Got some reviews on FFN that convince to continue this so here is chapter 2. This should be the end this time unless my Muses decide otherwise once more, but I doubt it. As always comments/reviews welcome.

WarNinGs: Some graphic disturbing imagery described here, angst with a happy ending.

"Hey! In her heart there's a hole
There's a black mark on her soul
In her hands is my heart..."

Form 'Horns' by Bryce Fox, very catchy and I have a few short Daisy Mvs to it.

2IN HER HANDS IS MY HEART2

Daisy opened her eyes blinking a few times to fully wake up, she had woken up staring at a jet wall so many times it took her a moment to remember when she was. Glancing down she relaxed, Robbie was still and breathing softly so at least he was at peace this time, she knew she was tried of nightmares and he had too be by now as well. Sighing softly she froze when he jerked up, wide eyes focusing on her before he lowered his head with a sigh. "Hey, it's alright, I'm still real," placing a hand between his shoulders she felt he was tense and could not blame him. "Robbie...you need to talk about it?" Hand moved to the back of his neck feeling him tremble under her touch, had it really been that long since anyone had touched him? "It might make you feel better." When Robbie got to his feet she just blinked at him, he looked agitated once more and she was not sure why. They were safe so why did he look scared? "Robbie what's wrong?"

"Todo," Robbie murdered as he pulled off his gloves, letting them drop to the cold metal floor.

Daisy frowned, taking a guess at what he had said, "Why Robbie, why is everything wrong?"

Robbie frowned down at Daisy, closing his eyes when her skin started to char at the neck and spread upwards, "Su puede ojos enganar, no se puede confiar en ellos."

When Robbie answered she was less sure want he had said, it seemed more like he was talking to himself that time, was he? Reaching out she touched his bare hands biting her lip when he pulled his hand away as if shocked. "I'm not afraid of you remember?"

Robbie looked down at his hand, it looked like it always had but how long had he had this one, hours, days, the odd week? When Daisy spoke he frowned at her, she never learned, "Usted sera, usted sera."

Daisy shivered at the icy tone the repeated words like a promise, chanted at her like a cruse. Opening her mouth to ask what he was talking about she left it open when Robbie slammed his thumbs into his eyes, too studded to do anything more then gape. Chunks of ruined eye ball stuck in the flowing blood like rocks in a river and it made her sick to see it. She had seen him burn his eyes and face away but this was something far worse then that. This seemed to have no reason, no logic, pure madness right out of a horror movie. 'What if ICEing him only delayed it? What if that drug is driving him insane now? Damn it how do I help you?' Gouged eyes seemed to focus on her as the empty sockets of the Rider often did and she froze like a mouse trapped in a corner. Bare hands moved but not towards her, they moved towards Robbie's face. Fingers she longed to feel the touch of without a layer of leather in between them and her slipped into ruined eyes. Blood seeped past them as they worked under the skin above the beyond gouged eyes, tearing back with a savage jerk. Dark flesh tore away from muscle and bone like pages from an old book leaving gore and a strip of intact flesh behind. The flaps were dropped over the discarded gloves as if they too meant to so little to their owner. Blood coated fingers moved to below the eyes now and tore already gore adorned flesh down, leaving the two flaps to hang at the collar of what had once been a clean comfortable looking shirt.

Daisy stared in horrified shock at the exposed muscle and tendons like something right put of a Hellraiser movie, flaps shifting with a wet sound as Robbie tilted his head at her. Swallowing she wished she could unsee this, this mockery of life staring at her with ruined eyes. Fingertips twitched and she noticed they were torn open so bone could be seen, like claws blunted by use. Looking back up she saw the cracks she knew so well from in black over what was left of the soft tissue that normally covered them, she was unsure if he always had them now. Blackness seemed to spread like cancer over red and the discolored white like an aged whine stain on a table cloth. Shiny black charred ash encased the skull and hands like a sick version of the cocoon she had emerged from once, twice if you counted the Framework. It stood so still Daisy started to wonder if the effects had worn off and the Rider had burnt the madness out of Robbie. When flames erupted from the crack the shell flaked away and the Rider stood there looking the same as always minus the gloves. It tilted It's borrowed skull at her and Daisy frowned, still so very unnerved by what she had just seen. "Robbie you are alright now...right?" The skull nodded and Daisy let herself relax a little, Robbie did not lie to her, not like that. "You know I'm real, that I won't hurt you?" A bony hand rose and tucked a lock of hair back behind her ear, the smooth bone warm but not as hot or cold as she was expecting. Shivering slightly she watched that hand start to pull back before she took it, holding it in both of her own. It was solid, felt alive warm as strange as that seemed, but not unpleasant. It might be because it was Robbie's hand that it felt even remotely comforting to hold, simply bone meant long dead to most.

