I did it again. Ended up with some good stuff here but went off script so to speak. Really hope people don't miss out of these simply because they are holiday related.

WarNinGs: Deep not exactly fluffy

Malinda May, do not argue with this woman people.

Daisy nodded to herself as she checked her phone, little dots at every important communal doorway, "Looks good."

Elena nodded holding a spring of mistletoe in her hands, she had been busy with her powers but it would be worth it. "You are sure no one will mind yes?"

"Nah this is an old tradition, and getting someone you like under a sprig is a fun game, besides you can refuse no harm no fowl." Daisy knew most people were lighthearted about the whole thing, a peck on the cheek between friends nothing more all good.

"So this is for everyone than?" Elena knew all about the tradition, it was well known and not just by white people.

"Sure, after the shit we've gone through with Aida and the Watchdogs we could all use a little break right?" Daisy was fine getting people to forget the last year if even for a few moments at a time, everyone deserved that.

"True," Elena did not need an excuse to kiss Mack but if others did who was she to stand int their way? "We got every door you wanted yes?"

"Private rooms, Coulson's office, and bathrooms are off limits so yep. I wonder how long it will take others to notice?" Daisy liked the idea of couples both noticing and smiling, little moments meant a lot in their line of work.

"Not too long, I will replace any removed if I can," Elena liked the idea of playing Cupid a bit early, these people could use more love in their lives.

Daisy grinned before frowning, "Thanks, gotta go meet Robbie in the gym. Later,"

"Good luck!" Elena called smiling as her younger friend ran off, it was good to see her smiling again.

Daisy frowned up at Robbie, who was looking down at her with a bit of a smirk, "Cheater."

"Why, because I knocked you on your ass?" Robbie asked titling his head still amused, she was cute all rumpled.

"Because you have to be," Daisy retorted holding up her hand for him to take.

Robbie smirked taking her hand, "Just because I wasn't trained by May doesn't mean I can't fight."

Daisy nodded as she gripped his wrist, still getting used to feeling his bare skin on hers, "You aren't exactly subtle." Pulling on his bare arm as she twisted she smirked when she straddled him, knees pinning his wrists down. "Now this is better," Resting her hands on his chest she did not mind holding still.

Robbie blinked up at the lose pale gray tank top over black and nodded, "Not hating it no."

Daisy mockingly rolled her eyes at her partner, she knew he was teasing so she did not get mad. She was hot and her attire did not hide that any more then his did, though it was still odd seeing him without his jacket at least on. Dark crimson and black were what he preferred since blood did not stain them, and when he sparred with May or Mack he did want them to hold back. Daisy would draw blood but never went full out on him even if he could take it, he was not an enemy anymore. "Not going to throw me Reyes."

Robbie chuckled softly, "May would be heartbroken if that did." When Daisy grinned at that he shifted, ankles resting on either side of her throat before he pulled her down. "She also has taught me a few things."

Daisy blinked when she felt warm skin on either side of her neck before pressure, her back arching over the mat, knees still on either side of Robbie's waist. "Show off," His hold was firm but was not the crushing force he would use on a less friendly target. "Nice to know those learn to fight like an agent lessons have been paying off, though you've been holding out on me." This was more advanced then he had been able to do when they had started, he could hit like a tank but needed work on his finesse, seems he had been.

"Where would be the fun in knowing everything?" Robbie asked propping himself up on his elbows, Daisy had only gotten into Lucy because she was curious. Even now that they were friends she was constantly trying to figure him out to varying degrees of success.

Daisy met dark eyes and smiled a bit, Robbie was a mystery sometimes but at least she knew he was not a ticking time bomb as some of them had first feared he was. Placing her hands on his ankle she tapped and he lifted his leg so she could sit back up. "Next time we spar show me what you can really do now huh? We are partners so I kinda need to know."

Robbie nodded, there was playing and there was training, it was smart to not confuse the two, "Still have some catching up to do."

"You're doing just fine," Daisy assured him as she got to her feet and held out her hand for him, smiling when he took it. "No one's fault I got a head start on super spy training."

"Not something I need to know, I don't do spy," Robbie walked over and grabbed a towel drying his face. The terms, protocols, and fighting skills were fine but he was a fighter not a spy.

Daisy took the other towel when he held it out, "You keep telling yourself that Reyes."

Robbie rolled his eyes as the towel fell to his shoulders, "Not letting Coulson fully adopt me Chica."

"Will so," Daisy countered lightly smacking his chest, it was only a matter of time.

