Rated T? Dark Themes and Violence might change at a later date.

If you guys have any tips or suggestions feel free to suggest. I am still new to writing stories so I will gladly accept anything :3

To avoid confusion when I refer to my AU version of Daisy, it will be in italics. Let me know if there is a better way to do this.

SHIELD HQ

Coulson stood in place as May glared at a man almost twice her size, commanding him to move but nothing. It took a minute until Coulson leaned towards May whispering, "He doesn't appear to be moving..."

May continued to glare with tension brewing in the air but before anything could start the man turns his head towards the office, "Director, they're here."

A voice called out from the room "Send them in." and the man quickly responded, "Yes sir." backing away from the door. May glared at the man for a few more seconds before she shrugged heading into the room with Coulson right behind her. The room was filled with tons of different workers, mostly PR managers, and clerks. Coulson and May glossed around the room while they waited, Mace finished signing a few things before walking towards the 2 senior agents taking a quick sigh, "Good to see two, and thanks for waiting, seems this job requires you to be an hour behind like all the time."

May muttered under her breath, "or two..."

Mace nods, "But you already know that, right Phil? Glad you're here, lets get down to business." Coulson smirked as Mace turned towards the room announcing, "Guys, can we have the room for a minute, please?"

Everyone acknowledged leaving out the door but Maces calls to the guard in front, "Cecilio, get yourself a coffee." He smirks, "Yes sir." and followed the line of workers to the break room now leaving the three alone in the director's room.

SHIELD HQ LABS

Mack sat in the labs skimming over the medical reports on the SHIELD team, no fatalities but several broken bones that will take weeks if not months to recover from. Despite that the only thing repeating over and over in Mack's head... who was that woman? Mack refuses to accept that is the real Daisy because, despite the glaring similarities, they have many more differences. The image at the apartment is still stuck on his mind, Daisy and that woman who was very similar minus the red hair and glowing orange eyes. Those eyes will forever haunt him as they were filled with nothing but rage and anger, feelings very similar being possessed at the obelisk and that was a path he wasn't ready to go down again.

Thankfully Jemma lightly tap his shoulder, enough to jolt him out of that state, and asked, "You doing alright Mack?"

Mack took a few seconds to recompose himself before answering, "Yeah... just thinking about Daisy."

Jemma nodded, "It's hard because you don't believe this can be real but you can't deny it exists."

Mack smirked but before that goes any further, Fitz slides his chair across the lab, "You guys might want to look at this, I managed to access the security tape at that warehouse and Daisy."

Jemma took a few seconds to get her bearings before asking, "Yeah... can we see the tape?" pointing towards the monitor with Fitz nodding his head and quickly began loading it up.

Mack was honestly surprised at this news usually Daisy does a good job covering her tracks, deleting any trail leading to her but leaving the tape for others to see is new. Fitz skipped to the correct timestamp and the camera feed panned from up top revealing a total of 8 watchdogs patrolling around but it only took a few seconds for all hell to break loose. A shadowy figure drops down behind and quickly puts her hand over the guys face, he briefly struggles before melting away leaving a pile of ashes and his gun. The figure jumped up to a higher level and briefly pauses before a fireball is charged up in her hand and tosses it towards a group of 3 killing them instantly and sending everything around them flying into different corners. The remaining 4 watchdogs are trembling trying to find where the intruder is but don't get to look long as all 4 of them scream in pain as their guns melted into a pile of molten metal. Desperate they ran towards the other side but didn't get very far, a woman in crimson hair block their path with a pile of molten metal behind her.

Before it went further, Fitz paused the video and zoomed in on the woman's face leaving Jemma and Fitz shocked. Mack gave them a little bit before stating, "We don't know who she is but claims to be Daisy."

Jemma confused, "I mean despite the hair and eye color, that face is identical to Daisy's... Could it be a nanomask?"

Mack shrugs, "Could be but wouldn't explain her powers and why she knows things Daisy knows."

Fitz perplexed asks, "Do we know what her powers exactly?"

Mack shakes his head, "No idea, was hoping this tape could reveal something."

Fitz nods and resumes the video, where Daisy stood in front of 4 shivering and terrified watchdogs who slowly backed away before she laughs, "I will never get tired of seeing you dogs squirm." raising her arm towards the group causing them all to rapidly shake in place practically frozen and Daisy has an eerie smile on her face. She slowly walks the 4 with that same smile before stating, "Now as much as I want to keep this going forever, I have things to do and places to be..." fixated on the one with a black wolf mask, "But I need to know what your boss's name is. Calls himself the Superior and I believe you know the answer I need officer."

The watchdog huffed trying to make himself sound stronger, "Watchdogs don't give info to inhuman scum..."

Daisy chuckled, "I had a feeling you were going to say that but don't you value your life... All I have to do-" cutting herself off as 2 of the other watchdogs quickly melted away before continuing, "Oops guess I got a little too trigger happy... do you want to end up like the others? Nothing more than a pile of ashes?"

He thought it over before stuttering out, "I don't know his name... honest everyone calls him the superior for a reason..."

Daisy smiled, "Nice try but I know your lying so..." slightly raising her hand towards the other watchdog causing him to melt away. The last watchdog was terrified his eyes bouncing all over the room trying to find an exit but there was none. Daisy stopped the vibrations around him causing him to drop to the floor on his hands and knees, he was trying to regain his footing but Daisy just kicked him in the gut causing him to roll over in pain.

Stomping her foot against his chest as he growls in pain she asks, "So let's try that again... what is the superior's name?"