"I could get used to this too, feels warmer then dead bone, I guess because it's not entirely dead huh?" Looking up from bone held tenderly between her hands she wondered if He could feel her touch. Pain did not register but the warmth of her touch was more then just physical. She wanted him to feel her, her support, her lack of fear. Pale fingers closed over her now darker ones as the skull tilted at her, she smiled since He seemed to get the point just fine. When He raised his other hand to fix her slightly messy hair she grinned at the absurdity of a skeletal demon worrying about her hair or all things, it could not be that messy just then. Feeling a bit better about the insanity that had happened she allowed herself to relax, freezing when she felt dull claw like bone move over the back of her neck. The feel of bone reminded her Robbie had not changed back yet. Confused Daisy tilted her head up at the still flaming skull, they were safe, she was safe, so why? When flames went out she closed her eyes sighing in relief, "robbie." Hard smooth bone closed around the back of her neck, smooth curves of teeth denting her lips. Confused by the sudden assault of bone on flesh held her immobile for a heartbeat, she had not seen this coming. Releasing bone she slipped her arms around Robbie's neck, right hand sliding over the twin cracks like flaring wings on the back of his head. The cracks that may have been his death hidden among flames that had brought him back to this so often cruel world. Pressing her lips to bare teeth she kept her eyes closed, no longer afraid of death in this form.

2IN HER HANDS IS MY HEART2

Daisy opened her eyes with a start, a weight on her left shoulder confusing but not painful. Looking down she blinked at the top of Robbie's head, memory catching up with her. Smiling she remembered the only reason they were not together was sheer exhaustion. It was not as if they were rushing anything the Universe itself seemed to keep throwing them together, and if it had answered Robbie's prayers then why not her own? She would save this man, if no one else this one human being she would not let fall to the wayside and be forgotten and alone. Robbie made a soft sound and Daisy froze worried she had disturbed him, but he was quite again after a moment. Allowing herself to breath she closed her eyes, Robbie was not in pain, was not going insane, was nothing but peaceful. Lifting her hand from his arm she allowed her fingers to ghost over the warm skin covering the back of his neck, ignoring the slight stiffness from his crushing grip earlier. Robbie shifted with a soft sigh at her touch, soft skin rubbing against her own leather jacket. Resting her cheek on short hair she closed her eyes, fingers stroking Robbie like an overgrown cat.

"He okay?"

Daisy looked up at Mack, giving him a little smile so her tall friend knew he was not intruding. "He is yeah, at least right now, me...I'm less sure about."

"Wanna talk about it?" Mack offered keeping half and eye on Robbie to see if his rest was being disturbed. The guy could use a good night's rest once in a while, more so then a few of them did.

Daisy chewed her lower lip for a second before giving a slight nod, Mack would not judge her, not for this. "I woke up and he was still sleeping like he is now, all peaceful and quite." Mack nodded not saying a thing, he was there to listen not talk yet. "He woke up with a jerk, not surprising given today a lone. One look at me and he sighs, face in his hands, so I place my hand on his back to try and make him feel better. That worked for like five seconds, he said something that was gibberish since I can't speak Spanish to save my life then..," Daisy trailed off closing her eyes, petting darker skin to remind her Robbie was in one piece, flesh all where it was intended to be. "He just slams his thumbs into his eyes, like some crazy possessed person from a horror movie. I mean I know he is but he isn't rotting, or speaking in tongues, or any of that so it is so easy to forget. He was standing there so calmly, blood dripping from his chin as if nothing was wrong. As if that was bad enough then he raises his hands and slips his fingers under his skin and tears the top of his face into flaps. Right off, like it feels nothing before dropping them. Next comes the lower half, only those he just leaves attached at the collar of his shirt. Like something out of fucking Hellraiser just staring at me, and I know that is what He, It, whatever is doing. Those cracks burn through whatever gore is left until there is only ash for a moment then flames and the Rider is standing there. He is fine, unfazed by what had just happened. Even fixes my hair, bone touched my skin and I shiver so He pulls away and I take His hand. Just holding bone between my hand and it felt warm, like a living hand warm. I giggled when He reached out with his left hand to smooth out my hair. I mean a demon worrying about how my hair looks of all things right. Next thing I know He is kissing me, well as well as a skull can since no lips. It was so strange I didn't feel the fear I should, I mean He is a soul collecting demon even if Robbie is harmless really. I woke up soon after that and I know I'm a wake because my hand hurts."

