Summary: If the alarm hadn't gone off then, Daisy was pretty sure she would have screamed. And when it went up all the SHIELD newsfeeds, Daisy did scream. Because there was one thing for her father to be psychotic. One thing for his memories of her to be removed. One thing to find out he wasn't her father after all. One thing to find out her father was actually Tony Stark. And another thing to find out Steve Rogers had just killed him.

"Your eyes are hallow,

Your heart is bruised,

Your temple has been raided,

Your soul has been shattered,

Was he worth it?

Prologue

"Want to talk facts? Ultron was created because people were too close to Tony Stark. They were blinded by his charm. They trusted him. Never even thought to look at what he was working on. And the Avengers - they let one man do whatever he wanted, and the world was almost destroyed for it."

The chatter in the room was like an uproar to Daisy's ears.

Simmons was babbling about further DNA testing. Fitz couldn't contain his excitement, hands dangling in the air, his voice going up several octaves as Mack was joking about Tremors shaking the shit out of Avengers Tower with Elena cursing in Spanish at his side. Daisy wasn't sure at whom. May was declaring this the stroke that allowed her to contact Bobbi and Hunter. And Coulson…Colson kept asking Daisy if she was alright.

She felt it piercing through her skin, millions of bees wanting to be set free, a feeling so intense it made her think she was going to explode if it didn't get out. A feeling she hadn't felt for almost two years. Her gaze fell on the windows dividing the Playground. Such fragile glass. They had been replaced since then, but to Daisy they were already shattered to the ground, only pieces of the whole they had once been. Just like her.

Daisy closed her eyes shut, blocking out Coulson's growing concerns along with everyone else. She needed to calm herself, otherwise there was a good chance the windows wouldn't be the only things breaking down. And for the hundredth time, Daisy was grateful that most of the Playground was indeed underground.

She told herself it meant nothing. It was just another name added to the long list of those she already had. It didn't mean family. She already had that with SHIELD.

Mary Sue Poots. Skye. Agent Skye. Daisy Johnson. Quake. Daisy Stark.

They were just names.

She felt the bees dying down, and when she opened her eyes, the windows were whole again. But everyone else…everyone else had quitted down and their eyes were fixed on her, so full of concern.

And despite everything, Daisy managed to smile. Because this was family. This was home. And no name was going to take that away from her. Not again.

"This is way cooler than Vader being Luke's father!" Sam announced as he strolled into the room, his arms wide open as if to hug Daisy.

And she would have hugged him. Hell, she would have even laughed out loud.

But then Billy practically flew in and said the only thing Daisy didn't want to hear. He spoke the bare truth out loud.

"Is it true that Daisy is Tony Freaking Stark's daughter?"

And then Daisy exploded.

A/N: I decided to put this down here instead of starting with it, because this had got to be the shortest prologue I have ever written in my life.

Ever since being introduced to the MCU this summer by discovering a little game called Avengers Academy, I've had the idea of Skye/Daisy being Tony's daughter stuck in my brain. I've searched for fanfiction about it, but frankly I couldn't find anything that I actually liked. So I decided that someday I would write my own. That someday came earlier than I expected, however.

Please do keep this in my mind regarding this piece of writing: I have only watched the first two seasons of AOS in whole. As for the movies, I haven't watched Iron Man 3 or Civil War when it comes to those that really count to the plot of this story. However, I love spoilers like no tomorrow, so I kind of already know everything plot-related. When it comes to the details and timing, not so much.

That being said, the timing I have in mind for this is the following:

Daisy was born on July 2nd 1992 (premature, so everything will hopefully add up). That makes her 24 in the story.

This prologue takes place during Civil War. So Siberia hasn't happened yet.

Also, AOS timing, this is set after the midseason finale of season 4, but without Aida going all Ultron or whatever. I'll figure that out once I get there.

As for Jiaying, Cal and all that jazz, I'm gonna figure that out later. Keeping Daisy Asian was my main priority. That fact the first female superhero with powers in the MCU is Asian is simply amazing if you ask me. However, I have always imagined Maria Stark being Latina and I'm positive I will stick with that. I even though Chloe Bennet was Latina until I looked it up. So that makes Daisy both Asian and Latina for this story. We shall see how that goes.

The next update won't happen until I am officially caught up with the show and have watched Civil War.

Sorry for the long note and please let me know what you've thought by reviewing!
