Was going to do this the other way around but when I looked up black skeleton unicorns I found the perfect one and went well there we are. I may go back and do a reverse of this but not sure, thoughts welcomed.

WarNinGs: kinda dark at parts

"And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him." This will makes sense by the end.

Daisy walked up to the Hellcharger as Lucy had been dubbed by the Team, patting the open hood as she glanced down at Robbie. Fitz had modified some basic S.H.I.E.L.D. tech to withstand intense heat and had asked Robbie to test it out. It was all things she could use when teamed up with him so he had shrugged and said sure. Eyeing the sci-fi looking tech next to customized muzzle car upgrades she smiled absently, Lucy could already take Lola this would only make her more awesome. Watching Robbie work she was fascinated, he moved with such focused grace it was clear this was something he knew in and out like her and hacking. Open jacket revealed black and that was not surprising since he had been planing on working on Lucy today. "Hey Robbie it Okay to talk?"

"What you need?" Robbie asked not pausing, he was almost done and it was not like Daisy would be insulted if he kept working. He had never had time or patience for look at me when I am talking or else people, even less now.

"Not need so much as want," Daisy clarified, catching Robbie shrug slightly as he worked, "Right might as well be talking to May sometimes." Robbie looked up and smirked at her before going back to work and Daisy grinned, as long as he was in a good mood she was happy. "What do you want for Christmas?

"A unicorn," Robbie answered as he finished up, giving the last piece a once over to make sure it was not going to just come free.

"Seriously?" Daisy asked frowning at the guy she was still learning to read, it could be hard to tell when he was being sarcastic.

Robbie looked up as he wiped off his hands out of habit more then need, "Death didn't drive a sweet car in Revelations did he?"

Daisy opened her mouth before closing it frowning, "Um never read it but I'm going to go with a no."

Robbie shook his head tossing the rag back to the table of tools Fitz had left for him to play with, "Smart."

"You are a strange one Reyes," Daisy was not all that surprised Robbie had read up on all that God stuff since he became the Rider, she sure as Hell would have.

Robbie arched a brow at the hacker turned terrorist as he slipped his gloves back on, "How can you tell around here?"

"Don't sell yourself short Hot Wheels you stand out even in this mad house." Even without powers Robbie was strange enough to stand out, all male May with the looks and only taking orders from Coulson.

Robbie smirked as he closed the hood, sooner or later these people would run out of nicknames for him, the Rider, and Lucy but not today, "Good to know, gotta go check in with your boss since I'm done."

"Go, and say Hi for me," Daisy was used to friends having to run off mid conversation sometimes, and Robbie sounded fine with it. Robbie nodded as he walked off and Daisy sighed softly as she pulled out her phone, "Unicorn huh?"

Daisy grinned as she knocked on Robbie's door, he was going to be leaving tomorrow since he had family and neither brother seemed inclined to spend Christmas on base. She did not blame Robbie for wanting to get away from them and focus on Gabe for a little while, who knew when he would have to go either to help S.H.I.E.L.D. or settle something for the Rider. If she had normal family she would beat it too, but at least she was not alone. When Robbie opened the door she blinked, he was just wearing rich green and his jeans since he had likely just changed after his shower, training with May did that to you. "Bad time?"

Robbie eyed the Inhuman, glancing down before focusing on her amused expression, "Depends on what you have behind your back."

"Fair enough," Daisy agreed using Robbie's preferred phrase, smirking when his lips curled into a half one. "Since you won't be here on the 25th I figured might as well give this to you now."

Robbie tilted his head, eyeing red and gold curiously, "I...I didn't know we were exchanging gifts."

"I tend to get everyone a little something so don't worry about it, you going to take it or just stare at it?" Daisy shifted the gift a little, it was sweet he felt guilty for not having one for her, he might have completely forgotten their talk like a week ago. Robbie took the gift from her and she watched him tear it open with bare hands, it was nice being about to see them. His confused expression was adorable, "You said a unicorn and I figured 'Death' won't be riding a cheerful storybook one so...cute huh?"