"Looks fine so at least you won't have to explain that to him," Mack could not blame Robbie for hurting Daisy in his sleep, not after hear those screams. He was still surprised her hand had not been broken, maybe some part of Robbie knew what was going on and held his strength in check. Whatever the reason Daisy had not been seriously injured and Robbie had recovered, even if he was more worn out then Mack had been expecting.

Daisy nodded absently, fingers still moving in slow patterns, "You won't give him a hard time will you?"

"The whole hurt her and I'll hurt you back thing really doesn't work here, beyond May that is. Look I am still working on the whole demon possession thing but I know Robbie is not Ward. If he was That Thing would have roasted him alive rather then giving him power. Had It my head so I am sure, so as long as he is good to you I won't ride him for dating you." Mack knew what that voice sounded like and how hard it was to fight, the fact Robbie did was telling.

"Good," Daisy frowned when she heard them land, she did not want to disturb Robbie yet, "You think we should try waking him?"

"I think I should drop him off at the Lab while you go give your report so you can get back to his side," Mack answered as he leaned forward and took Robbie in his arms again.

Daisy held still as Mack took Robbie from her, missing his warmth along her side and under her fingers as soon as they were gone. Getting to her feet she sighed softly, Mack was right as he often was, "Will you stay with him till I get back?"

"Sure Tremors," Mack assured Daisy as he walked down the ramp, "Matchstick is in good hands, even if he would prefer yours."

Smirking at his wink Daisy stroked Robbie's cheek before heading off for Coulson's office knowing Robbie would be alright. Mack was his friend, would do what he could to help if Robbie woke up in fear again. Bowing her head she prated he would be alright, even if for just one damn day.

2IN HER HANDS IS MY HEART2

Coulson frowned as he listened to the mission going south quickly. Robbie had protected Daisy as he knew the other would, they were protective of each other before Robbie left after all. The drug had taken time to effect him, like normal humans and Inhumans, which was good to know. Hearing the effects were more worrying, even if it was good to know ICER rounds had some effect on Robbie in his human form. Glancing at May he closed his eyes, "I am relieved to hear he is alright, at least physically. As long as nothing pressing comes up consider the both of you on inactive duty. Now why don't you go make sure he knows what that means before asking Simmons to come by?" Daisy nodded, looking grateful as she got up and walked out.

"I guess being trapped in whatever place Aida's ring sent him while we were all killed by the Kree would be up there on my worst fears if I was Robbie." May commented evenly, she was still warming to Coulson's newest 'son'.

Coulson nodded, reaching out he patted May's folded hands, "They all came back alright, she got through to Robbie enough to stop the change."

May sighed softly, "I am not sure how I feel about that. Ward played us both and losing Lincoln devastated her. Robbie may not be able to die but he can just be gone, not sure that is any better."

"She did take it better this time, and I don't think it was simply because he was still only a friend." Coulson wanted Daisy to be happy, she deserved it after so much happening to her.

May nodded, Coulson had faith in people she no longer did, and Robbie had only calmed down since they had apprehended him. "I'll be nice, unless he hurts her."

"All I ask," Coulson assured his right hand as he lifted his hand, Simmons smiling slightly in greeting before sitting down. "Whenever you're ready Jemma."

2IN HER HANDS IS MY HEART2

Fitz frowned at the sleeping enhanced human relieved the Rider had not hurt anyone, "That sounds simply horrible."

"He had the worst of it," Mack reminded his shorter friend glancing at Robbie, the guy had been out for a while and as long as he was quite Mack was fine with it.

"We were all killed by the Kree...how much does he know about them?" Fitz was sure Robbie had heard about the Kree from Daisy, as he had most things not shown on the news. If the Rider knew more about the Kree it was worth knowing.

Mack shrugged, "No clue, he mentioned a bigger war being waged out there and that doesn't exactly bod well."

"Even less so with the Avengers split up and us at less then our best," Fitz joked lightly trying to lighten the mood. A soft groan drew his attention and he held very still when dark eyes half opened, swallowing when they focused on him. "Robbie?"

Robbie closed his eyes with a sigh, "Did Simmons get her samples?"

Fitz relaxed with a smile, "Yes, she went to meet with Coulson, Daisy should be here momentarily."

Robbie turned his head holding out his hand, "I'm alright Chica."

Daisy took Robbie's offered hand the moment he spoke, his voice thick from sleep but calm, Robbie. "You scared me you hot head."

Robbie turned his head opening his eyes with a smile, "Forgive me?"