"Keeping telling yourself that Johnson," Robbie teased right back as he head for the door, he preferred to shower in his own room after a work out. A flash of color drew his eyes up and he stopped, reaching up he touched the green herb. Frowning slightly when it turned out to be real and not simply plastic, "huh."

Daisy watched Robbie unsure if he was going to pull the festive decoration down or not. He seemed curious, she had never really seen real mistletoe before either so she understood. At his soft huh she walked up to him, "Kinda pretty huh?"

"Sometimes poisonous things are," Robbie commented as he lowered his hand and glanced at Daisy with a slight frown. "Not even going to ask."

"Ask?" Daisy frowned before crossing her arms, "It is rude to just assume it was me you know?"

"Who said I was assuming anything?" Robbie countered tilting his head, he was pretty sure it was her doing.

"You got something against traditions? It is a holiday staple like wreaths and candles, all that Christian stuff." Daisy dismissed, figured Robbie would be difficult about such a harmless little thing.

"Pagan not Christian, doesn't mater," Robbie shook his head, "Should have known even around here I would be dealing with crazy kiss happy children."

"Wow, it is a fun little tradition, what the Rider hate this time of year or something?" Daisy was still not sure if the Rider was an alien, demon, or what but she was willing to go with it. Robbie was not and Inhuman, and the Rider was something she would want gone too. Robbie glanced at the brunette, she was still trying to figure him out and failing at the moment. Sighing softly he closed his eyes and walked out the door heading for his room, he need to shower and change. "Robbie?" Daisy called stopping in the door when he did not even slow down, what had she said? "Robbie..," Sighing she headed back and grabbed her phone before heading back to her own room.

Daisy frowned chin in her hands, "I really messed up."

Elena shook her head as she stirred, "Come, you two fight then calm down it is not so bad." Two strong wills sometimes repealed each other, it had taken Mack long enough to admit he loved her.

"You remember when I told you about the quinjet?" Daisy asked, Elena nodded even if Diasy was not seriously asking. "It was like that...kinda. We were sparing and having fun right, seems May has been training him on the down low because he pulled out a move I know he didn't learn from cleaning up street trash. Session over, playful banter with a bit of flirting all good, then he noticed the mistletoe. I came up to him while he was studying it and he just knew I was behind it. Tried to joke about it and he muttered about having to deal with kiss happy children as he just walked out. Now he has been avoiding me so I can't even apologize...is this a cultural thing?"

Elena arched a brow, "No, I think it is a personal thing." Robbie was still guarded around them but she had not considered how far he had retreated from his fellow man since becoming the Rider.

"You think he hates being kissed or something?" Daisy had not considered that, some people did not like being touched but she did not seem to trigger that reaction in him anymore.

"Since returning from death he has pulled away from others, even now he still wears his gloves and jacket most of the time." Elena did not like Robbie distancing himself so much, they all knew what he was and did not fear him yet he still feared himself.

Daisy bit her lip looking down, she had not even thought about that. Robbie had relaxed around her and she just took it for granted, why? "Damn...I have to talk to him."

"He should be in the hanger with Mack still," Elena supplied as she poured steaming liquid into large mugs. "If you go now you should catch him alone." Daisy nodded running off without more prompting getting a smile. "Always making things so difficult."

"I'm sure Daisy didn't mean to set you up as the target of every single lady who thinks you're cute on base." Mack had caught a few ladies trying and Robbie having none of it, Simmons had kissed his cheek shocking him and Fitz but she was the only one. Jemma was a sweetheart so it had gone over just fine after the shock wore off, she could kiss anyone she wanted to and get away with it.

Robbie frowned at the large male he had formed an understanding with before Hells and the Framework. Simmons kissing him like that had shocked him, but her bright smile was worth a moment or discomfort. "Simmons usually like that?"

"When we are all save and sound yeah, it is nice to see it again." Mack could do with more quite time that was for sure, they were all still healing from the Framework. "Plus the look on your face was priceless."

Robbie crossed his arms before half smirking, "Yeah it was, Gabe will never let me hear the of it."

Mack chuckled patting the leather glad shoulder, Robbie had grown on him the Rider never would, "It will be good for him to see you acting normal." At the sigh and slumping shoulders mack frowned, "You okay man?" Robbie shook his head, "Want to talk about it?"

"Elena said you were a good listener," Daisy trusted Mack and he got why, even when he had been considered a threat Mack had still been honest and upfront with him. Like Coulson they needed him but did not trust him, the trust issues were mostly gone now it was simply feeling each other all out and learning to work together now.

"I try, and those of faith are suppose to be slow to judge people," Mack had made mistakes in his past but he still tried to be a good man.

