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, I was going to refer to her as Rider but it sounded awkward when I was planning out interactions so idk.
To answer your question KHARAKI TAKAN, While I did consider using Robbie in this story, I decided against it as I wanted the attention to be on QuakeRider. I do plan however to make alternate spin offs of this story line as there are so many possibilities and I really like writing my AU Daisy. Anyways hope you enjoy!
P.S I went back and changed the idk in the last chapter lol.
Previously...
May shrugged her shoulders walking towards the exit, "Regardless, you should fuel up and get back up in the air ASAP. Find her before the military does something bad. Or Daisy does something worse." All three leaving the room with Mack and Coulson headed towards Fitz and Simmons lab.
Agent Simmons and Fitz were talking in the lab regarding their new project the framework but their attention was pulled towards the door as they heard one of the scientist, "Hey, hey. Authorized personnel only, pal. No pass, no entry."
They could hear Mack scuff, "Who the hell are you?"
The scientist opened up his mouth to retort but Simmons called out, "Leave them be, Nathanson. They have more reason to be here than you do." causing the scientist to sigh in defeat stepping out of the way. Coulson and Mack slowly made their way towards Fitz and Simmons with Mack rolling his eyes, "Wow a lot of new faces."
Simmons smiled, "Good to see yours!" giving Mack a big hug with Coulson smirking at Fitz throwing his hand up, "Six weeks. That's a record." high fiving Coulson. Fitz raised an eyebrow as Coulson didn't look to good. "You doing alright?"
Coulson smiled asking, "Yeah why do you ask?"
Fitz shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, you look a little pale."
Coulson raised in his head in recognition, "Yea no, I am fine just got scared a little bit by a prank Mack decided to pull on me."
Mack looked at him with brief confusion before realizing what he was doing playing along, "Yeah, I didn't expect him to fall for it honestly."
Fitz and Simmons weren't entirely convinced so Coulson quickly diverted looking towards Simmons, "Heard you got a promotion."
That seemed to do the trick as Fitz looked towards Simmons slightly tapping her shoulder, "Oh, yeah, and a title."
"Yeah, Special Advisor to the Director in Science and Technology."
Fitz adding, "Or "SADIST."
Mack asked, "They keeping you busy?"
"With busy work mostly an-"
Fitz jumping in "And the random state-of-the-art lie-detector tests."
Coulson rolled his eyes, "So that's the cost of being in the Director's inner circle."
Simmons sighed, "Yeah, he's paranoid about what happened the last time S. H. I. E. L. D. was government-run. Calls it his Widespread Infiltration Monitoring Program."
Fitz looking down muttering, "Or WIMP" a few seconds later he raised his head pointing towards Coulson, "Hey, uh, you should join us 'cause we're gonna go to Radcliffe's and watch the Aberdeen-Inverness Caley Thistle League cup final."
Coulson squinted shaking his head in confusion, Fitz stuttered out, "They're -Those are football teams."
Mack shook his head, "I'm not sure they are, Turbo."
Coulson added, "Unfortunately, we have to be wheels-up in 10 minutes, so..."
Fitz slightly disappointed sighed, "Okay. All right. Well, strictly business, then." leading the two towards their desk, Mack grinning, "Aw yeah, new toys?"
Fitz nodding handing Mack a pen case, "The exploding pen that you asked for. I can't imagine a use for it." Mack smiled before seeing Coulson staring at him in disbelief asking, "What... You never wanted one?"
Coulson weakly chuckled as Fitz grabbed a brief case, opening it on the desk revealing a new hand muttering, "And for you, Direct-" pausing realizing what he was about to say making everyone stare at him awkwardly, "Uhh... for you, Agent Coulson." Coulson grabbing it out the case marveling it as Fitz's explaining, "All sorts of new bells and whistles. And the directions will be there when you boot it up." Coulson smiled hive fiving the hand putting it back in the briefcase locking it up.
Fitz asked, "Soo What's, uh What's the assignment?"
Coulson sighed, "Classified."
Fitz rolled his eyes, "Right. Everything is these days."
Coulson weakly smiling heading out with Mack following right behind. They just stood there in silence until Simmons stuttering, "Fitz, sadly, um-"
Fitz cut her off semi defeated, "Yeah, you can't make the match, either."
"I have to finish my reports."
