Glitter & Gold (Marvel/Star Wars Crossover)

Chapter 14: Back At S.H.I.E.L.D.

After informing Phil that I was back, R3, Kina, Hilna, Areria, Ahsoka, and I said goodbye to Frigga and Tony before making our way to Massachusetts to the Playground. I left Bunny with Frigga to keep an eye on her. On the way towards the base, I informed Hilna and Kina everything I knew from the messages on my phone. As I told them what I knew, I noticed that Kina wore a look of pain, one I hadn't seen since her padawan Thox Kinrac died in the Jedi Purge. I then felt an emotion I had after listening to those messages myself: regret. Once we arrived at the base, Phil greeted us with a smile. "You're back."

"I had to return. I couldn't leave my family, especially when they need me." I replied. "I'm distraught I wasn't here when Trip...when he died."

Phil's eyes widened. "You read my messages?"

"Not just yours but everyone else's, including May, Jemma, Leo, and Daisy." I informed him.

Phil's eyes lit up. "Daisy sent you messages? Did she by any chance tell you where she is?"

I wore a sympathetic smile, knowing the situation. "I'm sorry Phil, Daisy never told me...and I know she doesn't want to be found because she believes by isolating herself from us we'll be safe, but that won't stop us. We'll find her, Phil."

Phil gave me a gratified smile. "Thanks Storm, it's great to have you back."

Kina cleared her throat. "I'm back too."

Phil wore a guilty look as he hastily spoke. "It's great to have you back as well, Kina...as well as your cunning sense of humor."

"Glad to see I'm appreciated." Kina rebuked, causing me to snicker.

"So...uh, who's the robot and those two aliens?" Phil asked, changing the subject.

R3 angrily beeped at Phil, correcting him. I chuckled. "It's alright, R3. I'll correct him."

I then turned towards Phil. "He's actually a droid. A R-3 astromech droid."

"Like R2?" Phil questioned with an excited look.

"Sorta." I said. "I built him from scratch when I was a kid. And these are Ahsoka Tano, a Jedi Master, Togruta from Shili, and one of my closest friends since the Clone Wars, and this my former padawan, Areria Skikea, Jedi Knight who is half Trailian and half Vahla, and another close friend of mine. They have both come to help as well."

"Great to hear. It's nice to meet you both." Phil commented. "I'm Agent Phil Coulson."

"The pleasure's all ours, Phil." Ahsoka replied.

Areria nodded. "Yes, it's an honor to meet you. Storm has told us many stories of your adventures and trials."

"Including the time you were forced underground due to the rise of the evil organization, Hydra." Ahsoka added.

Phil glanced over at me with a dumbfounded look. "You spoke about me?"

"I spoke about the whole team to everyone back home. So if you were to ever visit my home, they'd know you." I informed him.

Phil's smile widened. "Glad to know. And Gida and Tarom?"

"They stayed behind to continue teaching and watching over the Jedi Temples, but they send greetings." I commented. "Gida and Tarom got married, and now they have children of their own."

"I'm happy to hear they're doing well, just sad that they couldn't return. Also bummed I didn't get an invite." Phil said with a teasing smile.

Kina shot me an amused look while I let out a nervous laugh. "Guess they forgot."
