This week has been a very long week. I am not in the best mental health since I have been so overly stressed out this semester. I think everything is finally catching up to me and I have started to feel depressed recently. I have always had some sort of anxiety. It just was never this bad.
My stories might not be updated as much. I have a lot to do and I am easily distracted. My stories are an escape from my stresses so I might write more but getting them up takes a bit of time. I am going to be maybe updating either of my stories once a week. I just don't have as much time as I would like.
Wow this story has hit a milestone. 100 Review! Thanks to everyone who has reviewed. I am very grateful for the support. When I get the emails about the review I feel a little lighter. I love knowing that you guys are enjoying this story.

Daisy woke up and looked around disoriented. She was on a gurney on the avenger jet. She began to sit up to see only have Thor say "Take it easy you are wounded badly."
"Thanks for the sentiment but I have had much worse," Daisy says before she heard Maria Hills voice.
Daisy slowly made her way over and saw Maria look at her over Tony's shoulder. Once Maria gave her information to Tony she asked, "Can I talk to Daisy privately?"
"Yeah sure," Tony said while giving her a headset. Daisy quickly put it on and say quietly "hi."
"You ok Daisy? I have the director constantly asking about your condition since your team has seen news footage of you taking on the Hulk." Maria informed her.
Daisy shrugged knowing that nodding or shaking her head would make her headache worse. "I have been better but I also have been a lot worse. Better than the time at the Italian villa for sure. I will be fine once I get some food and sleep." Daisy said honestly.
Maria looked at the young agent. Daisy had to be hurting to bring up the time she had almost died. It made her even more worried. After a few seconds, Maria says "Be careful. Shield cannot afford to lose you."
Daisy leaned back in the chair tiredly. "Can you ask the directory to compare my DNA to Cal and Jia Ying's? I have a hunch that something is not right." Daisy said quietly as possible hoping that the others did not hear.
"I will pass the request along. Stay safe Quake. The world still needs you. You probably save hundreds of lives by taking down the Hulk." Maria said gently.
Daisy looked at Maria and says quietly "I did what needed to be done."
"Take care of yourself, Daisy," Maria said seriously.
"You too Commander," Daisy said before ending the call and taking off the headset.
Daisy got up slowly and made her way over to Clint. She just leaned against the wall as she sat near him. "You look like your deep in thought," Daisy said quietly. Out of everyone on the jet Daisy was the most injured physically while everyone else was hurt mentally.
"I am just not sure if I am doing the right thing. I am taking us to a personal safe house." Clint said honestly.
"Wow, a straight answer. That is a first." Daisy said smirking slightly as she closed her eyes.
"You ok?" Clint asked worriedly.
"Why does everyone are that question? I will be fine once I eat a ton of food and sleep for a while. I heal quickly but have to eat more when I need to heal." Daisy informed him.
He nods and says "Get some sleep. We are a couple of hours out."
"My stomach will keep me awake. Besides isn't it bad to let someone with a concussion sleep." Daisy said jokingly.
Clint smiled very slightly. "Why don't you tell me about how you became a shield agent? It will help keep you awake" Clint suggested.
"Ok, but you will have to tell me a story in payment for mine. Just like we used to do at the orphanage." Daisy said quickly before she began her tale.
When Daisy finished her tale they had nearly gotten to the destination. She had used her nicknames for most of them since she knew that the Avengers did not know the Coulson was alive or the new director of Shield.
Daisy smiled and says "You can tell me your story later. For now, go take care of your partner. I can walk by myself. Don't worry about me. Since I have been sitting here I have gotten a little bit better." She was lying about feeling better but knew that Clint would not push her.
Daisy slowly got up as Clint landed the plane. Daisy saw it was sunrise and walked back to let the others know. "Hey, we are here," Daisy said calmly. She was hiding her pain and emotions. Everyone gathered what they needed and went towards the ramp. Clint who was supporting Natasha was leading the charge towards the farmhouse.
Daisy was in the back of the group. Her pain was worse now that she was on her feet. Daisy instincts sharpen as she felt the vibration of 4 other people her. Daisy's eyes widened and realized just how personal this place is for Clint. As they entered Daisy smiled as she knew instantly she was right to conclude that the people she felt were his family.
As they walked in Daisy leaned against the wall. She was starting to ache all over. She stayed near the back and was partially hidden by the others. Daisy was rubbing her temples to alleviate the headache she had. Laura didn't notice her at first till the kids had come down to greet Clint and Natasha.
Daisy had watched the others and had been watching the whole scene. She saw Laura notice her for the first time and waved slightly. Daisy's movements must have caught Clint's eye so he led Laura over to Daisy.
"Laura meet Daisy Johnson. She is an old friend who is helping us with a slight problem." Clint said happily.
"Slight?" Daisy said with a little smirk before she reached out with her uninjured arm to shake Laura's hand. Laura grabbed the hand and shook it.
"It is nice to meet you, Daisy," Laura said happily while smirking at Daisy's small comment.
"It is nice to meet you too. Is there any way I can get some food?" Daisy asked curiously.
Laura smiled while chuckling slightly and says "Sure just come with me and I will make you something real quick."
Daisy smiled a little bigger but then grimaced as she got up. She had a major bruise on her back from hitting the wall a few times. Clint instantly began to help Daisy but Daisy waved him off. "I will be fine. I just will need a place to crash once I eat. I apologize ahead of time if I seem a little demanding. I am injured and I can heal quickly if I eat a large meal then sleep for a good while."
Laura waved her off and says "I have had to deal with Clint and Natasha coming back here while injured. I know how difficult they can be. You will be no trouble."
"Well, I am slightly different. I have a different type of system that helps me heal compared to the others." Daisy admitted.