"This time, but don't go making a habit of it or so help me Reyes I will figure out someway to put a leash on you." Daisy was grateful he was smiling at her, tried but warm and just for her.

Fitz cleared his throat, "We'll just be going now. Glad you are recovering nicely Robbie."

"Thanks Fitz," Robbie called at man he still did not know well, Mack winking at him earning a half smirk back. Sighing softly he pulled gently on his head hand, "Sit."

Chuckling softly Daisy came to stand beside the bed before sitting down, Robbie grinning up at her looking a little strange without his jacket. Reaching out she stroked his cheek and he lean into her touch with a soft content sigh, dark eyes closing. Feeling his slow even breathes on her injured hand she closed her own eyes, moments like this made all the pain worth it in the end. "We are on inactive duty so no just driving home as soon as she can."

Robbie opened his eyes, tilting his head at her, "I would say goodbye first."

"I know silly, unless it was an emergency and hey he's your little brother." Daisy would never take it personally when Robbie choose Gabe over anyone else, who else did Gabe even have really? She had the Team to fall back on, she had to remember that.

Robbie smiled, "yeah...so everything is alright with the suit?"

"Ha ha you adore Coulson and we all know it, can't fool me Reyes." Grinning she just watched him smile for a moment before answering, "He is fine with you and me, now May on the other hand..."

"I am not the most trusting either so I don't blame her." Robbie took Daisy's hand frowning when she winced slightly. Frowning he looked down and noticed the faint bruising forming, "Daisy I..."

"shh..," Daisy soothed cutting Robbie off when he looked up at her eyes so apologetic, "You were dreaming, this was not your fault."

Robbie nodded looking back down at the discolored patches, they would hurt but little more. Turning her hand he pressed a gentle kiss to her palm, "I am still sorry I hurt you again."

Daisy knew Robbie still blamed himself when he went back to examining her hand, it was nothing really but it was still pain he had inflicted on her. When he turned her hand so he could see her palm she did not think much of it. She knew you really had to whack your palm to bruise it, but if checking would ease his mind even a little he was welcome to. Soft lips pressing against her sensitive skin drew a soft gasp, she was not expecting that. Knuckles, the back of her hand, playfully nibbling or sucking her fingertips sure but that was new. When he glanced up at her she understood what that gesture meant, each kiss meant something different. He was willing to trust her with the only part of him that could still be killed, his heart. Touched she felt herself tear up, sniffing when Robbie moved to dry her eyes, freezing when she realized Jemma had removed his gloves as well as his jacket. His fingers were lightly calloused from his day job, reminding her absently of a kitten's tongue. "Do we need to talk?"

Robbie frowned when Daisy froze unsure what she was reacting to before he realized it was the fact his bands were bare. She had never been touched by his bare hands since he had knocked her out, which he doubted she had really felt at the time. When she brought up his promise he leaned close, "Do you want to?"

Daisy drew in a breath, his gentle touch moving to take his chin gently since her teary eyes where dry now. Did she want to talk? She would be happy to hear his voice for hours, but that was hardly the point, "Depends."

"On?" Robbie prompted use to this kind of playful banter from her, more playful now then it had started.

"You being alright with me meaning te amo or not," Daisy wanted to hear a yes, to Hell with what language he said it in. She knew and accepted how she felt, trusted him to not betray or die, even if he might have to go away again.

"You do realize I might be riding with this longer then you'll be alive right?" Robbie had made his second deal and even if he committed himself 24/7 to fulling it there was no doubt it would take years. The Rider seemed content to allow him to still have some life outside of Its burning crusade, which was fine with him.

Daisy wet her lips, "I am not happy thinking about it, but I get that you might as well be immortal right now. All that maters is there is something after this and you will find me there I am sure of it." You could not sell your soul if humans had no soul that continued on.

"Always," Robbie promised as he tipped Daisy's face up so he could kiss her.

Daisy smiled pleased with that answer, smile shifting as she kissed Robbie back, hand slipping to the back of his head. No cracks to be felt but his short hair felt good between her fingers, and she was no in the mood to let him pull away from her just yet.

No plans to write more to this, of course I had no plans to write more the first time until a few reviews on FFN changed my mind. If you want more asking may spark something but no promises. Had fun playing with the darker places of my mind few AoS fans have seen yet.

Used for my translation so if you know a better site feel free to shout it out.

Todo = Everything

Su puede ojos enganar, no se puede confiar en ellos = Your eyes can deceive you, you cannot trust them.

Usted sera, usted sera = You will be, you will be.
