"You live here?" Skye asks looking around the war room. Mary and Dean apparently left to find Sam when you got the door.
"Yeah." You reply with a small smile. "Rooms 11, 17, 21 and 7B are taken."
"What are you saying?"
"We have spare rooms, so you guys don't have to move from hotel room to hotel room. I hated that growing up…"

Fitz and Simmons are watching the news and Skye is doing something on her laptop. A blurry picture of Mike Peterson shows up on the screen. The reporter says something about Mike being a man, monster or machine.
"The correct answer is “D” all of the above." Fitz says turning off the TV. Coulson pokes his head in and says that there's a team briefing in the library.
"Everyone but Ward is here. And why am I not surprised?" Sam asks during the debriefing. He leans against the library doorframe. You look at your brother and see how beat up he is, you walk over to him.
"You okay Sammy?" You ask. Sam cracks a small smile.
"I'll be okay. What about you?" You simply shrug in response.
A day later during another team briefing Trip pulls out his grandfather's Howling Commandos spy gear. Less than an hour later everyone, Mary included, starts messing with the stuff trying to figure out how it works.
"Hey Fitz, do me a favor and don't set the bunker on fire." You tease when Fitz sets something on fire. Thankfully Sam knows where the fire extinguisher is.
"Look out HYDRA, here we come." May says, with a small smile. A rare occurrence for Agent Melinda May.
Most of the team goes on an undercover while you stay behind, helping your brothers research a hunt. "Hey find what you were looking for?" You ask when your friends get back.
"Somewhat." Coulson answers. "Garrett was the first Deathlok."
"Great… if you're hungry, Sam's making a pizza run."
"You could've said Sam's playing the pizza guy." Skye points out, as she sits down. You shake your head as you sit down as well.
"I did not need that image in my head."
"What image?"
"It's better not to ask."

You start beating up a punching bag, just getting more annoyed. You can't make up your mind if you should go with SHIELD and take back the bus, or stay and hunt with your family. You throw a punch so hard that the hook that's holding the punching bag snaps in two, and the bag goes flying at least ten feet away from you.
"Holy shit!" You exclaim after a minute of just staring at the fallen punching bag with wide eyes. You go looking for your brothers or someone on your team- the only person here in the bunker besides you is Mary. You NEED to talk to someone about what just happened.
"Can we talk for a moment?" You ask, walking over to your brother's mom.
"What's going on?" Mary asks.
"I was just punching a punching bag and I threw a punch so hard that it broke the hook and sent the bag flying upwards of ten feet away."
"Okay?"
"That shouldn't be humanly possible unless you've been injected with a supersoldier serum or possessed by a demon or angel." You run a hand through your hair as you sit down.
"Here," Mary says handing you a flask of holy water. "You might want to see if you're possessed." You nod and splash some of the water on yourself, no reaction. You pass all the tests proving you're human. Mary can see that you're scared. She places a gentle hand on your shoulder.
"We'll figure it out."
"Promise you tell anyone about this please."
"I won't I promise."

You're on your laptop, going through your dad's file again- you've got more to read now that you have clearance. You come across something that makes you pause and reread it again. The file says guardian of a 0-8-4.
"Sammy will get a laugh out of the fact he's a 0-8-4." You say, snickering to yourself. You continue to read and a feeling of unease settles into the pit of your stomach. You get to this page that describes the 0-8-4… and it says baby GIRL, not a baby boy. You suddenly find yourself in a vague memory.
You were between the ages of one and two- when your mom came in your room. Since you were so young, your brain didn't register the fact that your mom was holding her stomach- bleeding out. It also didn't register that when your mom put her hand on your cheek and played with your hair, her hand was covered in blood. She then left the room.
You've must've fallen asleep or something, because the next thing you remember is a man yelling your mom's name, causing you to start to bawl your eyes out. A few moments later you saw your dad's face hovering above yours, he gently took you out of your crib and held you against his chest. "It's okay Y/N. I got you, baby girl." He said.
You quickly shake your head pulling yourself out of your memories. You notice that a video attached to the page that mentions the baby girl… you click on it.
The video starts out with your dad's hands holding a steering wheel, occasionally drumming his fingers on it.
"You know Melinda, the boys think I'm hunting." Your dad says.
"Technically you are John." May replies. "We have a 0-8-4 that we have to find."
"Where we headed again?"
"(Childhood hometown)."
"After we secure the 0-8-4, we might make a pitstop. Did Phil give us a general location?"
"He gave us an address." There's the sound of papers shuffling.
"I know exactly where that is… that's where my friend, (mom's name), and her daughter, Y/N, lives. (Mom's name) is one of us." Your dad states. "Now why would a 0-8-4 be there?"
"I don't know. Wasn't the last 0-8-4 a baby?"
"Beats me." Your dad answers as there's a sound of someone flipping a switch. "We'll be there in about five minutes if the boosters are working. If not, we'll be there in an hour." May and your dad make short talk on the way to the 0-8-4.
Your dad pulls up to a house where there is someone bleeding out on the lawn. "Oh god, no." Your dad states as he opens the car door, suddenly the camera starts bouncing as if he is running. When your dad gets to the fallen figure, you see it's a man in a SHIELD suit. "Dammit Bill." Your dad states, kneeling down and feeling for a pulse.
"Friend of yours?" May asks. Your dad doesn't answer… the camera then bounces as if your dad is running again. You then see the interior of a house.
"(Mom's name)!" Your dad yells. Suddenly there's the sound of a baby crying. Your dad follows the sound and pauses when he sees a limp form of a woman. Her eyes are closed and the video feed is so choppy you don't know if she's alive or not. Once again you briefly see your dad's jeans and his hand looking for a pulse. "Stay with me (Mom's name)." The woman's eyes flutter open.
"John?" She weakly asks.
"I'm right here. What happened?"
"They wanted… the baby… they shot Bill… in the heart… and me… in the stomach." Your mom says, she's clearly in a lot of pain and close to blacking out.
"Stay awake for me, a med team's on its way- right May?" May doesn't answer but you do hear her leave the house.
"John… it's too late… for me. Take… Y/N… and… go."
"I'm not leaving you here."
"John go… HYDRA… could be back… any moment." Your wails continuously get louder. "Go… before Y/N's… cries break… another window… or two."
"What about the 0-8-4 in your possession?"
"Y/N's… the… 0-8-4." The video then cuts off.