Robbie studied the 8 inch high black unicorn with white leg bones and skull showing, a little heart, ears, and silver horn. It was unique all right, "You got this because I was joking around?"

Daisy frowned, had he never gotten a gag gift before? Well with him maybe not, "About the unicorn or being Death?"

"Both, sort of," Robbie had been more serious about being Death, Hell did follow him where ever he went already.

Daisy frowned even deeper, raising her hand she quaked him back into his room careful not to hurt him. Just because he could heal himself did not mean he needed more bruises, or broken furniture he would have to explain. Crossing her arms she glare at the big bad Ghost Rider sitting on his bed stunned, "You really do suck at interacting with human beings, seriously Reyes." Turning she marched off not caring to hear anything more he had to say.

"You got him this?" Simmons asked eyeing the stuffed toy offered on Amazon. Daisy nodded still slumped beside her. "Well it is adorable, and rather fitting for a resurrected host for a demonic entity, or whatever It is."

"He was joking," Daisy pouted chin in her hands, she had seen it and thought it was perfect. Just a cute little reminder she wasn't scared of him, or what he had become, and it had turned out to be a mistake.

Simmons frowned at her friend, "Did he seemed displeased?" Daisy looked up at her, "Just because he said he was joking did not mean he did not like the gift...does it? You do know him better."

Daisy blinked, Robbie had said he had been joking but had not looked at the toy in a negative way just a confused one. She had over reacted and not really given him a chance to react beyond his initial confusion, "shit."

"I take it your reaction was a misplaced over reaction than?" Simmons asked, shaking her head when Daisy nodded, "Go apologize before he leaves and this is still unresolved."

"You're right, thanks Jem," Daisy hugged her friend before running out of the lab.

Daisy raised her hand to knock before leaving it hovering, biting her lip she placed her hand on the door and pushed gently. Opening the door a crack she shifted so she could see inside the room, it was not like he would worry about locking the door here. Robbie was sitting on the foot of his bed, right leg folded, left foot on the floor. Her gift was sitting in his lap, his smart phone in his hand, shoulders slumped, "And she just walked off and I have no idea what I even did."

"Sounds like she was really mad you didn't love her gift."

"It's cute I was just surprised, who buys someone like me a stuffed animal, skeleton unicorn or not?" Robbie sighed looking down at the stuffed animal with a smile, it was cute.

"Someone who knows you...the real you."

Robbie closed his eyes, hugging the toy, "I'm not that man anymore...I can't be."

"You are and you can be Robbie, you just have to let yourself. Look how you've changed since you met her, all of them? I was wrong to chase her off she is good people, and you need those around you."

"I know your right Gabe it's just...since I died I have been so scared to let other get close to me, to what I've become. Daisy has seen enough she doesn't need to walk the edge of Hell with me," Robbie knew he was looking at a long ride and it was best he make that ride as alone as he could.

"Everyone fighting 'the good fight' is already there right? They need your power and you need them to keep you whole."

"I'm sorry I've been gone so much," Robbie hated leaving Gabe alone for so long, he had become a monster in part to protect him.

"You had to deal with that book, it's safe and so are your new friends so don't apologize."

Robbie nodded, "You sure you don't want to hear that more often?"

"Not because you are helping good people, even if they are spies."

"I know, some of the most honest people I know and they lie for a living." Robbie chuckled softly shaking his head, "You are the only normal thing in my life."

"I am extraordinary thank you very much but I forgive you."

"Maybe I do need some sleep if I am making such stupid mistakes." Robbie leaned back a bit relaxing, Gabe was right as he often was. His people skills had never been his strongest suit before he had died, at least most strangers left him alone.

"Take it easy Robbie, Janette has been taking good care of me, and yes I have thanked her for you."

"I'll be home tomorrow Gabe, and I will stay for a while I swear." Robbie would make sure his home was safe before returning to the Playground or any other base unless it was an emergency. They owed him that, and did not have the people to keep Gabe safe while hunting down Watchdogs or whoever.

"I'll be here, just worry about yourself for one night."

