She didn't know what she was supposed to do. She'd admitted to still loving him, yet that didn't change the fact that he was still dead, or that he had probably died hating her. Then there was the other problem she was facing now. Daisy's gaze drifted to the electric inhuman sitting with his arm wrapped around her shoulder.

She couldn't recall when he'd placed his limb around her, she'd been too caught up in her own thoughts to even pay attention to the movie they were watching, let alone his movements. Now she regretted agreeing to movie night. Even if they weren't alone, it was clear Lincoln thought of this as more than just friends watching a movie together.

Then again she hadn't done anything to discourage his advances. Really she'd been returning them until she'd realized what they had wasn't what she wanted. No, she wanted the serial killer that tortured Fitz-Simmons till one of them cracked about the portal. The one that had shot Rosalind just so Coulson could watch the one he loved bleed out and die in his arms. The one that tortured and nearly killed Bobbi.

Ward hadn't shown any signs that he still cared for his old team. That made her wonder what he must have thought of her. She had shot him, four times, and expressed nothing but hatred for him since. He must have hated her for everything.

"You're trembling."

Daisy's brow furrowed as she looked down at herself. "No I'm not."

"That's not what I mean." Lincoln's breath made the hair on the back of her neck stand on end, reminding her of their position. He was beckoning to the shaking drinks on the coffee table in front of them, they stopped the moment she looked at them. It was then the quake inhuman noticed he wasn't the only one watching her carefully.

All the room's occupants were. Fitz-Simmons were trying to pretend they hadn't but were watching her from the corner of their eyes. Joey and Hunter were a lot more obvious looking directly at her, and May was standing by the door, she must have moved there when she noticed. She didn't know where Mack had disappeared to.

"Daisy." As usual the superior S.H.I.E.L.D Agent betrayed nothing as she called her to follow. She was happy for the excuse to leave, she didn't want Lincoln asking questions she didn't feel up to yet.

The hacker wasn't sure if Coulson had told her mentor of her feelings for Ward, but she trusted May not to be surprised. She might have already figured it out on her own anyway. She wouldn't judge her either, just as Daisy didn't judge her for the love she still held for Andrew. They had both fallen in love with a monster, it wasn't their fault the men they loved were the way they were.

Only difference was May's ex-husband was still alive, he could still cause her pain in the living world. Daisy was only haunted by her love for Ward in her mind and dreams. She wondered how much worse it must be for May, to know Andrew or Lash was still out there hunting inhumans. She knew he said he wouldn't come after her, yet part of her still worried he would no longer see her as a friend, but a threat instead.

May lead them through the halls of the base, not stopping till they reached the monitor room, where she used to spend most her time sitting on the table while hacking from a tablet or laptop. It felt like a life time ago, since she'd last done that. She'd been more focused on helping new inhumans adapt and keeping them safe from the ATCU.

Daisy looked up from the holo-table when she felt May's eyes on her. "Hey, sorry if I freaked everybody out back there.. I was just thinking about-"

"Ward." The older woman finished, not even looking the slightest uncomfortable.

The inhuman was sure some red tinted her cheeks as she nodded slowly, not sure how May had interpreted her reaction to Ward's death. "Did Coulson..?" She left it hanging, figuring the cavalry would finish it for her.

"Tell me? No. He didn't have to, I've know since we worked with Ward to infiltrate Hydra's base in the arctic circle." Her voice was even and, if she wasn't imagining it, comforting. She knew May would always be on her side.

"How could you possibly know I would still love him back then or even now, especially after everything he's done? In just his last days alone he'd done enough to make us all hate him ten times over!"

The woman's lip quirked up on one side, just showing the start of a smirk. "Because you're like me. We may never forgive them, but that won't stop the way we feel."

She almost smiled, those were her thoughts exactly. She would have hugged her, had it not been May she would be hugging. She knew she liked her space. Not being able to find her voice, Daisy nodded her head.

"You may not think so, but you never stopped loving him,Skye." Daisy ignored the slip of her name, knowing May had used it on purpose, reminding her of the past. Ward had never called her by her birth name, she couldn't imagine he'd ever been told what it was. "That's why you couldn't kill him in Porto Rico."

"I wanted to... I really did." The younger woman said, looking down at her shoes like a child caught with her hand in the cookie jar. "His back was turned... I had a clear shot.."

'Never turn your back on the enemy. You taught me that.'

"Just like me." May said again, placing a hand on her shoulder. She immediately thought of how the agent had had to take Andrew down before he killed Lincoln or any of the other inhumans. Instead she'd sedated him and sent him to ATCU holding.

Or at least that's what they had thought, before it was revealed the company was mostly overrun by Hydra. And they weren't looking for a cure, they were testing as many people as they could. She shook her head, trying to pull her thoughts back to the present.

"Hey May?" She hadn't realized the specialist had been making her leave, until she'd noticed the hand missing from her shoulder. "I know this isn't really your thing... Like at all... But... What should I do about Lincoln?"

The cavalry stopped at the door, her face returned to its normal stoic. Daisy half expected her to leave without an answer, that would be just like her, silently saying to figure it out on her own. Yet she didn't.

"That depends."

"Depends on what?"

