Daisy frowned at the mess of crumpled paper and tape with open disdain. How is a master hacker, decent sniper, former bank-robbing vigilante anti-hero defeated by paper and tape? In the words of Leopold Fitz 'what the Hell?'. It was making her want to rip her hair out of her head, and now that it was long again that was a bit easier to do. Getting to her feet with a growl of frustration she looked to the ceiling and asked the universe why. Sighing she decided to go grab some coffee before getting back to Daisy vs wrapping paper round whatever the Hell it was. Entering the kitchen she frowned spotting Robbie, she had not been aware he was on base. Shouldn't he be home or beating down rioting shoppers. He did have a family, well his brother anyway, didn't close family do things this time of year? Did the Rider hate all the God related imaginary around? Was she over thinking in her head too much because of colored paper? "Caffeine your buddy too?"

"Just like the taste, don't need much sleep anymore," Robbie answered pouring coffee into a metal mug before setting it on fire.

Daisy blinked, really should not surprise her he could use his powers to do something beside fight and kill but heating up coffee was so mundane it took her a second. "Not sure if that is too much work or super lazy."

"Bit of both," Robbie answered before sipping his coffee, arching a brow he reached out and pulled a piece of tape from long hair. "Do I even want to know?"

"Ha ha," Daisy muttered pouring herself a cup and rolling her eyes, "Tape hates me."

"Maybe it just hates your hair?" Robbie suggested tilting his head, she looked annoyed and he was not sure why. Coulson had not mentioned any missions, seemed even the bad guys were too busy shopping to mess with the world lately. The Rider was a little bored but what was a few days to a fiery immortal bent on revenge?

Daisy huffed at the amused soul collector, it really was nice having him around and not pacing like a caged animal. "If you aren't supper busy with your coffee maybe you could help with something?"

Robbie shrugged setting the empty mug down, "Might be a good idea while you still have all your hair."

"Keep it up and I'm shaving yours off," Daisy muttered, downing her coffee she placed her hands on leather and pushed, she was annoyed and he was there and could take it.

"Do you know how to wrap gifts; because, I am shitty at wrapping and this one is for my mother? Well May but you know what I mean," Daisy had found the pretty imperial dragon with it's mother of pearl scales and little golden claws and had thought of May. Coulson's voice of reason needed some personal touches in her office, or some she could bring into his, whatever. The dragon was delicate looking but could easy take out someone's skull if need me, seemed perfect for May. A nice little chest for it to rest in made it all the nicer, God knew May could use a few nice things. Catching Robbie studying it she fidgeted a little, maybe it was not as nice as she thought.

"Leave it to you to get a gift that even comes in a box that can kill," Robbie commented with an amused half smirk.

"Well it is for May so...that women can kill with anything," Daisy teased back relaxing, Robbie seemed to approve so that made her feel better. He and May were not super close but they were both practical people she did not want to face pissed off. "So can you help me here or what?"

"Relax Chica I'm good with my hands," Robbie reminded the impatient Inhuman as he removed his gloves.

Daisy rolled her eyes as Robbie set his gloves down before sitting crossed legged on the floor studying the chest for a moment. "The gold and red paper please?" With a nod Robbie laid the roll out and got to work. Sitting on her bed behind him she watched him work, he sure looked like he knew what he was doing. Laying down she studied his profile as he worked, he had a cute concentrate face she would have to tease him about that later.

"I guess this kind of thing isn't something the teach you in your super spy school huh?" Robbie asked as he tied a mix of ruby and gold ribbon into a bow, the edge of the scissors used to add some curl to ends.

"Nope, I learned to fight and shot not wrap gifts, at least I learned well," She did not really need to snipe people anymore but the hand to hand still came in handy. Realizing he was done she dropped down beside him, "All right you can kick my ass at this."

Robbie chuckled softly at Daisy, he preferred seeing her happy, "Mom taught me."

Daisy bit her lip, sometimes she forgot Robbie had a normal childhood and life once upon a time, "Well she did not waste her time...think you could teach me? I still have a bunch of other gifts to wrap and only so much tape to get stuck in my hair."

Robbie titled his head studying Daisy for a moment before nodding, "Not the tape's fault."

"Daisy you really should not wander off with all the..," Simmons trailed off giggling at Daisy and Robbie tangled in ribbon and patches of clear tape. Pulling out her camera she took a picture before spotting the paper she wanted, "Ah, oh do continue I am done here."

Daisy sighed laying down, she was mess but her gifts were not so she counted it as a win. Reaching up she placed a golden bow between dark eyes. "So are we cleaning this up or staying like this until Mom and Dad show up?"

Robbie pulled some tape off the side of his neck, "They're your parents Chica I'm just visiting."

Groaning Daisy tossed an empty dispenser at him, "Help me get this stuff off of me or I will make sure Gabe gets a copy of that photo."

"You could have just asked nicely," Robbie chided shaking his head as he reached to pull the mass of color away from her pale gray shirt.

"Thanks tough, this was fun," Daisy held still as Robbie's hand gripped a mass of ribbon, she did not want his hand to slip because she jerked. The guy had manners and she liked not having to worry about those hands unless they were bone alone.

"Anytime," Robbie assured her, mass of ruined color dropped on the floor between them charred ends standing out.

Daisy smiled taking the bow back, watching him free himself before shrugging his jacket back on fully, "Lunch?"

Robbie tossed the new ribbons onto the pile from Daisy, "Sure."

Daisy nodded jumping to her feet and hold out her hand, Robbie taking it after snatching his gloves from her floor. Watching him shove them into a pocket she grinned, "You need to try a prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella sandwich with just a hint of pesto aioli. Trust me."
