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.

Briefly want to mention what you brought up KHARAKI-TAKAN, I hate that plot hole and for each one of my stories I have ignored that. Its super dumb especially since Quake in the comics is immune to her own powers... however since this is set in season 4 universe that branches out to AU I will be keeping it in as I really like how Daisy fell apart after Lincoln's death, falling into that spiral of drugs and drinking however I will be toning down how much she pain she gets from using her powers as I found it dumb that she would use her powers like once or twice then wince in pain.


Previously...

(Elena) "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."

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."


Daisy just stood there staring taking in the sight in front of her, it was like looking through a distorted mirror. They both had the same face and body build but instead of having short black hair, it was long and silky crimson hair that feel down her shoulders. She noticed it briefly at the warehouse but now couldn't help but stare at those glowing orange eyes and they weren't just glowing, it looked like a small flame was lit in her eyes constantly circling around.

Daisy continued to stare with the woman laughing, "Guess these are pretty distracting." closing her eyes for a few seconds and Daisy slightly stepped back in shock as they now were just orange but they were no longer glowing and that moving flame was no longer there.

She smirked, "Pretty neat huh? I will be more than glad to explain everything inside." gesturing for her to enter.

Daisy held her ground, "How can I trust you? You claim to be me yet you have given me nothing to go off of."

She smiled, "Well for one I didn't kill you at the warehouse but I guess that isn't enough..." quickly grabbing Daisy into a embrace who recoiled at the sudden action preparing to send the woman flying but froze as started to feel it... the sudden vibrations moving across her back where the woman hands were. She was stunned with her jaw hanging open, completely frozen in the other woman's embrace with a memory of one of Lincoln's saying popping in her head, "Powers aren't random, we were taught that each is given to fill an evolutionary need at the time."

Daisy smirked leaving the embrace but Daisy continued to just stand there clearly unable to process what had just happened, Daisy slightly chuckled, "I always love Lincoln's little sayings... Well, Now do you believe me? "

Daisy weakly nodded now having so many questions, cautiously walking into the apartment with Daisy closing the door behind her before leading the way slowly. Daisy walked close behind her around the mostly empty apartment, noticing all possible escape routes and trying to find any personal items that will help explain what is happening and who she really is but to no avail.

She gestured towards the couch before slowly walking towards the connecting kitchen. Daisy plopped down on the surprisingly comfortable couch, quickly recollecting herself as Daisy walked over holding two beers handing one to Daisy who was hesitate at first causing Daisy to chuckle, "Oh come on... You can trust me plus you might need this."

Daisy sighed in defeat grabbing the beer bottle quickly taking a quick sip before looking towards Daisy asking, "Who are you?"

Daisy smirked, "I am Daisy Johnson but I come from a different world... There is a wide multiverse out there, each one containing their own and unique Daisy Johnson, the differences between them sometimes minor while others are massively different."

Daisy stared completely stunned taking in that information, taking a bigger snip from the bottle before Daisy continued, "Even the smallest differences can cause completely different outcomes towards the person. When I arrived here, I did some research on what was different between my world and this one. One example is after the events of Afterlife, you decided to form the Secret Warriors but that wasn't the case for me." Taking a long sip of beer with Daisy raising an eyebrow looking towards her curiously asking, "So what did you do?"

She weakly smiled, "I wanted to create something like Afterlife, to do what Jiaying did but done right. The plan was to make it more accessible and tied into SHIELD making it easier for them to index plus giving them a home away from home."

Daisy weakly smiled, "Did you?"

Anger pulsed through her with Daisy noticing that lit flame now bouncing around her eyes, "I did but it was destroyed... taken away from me." pausing to look out the window muttering, "you know I am envious of you."

Daisy was slightly taken aback asking, "Why?"

"Because at least in this world, there are Inhumans..." taking a chug out of her beer before continuing, "I had just built the haven and I was told to go on a recon mission to a watchdog stronghold as Lash had been reported working with them. Well no activity had happened so I drove home excited to see everyone but instead I come back to the haven destroyed, blackened walls, fire and tons of bodies."

Daisy gasped, wanting to ask a few questions but decided to hold off on it, "Well I figured out shortly after that it was SHIELD, they..." chocking up as the memories flooded back to her, "Called all Inhumans for a sooner than normal check in, but instead of doing an normal checkup... they blew every last one of them up with Fitz's dwarfs. Except Lincoln..." squeezing the beer bottle almost shattering it, "He- He had been trying to contact me that entire time but I never received anything because they blocked communications. Well instead of blowing him up like all the others they let Lash tear him apart... which I learned later that they only did that so they could lure Lash out to kill him afterwards."

Daisy sat there in utter shock trying her best to process but this was a lot of information she wasn't expecting. Daisy quickly finished the last of her beer but she was livid, her hand finally shattered the glass of the bottle and Daisy threw her arms up to protect her from the flying glass but nothing happened. Lowering her arms and gasped as she watched the glass that was scattered quickly melt away leaving no trace behind.

Daisy weakly smiled getting up to grab another beer as Daisy muttered out, "What was that?" looking towards the woman next to her now sitting back on the couch.

"Coulson explained his story to me but after finding out what happened, I left running away with the name Quake hunting down watchdogs and to draw SHIELD out as I wanted answers... Well instead of giving me answers, they each gave me 5 bullets 1 to each elbow and knee with the final one being to my head."

Daisy took a sip of her beer and opened her mouth to ask something but Daisy cut her off knowing what it was, "Let me guess how are you still alive?" looking next to her as Daisy slowly nodded, "As I laid there in my blood, all I could see was darkness. A never ending abyss of black until a red burning wisp appeared and asked me if I would like a second chance... to get payback for those who have wronged me. I gladly said yes..."

Daisy nodded putting the pieces together, "And this wisp gave you these fire powers."

Daisy smirked, "Among other things." chugging the last of her beer.

Daisy titled her head in confusion, "Why did you come here then?"

Standing up throwing her bottle away bluntly replying, "Because while they made those actions, there were influenced by what is known as the Darkhold. Its a ancient and magical book that warps minds and holds tons of hidden knowledge. Before I could retrieve it in my world it teleported away which I tracked down to this world and I have been spending the last 3 months trying to track it."

Daisy sat back on the couch Daisy raised her head in recognition, "And you want help to track it down?"

"Yes." looking next to her seeing she was still unsure, "Look I get if that was a lot to take in and if you don't believe some of the things I said then fine but at least believe me when I say, I am trying to prevent that book destroying anymore lives."

Daisy sighed, "Ok... I will help you, but I do have a few other questions."

Daisy smiled, "Sure... ask away."


Meanwhile

Radcliffe was at his work station going over the report Simmons and Fitz gave him liking the results when Aida walks up asking, "What are you working on?"

He smiled, "Just going over the notes from Fitz and Simmons regarding the framework."

"And the results?"

He laughed, "We are one more step closer to finally showing everyone the power of the Darkhold!"


Uh oh... So what you guys think? Next chapter will wrap up the Daisy and Daisy catching up as well as some more plot development maybe even some SHIELD confrontation? I hope it wasn't confusing keeping up with them, let me know if you guys think of a better way/name for my AU Daisy.
