I know I have other stories that need updating and other May/Skye/Daisy issues to address, but this thought popped into my head right as this episode finished, and I couldn't let it go.

Not connected to any thing else, just a speculative one-shot about a series I still don't own.

I watch her eyes widen at the news that everything all comes back to Hydra.

I watch as her brain tries to make sense of the news, and I watch as her brain kicks into to overdrive to connect dots that it doesn't want to connect.

I watch her breath catch though she tries to hide it. And she does from everyone but me.

I watch as her eyes move through the room quickly, and I watch as she starts to bolt from the room. I'm not sure what she's thinking, but it's enough to rattle her.

I watch everyone else look up startled at her sudden burst of movement, still too stunned by the news to realize or even wonder why Daisy left.

I still haven't had a chance to talk to her since everything with Andrew, and I'm still not sure what I want to say or what I want hear her say, but right now I have to set all that aside because she needs me. Maybe more than I need her.

She's not hard to find, she's gotten great control of her powers and emotions since this all started, but whatever she's feeling now is enough to leave light fixtures swinging in her wake. Not enough to shake the rest of the base, I doubt anyone else even noticed.

I follow the lights through to the garage and catch her climbing into the back of an SUV. I give her a moment to shut herself in before I approach.

I knock so she knows I'm there and I open the door go find her in an almost full blown panic attack with tears streaming down her face. I've never seen her look so broken, and I've seen her through a lot.

I don't for sure what's running through her head, I can make a few educated guesses, and it's enough to make me worry.

"Daisy, " I say quietly "what can I do? "

She doesn't respond just stares right at me, but she's not even seeing me.

"Daisy, please, take a deep breath."

I reach out to try and ground her, she flinches, and curls further in on herself. She finally looks up at me and in the saddest most broken voice I've ever heard come out of this girl she asks,

"May...do you think my mom was Hydra?"