Laura just smiled and nods. She sat Daisy down on the island table to be able to give her food directly. Laura began to make her breakfast and was done within 10 minutes.
Daisy smiled and began to eat the food happily. She already was starting to feel a lot better but sleepy as well. Soon the kids came over and got some food as well. They looked over at the battered Daisy curiously. Daisy smiled at them slightly but continued to eat.
Daisy was grateful that the kids had not questioned her as she had eaten. She put her plate in the sink and yawned widely. She stumbled over to the couch and laid down tiredly. She was soon completely passed out.
Daisy woke up to the sound of Clint and his son outside on the porch working on the railing. Daisy slowly got up and stretched to see how much longer she needed till she was fully healed. She was happy to note that there was only a dull ache in her back and her cuts were mostly healed. She was also surprised to see a blanket fall off of her. She slowly walked to the door and came outside. She saw both Steve and Tony cutting wood. Steve's pile was obviously bigger than Tony's.
Clint noticed Daisy and exclaimed, "Good afternoon sleeping beauty."
"Hello, Robin Hood." Daisy countered.
She saw Clint smile and turn back to his task. She noticed Laura sitting in one of the chairs on the porch. Daisy made her way over to the chair beside her and sat down. "Thanks for the breakfast and the blanket this morning. I am sorry that we came here so unexpected. I hope that we are not causing you too much stress." Daisy said while relaxing in the chair.
Laura looked at her and says "It is no problem."
They sat there silently for a couple of minutes before Laura asked "How did you meet Clint?"
Daisy smiled and says "I actually knew Clint while he and I were both in the same orphanage."
"You were an orphanage too?" Laura asked Daisy curiously.
"Yeah. A Shield team had found me when I was a baby and to protect me they dropped me off at an orphanage." Daisy said honestly. She looked over at the fields and sighed. She suddenly noticed that Laura was looking at the barn.
"I am sorry but I have to go take care of something. We can talk later. I would love to hear some stories about Clint when he is younger" Laura said as she got up to go to the barn.
Daisy watched curiously while smiling. She ended up going back into the house to the living room. She sat back down on the couch and began to look around the room curiously.
Daisy noticed the pictures on the mantel and walked over to look at them. She was happy that Clint's life had turned out for the better since she knew that his beginning was not the best.
She rested on the couch till about 15 minutes later when Tony walked in with Fury right behind him. Daisy instantly got up and crossed her arms.
"Agent Skye." Fury said while looking at her with his good eye.
Daisy scowled and says "Don't Agent Skye me. You are not in good standing with me." She didn't take the time to correct the man either.
"Woah, what did Pirate here do to piss off the walking earthquake?" Tony said almost giddily.
"It is classified," Daisy said through clenched teeth. She clenched her fists and had to calm herself down to keep her powers under control.
"You need to call your boss. He will not stop bugging me for updates on your condition since the incident in Africa. " Fury said to her seriously.
"I will talk to him tonight," Daisy said curtly as she sat back on the couch. Even after the long nap and food she had she still was not 100% yet.
"The sooner the better." Fury retorted.
"Don't push your luck Pirate," Daisy said while closing her eyes. Her headache had returned. She opened her eyes and looked at the door as she noticed footsteps approaching the door. She smiled weakly as Clint walked in smiling and looking at his children as they walked ahead of him. The kids ran up the stairs.
Clint walked over and smiled at them. He sat down on the couch near Daisy. He looked at her and saw she was still slightly tense. "How are you feeling DJ?" Clint asked her curiously.
"Better than earlier. But Pirate here is not a pleasant surprise. I think I should go call my boss. Fury told me that he was worried. " Daisy said evasively. She slowly got up and walked towards the Avenger's jet to get her phone.
Daisy walked towards the field then called Coulson. The phone rang a couple of times before Coulson answered.
"Skye?" He asked quickly.
"Hey DC. Fury told me to call you." Daisy said as normally as possible. She was leaning against the fence facing away from the house so that nobody could read her lips. She ignored the fact that he had called her Skye instead of Daisy.
"Are you ok? Hill told us that you were pretty banged up." Coulson asked Daisy worriedly.
"I could be better. I think that the Avengers are technically in worse shape than I am. While I am hurt mostly physically I can heal fast. Most of the Avengers were attacked by… Wanda Maximoff and had their worst fears shown to them." Daisy said honestly. She had hesitated at the name of her possible sister.
"Why did you hesitate to say Wanda's name? Is this the reason behind the test you requested?" May said making her presence known.
"God I forget how perceptive you two are," Daisy mumbled.
"Skye?" Coulson said worriedly.
"Yes. Has the test finished yet?" Daisy asked.
"Let me check," Coulson said. She could hear him tapping on a tablet.
There was a moment of silence and Coulson sighed. Daisy picked up on it and asked "what does it say? Just rip off the band-aid."
There was a minute of silence. "The results are negative. They were not your parents after all." May said since Coulson seemed to be having trouble putting the info into words.
Daisy took a deep breath and hid her anger and sadness. She sighed and says "Well if that is true I am changing my name back. It did really suit me in the first place."
"You ok Skye?" Coulson asked worriedly.
"I think I am going to be. I-I will call later. I need some time to think." Skye said honestly.
"Call us when you can. Even if it is just to vent. We are here for you if you need us." Coulson says to calmly.
"Will do. Talk to you later DC." Skye said before hanging up. She finally let the tears fall as the pulled her phone away from her ear. She didn't want to worry Coulson any more than he already was.
She had thought that she had found her real family but apparently they had just been manipulating her from the very start. She let the tears fall till she felt in control of her emotions enough to stop.
She wiped her eyes and slowly made her way back to the house. She was going to need more rest and food before she was up to fight once more.
