Daisy did not know how she let herself be talked into somethings really. Never volunteer was a lesson she thought she had learned early on, a lesson she seemed to forget pretty often. She was all about good causes as any decent human being should be, holiday season or not. Sitting outside a mall ringing a bell was not her idea of helping, she really did not feel like she was contributing to the cause. It was windy making her shiver now and then, and some people were down right rude. It was not like she rang her bell at everyone just to annoy them, seriously. Rubbing her chilled nose on the back of her red gloved hand she blinked when someone held out a Kleenex for her. Looking up she noted a leather jacket with a white rectangle design, odd for winter. Turning her gaze higher she studied a face she did not know, he looked trustworthy to her so she took it with a slight smile, "Thanks." The guy nodded slightly, watching her blow her nose without a word. Slipping a few bills into her pot he entered the mall and she crumpled the white cloth like sheet into her empty hand for later use.

It had been a few hours since one good Samaritan had taken a bit of pity on her and her day had not improved. The skies were gray and it seemed to bring down everyone's mood, as gray skies were apt to do really. Her arm was getting a bit sore and she really wished she could stop for a moment but shoppers kept on coming. Sighing softly she reminded herself charity was worth a not so fun day, even if it did not feel like it right now. Absent musing was interrupted by the heavenly smell of chocolate, looking up she recognized the jacket and smiled a little. A large steaming cup of coco was being offered to her, just like that. Looking up she graced the stranger with a sincere smile, "Thanks Mr. Good Samaritan." Taking the cup she allowed it to warm her hand through her glove as she breathed in the scent of coco, instantly feeling a bit better.

The guy slipped his gloved hands into his pockets with a slight shrug, "Names Robbie."

"Daisy," She supplied before taking a tiny sip of her gifted drink, it was just cool enough to not burn her tongue or mouth. Feeling even better she noted Robbie move stand out of the way but close enough to easily talk, it was nice to have a bit of company. Sipping her drink she debated what to say to him, small talk was safe enough, nothing too personal for the masses to over hear. Studying him through the rush of teens coming in now that school was out for the day she smiled to herself. The jacket was work over a light gray hoddie, the hood down so she could clearly see his face. A fact she was grateful for since he was far nicer to stare at then the outside walls of the mall. It was clear from his skin tone and dark hair he was Latino, maybe Italian since some of them were dark like that right? His voice didn't sound Italian to her, though she could be totally wrong. Jeans were comfortable looking though not super warm as she well knew, high tops were supper comfy looking and she was grateful she had worn sensible shoes to sit in. Switching hands she allowed the warn cup to ease the stiffness in her fingers, she needed better gloves even these were supper cute.

"You cool with just the drink?" Robbie asked casually, Daisy could stare at him all she wanted this tan stone had to get old after a while.

"Um...I don't want to put you out or anything," Daisy would not mind something to eat really, she had skipped lunch and the mall had all that food people kept walking out with. "A cinnamon pretzel would be really nice." Something sweet she could eat with one hand would be best, and it was pretty cheap as far as mall food went. Robbie studied her for a moment before walking away with a nod, Daisy sighed, she would have given him the money for it if he had waiting a second. Oh well she could just give it to him when he came back right? Why was he being so nice anyway? Was it just because people, at least some, were nicer this time of year or was it something else? A race thing? His parents had raised him right? He wanted in her pants? Biting her lips she jumped when she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder, "Robbie!...sorry, thank you I can,"

"My treat so just a thank you is fine," Robbie gave her a slight but sincere smile as he held the pretzel out for her, she had looked so dark for a moment he wondered what she had been thinking about.

Smiling she took the pretzel, he had a cute smile, even a subtle one like that it made her want to see a real face splitting one. He nodded and went back to his former spot nibbling on one of his own, watching the masses move but going unnoticed by most. Finishing the soft cinnamon treat she shoved the wrapper into her pocket, grabbing her coco finishing the cooled drink off. Sighing softly she went back to ringing making small talk whenever there was a lull in bodies but really not able to do much talking.

Her sentence finally done she stood, her body not happy with her at all but she had done some good today so stiff muscles be damned. Noting Robbie still standing vigil she smiled, all right she had done some good and made a handsome friend with manners. Curling a finger she grinned when he walked over to her with a slightly arched brow, he was cute questioning. "So I'm volunteering outside the mall for the Salvation Army all day, and its cold as Hell. But you've been keeping me company outside even though I don't know you, and now you're freezing too...even fed me."

Robbie shrugged as if it was all no big deal, "The cold doesn't bother, never did." Reaching out he took a crimson gloved hand, pulling the glove off before flatting a graceful looking hand to his cheek, "See?"

