Explosion
A few days later
Simmons POV
I still can't believe I saw Daisy today, and I'm the only one in S.H.I.E.L.D who has seen her since Lincoln died. I already knew she was a mess because of the whole destroying banks thing, but I didn't know that she went all emo on us. I'm glad I got to see her, I also met the ghost rider but I'm not going to tell anyone about him or his brother. And then there was a Demi-God, the younger me would have said that it's impossible or that he's lying but now I don't think it's too far fetched. I mean there are Inhumans, Roman gods, so why not Greek gods as well? Plus he did have water powers that saved Daisy's life, but he didn't go through the mist so he wasn't inhuman.
"Simmons, it's your turn," Fitz said. We were seeing who can make the most words and apparently it was my turn. With the letters I had, I made the same word I had made when we still had Skye and Ward.
"Tad-ah!" I sang.
"Oh, come on Simmons, you're using that one again?" Coulson complained.
"We've already gone through this, it's a word. Aglet is the-"
"Yeah, yeah, we know what it is," May said.
"We do?" Mack asked.
"Yes, we do."May then growled. Wow. She really didn't want me to explain it did she?
After they finished (Fitz won)
Fitz POV
"Ha! I win." I exclaimed.
"You got lucky," Simmons said putting away the board. I looked at my watch to see how long we were playing. I looked at my watch and it was...Blimey! It was 6:38 we had been playing for over an hour. How did that even happen? Wait a minute, I was supposed to be checking on my friend's goldfish at 6:40. The house was 30 minutes away from here by car. 1 minute away by plane.
"May, can you fly me to a friend's house?" I asked.
"Why?" Simmons asked.
"I have to go feed his goldfish and it will take 30 minutes before I get there by car. But 1 minute by plane."
"I guess." She walked over to the cockpit and in a minute the plane was zooming towards the house.
When we got there May left a SHIELD car behind so I could drive back to where the plane used to be. She took off and headed back to where they were - at least, I think she did. Before I walked in, I saw someone staring at me. They looked a bit like Daisy, but it couldn't be. "Hello? Who are you?" I shouted at the person who held a shocking resemblance to Daisy.
"Sophia!" She shouted back.
"Oh, thought you were someone I knew! Nevermind sorry!" I apologised. She walked over to a coffee shop and came out with a coffee then sat on one of the outside tables. Not Daisy then. I walked over to my friend's house and opened the door using the key he gave me. I fed the goldfish but before I could get out the house erupted into flames with a loud bang. I tried to hold my breath but I wasn't expecting the explosion. What do they say? Stop drop and roll. I stopped and dropped but not the way I was supposed to.
Daisy POV
I was about to head into the coffee shop when I saw a SHIELD car. I was about to run into an alleyway to avoid them when only Fitz got out of a quinjet. Just Fitz? Maybe they aren't here for me. The quinjet took off before cloaking, leaving Fitz alone. Fitz noticed me staring and shouted. "Hello? Who are you?" Dammit. This s what I get for spying on my old friends - this is the second time now.
"Sophia!" I shouted; it was the first name other than my own or Skye to jump in my head.
"Oh, thought you were someone I knew! Nevermind, sorry!" He called. How did he fall for that? I knew he would still be watching me so I bought a coffee from the shop I was outside of and sat on an outside table so I still watch him slightly, but more discreetly this time.
He walked inside the house. After around 30 seconds I saw him re-approaching the door but before he got there, the house was engulfed by fire. An earsplitting bang sprawled throughout the air. Whoever was driving the quinjet probably heard it and was heading back now, but they wouldn't get here in time. I sprinted over to the building. I could people saying, "What is she doing?" and "Is that Quake?" as I ran past them. I held out my hand, knocking the door down. I climbed inside the burning building, the smoke and ashes making it hard to breathe. I grabbed a towel and put it over my face. I frantically looked through the building before I saw Fitz unconscious on the ground. "No, no, no." I murmured. I took the towel off of my face and dampened it before putting it over his mouth to stop him from breathing in anymore.
I lifted him up off the floor and carried him towards the entrance, finding it extremely hard to breathe. I got outside before my legs gave out from beneath me. I coughed and then put Fitz on the floor and took the towel off his face. A crowd started to form around us, not saying anything. "Please breathe Fitz, please breathe," I whispered, but everyone heard me nonetheless. He opened his eyes and started coughing.
He looked up at me and said, "Daisy?" he smiled before hugging me. A quinjet, probably the one that dropped him off here in the first place, landed next to us, and Fitz broke the hug and lied back down on the floor. The hanger door opened and Simmons, May, Coulson, and Mack came out. They looked at Fitz and then me.
"Daisy?" Coulson said, repeating Fitz's question unknowingly. I didn't have the strength to run away from them, or towards them, I could probably get a few feet.
A man walked up from behind them "Did you do this?" he asked gesturing to the building on fire.
"What? No." I said.
"Are you sure? You were in the area when the explosion happened. At that coffee shop actually." He looked at the shop I was at a minute ago.
