier the same had happened to Agent Coulson and before anything could be said to the avengers; he was also taken to Tahiti and the avengers had been told of his supposed death.

Both father and daughter not realising they were in the same place and having the same treatment.

Tessa being in a coma for 5 months after New York and having to receive the same treatment as her dad more than twice before it made a difference. Being told when she woke up, that Phil been called in to see his new team and is sending his love to her.

Phil being told that his daughter was in hiding and couldn’t join him and his new team until potentially a year later; when the threat had passed.
