Chapter 1

"Sorry ..." Daisy murmured to her colleagues, before jumping into the inter-dimensional gate that had opened the Ghost Rider.

She narrowly passed and fell to the ground in the snow before turning back to see the portal close. The temperature had easily lost about twenty degrees. Robbie, who had already advanced several meters, turned and the surprise could be read on his face, which rarely showed his emotions. Their eyes met. Robbie's question did not need to be asked. She shook her head slightly, shrugging her shoulders. She did not know what had taken her. She had not planned to do that. Far from there. Her body reacted without warning and here it is, in another dimension, maybe even on another planet. Her action was bound to have a reason, but she did not know it yet. She got up slowly getting rid of the excess snow under Robbie's angry gaze, which she carefully avoided. She watched the landscape around them. They were on a small plain surrounded by bare trees, all covered with an impressive winter coat. The mountain was right next to them, showing rocks all over the place.

"No me lo creo!" The Ghost Rider snarled, resuming his way.

Daisy pursed his lips, believing she understood the young man's anger. She had left his little brother in the hands of SHIELD when he had specifically asked her to take care of him, although technically she had not answered. As the Latino man moved away with a heavy step, she felt a strange vibration emanate from the ground and a crackle was heard. She understood in a fraction of a second.

"Robbie! Watch out!" She shouted but too late the mechanic's foot crossed the ice below him.

His body fell into the frozen water. He tried to rise to the surface immediately but banged his head against the wall. Strangely, the ice had already reformed. Daisy used her power to crack the ground again. Robbie was able to get his head out of the water and finally take a deep breath. She could not get close or she would end up in the same situation. She then noticed an imposing rock a few meters away. She split the ice to create a path to Robbie to the rock. He climbed without much difficulty, the book still under his arm. The ice closed immediately. The vibrations intensified and suddenly a gigantic ice creature came out of the ground before attacking the inhuman. She ran towards the trees, certain that the creature could not follow her outside his field, but that was without counting the wall of ice that rose in front of her. Daisy turned quickly and launched her first attacks to break the ice monster. The creature exploded but recovered immediately before wanting to impale her in a spade. She thought she has seen everything, but she was attacked by the monster of a frozen lake. Fate took pleasure in contradicting her. She felt the ice crack under her feet, ready to engulf her. She propelled herself into the air and landed on the rocky cliff several meters away, not far from Robbie. The monster sank into the ground before disappearing. Her theory was good, his prey had to be in contact with the ice to be able to attack them. The mechanic approached, jumping from rock to rock. She had to admit she was exhausted. Between her fractures in her arms, the bullets, the shots, and Ivanov's shot, her body had come a long way lately. Sitting, she caught her breath. The Ghost Rider reached her height. He still seemed in a bad mood, but Daisy could not help but smile. He was completely wet and the tips of his hair began to whiten with the cold.

"Cooled?" She quipped, thinking of the second host in the mechanic's body.

He did not smile, however, and she just took the hand he had given her anyway. His hand was incredibly hot. As soon as she was standing, he let go. He showed no reaction to the cold, as if he was immune. Daisy suddenly wondered if she had not underestimated the risks of this trip. It was obvious that she did not have the same resistance as him. He could not be hurt. As for her, she was not prepared at all and she would hate to be an extra charge. She followed him without saying anything when he began to climb. But the calm did not last long. They heard movements around them and soon they were surrounded by armed men wearing traditional Asian outfits. To fight against them would be suicide.

"She's waiting for you." One of the men said, pointing to the top of the mountain.

"Who ?" Daisy whispered to the mechanic.

"We'll find out quickly." he replied, clutching his jaw and following the man who was showing the way.

The hacker was far from reassured. She had a bad feeling. After a good hour's walk, they arrived in front of a stone temple. They were escorted into a huge reception room with a throne in the back and a majestic fountain in the center. Imposing posts ran along the room. A woman entered the room. She wore many gold jewelry. It was hard not to notice the neckline that her red dress valued. A good number of the armed men came out of the room and the others crouched down.

"Welcome to you dear travelers," said the woman with a wonderful smile.

"Were you waiting for us? Robbie asked suspiciously.

"I predicted your arrival." She smiled, approached Daisy's surroundings and watched her for a moment. "All this darkness ... It seems that death is following you. "

The hacker frowned.

"Trip, your mother, all those innocents and Lincoln ..." recited the woman watching Daisy's eyes widen.

This woman had the ability to read in her and touch the most sensitive points.

"But I guess your greatest regret will remain Grant Ward"

This time she will be fists.

"Who are you ?" Asked the inhuman enraged by the mention of the man who had destroyed her from the inside.

