Have fun reading!

Also, for those knew to this, I added to chapters today, so if you want to read both then I recommend reading chapter 13 also.

May wandered through the zephyr one because she was searching for Daisy. Jemma had told her what had happened to her rookie and she just knew that Daisy wasn´t feeling as well as she wanted to make them believe. Being treated as a slave by the enemy and being forced to fight for their pleasure was never good. Sure, she was forced to fight also but it wasn´t the same. The slave part wasn´t there.

She found her in one of the old storage room for cleaning supplies. She sat on the ground with her back to one of the closets with her head in her hands.

"How are you doing?" May asked as she sat down beside the younger woman.

"Good." Was the prompt response she got without Daisy looking her way.

"We both know that that is a lie." May rebuked what Daisy said with a soothing voice. She didn´t want to spook the younger one. She knew that Daisy was in a rather delicate state. Either she got her grips again or she would grumble to pieces. The latter one they had no time to deal with in this situation.

For a few minutes there was nothing apart from silence but May didn´t say anything. She knew that Daisy needed the time before she responded to her. Needed to arrange her thoughts.

"It was crazy. Seeing all those inhumans and knowing that they all just had accepted being slaves. Accepted to be separated from their families after just having gone through the change as kids." Daisy spoke slowly about what she had seen.

"Knowing you couldn´t do anything to change what was happening." May spoke still in a soothing voice.

"Every inhuman there had one of those inhibitors that they could turn on and off when they wanted with the push of a button. We are nothing but animals for them." There was nothing but bitterness in her voice. "And the worst of it? One of them tried to help me and Jemma. He could read thoughts and helped us lie to Kasius. After Kasius found out that he had lied he killed him before my eyes because for him he wasn´t trustworthy anymore."

"He knew the risks."

"I know but he did what he did because I talked him into it."

"It was still his own decision. You can´t blame yourself for that."

"It was because of me."

"No, it wasn´t. You were in the same situation as him. You were treated and kept as a slave. Just like him. They had turned off your powers. Just like his. They forced you to fight for their amusement. Just like him. They kept you powerless against them. Just like him. The difference between you two is that you had someone you could work with to help you get out and he didn´t."

For a moment it was silent but then she noticed that Daisy´s breathing rhythm changed with little hiccups in between. She was crying.

A few seconds later Daisy was clinging to her like her life depended on it. May was slow to hug her but she did. She knew that her rookie needed this.