"I sold my soul that speaks volumes to someone who believes, even if it was in part to save my brother," Gabe meant everything to him, everyone there knew it and understood. They may fight to protect the world but they all had a few precious people in it they fought harder for.

"Can't say I wouldn't have made the same deal to save Hope, God Framework Hope was so real if Elena hadn't have been there I would have just let it end after losing her again." Mack meet dark eyes, understanding shining there, "Would have been a poor way to pay you back for what you did."

"You only needed saved from Rider because of me, I asked for it you never did." Robbie had made his choice, he did not regret saving Gabe or Mack, both were better people then he had ever been.

Mack nodded, Robbie was always pretty practical about that kind of thing, choices had consequences. "This has something to do with that thing doesn't it? What you scared to get too close because your a monster now?" Robbie looked away and Mack shook his head, "You are not that thing Robbie, you are the only thing that can keep it on a leash. Daisy has dated sinners and saints before she knows what she is getting into."

Robbie frowned, "You've had the Rider in your head you know that isn't true."

"Yes, I do. Look I know we aren't supper close but you know how we fell about Daisy right?" Robbie nodded, it had been made pretty clear to him that Daisy was important to all of them, and he was tolerated because she vouched for him. "Well she cares and there is no force in Heaven or otherwise that is going to change that girl's mind so just accept it."

"I can't drag anyone else down with me, I won't," Robbie knew he was fighting an uphill battle to get rid of the Rider but it was his battle, no one else could fight it for him.

"You aren't Hive so cut that out huh? Look she decided you were worth saving so stop fighting her and let her already. Trust me you'll be happier," Mack knew he was now that he had stopped fighting his feelings for Elena. Catching sight of Daisy in the doorway he smiled at her. "Gotta meet Yo Yo before she has to come find me."

"Go," Robbie dismissed with a bit of a smile, making that woman come find you was unwise. Mack left with a chuckle and Robbie frowned down at the work still left to do, he was still learning the high tech spy gear. Shaking his head he backed away from the table and headed for the door, stopping the frame when he spotted Daisy. Frowning at the crazy girl he stood his ground, "Mack just left."

"I am not here to talk to Mack," Daisy knew Robbie was fighting with himself but when he pushed she wanted to push right back. It was not right for him to shy away from them, not right at all and it was time he stopped. "You going to say something or just glare at?"

"You said you wanted to talk so talk," Robbie did not care if Daisy wanted to save him or not he did not want to drag her down with him. She had seen enough evil she did not need to walk his path, it would be cruel to let her.

Daisy held up her hand and channeled her power pinning Robbie to the door frame, moving closer she watched his face. Annoyance was expected but no glowing eyes or peeling skin just yet, "Stop fighting me Robbie, I am not afraid of you."

Robbie closed his eyes, he had been pinned like this before, "I won't drag you down with me, ask Mack what it felt like."

"No, I let Ward suffer alone when I could have helped I won't do that again, not to you. I know you think if you let anyone close we'll burn right along side you but I'm not scared just like Gabe. You looked into my soul, and I've seen enough of yours to know you are a good man who will win their soul back no mater how long it takes so don't condemn yourself to loneliness."

Robbie closed his eyes resting his head back, he knew her demons and she had seen his. Opening his eyes he frowned slightly, lashing out with his foot he knocked her off balance enough o grab her upper arms and pull her close. Daisy kept her hands up, powers holding him where he was for the moment, they both knew she could not hold him forever. Leaning close he brushed her lips, holding them when she moved closer and met him half way. Hands sliding under his jacket to rest at the back of his neck, "You never were as scared as you really should have been."

"I had a death wish remember? Now I want to live, I want you to live," Daisy smiled as her fingers played with very short dark hair. "I'm sorry I didn't think about anything but stealing a kiss when I asked Elena to help me hang the stuff. I guess I am so used to crazy shit you are just normal to me."

Robbie chuckled softly, forehead resting on Daisy's red and green plaid shoulder, "Chica you need so normal friends."

Daisy chuckled when Robbie did, his laugh was cute, "You need more friends normal or otherwise."

Robbie nodded, these guys were all pretty great really, "I'll worry about next year."

"Damn right you will," Daisy agreed grinning, closing her eyes when Robbie kissed her again. It would be nice spending New Years like a normal person, well as normal as two super powered people could be.

Once again taking a nice little premise and turning it into full fledged One Shot. Starting to feel a little bad for people who only read holiday fics around said holidays since at least this one has some deep stuff in it. Maybe Christmas in July?
