Chapter 1
Daisy made her way down the dirt road path, the first time she had been on this road was with Lincoln, and then Hive. Daisy shook her head, not wanting to think about either one of them, thinking about both of them brought back too many bad memories, and too many good ones.
She opened the old gate and noticed that somehow he had gotten a new trailer to replace the one that had blown up six months earlier. She'd rather not know how he had gotten the money for it, but she'd probably ask anyways.
Daisy slowly made her way to the door, hoping to not step on any land mines this time. Maybe he hadn't put out new ones yet but she'd rather be safe than sorry. Taking a deep breath, Daisy knocked on the door loudly, a few moments later she heard rushing footsteps and then the door opened a sliver. Daisy was met with a gun poking out of the small gap.
"Really James?" She quipped, raising an eyebrow. The door slammed in her face, and then opened up all the way a second later.
"What are you doing here flower?" He glared at her, cautious of her intentions. Daisy sighed
"Can I come in? Coulson almost caught me, I need a drink." James nodded in understanding, stepping out of the way to let her in.
"What's with the gun? Are you that paranoid that SHIELD is going to come after you?" Daisy smirked at him as she opened the fridge and grabbed a beer. James rolled his eyes at her
"Yeah I'm a little worried, with those damn accords I'm now an unregistered inhuman and I worked for Hive. I'm not their favorite guy Dais, and what's with the getup? You think some wig and leather is gonna conceal you forever?" Daisy sat down on the couch and shook her head, ignoring his last comment.
"You were brainwashed, and if you're so damn worried about them finding you then why the hell did you come back here?" James shrugged and sat down next to her on the couch
"I don't know, I just felt like I needed to go back to something comfortable and safe after everything Hive made me do ya know?" Daisy nodded
"I wish it was that simple for me." James looked over at her, wringing his hands together
"Yeah I've uh- I've seen the articles about you, what are they calling you? Quake right?" James chuckled; Daisy rolled her eyes
"I just- I can't do this whole 'saving the world' bullshit anymore. I dedicated my life to SHIELD and for what? I lost both of my parents, Ward was HYDRA the entire time I knew him and then he died, and then came back as Hive who brainwashed the both of us, and then Lincoln sacrificed himself for what? SHIELD took everything from me James, I have so much pent up anger that I need to release it." She got up from the couch, staring out the window, looking at the dead yard. James sighed, leaning back against the couch, not knowing what to say. Daisy turned and leaned against the window
"So how did you get a new trailer?" She cocked her head at him, changing the subject.
"After that Malick guy died, Hive told me he took over all of Hydra's bank accounts for his world domination thing and he told me where they were. I was his right hand man after all." Daisy rolled her eyes
"Right hand man huh? Since when?" She questioned crossing her arms across her chest, James stood up and walked towards her
"Since he had me recruit the abominations for his inhuman experiment, he had me involved in all of his plans with the nuke, and I was there when your gang shocked him or whatever the hell they did to him and he started remembering that Ward guys life, I got him out SHIELD and well I can't really think of anything else at the moment but still." He shrugged, Daisy raised an eyebrow at him and nodded
"Whatever you say then," Daisy shrugged "I have another thing to ask you though."
"What's that?"
"Coulson is hunting me down, big time. I need a place to crash for a few days, maybe a week or two just to get off the radar. You got a couch I can sleep on?" James gave her a small smile, realizing that she really had no one else to go to.
"Of course you can flower. But I'll take the couch, you can have my bed." Daisy punched his arm lightly
"Thanks James."
