Notes:

 This is the last drabble for my table // A huge thank you goes as always to my fantastic betareader lanalucy.


The rain fell in sheets as Jemma walked down the dark alley. It was late and few people were out and about. Jemma was grateful for the circumstances; it was essential she wasn’t seen. She kept to the shadows, the collar of her trench coat turned up and her red Stetson Stratoliner hat pulled deep into her face.



Jemma reached her destination, a street corner near Central Park, where she waited just outside the cone of a street lamp’s light.



It didn’t take long for the familiar white 1954s Jaguar XK120 to pull up beside her. The window wound down.



“Little damsel?“ the driver asked. Melinda May was her partner and a ruthless PI. “You look like you could use a ride.

“

Jemma hated her codename; she was no damsel. She was more than capable of taking care of herself - otherwise she wouldn’t have been the one infiltrating Hydra. “Is it the cavalry come to my rescue?“ Jemma asked, playing her part and getting into the car.



“Do you have it?“ Melinda wanted to know as soon as the door was closed again.



“Of course, darling.“ Jemma opened her coat and showed Melinda a folder. “And with the money this case will make us, we can finally get out of this hellhole of a city.

“

“I can’t wait.“ Melinda said and leaned over. She grabbed Jemma by her collar, enveloping her in a passionate kiss.

You totally made this work. Again your managed to weave the show story into something completely different. I haven't seen a lot of this pairing and you really managed to get them to fit.

Congrats on finishing your table! *sets off fireworks*

you have no idea how happy and glad I am that you think I made this work. In the beginning it was so damn difficult for me to write AUs but by now it's quite fun and challenging. It also great to give the rare pairs of the fandom at least a tiny platform - of course Daisy/Jemma is the most favored pairing of the fandom, but other pairings definitely have their appeal too :)
Thank you for your comments and your support!
