Hellfire's "gift"
~3 hours ago~
James POV
Below me, I saw the remaining Watchdogs on the boat get taken out by an angry woman with a gun. I had just taken out Quake so I thought it was a job well done. I can take out the other two another time, hopefully, they leave soon.
Suddenly, I watched as Quake was lifted out of the water. What the hell? An inhuman? No, I don't think that's it; I've seen water Inhumans before. This... this was different. The water levitating her placed her down on the boat. The girl ran over to Quake and got to her knees while the guy stood, a worried expression consuming his face.
Dammit. How did they do that? They ain't Inhumans. I stood up from my crouched position on the roof. I have a plan, why don't I leave a get well soon gift for Quake. I crept over to a compartment on the boat and waited for the two to come in.
"How did you do that?" The girl said in a thick British accent.
"I already told you, had it from birth, because I'm a-"
"Demi-God, yeah, yeah. I know." Wait what? He's a Demi-God? Must be of the sea or water or something right? I knew he wasn't an Inhuman.
"I have to admit it was kinda cool to see you flip-out on those Watchdogs." The Demi-God said.
"Well, they hurt my friend, now you know what happens if you turn on her Percy." So his name is Percy? Interesting.
"Chill it Jemma-"
"Simmons." She corrected. Wait so is her name Jemma, or Simmons? Or is it both?
"Sorry, Simmons. I promise I won't turn on your friend unless she turns on me."
"Ok, good to hear it, Jackson."
"Alright, you may be called by your last name, but I go by Percy, not Jackson." So I was right, they are both her name. Jemma Simmons, and Percy Jackson. That's what the other one is called. Anyway, where are they taking her?
"Yep, sorry Percy."
"Don't sweat it, lets just get Daisy to a bed ok?"
"Ok." They carried Quake to a room on the South-West side of the boat. After carefully putting her on the bed, they went over to a separate to talk and get to know each other. A few months back, I found a paralysing grenade, and now would be a good time to use it. Then I could finish them all off easily.
I sneaked in and looked down at an unconscious Quake, contemplating whether I should just go ahead and kill her. Inhumans are my target. But this should knock them all out. That is if they're in this room. There will probably be at least one person in her room - even if its just Quake. But there will most likely be another person in here; so I'll only have to deal with one before I can get to the other two.
I left the room and checked to see what the other two were doing. Percy had just sat down in Quake's room beside her, good thing I left when I did, whereas Simmons was looking out for Watchdogs.

Daisy POV
Darkness... That's all I could see. I could feel myself sinking. Until I froze. I wasn't sinking anymore. Not sinking, rising. I could see the darkness fading. The sunlight above chasing it away. The water around me wasn't moving, but the water beneath me was. I couldn't hold onto the little light that was above me; I passed out...
~Current time (still Daisy's POV)~
I could feel the light bleeding into my closed eyes, I definitely wasn't in the water, I wasn't drowning. But how? I slowly opened my eyes; the light was blinding, so I put my hand over my face, in an attempt to block out some of the light. After my eyes got used to it I slowly sat up and looked at my surroundings. I was in a very grey room, like grey everywhere.
I looked out of the window placed on the left-hand side of the room. Through it, I saw Simmons, Percy and...wait, Robbie? What the heck? When did he get here? He wasn't here before. Why is he here? I was knocked out of my thought journey by the door being thrown open. Simmons ran in and hugged me.
"Daisy..." Was all she could say. She ended the hug and I could see her wide smile.
"Daisy, how are you feeling?" Percy asked.
"Good, or at least, not drowning." I said, "Speaking of... how?"
"How what?" he asked.
"How am I not drowning?" I asked.
"Yeah, I would like to know that too," Robbie stated, looking at me and then Percy.
"I'm not sure I feel comfortable sharing my secret in-front of ghost rider."
"Come on, I trust him,. Plus, he's not the only vigilante you'd be sharing that secret with."
"Right... Quake." He looked at me, then sighed in defeat. "Fine I'll tell you but you have to keep it a secret." Robbie and I looked at each other before we nodded. "Basically, I'm a Demi-God."