He tried for a few seconds to get her off him but to avail, huffing in defeat he says, "Go to hell."

She chuckles, "Already been... Its where all your other dogs end up. Make sure you tell them the rider says Hi." Fitz had to pause it, as the overload of imagery and information for the three making it hard to fully process all of it.

Jemma states after a bit of silence, "Well she may look and sound like Daisy but they act so differently from each other. Do we have anything on who she was trying to find?"

Mack took a second before responding, "The superior is the leader of the watchdogs, Daisy started looking for him when the watchdogs first showed up but didn't really get anywhere on it. Whoever has also attracted this Daisy or the Rider as she called it because despite the resemblance she is cold, ruthless, and filled with an overwhelming amount of rage... However, we now know from this tape she has some modified strain or variant of Daisy's abilities meaning there is some connection here."

Jemma agreed but it seems like for every new answer, a whole bunch of new questions emerges.

Unknown Safe House

The images of the destroyed inhuman sanctuary, all the inhuman bodies the smoke filling the air... Lincoln's body half-destroyed playback through Daisy's mind quickly jolting her awake and off the couch.

She continued to lie there until a familiar voice asked, "Couldn't sleep?"

Daisy sighed slowly getting up with Daisy across the room watching closely, Daisy shook her head stating, "I don't know why I bother, with those haunting images constantly stuck in my head."

Daisy smirked, "Oh I thought it had something to do with your late-night trip slaughtering 8 watchdogs to nothing and attacking May's team."

Daisy knew this was coming but hoped it would happen sooner or later, "Alright, how much did you see?"

Daisy bluntly states, "I saw the whole tape, I cut the last part out of the tape where you had that lovely conversation with Mack and Coulson before going all berserk when May showed up. What is your deal with May?"

Daisy began to feel her anger boiling inside her veins but took a few minutes before she answered, "May was the one that proposed the idea of bringing Lash to the base to slaughter any of the Inhumans who would fight back. When I found Lincoln's body, he was missing an arm with a giant hole in his chest and was covered in rubble, smoke, and ash.

The reason I hold so much anger towards that is because..." pauses and reaches for her a tiny box hidden in her jacket which contains a pair of wedding rings before continuing, "I was going to propose when I got back but I never got the chance... It was robbed from me by the woman that became my mentor, a woman I looked up to and what do I get in return? The love of my life murdered by her lover, so yeah I hold a lot of rage for that and I realize she is the not the May from my world but seeing her face brought back a lot of furious rage and I lost control..." putting the box back in its pocket while Daisy had to take a few minutes to process that information before muttering out, "How awful..."

Daisy smirks, "Yeah... any other questions?"

Daisy thought of a couple but considering the reaction from one question, it's going have to be one at a time to prevent setting a room on fire. Shaking her head no she says, "At least for right now... While you were away burning that watchdog stronghold down, I managed to tap into their comms but besides the chatter regarding that stronghold. They have been relatively quiet and I am worried they are planning something bi-" interrupted by the power flipping off, leaving the two in the dark until Daisy lights a flame in her palm and they make their way outside quickly realizing it was a massive blackout as all the buildings were dark.

Daisy grabs her phone to find out 4 other locations have been blacked out with... Inhumans taking credit for them and are threatening to shut off more if their demands aren't meet.

Daisy unsure of what she is reading asks, "So I am guessing by the look on your face, it wasn't because a rat thought a yellow wire was cheese."

Daisy glares at the comment, "No, Inhumans are claiming to be responsible for these blackouts and declaring more will happen if their demands aren't meant."

Daisy smirks, "I like their style but something tells me this isn't Inhuman's doing. Oh, I have an idea, there is a small watchdog's camp only a couple of miles away. They will probably take advantage of this blackout if they didn't do this themselves or they could be behind this and we find out their plan."

Daisy thinks it over but realizes it is a solid plan not like they have anything else to do except for, "We gonna walk to it cause most cars would be out of commission."

Daisy chuckles, "Most cars can't do this." stopping to whistle a few times before Lola quickly pulls up to the curve leaving a flaming trail behind it. Gestures for Daisy to follow, "Alright let's get going!"

Back at Shield HQ

Mack, Fitz, Mac, and two of his PR workers left the main office after hearing the inhuman threat, Mace asks, "Is this some lone nut job, or are the Inhumans really organizing?"

Fitz shook his head, "We have no real information, sir. The broadcast was untraceable. It's quite sophisticated, really, which rules out both lone and nutjob."

Mace then asks, "And the blackout was it caused by Inhuman power or sabotage?"

Mack answers, "There's only one Inhuman capable of short-circuiting an entire city-"

Fitz states, "Lincoln Campbell. He was one of the good guys."

Mace nods, "I know, and we owe him a great debt. There is no one else with his powers?"

Mack thinks it over, "Could be one we haven't found."

Fitz agrees, "Yeah but it's most likely an EMP device, the area affected looks more controlled then if Lincoln shocked a power grid."

Stopping at the end of the hall Mace asks, "So the threat was credible, they could black out more cities?"

Fitz nods, "Yeah if there's more than one EMP device, it's more than credible."

Mack adds, "We have an Inhuman asset in Miami... Elena Rodriguez. I lost contact with her an hour ago. Now if this thing escalates-"

Mace interrupted knowing where it was going, "Then we have to de-escalate it, pronto. Get Coulson and May, I want you four on the way to Miami within the hour."

They nodded before heading down the hall to inform May and Coulson.
