Author's Note: I was kind of bummed that people didn't like the twist in my other MaySkye fic (''When your heart begins to bleed''), so I wrote this. Missing scene from 4x02. Elena tells Daisy that May is dying.


Bus Ride

Finally. Daisy thought as she got on the bus. She took a seat at the back of the vehicle and waited for the familiar voice she knew was going to be there.

" Daisy." Elena greeted her coldly as she took a seat right behind her.

" Thanks for coming." Daisy said. " Do you have the pills?"

" Yes." Elena said but didn't make a move.

" Are you going to actually give them to me?" The girl asked impatiently. She was in a lot of pain. She could use some help sooner rather than later.

The older woman gave Daisy's arm a quick look. "You are going to get yourself killed." She muttered.

Daisy sighed and clutched her left arm awkwardly to her side. " I don't have time for a lecture. Please, just give them to me and go."

Elena stood from her seat and placed herself on the seat next to Daisy's.

" What the hell are you doing?" Daisy snapped. " We can't be seen together."

" We need to talk." The older woman explained.

" I already told you.'' Daisy said through greeted teeth. ''I don't have time for talking."

" Well, May is dying, do you have time for that?"

" What?" A sharp pain shot through the hacker's body and, this time, it wasn't because of the abuse of her powers.

" She is sick.'' Elena said flatly. ''Very sick. I'm sorry."

That only made Daisy angrier. " Is this a trick?" She hissed. " To make me come back? "

" No."

" Did she tell you to say this? Did Coulson-"

" No, Daisy! She was infected with a virus or something. She is out of her mind! She has a few days left, maybe even less than that."

Daisy braced herself. " You are lying." She spat out, refusing to believe that what her ally was saying was true.

Elena shook her head. " Look for yourself." She passed her a tablet. May's fragile, immobile form was all Daisy managed to see before her vision blurred with tears. She bit her lip, something sharp twisting inside her ribs. " You'll find a cure." She mumbled as she gave the tablet back to Elena, refusing to watch whatever video Elena wanted her to see.

" Is that what you have to say?" The Inhuman asked. " I thought you loved her."

" I- I can't." Daisy mumbled as the first tear dribbled down her cheek.

" You can't what? Say goodbye to the woman that taught you everything you know? Be there for your friend who is suffering? Well, keep wasting time and you won't have to do anything!" Elena snapped at her, knowing very well that this was the only way she could make Daisy wake up and realise what she was about to lose.

Daisy squeezed her eyes shut, begging herself not to cry. She did not have the right to cry. Not after what she had done. When she spoke again, her voice was raspy and shallow. " They will arrest me the minute I set foot inside a SHIELD facility. You know that."

" I can sneak you in." Elena said, her voice softening a bit. " I have superpowers too."

Daisy took a deep breath. " Okay." She exhaled. " But if this is a trap-"

" It's not a trap." Elena cut her off, putting an end to their discussion.

Daisy caught herself hoping it was.