Fitz shook his head, "Yeah, no, I get it. That's okay... Just a shame we hardly get to see each other." pausing gesturing towards the door where Mack and Coulson just were. adding, "Any of us..."
Simmons grabbed his hand sighing,"Yes, well At least it's better than the friends we'll never see again."
Fitz nodding knowing who she was referring too asking, "Do you believe what they said?"
Simmons tilted her head, "What do you mean?"
"Coulson, he didn't look right."
Simmons shrugged her shoulders, "Yea... No I don't believe him but hopefully he is not doing anything reckless..."
Meanwhile
Daisy had returned to her hotel room and managed to rest up a little but she couldn't sleep... how could she? She just saw a woman that looked almost identical to her brutally murder 4 people. She started researching the web for any reports of that... thing and found tons of police reports with victims of similar injuries or deaths but no witnesses all, the only concrete evidence is a Red 1962 Chevrolet Corvette pulls away shortly afterwards. To many people that would just be a random car but Daisy knew better... that is the exact make and model of Coulson's car Lola and as much as she hopes for this just to be a coincidence, she can't deny the fact of that woman looking exactly like her minus the hair. She started searching seeing if there is anyone in the area that owns that model of car and a few minutes later she found one but she almost fell out of her chair. It was registered to an Alisha Whitley but that is impossible, she died to the Kree punisher that Hive summoned... yet it shows she has been making purchases and is currently living in an apartment a few miles away from here. Daisy quickly writing down the directions, sending Elena a coded text to meetup as she needs more pain pills, changing into her casual outfit and putting the directions in her bag. Leaving a stack of 20's on the table for house keeping and quickly heading towards her rendezvous point.
A little while later...
Daisy arrived at her bus stop, quickly jumping in and taking her seat throwing her bag next to her. It was silent for a few seconds so Elena started talking, "They are in town. I supposed you guessed that, texting me."
"Does that mean you have it?"
Reaching into her jacket, "They watch my every move, but certain moves they can't see. You can't get these over the counter." handing a bottle of pills over the seat continuing, "S. H. I. E. L. D. issue for rapid bone healing, yes? I know you splintered your bones when you first powered up."
Daisy sighed putting the pills on top of her bag as Elena asked, "Are you pushing yourself too hard?"
She shook her head, "I am fine."
"You can't use your powers too much. - Your body will break down."
Rolling her eyes, "I'm fine."
Elena sighed in defeat looking out the window before asking, "I'm surprised you're still in town. You're usually moving and moving."
"I was trying to shut down a watchdog cell in the area" pausing as the memories quickly played over again before continuing, "and I may have stumbled across a serial killer."
Elena smirked "Ooh fun. He live around here?"
Daisy shook her head, "I think so as she mostly hits this area, but she's hard to track down, leaves no traces behind, operates alone."
Elena gasped before sarcastically replying, "She? huh that sounds very familiar... Where have I heard that before?"
Daisy rolled her eyes as Elena continued, "I thought maybe you were, uh," pausing to think, "growing roots, they say. - L. A. used to be where you hang out, no?"
Daisy bluntly replied, "No roots."
She shrugged before leaning forward closer to Daisy, "Everyone gets attached to something eventually."
Daisy shook her head in denial shoving the pills in her bag, "Don't forget to wait two stops after I get off."
"Yeah, yeah... Hey." grabbing Daisy's attention, "Send me a picture of her. Maybe I can cover some ground if I know what she looks like."
Daisy opened her mouth to reply but froze as the memory of what the woman said played back, "I know because I am you..."
The sound of the bus stopping pulled her out of those thoughts shacking her head, "Uhh no, I still haven't gotten a good look at her yet, so just take care of yourself, okay? Thank you for the pills."
"They won't give up on you, especially Coulson. All he wants is to find you."
Daisy sighed as the bus stopped, "Well, that's too bad, 'cause there's only one thing I want." standing up to leave as Elena asked, "Oh, yeah? What's that?"
Walking towards the exit replying, "Nothing to lose." stepping out the bus heading towards the apartment.
A few hours later
Daisy arrived to the apartment, telling herself this is an awful idea and the many different ways it can go wrong. She walked up slowly to the apartment number 160 raising her knuckle to knock but before she could the door swings opens revealing Daisy in casual clothes looking very pleased, "So nice of you to find me, please come in... We have a lot to talk about."
