3)Bargaining 4)Depression 5)Acceptance

Breadstixs  22:45

She always believed she would be once again happy.Daisy had made it very clear that she hated Grant Ward with all her heart and soul.If something,the fact that she repeatidly shot him was enough of a proof.She shouldn't be affected by his death in a level more than the greater good.

Her team used to blame Coulson for killing Ward-but not because they had affection-purely because without him,Hive wouldn't have woken up.So right now,she should be thinking how to destroy Hive once and for all,not what is happening to Ward.

That man was dead....

Or was he?Was there even a slim chance that somwhere inside the ancient Inhuman laid the man she--cared?

"You know my parents used to tell me how unpolite is leaving your guests alone"

Daisy didn't bother to pay attention to Hunter's words.He slowly sat beside her bed and stared at her without talking.The older man meant well,she knew that for a fact,but it wasn't like she wanted to talk to him about her problems.

Wait no,she did want to talk to him about her problems.But she felt like she shouldn't,like she wasn't allowed,called it whatever you want.It was times like this when she could hear Ward's words of "love being a weakness" ringing inside her head.Everytime she got attached to someone,she ended up loosing them.

"Do you want to talk about it?"The woman shook her head and clutched her pillow.Of course,this wasn't a good answer for Hunter.Normally,he wouldn't care.If this happened six years ago he wouldn't bother hearing about one's problems especially a girl's.But once someone becomes the only human being you interract with,you need to learn how to listen.

"Is it about him again?"

Daisy was taken aback from the question as she stared at him in confusion"I don't know what you're talking about"

"You've gotten drunk once or twice"he chuckled"I mean,I don't get everything you say but,you were talking about a guy who died so I figured"he stopped once again.The man was uncertain of what to say,or to be more percise,how to say it.

"I lost someone important too and I can tell whether it has happen to someone else also.So just like I know these children lost many people dear to them,I know you did too.Even without our drunk conversations"

Daisy let out a sigh escape her lips as she played with her fingers staring at the ground.Hunter waited for her to talk,a bit uncertain of whether she would actually talk to him.

"Do you believe there are bad people?"

"No"it was a short reply.He didn't have to think of it or even question his judgement.He knew that fact and out of selfishness-and only out of selfishness-he would say that nobody was bad.But maybe,just maybe,being selfish was one of the few things that made himself bad.

"Aren't you a bit naive?How about all those assasins in the world?Or people who torture and kill others?Even W.C.K.D is considered bad"

"Nobody is bad,Daisy.People are just misguided"he whispered and turned to face her"When the darkness tries to beat the light,you sometimes need to embrace it"

"And what happens when you do?"

"It eats you alive"he laughs.Hunter knew that from personal experience,he had made some things he wasn't proud of.Daisy felt her heart getting a bit heavier as she opened her mouth to speak"Okay but what about closure?"

"What do you mean?"

"Could someone who was misguided be redeemed?"

"Is that what your problem is?You think you weren't able to save someone?Cause if that's the case,there was nothing you could"

"Yes there was"she spat at him"I can't help thinking about the what ifs.What if I had made a different call?What if he had made a different call?"the questions kept on going without an ending.She could think about changing many things from big parts like how she shot him to smaller details like one kiss happening earlier.

"What if I had saved him in time?"her last question came as a whisper and the last thing she felt before closing her eyes was Hunter holding her.

"You shouldn't bargain yourself,sometimes you just need to say goodbye.God knows what he's doing"

But does he really?

Mckinley High,choir room 22:50

They say depression is the worst out of the five stages.In fact,it is a very common phenomenon to be never able to move from it.Deep down Santana Lopez was quite certain that she wouldn't either.

She had lost so many people during the apocalypse that she had lost count.So the death of one Quinn Fabray only brought the memories of her loved ones back.

She laughed a bit at her thoughts,the girl who had escaped death once-who had laughed and smiled at dying-was dead.Probably died as an insane person too.What a way to leave...

But maybe this was better.Quinn would be able to see an old friend-because Santana was certain that the tall douchebag went to Heaven-and be reunited with her son and daughter.Who knew?Perphaps she would see her son,also,when going up there.

Things up there couldn't be worse than this,so maybe it was for the best.