"I am Moïra."

She turned now to the Ghost Rider, which still sported his hard look. She studied him for a moment and then frowned.

"Interesting" she finally said without going back. "Your mind seems impenetrable"

She placed a hand on his shoulder, the other against the skin of the man's neck and moved closer to immerse her eyes in his. Robbie's expression relaxed. Satisfied, she grabbed the book held by the mechanic, who let it go without moving. She laid a kiss on the traveler's cheek under the shocked expression of the inhuman.

"Kill her." she ordered, clutching the book against her.

Obviously it was a trap. She only wanted the book. Robbie turned to Daisy, his eyes fully dilated.

"Robbie?" She called back as he came dangerously close to her. "I thought you had an impenetrable mind!" She quipped.

"That's why I jailed him" said Moïra proudly.

Daisy noticed a red mark on his teammate's neck before taking a straight line in her cheek. She could not believe he had hit her. She stooped to avoid the second shot and ran in the opposite direction to attack the enchantress. But an arm grabbed her and sent her violently against one of the posts. She collapsed to the ground.

"Robbie! It's not you ... " the realization hit her at the same time as the mechanic's fist.

She had to find a way to extract it from the hold. She rolled on the ground, kicked the mechanic's leg, who put one knee on the ground. She took the opportunity to return the blows she had received in the face.

"Sorry Robbie, but I'm not going to let you kill me! "

She sent a shock wave against the extra-lucid who hit the wall and lost consciousness. Despite this, the spell did not seem to have broken. Some guards rushed towards the unconscious woman while others took out their sharp weapons in the direction of the inhuman. She dismissed the mechanic with one hand to take charge of the attackers. She avoided a dagger that lodged in the wall and took it for use as a weapon but she did not want to hurt them, they certainly had to be in the same situation as Robbie. She knocked out as much as possible in a few seconds, but she could not avoid every stroke. Suddenly, the bewitched Ghost Rider grabbed her from behind and squeezed her chest. Daisy moaned in pain but swung her head back to hit him, which made him let go. She took out the dagger she had stuck in her belt and planted it in the young man's shoulder. She could not stand to see Robbie's face writhing in pain but it was a matter of survival. She took the opportunity to push him and put him on the ground. She hit his head against the ground hoping that he would lose consciousness like the others but she must have forgotten who she was fighting against. In one movement, he exchanged their position, removed the dagger from his shoulder and thrust it into the thigh of the inhuman who held her cry. The skilled hands of the mechanic came to strangle the throat of her teammate. She was in a very bad position and she had to act as quickly as possible. She tried to move but worsened her situation by accentuating the hemorrhage on her thigh. She tried to hit the Ghost Rider's face but could not break free. The air was starting to fail. Then she had an illumination. She put her hands on the sides of the mechanic's skull and sent shock waves. He shouted. She prayed not to kill him, then she was relieved when his head suddenly ignited. She exchanged a glance with the demon who released his grip. She had never been so happy to see him. She finally took a breath, coughing to relax the muscles in her throat. The demon charged the witch trying to escape. He caught her. She was terrified. Without mercy, he burned her to the last bone. Still on the floor, Daisy was watching the scene. The guards seemed to wake up. Some cried, others howled with rage, who knows how long they were there. The Ghost Rider turned to the inhuman and gave her a nod before giving way to the owner of the body. Robbie frowned, trying to piece together what had happened. Daisy sat down and withdrew the dagger without being able to hold back her moan. She did not know how long her body was going to hold, she already had her head spinning. She took off her belt and wrapped it around her thigh.

"Daisy ..." gently called Robbie as he approached, guilt felt even in his voice.

She raised her head. He did not have a scratch. She smiled slightly.

"Lucky you" she said, with her broken vocal cords.

She was referring to a conversation she already had with him. He did not let go of his serious look. She took a deep breath and got up with a grimace. She could not walk properly with her thigh injury. She limped to one of the unconscious guards to take his bag over her shoulder. She searched it, got rid of the useless and carried it on the shoulder. She went to the burning remains of the sorcerer. She studied it for a moment and then squatted as she could to take the gold jewelry still intact. She grabbed the Darkhold and buried it in the bag. She met the gaze of the mechanic who had followed her silently.

"Are you getting us out of here? She asked in her muffled voice.

He nodded, turned around, tugged on his chain and opened a new portal. He held out his hand, which she took without hesitation.

I hope you enjoyed and hope to see Robbie in Season 5…

English is not my mother tongue. I'm French, if you see some errors tell me!

I do not know when I'm going to post the next chapter. I'm preparing a competition to become a teacher... but I intend to finish this story!

I'm eager to read yours comments!
