Who: Melinda May and Phil Coulson What: Discovering something is missing Where: The Gym When: Friday Evening (backdated) Warnings: Probably low Status: Closed/Ongoing OOC Note: Maria's thoughts mentioned with permission :)
Melinda had done all she could to try to drown out Maria's thoughts. Loud music, humming, random static noise. Some of Maria's thoughts still managed to sneak into Melinda mind despite all that. They were fairly harmless, many consisting of thoughts regarding work and some annoying patrons. She picked up a few thoughts of Peter, enough to know she seemed to have genuine feelings for the guy. That only made her think of Cameron similarly, something Maria might have picked up on. Neither of them would share that with anyone else, at least. That was the one small mercy of this whole ordeal.
One of the best ways she could think of to block more of this was to do her usual sparring workout. She felt it would provide more discipline to block things. She basically had to bribe Phil away from the office for an hour to spar with her, but it would be worth it.
"Almost reminds of when you got me out of that administration job," she said, amused.
She might have been recruited by Fury to be on the team, but it was all for Coulson. She wouldn't have done that for anyone else.