However,there was still something holding her down.Something that made her heart heavier with every moment.She held her leg as she sat down,sure her heart ached,but her leg wasn't good either.She lifted the bottom part of her pants and stared at the 'scar'.

She wanted to cry a bit at the memory the mark created.Santana remembered that very moment as clearly as she remembered adopting hers and Brit's son.Even though she knew she would never forget it,that stupid Ψ.Υ.Χ.Η experiment would be a constant reminder.

I'm making a fool of myself

She wanted to argue with that-she did-she wanted to tell him that he wasn't.She wanted to grab his stupid face and kiss him just because he wasn't making a fool of himself.He was a great man-and Santana didn't know they existed anymore-and he had made her feel alive and even loved.He woke up a spark inside her and that was the only way one could put it.

But no,they didn't stand a chance together.Not because of their being different-they were the same side of the same coin-but because he was late.She couldn't help but thinking,what if she hadn't be married to Brittany?What if she had met the real him before she made a life with someone else?

Santana: Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street

Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly

Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall

Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all

She let a chuckle escape her lips and continued.

Losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

But loving him was red,loving him was red

It was funny-much alike to black humour-but she found herself getting lost in some of her past memories.It was like building a world of her own to pretend that things were better there.Because in her heart,she knew that things wouldn't get any better here.

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you

Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song

Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer

Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong

Her life had become dark like the night.It would be a lie to say that she wasn't suicidical at times-of course that wasn't because she lost Sebastian,god forbid her loosing her mind over a man-it was the mixed feeling of the fear and grief.It was being afraid of doubting the future and past.

Losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

But loving him was red oh, red

Burning red

Sometimes she wished nobody loved her and nobody cared.She wished that she could just end it all without anyone missing her,without having second thoughts that held her back.But then again,Santana didn't have the guts to pull a trigger-not to her and not to anyone.

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes

Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go But moving on from him is impossible

When I still see it all in my head

In burning red

Burning, it was red

Why had she become suddenly weak?This wasn't the girl from Lima Heights that could kick your ass.She was just that girl you'd expect to die from episode two.And to be honest,that was what she was expecting.

Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

'Cause loving him was red

Yeah, yeah, red

We're burning red

And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head

Comes back to me, burning red

Yeah, yeah

His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street

Football field, 23:00

"It's quiet tonight,isn't it?"Puck's voice brought the short brunette back to reality.She turned to look at him as he sat next to her.Rachel was lying next to Finn's tree,gazing at the moon and stars shining bright.

"You decided to talk to me"

"I lost my temper"he snapped at her with an angry tone.He clutched his fist and tapped his foot before facing her"Quinn meant the world to me"

"I know"

"No,let me finish"he cut her"I knew she wasn't happy with me,at least not as happy as she was with you but"

Rachel didn't look at him for a while.She knew how the story went down and in a way,Rachel was the 'bad guy'.So she wasn't thrilled about hearing Noah reminding it to her.

"I gave you and her my blessings because I knew you wouldn't hurt her in any way.But you did,you hurt her more than any person could ever"

"Is this supposed to be a pep talk or something?"

"I'm getting there"he chuckled"We have all make our mistakes,things we'd do different if we had the chance,but in the end we need to live with the options that we made"

Rachel gave him a soft smile while she moved closer to where he was sitting"She is really dead,isn't she?She is never coming back"

"I'm afraid so,my Hot Jewish friend"She laughed and punched him in the arm"You just ruined a beautiful moment"

"But you laughed so it was worth it"

No,Noah wasn't ready to forgive Rachel.He might as well never be able to do so,but no matter what she was his friend.Besides,this was the end of the world,both of them could die the next day.

Audiotorium, 24:28

Brittany sat on the stage and moved her legs up and down like a small kid bored of waiting for something.Mercedes walked towards her with a smile on her face.

"Brit?"

"Hm?"

"Look what I got"the dark skinned woman smirked and handed the blonde a chocolate bar.The girl's eyes shined a bit-like everytime she saw a chocolate-but she eventually put it next to her.

"I'm not hungry"

Mercedes sighed and put sat next to her"Okay blondie,want to tell me what's on your mind?"