Daisy frowned slightly when Robbie took her hand, before pulling her glove away, she trusted him but was not sure what he was doing. When he placed her chilled hand on his cheek she understood, his skin much warmer then hers was. This close she notice a dusting of freckles she had not noticed while shivering and accepting little gifts from him all afternoon. Allowing her thumb to move along his warm dark skin she smiled, "Lucky you."

"Lucky me," Robbie agreed softly, allowing Daisy to move her thumb over his cheek, her hands were chilled but not hurting him.

Daisy bit her lip lightly, she really should turn her pot in and head home but she was reluctant to leave now. Sighing she reached for her pot only to cry out when some punk ran off with it, charging after him she blinked when Robbie got in front of him and kicked him on his ass. She put her foot on his wrist frowning down at him as Robbie came back to glare down at the guy. "Not smart asshole." Reaching down she took the pot before twisting her ankle grinning at the yelp of pain, a bruise was better then cuffs. "Come on let's go turn this in so we can get out of here." Robbie nodded and followed her without a word just a glare at the punk.

"Thanks, you made today bearable," Daisy was fine admitting it, he had been her guardian angel today and she was grateful."

"De nada," Robbie assured her, he knew how bad days felt and if he could make some random stranger's day a little better without having to save them from a punk at knife or gun point all the better.

Daisy nodded knowing that was basically a your welcome though she was sure it was more of an it was nothing. "Still can I treat you to some dinner? Seems the least I could do?"

Robbie frowned, Gabe was over at a classmates doing some project before Christmas break so he had no one waiting for him at home. "Yeah, sure might as well."

Nodding Daisy pulled out her phone, "Yeah, hey I won't need a ride. No I made a new friend. Robbie. Yeah he hung out outside with me for most of my stint as a bell ringer. Mm hm. Going to get a bite then I'll be heading home. Yes I'll call when I get there Mack put Elena back on? Yep. Tell you all about it promise." Pocketing her phone she nodded, "My friends worry you know?"

"Not really, mostly just me and my little brother,"Robbie had a few friends at work, and his boss looked out for him, but no one really worried about like that besides Gabe.

"Oh, foster system brat so all my friends are my family, in fact that is how I ended up outside the mall today. Jemma was suppose to do it but had to catch a flight to England today for family stuff, love that girl but she can be a little forgetful around the holidays." Fitz was going with her, Mack and Elena had a new born to fuss over, and May had taken Coulson to China to visit with her father since neither were big Christ in Christmas people. Her gifts from her out of the country people were all under her tree back home, promised to remain wrapped until a big group call unwrapping event was set to take place.

Robbie nodded, he had seen it before, "You ever wrong about people?"

"Once or twice but usually no, why you a serial killer?" Daisy had a good feeling about this guy, still did. He seemed sweet but guarded and it made her wonder if someone had burned in in his past too? Not something she was going ask before she even learned his last name, way too personal.

Robbie frowned as he considered that, did killing a few in self defense of others count? Letting that go he shook his head, "I'm only a threat to those who deserve it chica."

"Who deserves it?" Daisy had seen him knock that punk on his ass without batting an eye, but had not really hurt him.

"Those with innocent blood on their hands, in East LA you learn to tell the god from the bad real quick." Robbie had been down a few punks in his time, had to kill a few to save lives, not everyone lived like that.

Daisy nodded following along, figures he had save a few in the past, "Well thanks for the back up, saved me from having to chase him down."

"We made a pretty good team, this one is mine," Robbie patted Lucy's hood night black hood affectionately.

Daisy whistled, Mack would be drooling right now, pulling out her phone she snapped a few pics of the muscle car and sent them to Mack. Robbie rolling his eyes in the last one, "Mack loves cars like this, so shiny."

"Lucy is more then a pretty face just like you, get in and we can can go get some real food." Slipping behind the wheel he smiled, it felt good to be there as it always did.

"Lucy, as in fer?" Daisy teased slipping side and buckling up, it sure wasn't red at least.

"Drives like a bat out of Hell so yeah, don't worry devils like snark so you'll be just fine," Robbie pulled on the street not sure where she wanted to go exactly besides away from the mall.

"Damn straight I will be, know any good Mexican places near here? In the mood for authentic not white people food." Daisy had always liked Spanish food but Elena had spoiled her off of Americanized Mexican shit, and she was fine with that.

Robbie chuckled as he took a hard right, Lucy purring along the streets he knew so well, "Like that way you think."

"Perfect so do I," Grinning Daisy decided this would work out just fine, she owed Jemma a big thank you when she got home.