"So I'm not allowed to have coffee anymore am I?" I said.
"Sorry Daisy, but there is just too much evidence against it bei-"
"No sir, I don't think it was her."
"Why is that?" The stranger continued.
"Because she saved me from it," Fitz said.
"Maybe you weren't the one she was trying to kill, so she felt bad."
"Sir-" Jemma began.
"Nope, that's enough." He put up his hand and 30 men came out of a different quinjet, they surrounded me and Fitz. "Give up, Quake, and hand him over; There's nowhere to go."
"Sure about that?" I walked away from Fitz and put my hands to the floor. I was about to shoot into the sky when Fitz ran over to me. "No Fitz!" I shouted, but a little too late. We shot up into the sky.
"Ahhhhh!" Fitz screamed.
"I got you!" I put my hands behind me and catapulted myself into Fitz, landing on a roof.
"How'd you do that?" He asked out of breath.
"I'll explain later, that's if you want to come with me," I asked.
He nodded and said, "Wait come with you?"
"Yea, I need to get you away from SHIELD."
"What about the others?"
"We don't have time." The quinjet took off, with Coulson and the team still on the floor, and hovered in front of the building we were on.
"Quake!" The speaker thingy was on. "What did you do to Agent Fitz? If we don't see him alive we will open fire." Fitz ran out from behind the part of the building we were behind.
"I'm here! I'm fine! Don't shoot! She saved me...again!" Fitz called with his hands up.
"Step out and we won't kill you on the spot." I turned around and saw another quinjet aiming a gun at me. I walked out from behind the compartment. I looked down at the road and saw the others staring at me. "Put your hands where we can see them!" I raised my hands. The other quinjet landed and 20 men came over to me. They pushed me near the roof towards the man who was commanding the attack on me.
"Watch it," I said. I looked at the people pushing me forward, behind them Fitz stood clearly worried for me.
"Daisy..." He started. Suddenly, I felt an all too familiar pain in my left shoulder, I had been shot.
I felt my legs give out beneath me and I fell forward, off of the building. "Daisy!" Fitz. Jemma and two familiar voices shouted in union.
Robbie POV
I was walking through the street when I saw Percy chilling out on his own. "Hey, Percy!" I said.
"Hey, Robbie. What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing, you?"
"Do you know why those people are crowded around that area?"
"No idea, let's check it out."
"Sure."
"Look at our luck. There's a swimming pool right there." I said pointing at a pool next to a reasonably tall building. We walked through the crowd and saw Simmons and three other people looking up at a building. "Simmons what are you doing?" I asked her.
She pointed up at the building next to the swimming pool I was talking about. There was a jet hovering in-front of the building and another jet at the side of it. "D-Daisy." She stuttered.
"What!?" Percy shouted. We looked at where she pointing, then we heard a pained scream.
Someone plummeted towards the floor whilst Simmons, Me, Percy, and a different voice screamed "Daisy!" In instinct, I ran towards Daisy and I felt my skull ignite on fire before water pushing me off of the ground and into Daisy's direction. Yes, Percy! I caught Daisy and Percy lowered us to the ground slowly.
"R-Rob-ie?" She whispered. I looked up at the roof of the building and saw a man with a gun looking down at us. I looked at Daisy again and saw that she had a shot wound in her shoulder. I could suddenly feel anger boiling up inside me. I put Daisy in Percy's arms and he looked at me worried.
"Robbie, calm down." He said.
"Oh god," Jemma whispered looking at me.
"Oh god, what? What's oh god?" A man in a suit with blond hair next to her said. The man Jemma said was Coulson whilst explaining how they gave Daisy alien blood to save her life.
"He's going to unleash the devil...again." She whispered.
I felt myself shaking as I looked back up at the man who I thought had shot her. "No R-Robbie," Daisy said from Percy's arms.
I screamed in rage as the rider broke free. I scaled the building and when I got to the top I saw a man who I recognised as Fitz from Daisy's story. I didn't touch him but I tore through the rest of the men. I picked up Fitz and jumped to the road. "We need to get her help." the Asian woman next to Coulson said.
"Simmons and..." Coulson started, he looked at Percy.
"Percy," he told him.
"Simmons and Percy, get her somewhere safe Fitz, you go with them. May, Mack, Robbie, let's find the shooter."
I turned back to my original form, "But I thought-"
"They aren't the ones who shot her."
"They deserved what they got. The rider can tell how bad someone is, he hated those guys."
"Ok. Let's go find the actual shooter." Coulson said.
"But uh who are you?" I was directing the question to the one I didn't know from the stories Daisy and Simmons told me, but they all answered.
"I'm Mack."
"May."
"Coulson, nice to meet you Robbie, but I have to ask, how did you know Simmons and Daisy."
I explained what happened two days ago. "Don't be mad at Simmons, we made her promise not to tell you guys.
"I'll let it slide," Mack said.
"Let's catch this bastard," May said, and I smiled at her and nodded.