"Many things"Brittany whispered"I miss my family,I miss Quinn"

"We all miss her Brit"Mercedes smiled softly at her.Brittany was someone very easy to break,Mercedes knew that without Santana constantly reminding her of it,so she needed to be careful.Because once you broke something,not even the strongest glue could fix it.

"I know but,it isn't just Quinn.Kurt,Jake and Unique are dead.My little boy is dead and so is most of my family.Plus Lord Tubbington has most likely start smoking again"The two of them shared a laugh.

Brittany:Summer after high school when we first met

We make-out in your Mustang to Radiohead

And on my 18th Birthday

We got matching tattoos

Mercedes smiled once more at Brittany who sang the song slowly.

Used to steal your parents' liquor

And climb to the roof

Talk about our future

Like we had a clue

Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

Brittany extended her hand for Mercedes to reach it and join her.The woman did so with a tear escaping her eyes.

Both:In another life I would be your girl

We keep all our promises

Be us against the world

In another life I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away

The two of them didn't really sing together back in highschool.Actually,they didn't really hang out back in highschool.However, Mercedes knew that the younger girl was at a crucial point and no one was there to help her.

Brittany:I was June and you were my Johnny Cash

Never one without the other

We made a pact Sometimes when I miss you

I put those records on (Mercedes:whoa)

Someone said you had your tattoo removed

Saw you downtown singing the Blues

It's time to face the music

I'm no longer your muse

Brittany sniffed her nose at her sleeve as the tears becoming streaming down her face.

Both:In another life I would be your girl

We keep all our promises

Be us against the world

In another life I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away

The one, the one, the one

The one that got away

The blonde rested her head against Mercedes shoulder and closed her eyes for some seconds.And let me tell you that for Mercedes,these seconds,were the most quiet for the blonde.

Brittany:All this money can't buy me a time machine

(Mercedes:No) Can't replace you with a million rings

(Mercedes:No) I should told you what you meant to me

(Mercedes:Whoa) Cause now I pay the price

Both:In another life I would be your girl

We keep all our promises

Be us against the world

In another life I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away

The one, the one, the one

In another life I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away

Location:Undentified, time:Uknown

"Everything is going according to plan"the blonde girl smirked.She was standing in the shadows hiding her face but anyone with eyes could see her torn clothes.Her voice was raw and emotionless.

"Is what everyone says when things go terribly wrong"a man sneered at her.He was wearing expensive clothes and looked quite old in a scary way"If you mess this up--"

"I won't"she barked at him"Not that it is any of your business.It chose me for a reason"

"It chose you out of luck"the man laughed"It could have been anyone,you were just the strongest to turn right away"

"Keep telling yourself that,grandpa"

"Enough"he growled and smashed his fist against the table"It needs to know where your loyalities lay"

"Isn't it obvious?I threw my brother at the wolf's plate"she laughed while fixing her hair"I think we all know where I'm loyal to"

"I guess we need to test it"

"So what do you prefer WCKD is good or Hail Hydra?"

"Neither"he stated sharply"I just need you to kill one more person before you've earned its trust"

"I'll do it,just give me a name"

"Thomas Anderson"

 
Notes:

Yes I know what you're thinking...boring!Why is this a faberry and newtmas story if both newt and quinn are dead?How can you tag this as Skyeward when the only reference to them is Daisy mentioning his death and be sad about it?Is this how every chapter is gonna go?Why do they sing all the time?!

And I have the answers to these and every other question you'd like to ask.

So,to begin with,Quinn and Newt are not dead.Sure I could leave this as a plot twist but lets be realistic here!I'm bring these two back in different ways,so while Newt-and whoever is with him-will be fine,Quinn will be damaged.

Grant Ward is Hive,yes I'm keeping that,so he is alive-ish.I tagged this as Skyeward because the two of them ARE going to interract with each other.Hive!Ward has a big part in what's happening because if I haven't given enough clues yet,he created the Flare.So yes you are going to see Grant Ward in later chapters.

No,this is not how every chapter is going to.In fact in the next chapter I'm preparing the interaction between Hunter/Daisy and New Directions.Which means that in about two chapters,the Gladers will also meet New Direction.So after a 'discovery' the adevnture will begin.

It's Glee.Enough said,be prepared for about two songs in each chapter(or one or three)but remember that the chapters are actually quite long in order for singing to not be irritative.
