Daisy was uncomfortable with what was being asked of her. She had always been in the shadows her entire life whether it was hacking or working with SHIELD. Even if Quake was known she was still hidden in a shroud of mystery. This would put her on the front page of the newspapers. But it was her responsibility with everything going on. The Inhumans had come to her for help. They didn't feel safe and they looked to her to lead them and Coulson was the one that had put her in charge of interactions with powered people. She wanted the responsibility to help people and this was the first time that she really felt it was going outside of her comfort zone.

"Ms. Johnson." Some guy in a suit interrupted her train of thought.

"Yes?" She asked.

"They are about ready for you. They pushed back the King of Wakanda's speech." He pointed out before leaving.

Daisy took a deep breath. So many leaders around the world are here to put restrictions against those with powers and everyone else is too afraid to out themselves to speak against it. Word had it the Avengers were arguing about what it meant for them that they can't look past their selfish noses to think about how this affects everyone else.

She was waved over and walked into the room. Which had several people watching her. They all had been informed that she was here to speak against the Accords but no one knew who she was.

She walked up to the podium and took a deep breath and looked at the crowd looking at her expectantly. She let the breath out before she began.

"Hello. I am not really a public speaker so bear with me on this." She looked to the cameras that were broadcasting this out to the world.

"I know that the world is afraid. After what happened with Ultron, what happened in Lagos, you have every right to be afraid. People with powers can literally move mountains. I know this because I have moved a mountain myself." She revealed and suddenly everyone was a lot more focused on her and several were looking around worried. She could even see some guards ready to move expecting this to be an attack.

"But I am not really here to talk about myself. The Avengers and the people in the news are only a fraction of the people out there with powers. Most people want to just continue with their normal lives. I know a guy who works construction that has powers to heat of his hands. You know what he does with his powers?" She asks and pauses to see everyone looking at her questioningly. "He keeps his coffee warm. That's all. He doesn't commit crimes or kill people. He uses it to keep his coffee warm so he can go to work and take care of his family."

"I dated a man who had the ability to manipulate electricity. No where near what Thor can do, but you know what he did with his powers?" She pauses again. "He was a doctor and spent his time in third world countries treating people. He only used his powers in place of a defibrillator since he usually didn't have access to them." She looked out to all the leaders. Some of them she could tell were more into being power hungry then actually protecting their people.

"I understand for all those people out there are afraid where the next attack will be and you feel helpless and this is a way to control which feels helpless. But the fact is you are here condemning an entire population for the actions of a few. These accords allow government control over everyone that has some type of powers, but where does that line get drawn. Iron Man doesn't have powers but he is being included in this. So, does that mean every engineer or scientist capable of making weapons is subject to the government as well?"

"I am not here to tell you that people with powers should not be held accountable. We should. If someone with powers robs a bank they should be arrested as a bank robber. But if a person with powers wants to join the police force, they should be allowed to help. If a person with powers wants to work as a clerk at the store, they should be able to without judgement." She paused a little in her rant. She really had gotten up on the soap box there.

"I worked for SHIELD before Hydra revealed itself. I worked for the government to help capture bad guys. People with powers. They are no different than anyone else. There are some good and some bad, but most just want to be left alone. Most people with powers are no more dangerous than someone with a gun. Guns are used to shoot people and rob banks. Does this mean everyone with a hunting rifle should be treated as such?" She smiled and looked over everyone that was there listening to her.

"I advocate that you should come up with a bill for people with powers. But it should be more about what to do if someone with powers does something wrong. You could have a task force, similar to what SHIELD did, that specializes in dealing with powered people. It is smart to be ready, but discrimination against an entire population will only bring about a revolution." Daisy concluded to the silence of the room.

After an awkward amount of time Daisy had enough. "Thank you."

She made a step off the podium before she felt something off. She threw up her arms to the windows instinctively and absorbed the explosion from the bomb that just went of outside. It took a large amount of power to shield the entire area from the explosion that when it died down, she fell to her knees. There was a trickle of blood coming out of her nose.

The entire assembly was looking at her shocked. She turned her exhausted face to them and smiled.

"Are you going to arrest me for using powers without your permission now?" Then she passed out right there.

3 days later

The Avengers had some arguments among themselves about what was going on but were able to deal with the threat from the bomber which turned out to be a frame job. The government dignitaries were still working on rewriting the Accords and putting more thought into it for everyone rather than just the Avengers which is what had been on their mind.

Daisy was recovering in a hospital. The power use took a lot out of her.

The door to her room opened and in walked someone she had seen at the accords.

"Hello Ms. Johnson." He greeted her.

"Hello Prince T'Challa." She replied.

"I just wanted to thank you. If you didn't have the courage of standing up there in front of the Accords, then my father would likely be dead, with several others if it wasn't for your actions." He told her.

"It is no problem." She assured him.

"No. All of this wouldn't have happened if we weren't so blinded by our pain of what happened to our people. I spent more time looking into what happened in Lagos and more around the world and I agree with what you said. If the governments of the world worked more with people like the Avengers then maybe mistakes wouldn't be made when people feel like they have to act alone. Those people in Lagos were stealing a biological weapon that would have killed millions, the bomb going off in that market would have killed hundreds."

Daisy nodded along with the Prince agreeing with him. "And if Wanda had more time training, she may have more control with her powers. There is a lot of ifs you can add to what has happened but there are civilian casualties in military operations. It is a sad fact that I am sure you are aware of… as the Black Panther." She added with a smile.

His eyes narrowed. "Of course… Quake."

"If Wakanda ever needs any help just call. Or have your tech genius sister call. I don't mind calls from cute girls." Her smile growing.

He chuckled. "I think she would enjoy talking to you. Although if you are busy, we will just leave a message with Coulson."

He turned and walked out of the room laughing at his spunky new friend.


This one is a bit longer than normal as well as a lot more serious but I thought it would be interesting seeing her speaking against the Accords. Also I am pretty sure I messed up the timeline of when Civil War happened against Agents of SHIELD but I don't really care. Also in case you haven't noticed I am a fan of cocky, flirty Daisy so that side of her will probably show up a lot in these stories.

Thank You
