"PHIL" Melinda was running through the halls of the abandoned building, "ANDREW"
This was supposed to be an in out mission, but Andrew had showed up and Coulson had tried to get him out but had wound up getting them both captured instead. It wasn't his fault, in a way it was really her fault, she had let Andrew go on the quinjet and thought that he would stay.
"Agent May?"
"Yes"
"I'm getting heat signatures from the next room over, it looks like there's two on the wall by you, two on the opposite side and two heat signatures in the middle"
"Is the a heat duct going over the room"
"Hold on, let me check"
May stood there listening to the sounds coming from the other room, they were muffled but she could still make out some of the words.
"What are we going to do when 'The Calvary' gets here?"
"We shoot her, she can't be as good as she was then, can she?"
She just barely heard the next thing, but she could tell that he meant it. "DON'TCALLHERTHECALVARY"
"SHE HAS A NAME, MY EX-WIFE IS A GREAT WOMAN WHOSE NAME IS MELINDA MAY"
Melinda sunk against the wall and laid her head back.
"Agent May"
"Yes Daisy?"
"There appears to be a single heating duct that runs straight through the middle of the room, It has two vents at each end of the room"
"Where's the entrance to the vent?"
"If you go one hallway down there is a vent that you can get in"
"Left or right?"
"Go Right"
Melinda turned and walked down the hallway, when she reached the vent she looked around for anything that she could jump on, all she saw was the windowsill and a doorknob. She figured out that the hallway was small enough that she could reach the windowsill and the door knob at the same time, so she climbed on the window and then leaned her foot over to the doorknob, then she reach her hands up and started to undo the vent.
"How's it going over on your end?"
"Good, you?"
"I'm watching the room, it looks like the guards have left, it our intel is correct, they'll be gone for another five minutes, but if your not careful you can still get caught"
"When am I ever not careful?"
"All the time May, you sound stressed"
"I am five feet off the ground with my right foot on a windowsill and my left on a door handle"
"Why?"
"Because I needed to get into the vent" Melinda grabbed the vent and threw it on the ground. "Got it"
She pulled herself into the vent and started crawling over to the room where Andrew and Coulson where being held, "How much time do I have left?"
"About three minutes"
"Thanks", Melinda looked down into the room and saw Phil struggling against the restraints.
++++
"Do you think she's coming?"
"Of course she's coming, it's May we're talking about"
"Yeah, but protocol says -"
"If you think that Melinda follows protocol then you are dumber than I thought"
"What was your first hint"
"When you and her got a divorce"
Just then Melinda jumped out of the vent, she went over to Coulson and cut his restraints. Once he was free she gave him an icer, "Ice anyone who comes in wielding a weapon"
"Yes ma'am"
She then went over and started on Andrew, she was almost done when two guards showed up and shot at Phil, Melinda ran over to him and brought him down to the ground.
---------
When the three of them were safely back on the quinjet Coulson went to go find May, he checked the cockpit, her room, and his office before he finally found her in the training room.
"Melinda"
"Mhm"
"Has Simmons checked you out yet?"
"I didn't get hurt"
"We hit the ground pretty hard"
"Yeah, well" Melinda stopped punching the punching bag and turned towards Coulson, "You did a pretty good job of breaking my fall"
"Mel. . . that wasn't your fault"
"I'm the one who threw the both of us on the ground"
"And if you hadn't I wouldn't be here"
Melinda fell silent, she didn't want to admit that what she did was good, she didn't want to admit that in that moment both Coulson and Andrew were in danger, and she chose Phil. And that she will always chose Coulson.
-----------
Phil had finally gotten Melinda to go to get checked out by Simmons, while she was getting checked out he went to talk to Andrew.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm just wondering what she was doing in a running heat duct in the middle of summer"
"It's Melinda, she would do anything to save those close to her"
"I don't think that I'm that close anymore, you however, you are that close"
-----------
Phil and Melinda were in the kitchen when he decided to ask her a question, "May?"
"Yes" Phil could tell in her tone that she didn't want to be messed with, but he wasn't going to back down.
"Do you still love Andrew?"
Melinda stopped drinking her tea, she looked at Coulson but didn't answer. "Melinda?"
"Yes"
"Are you going to answer my question?"
"There's two things I know for sure"
"What are they?"
"I love him" She got up and walked over to Phil before taking his hands in hers, "But I'll always love you more"
Phil pushed her up against the the counter and smashed his lips against hers, he tilted his head to deepen the kiss. When he pulled back he saw Melinda smiling, "took you long enough"
Phil shook his head and lowered back down to kiss her again.