A smirk broke across the Asian woman's lips. "Who you love more."

That really made the inhuman feel like shaking the base. She already knew who she loved more, that was obvious, it was the one that had never lied to her. The one that had tried his hardest to protect her, even when she didn't want him to. She wanted to know what to tell Lincoln, it's not like she could just tell him she was in love with the hydra agent that Coulson had killed on the alien planet a month ago.

She didn't want to hurt him again, and who knew what would happen if she told him. She couldn't imagine he would want to stick around. Which would be too bad, he was a good friend and an asset to the team. She couldn't imagine her team without him.

May was gone before she could voice her annoyance, leaving Daisy to fight the will to vibrate the entire base into a pile of rubble. Perhaps Bobbi or Simmons were the better options to talk to about boy trouble, but then she was reminded again. Both girls had been tortured by her love interest, Bobbi almost getting killed in the process. She'd have to be daft to talk to them about something like this.

She really needed a girl friend who had no idea who Ward was, that was the only way she'd be able to talk to anyone but May about this. Destiny really had it out for her.

'Is it really that hard to see? It's love. Agent Ward believes if he helps Sky fulfill her destiny, she'll see him for what he really is.'

Why couldn't she have done something different then, perhaps this all could have been avoided if she had just admitted she loved him when he was still alive. That would have been so much simpler than this. Even if he was a mole for hydra.

"Oh Ward.." Daisy sighed, running a hand through her hair. "What am I going to do...?"

'Hey. We are gonna be okay.'

She grimaced, that memory pulling her back to when she'd discovered Ward was Hydra. Damn memories, she was almost tempted to go through the T.A.H.I.T.I. Protocol herself. Not that Coulson would ever agree to it, just to erase the parts that kept coming back to haunt her.

"Daisy?"

'Skye!'

The brunette flinched away from the hand reaching out to her, her muscles tensing to send the person across the room, her hands extending. She stopped mid-reflex, realizing the one who had spoken was not Ward nor were they a danger to her.

Lincoln was eyeing her warily, probably still expecting her to throw him back out the door for spooking her. "Sorry, I didn't accidentally shock you did I?" He looked like he actually thought he might have, when it was unlikely since he already had control of his powers.

"No. No, I was just caught up in old memories." She said, mentally cursing herself for the question that was bound to follow. There was no way he wouldn't ask which memories.

He raised a brow, following her gaze to the table. He had no idea how different she was from the hacktivist she'd once been. He didn't even know that girl, he barely even knew who Skye was, just Daisy. The inhuman he'd been assigned to transition. Did all transitioners end up going for their charge?

"Before you went through the mist?"

'So that's what happened in Porto Rico'

Daisy scowled, turning away from him to hide it. "Yeah. Things could have been so different..." Alright stop talking now! She mentally yelled, what was she doing. Was she trying to dig herself a grave?

"Maybe so, but you wouldn't be who you are now, if they had been." He said, reaching out to her, a little more cautiously this time. She let him touch her shoulder, but only because she knew pulling away would hurt his feelings.

"Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe I could have prevented all of this, and not just Fitz-Simmons being tortured, but even Simmons being pulled through the portal. I could have stopped Ward from killing Rosalind, from almost killing Bobbi. Everything!"

"That also means Coulson wouldn't have killed Ward, he could do a lot more than what he did if he were still alive." Daisy had been hoping he would overlook that one detail, as it would only push her down the road she was not ready for.

"If I did what I wish I had, Ward wouldn't have any reason to do those things, he could've been saved." God, Lincoln was going to hate her so much after this. He would never forgive her, he had never known the Ward she had, and he'd only heard bad from everyone else.

She didn't dare look at the blonde, she didn't want to know what he was thinking. "In this... other time, you and I wouldn't have ever met..Would we?"

She really didn't want to look at him now. "That's not completely true. Raina might have still found a way to bring us to the Kree temple." She said, her hand going to hold the one on her shoulder.

"But we wouldn't have had this..." He forced her to look at him, though if she really didn't want to look at him, she could have used her powers. She was surprised by what she saw there, in his eyes. It wasn't anger or disappointment. There was pain, but more than anything there was acceptance. "I knew this would happen sooner or later.."

She had been planning to apologize, but his statement had her drawing a blank. "What? Knew what?" She felt incredibly stupid, as though she was missing something that was completely obvious by the look on his face.

"I've hear the stories, Daisy. I may not have been there to see for myself. But I can see now, you're still not over him."

"Wait Lincoln.. I can explain.." She was silenced by the sad smile that overcame his lips. How did he know.. If he had only heard stories, then did everyone know?

"Don't bother. It was a treat just to have you this long. Besides there's always the future." He was too good for her, he really was. What guy would be willing to wait for her? This was insane. "I'll wait, as long as it takes."

"You really are too good to me. You deserve someone far better." And she meant every word, he really did. The electric inhuman chuckled, pulling her into a full hug, letting his chin rest on the top of her head.

"You don't know how special you are, Daisy."

'You and I see the world differently is all.'

"You're still too good for me." She mumbled, resting her head on his chest. She couldn't imagine how he was feeling on the inside, all she knew was that he was trying to make her happy and still stay with her, at least as a friend. "Thank you, Lincoln."
