Chapter Seven

"Tell me Agent Johnson, were you the one responsible for that explosion out in space?"Natasha asked as she leaned forward in her chair, her eyes never letting go of the girl in front of her, she could see that Sousa was getting anxious, wanting to know why they were there. How was it possible that a man from the fifties was here?, He didn't have the super serum, there was no trace of him being frozen the way Steve had.

Daisy pursed her lips, she of course wouldn't lie to Natasha Romanoff, the woman would probably be able to sense if she was lying no doubt about that, but how did she find out about her battle with Malik?. "I did what I had to do."Daisy said firmly. "If I hadn't, innocent lives would have been at risk by the hands of Nathaniel Malik."

"Nathaniel Malik?..Relation to Gideon Malik former Shield Agent?."Steve asked as he stood closer to Natasha. "Hydra."Sousa mumbled getting a look from Daisy along with Natasha and Steve, "I told you to stay quiet Daniel."Daisy hissed at her boyfriend?, partners?, she honestly wasn't sure what label to put them on right now.

"What?, Gideon Malik was Hydra, pretending to be a Shield Agent. That part is the truth."Sousa sighed, his eyes meeting Steve's. "I wouldn't lie about that."He said, the look Steve gave him he knew that Steve believed him.

"It still doesn't explain as to why or even how Daniel Sousa is in the year twenty twenty right now."Natasha said firmly. "Well..that's a long story as to which I'm sure we don't have time for.."Daisy said as she placed her hands on her lap.

"Did..Do you not know what happened to the rest of the world?..Thanos?"Daisy furrowed her eyebrows, they had been so sure that the world was fine, everything seemed okay when Coulson had dropped them off yesterday, had they missed something?.

"Thanos..he executed half of the world, even the galaxy, only half of us exists and we want to know how you managed to escape that?"Steve asked, Daisy could see heart break in the Captain's eyes, something tragic happened and she hadn't been here to help.

"I don't...I don't know how we managed to escape that..I am telling you the truth."She whispered. Daniel reached out to place his hand on top of hers. "Then explain to me how Daniel Sousa the man who is supposed to be dead, sitting here right now."

"Excuse me..but who is that?"Daniel Sousa asked as he pointed to the man that was waving in the security camera, Natasha sat up straighter in her chair, Steve was watching the feed with wide eyes, no it couldn't be..could it?, how is this possible?

"Scott..."He breathed out as he turned to face Natasha who had a look of hope for the first time in a long time. "We're not done here!" Natasha said as she rushed after Steve, the two of them leaving the room leaving Daisy and Daniel alone.

"Thanos? Who the hell is Thanos?"Daniel asked, he honestly didn't like the idea of this Thanos guy. What did they mean half of all life was gone?How was that possible with just one man? "Daisy, I don't understand..."Daniel said as he was practically pacing the floor, not caring how long they have been in here, he was sure that something was up with that Natasha woman, He didn't like the odds.

"I don't know..Coulson never said anything about Thanos, we were never informed of this thing happening..I mean we were kind of being on other planets at the time..but.."Daisy rambled as she tried to make sense of all of this. Everything was falling apart, just this morning things had been perfect.

"Daniel I'm so sorry I brought you into this mess..you..you could have had many chances of going back home but now.."Daniel shook his head, he was now standing in front of Daisy, his hands holding hers as if she was his life line.

"Daisy...I told you before, I'm where I need to be, and I meant it..I'm not going anywhere...We will figure this out together..in the mean time..we should try and get a hold of Coulson..figure out why he didn't tell you about this Thanos guy." Daniel said as he leaned in and kissed her forehead.

"Coulson?.."Daisy's eyes widened when she heard Steve's voice, "Phil Coulson?..that man is dead.."He walked closer into the room.

"We were told we couldn't tell anyone."Daisy said as she held her hands up defensively, Daniel was standing closer to her. "What do you know about Phil Coulson?"He asked firmly. "You two aren't leaving this room until you do.."

"Please..we don't want any trouble..we just want to go back home."Daisy said breathlessly as she didn't want to harm Steve Rogers, but if she had to she will, she wouldn't let him touch Daniel, not if she had a say in this.

"Guys! Now is not the time for this!" Natasha exclaimed, she placed her hand on Steve's shoulder trying to snap him out of whatever this was, "Scott said he has some information that I'm sure we should all be out there to hear it." Daisy stared at the two of them, still in defensive. She saw that Steve had calmed down under Natasha's touch.

They hesitated a moment, glancing at each other, Daniel reached out to hold Daisy's hand as the two of them followed Steve and Natasha out to the common area unsure of what was lying ahead of them.
