Daisy's POV
After my phone call to Nick confirming that we were going to do the mission, Lincoln and I talked and then proceeded to tell the girls all the necessary information. They understood what was going to happen and to be honest I think that they were more excited to be spending time with Nick and Maria than anything else.
After the girls went to bed, Lincoln helped me to pack my gear as well as trying out the new mask. Nick was right when it was turned off you barely even knew that it was there, I downloaded the software onto my phone and tried to find a face that would suit my build and body type, in the end I chose a face similar to my own but still different enough to not appear as myself.
When I woke up the next morning, sun blazing through the window, all I could feel was this overwhelmed sense of fear. In less than four hours I would be seeing the family that I left behind, I forgave my so called, parents, long ago I came to accept what happened and that I cannot change it, but that does not mean that they don't hate me, I just up and disappeared and they haven't found me. What happens if they find out who I am and about Lincoln and the girls, will they hate me and think that I've replaced them with my own family.
Lincoln and I got up and dressed, I wore my mission suit underneath casual civilian cloths. And Lincoln being Lincoln just wore his PJ's, we woke the girls so that could have a family breakfast before I left. As we sat and ate, I watched the girls almost trying to memorise every facial feature, how they laughed, how they sat which unfortunately for Lincoln was like me slightly hunch over.
I grabbed my gear, put it in the car and said goodbye to the girls,
"Alright, I want you to be good for daddy and then when daddy joins me, you need to be good for uncle Nick and auntie Maria, can you do that for me?"
"Yes mummy" they both said at the same time, sometimes I wonder if that's some weird twin thing.
"Good, I love you both so much, okay, never forget that" they both jump up at me with their arms around my neck, I can't tell if it's a very strong hug or their trying to strangle me and knowing my luck it's probably both.
"Okay girls, let go of mummy and go inside while I say goodbye" Lincoln interrupts the death hug and the girls run inside.
"So I guess I will see you in two days, don't forget your mask, gear, mission phone—"
"Yes, yes I won't forget anything, I never do, calm down, I know your nervous, but just remember I love you, the girls love you and in the event that they do find out and are angry or upset, they don't matter, you said that they were never going to tell you and now you are surrounded by people who would do anything for you, you're a great mum, an amazing wife and a badass spy."
"You know sometimes I for get just how lucky I am to have you and the girls, I don't know what I would do with out you, and your motivational speeches, okay, I love you and I will see you later." With that we kiss, I put all my feelings into it, trying to convey how much I love him.
"Bye, I will call you tonight and you can say goodnight to the girls as well. Bye"
As we say our final goodbye I turn and get into the car and drive away, it's about an hours drive to the airfield then a 3 hour flight to the base and I am terrified. Part of me doesn't care what they think but another part of me wants to show then that they were wrong, that I am the best there is and I can kick their arses if necessary.
An hour later I arrive at the airfield I see the Quinn jet assigned to me as well as the agent that is to fly me there. I park outside the jet and approach the agent.
"I believe your expecting me" said as a statement not a question.
"You're Quake?" He asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Yes I am, now, are we going to stand around here waiting or are we going to get this bird into the air, because I really hate being late"
"Of course ma'am, please follow me"
I follow him into the plane with my gear and take a seat while he disappears into the cockpit.
This is going to be a long flight.
Coulson POV
As I walk around my base I can't help but reminisce about how all this started and how everything has changed, Melinda and I are back together, FitzSimmons are engaged, wards in a cell downstairs because he's a hydra traitor that got found out after hydras pathetic attempt of a takeover. And Skye….well, no one has seen or heard from her in close, to seven years.
I called a meeting with all of the senior agents in, what I like to call, the war room. As I entered everyone else was already there.
"Alright welcome I have just received a notification from director Fury that he is sending us some extra help with our Index problem"
"No offence meant sir, but do we really need help I mean so far we've handled everything they have thrown at us" said Mack probably feeling a bit insulted.
"Normally I would agree, however our intel suggests that this is all being orchestrated by one man, a man by the name of Calvin Zabo. Now this man has already been investigated by shield on a number of occasions, but we could never get anything to stick, Fury is sending us the main team that he has had investigating him, they know more than we do and that is something we can take advantage of"
"And May I ask who it is exactly they are sending?" Asked May.
"Quake and Sparkplug"
"WHAT?!" Both Fitz and Simmons exclaim at the same time.
"Quake, as in the legendary consultant barely anybody has ever seen and nobody knows her name, that quake" say Bobbi.
"Yes, no I suggest that everybody go and prepare for their arriveal they will be hear in just under 3 hours. Dismissed" I say and just like that everybody files out of the room, except for Melinda.
"So that's one hell of a bomb for fury to drop are you sure this is a good idea, I mean nobody even knows this girl" she says.
"I know, but there's only one way to find out, anyway on to a none work related topic, have you heard anything from your contacts about Skye?" I ask.
"No and it's killing me, it's been seven years and nothing it's like she's a ghost, she left because of me, because I was to selfish and scared to tell her the truth and now for all we know she could be dead" at this point Melinda is crying.
"Shhhhhh, it's okay we will find her one way or the other, it's not your fault, come on let's go get ready of Quakes arrival."
And we walk towards our joint bunk while Melinda is trying her hardest to stop the tears.