"I'll try," Hanging up Robbie tilted his head back with a sigh, he had no idea how to fix things with Daisy besides just hunting her down and talking to her. She had quaked him halfway across his room so it might be smarter to let her cool down a little. Sighing softly he lowered his chin to soft plushie, looking up at a knock.

Daisy bit her lip watching Robbie raise his head watching her closely, "Not here to fight." He nodded slightly but did not take his eyes off her hands, "I didn't hurt you did I?"

"I'm fine," Robbie answered keeping his hands on his folded leg, he didn't want to fight either.

"I overreacted, as if I should be mad you are comfortable enough around me to crack jokes right? He looks cute with you," Daisy had hoped it would but seeing it sitting in his lap, bare arms wrapped loosely around it it was adorable.

Robbie looked down, looking back up he shrugged, "Death rides a pale horse."

"Perhaps, but you have a thing for sliver and black, also unicorn not a horse," Daisy moved closer pleased when he watched her but not wary anymore.

"Does that make you War?" Robbie straighten as she stopped before him, she had become a one woman army in the name of Inhumans so it worked for him.

Daisy considered that for a moment, War and Death were the two badass ones, "What color horsey does she have?"

"Red," Robbie answered smirking slightly at the use of she, he was not exactly chosen by God so why not make War a she?

"Lola is red, all right War and Death can have a field day with bad little puppy dogs," Daisy was fine correcting those who were simply afraid of Inhumans but those who wanted her dead, well she would have to save them from Robbie.

"You have something against dogs now?" Robbie had no love for Watchdogs, taking them down for S.H.I.E.L.D. or Daisy were both fine with him.

Daisy grinned down at the man who had returned from death and gained powers just like her, how far they had come since trading punches in a junkyard. "I always preferred guard dogs over attack dogs," She had never really had dogs growing up, foster homes did not always have one and living out of a van was more cat friendly.

Robbie tilted his head as he considered that, the two big guns for S.H.I.E.L.D. now. They say a dog cannot have two masters, Robbie could stand bowing his head to Coulson since the super spy would not take advantage. Daisy was given a lot of free rein as long as she tried to keep anything illegal on the down low and he already covered his tracks, "Never had a dog, not the best neighborhood."

"Foster brat then lived out of van before hooking up with Coulson so," Daisy shrugged placing her hands on solid shoulders. Eyes as dark and haunted as her own were perfectly calm, hard muscle relaxed, "I guess you could always get a hell hound, though housebreaking one is likely a bitch."

Robbie smirked, as if he needed anymore demons in his life, "I'll stick with undead unicorns thanks."

Daisy grinned chuckling, "Remember to tell Gabe we made up after hello so he can stop worrying about you so much hm?"

"So demanding," Robbie cooed shaking his head, Gabe would be happy to hear Daisy was not mad at him anymore. His little brother worried about his personal happiness too much but he was a good kid so what choice did he have?

Daisy nodded as she lifted her right hand and allowed her fingers to lightly trace the path of freckles on darker skin. Dark eyes closed, frame still, and the Inhuman smiled as her fingers backtracked as she leaned closer, "That an observation or compliant there Reyes?"

"A bit of both," Robbie answered keeping his eyes closed, short nails and light callouses were alien but pleasant.

"Good boy," Daisy praised before lightly kissing Robbie's amused grin, pulling away she smiled when opened his eyes grin wider then before. "Come on before Jemma worries we killed each other."

"Wouldn't every alarm on the base go off if we were fighting for real?" Robbie was pretty sure this place had like a dozen alarms that would all be very annoying. Allowing Daisy to pull him to his feet he frowned slightly, fire at least right?

Daisy chuckled softly, Robbie had a point if they started sending each other through walls it would get loud in more ways then one. Watching Robbie slip his jacket back on she smiled when he kept the unicorn in his arms, "Don't use logic when it comes to my friends worrying about me, haven't you learned anything yet?"

Robbie rolled his eyes as he walked past her, "They should be more worried about the walls."

Daisy playfully smacked his arm, "What did I just say huh? Come on food is this way." Taking his wrist she pulled the grinning Latino behind her, this was how things should be around here.