My mouth dropped open before I looked at Robbie and he was in the exact same amount of shock as I was.
"Which one? I mean, who is the godparent?" Robbie asked.
"Poseidon." He answered.
"This is so cool." he paused his face from exiting to curious to worried. "What's that?" Robbie asked pointing at a small cabinet. Inside of it was flashing red.
Simmons cautiously approached the cabinet and opened it. "Grenade! It's a grenade! Get back!" She shouted. We all rushed out of the room and closed the door.
"Was it on a timer?" I asked.
"Yes, we have 30 seconds."
"Ok, good we got out when we did."
Suddenly, James ran inside and grabbed the grenade before seeing us. We backed up slowly before breaking into a run. We hid in a small white room with nothing in it.
"These aren't his firebombs, it doesn't look like a normal bomb either, I'm probably not immune," Robbie whispered.
We heard the muffled voice of Hellfire approaching us. "Come on, don't you want a little fun...Quake." Without warning he broke into the room we were in the grenade with only three seconds left. He was about to drop it and run before Simmons pulled him into a tight hug so that the grenade had a higher chance of not hitting us and just the two of them: like what she did on the train over 9 months ago.
The grenade exploded with a blue mist instead of the big red explosion, and Simmons and James dropped to the ground.
I ran over to Simmons, her pulse was still there. I nodded to the other two and they both exhaled. "It's the same one from the train." I murmured.
They both looked at me. "Excuse me what? Explain." Robbie said, sitting on the floor; Percy and I followed his lead.
"Well it was over 9 months ago and I had barely gotten on the team when we went out to stop a train full of people working for someone called Raina, or at least that's who we think was in charge. They had a bomb which let of a gas which paralysed anyone in it. Me and Fitz were fighting this guy, neither of us were very good at it back then, when he pulled out a grenade. The grenade James used, to be exact. Simmons rushed in and did exactly what she just did."
"Ok..." Percy said slowly, "Who's Fitz?"
"Yeah and the rest of your team?"
"My old team. Well, ther-"
"Wait, old team?" Percy asked emphasising the word old.
"Yeah, I left a few months back because someone who died when it should've been me."
"Well, why would that matt-" Robbie began.
"Was it Lincoln?" Percy interrupted. I nodded slowly.
"Who's Lincoln?" Robbie asked.
"Dead boyfriend," Percy answered, "Go on..."
"First there was Simmons," I began gesturing to Simmons, "She was Biochemistry. There was also Fitz, who was engineering, Mack the mechanic, Coulson, he was the team leader. And May was the Cavalry, she was very skilled when it came to combat; but, I heard that her cooking, not the best." They laughed a little when I finished but then I saw Simmons finally starting to stir. "Jemma?" I said.
"Daisy? What happened." She asked getting off the floor.
"It was the same grenade that we saw on the train 9 months ago, you know, the day I got shot."
"Oh, that train."
"Wait, wait, wait, you got shot?" Percy asked.
"Yes twice, now's not the ti-"
"Twice!?" Robbie joined in.
"Yes pay attention."
"Where!?" They both asked,
"In the stomach."
"How are you still alive!?" Robbie screamed, "You aren't like me!"
"Alien blood. I'll explain later." I said.
"Wait, you still haven't told me how you got shot either." Jemma chimed in.
"Then stick around when I tell these dodos." I continued.
"Hey!" Percy said. James began to stir which shut everyone up.
"Now you've done it," I whispered angrily.
"Now that! That was very brave of y-" James began.
"Go to sleep," I said before sending a Quake and knocking him back out.
"What do we do with him?" Jemma asked.
"Lock him up, wait 'till SHIELD get here," I said.
"Wait, you're actually going to stick around for SHIELD?" Simmons asked.
"No, of course not... you are. But I'm heading for the docks."
"I'm with you on that one," Robbie said.
"Me too," Percy said.
"Don't tell anyone you saw me, or who Robbie is, or what Percy is," I said looking at Simmons.
"Ok I won't, I promise," Simmons said.
