Michael POV:
"Damn it!" I exclaim, after we fail again. "Birkhoff is a pro. If he doesn't want to be found it will be difficult to find him"
"So it's another dead end," Daisy says.
"We can still find him, let's not give up hope," Coulson replies.
"Do you know anyone that will be able to help find him?" Daisy asks.
"The only person I can think of is Alexandra Udinov," I reply.
"The russian heiress?" Coulson questions. I nod.
"She will be much easier to track….." Daisy mumbles as she types furiously on the keyboard.
"I need to check on May," Coulson says and leaves.
"Got her!" Daisy exclaims!
"That fast?" I ask, surprised. Daisy nods and smiles.
Coulson POV:
"She's not doing any better, her lung is still damaged, and it's healing at a very slow rate. If she doesn't heal soon, she might di-" Jemma starts, but I interrupt her.
"Don't say it" I tell her. "May's strong. She'll be fine"
"I just have to tell you the worst case scenario,"Jemma replies. She gives me a reassuring hug and then turns and leaves. I stare at May's incapitated body. She looks peaceful as she lays there, almost like she's sleeping. I sit down by May, and lace my hand in hers.
"I'm sorry. I should've been there. I should've noticed the LMD. I should've saved you. You have to pull through this, because… I don't know what I will do without you," I pause for a moment, a tear slipping down my cheek.
"Coulson!" Daisy runs in. I quickly wipe the tear away and turn around. "We gave a lead. We- are you okay?" she asks.
"I'm fine," I reply quickly.
"It's okay to worry about her," she replies quietly. "I can't imagine what you are going through. The woman that you love was kidnapped by a psycho robot and now is in a coma"
"I- wait what?" I look at her astonished.
"It's obvious how you feel about each other, at least to everyone but the two of you" she explains, a small grin appearing on her face.
"Daisy, lets go!" Michael peeks in.
"Where are you going?" I ask, desperate to change the subject.
"We have a way to track Birkhoff," Daisy replies and runs off. I take one last look at May, and follow them outside.
Alex POV:
"Of course. We can meet tomorrow to discuss," I reply.
"Thank you, I look forward to our meeting," the senator says and then hangs up.
"You may have to cancel those plans," a voice behind me says. I gasp in surprise, as it startles me. I turn around to see Michael as well, another woman. She is asian with brown hair that reaches her shoulders. She looks oddly familiar.
"Michael?" I ask. It's been awhile since I heard from him. In fact, I haven't heard from him since Michael and Nikita eloped.
"Hey Alex," he says and he comes over and hugs me. I hug back.
"Don't get me wrong, it's good to see you, but what are you doing here and who is she?" I respond, glancing at the other woman.
"I'm Daisy Johnson. You might know me as Quake," she replies.
"You're with SHIELD right? The woman on TV?" I ask, astonished. She nods.
"I wish we were here to chat, but we need your help. It's about Nikita," Michael says.
"Is she okay?" I ask, worried.
"She's...alive," Michael tells me.
"You didn't answer my question," I exclaim, Michael's nonresponse scaring me.
"Long story short, there's a crazy robot bitch who has Nikita locked in a...sort of virtual reality. We can't pull her out without creating a back door, but the system is almost impenetrable. That's why we need your help. We need to track down Birkhoff," Michael explains.
"Wow that's a lot to take in," I try to process the information.
"So are you in?" Daisy questions.
"Of course. If Nikita is in danger then I owe it to her to help her out. More than that, she's my friend," I confirm.
"Finding Birkhoff is our number one priority right now. He might be the only chance Nikita has," Daisy adds.
"Well then it's a good thing you have me," I say smiling.
"Let's go," Michael tells us, and I follow him out.
