Coulson Is A Busy Dude, But He Still Takes Care Of His Family Team.

Coulson is a busy dude, but he still takes care of his family team.

He receives contact from May saying they're on their way back from an op with an ETA. He sets his alarm for an hour before they're supposed to get back so he can check in with May and get an update. Then he sets his alarm again for 15 minutes before they're supposed to land.

He goes down to the kitchen and makes sure there's two fresh pots of coffee for when they touch down. Makes sure all the coffee mugs in the sink that still need to be washed are cleaned, dried off, and ready for filling. Pulls the sugar and powdered creamer out and sets it on the counter. Grabs the stir sticks and sets them out as well. By the time he puts on a kettle for hot water and pulls the green tea box out for his wife May, the first few agents from the op are already entering the kitchen, thanking him for the fresh pots of coffee.

May and Daisy are the last to come in (about 30 minutes after touch down). Coulson has three mugs left on the counter: one for him, one for his kid Daisy, and one with May's tea steeped to her liking, still steaming. Sometimes Daisy grabs her mug, thanks him, and retreats to her bunk to get her paperwork done and hit the hay as soon as she can... Which gives May a chance for some one on one time with Coulson and debrief him personally on the nitty gritty details. Other times, Daisy wants to hang out with her dad boss for a small reprieve before getting back to work. Coming home to some stupid dad jokes she can scoff and roll her eyes at is a comfort sometimes, especially after a mission that didn't go quite right.

Why does Coulson do it? Bc he loves his team and is thankful for them everyday... And it gets him away from his desk for a little bit so he doesn't go cross-eyed from doing all that damn paperwork.
