I do not own Marvel or Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Daisy had to get out of there, the last thing she needed was Jemma to get herself killed or to expose everything.
"You okay?" Ward asked her.
"I'm fine, just a little bit stressed." Daisy brushed him off.
Grant faked a smile. "We should get going, after this we can maybe finally have a night to ourselves."
"Yeah." Daisy said distractedly. "Let's go."
They got in the car and headed off to the last known location of Jemma. "So how do we want to do this, do we want to-" Ward began.
"I was thinking we should split up." Daisy interrupted. At his hurt look she came up with an excuse. "We can find her faster and have more personal time that way. It's not like one unarmed girl is a match for either of us either."
"Skye, are you sure we are okay? You're acting awfully cold today." Grant asked concerned.
"We're fine, I-it's been a rough day, that's all." Daisy dodged.
Grant parked the car. "I'll see you at your place, after we finish the mission." Daisy informed him getting out. "I'll go west you go east." She kissed him on the cheek and took off into the forest around her.
"Simmons," Daisy hissed.
"Jemma! Where are you?" she stage whispered.
"Daisy!" Jemma exclaimed.
They embraced each other. "Jemma we need to get you out of here!" Daisy hissed. "You can stay in my apartment for now, come on!"
"You're Hydra!" Jemma exclaimed seeing her badge.
"Shhhhhh!" Daisy shushed. "Come on."
Once they were safely inside Daisy's apartment, Jemma broke down.
"'It was awful! Coulson didn't even recognize me!" Jemma whined.
"Jemma!" Daisy snapped. "You should be safe here, only me and my boyfriend know about this place. I'll stay with him tonight and we'll talk tomorrow." Daisy explained. "If anyone enters the house before 6 PM tomorrow, shoot first and ask questions later."
"Where are you going Daisy?" Jemma asked.
"To save my cover." She replied running out the door.
"Where were you? You were gone a while." Grant asked rushing to her.
"I'm fine, just chased a red herring. I thought I heard something, turns out it was a deer." Daisy lied.
Ward nodded, seemingly accepting her excuse. "Shall we then?" he said gesturing to the car.
She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek before climbing into the car.
"My place?" he asked.
Daisy nodded in response.
When they got back to Grant's flat, he guided Daisy towards the couch and sat next to her taking her small hand in both his larger ones.
He turned to her with a resigned look. "There is no easy way to tell you this Skye but I had the test results from your screening, you're an inhuman."
She turned to look at his impassive face and improvised and briefly kissed him. "Thank you! That's what had me so stressed, I forgot to change my results this time." Daisy lied.
Grant was dumbfounded. "You know?"
"How could I not? It's not something that changes." Daisy countered.
"B-but I thought you were loyal to Hydra? Why didn't you tell them?" Grant asked confused.
"But I thought you were loyal to Hydra? Why haven't you exposed me?" Daisy refuted.
Grant was silent.
"I wanted to serve Hydra as best as possible, being an Inhuman would have trapped me in a lab when I'm more of an asset in the field-" Daisy trailed off as she realized something.
"You're the mole!" She accused.
"Don't be silly Skye," Grant protested half heartedly.
"Don't deny it!" Daisy snapped. "That's why you wouldn't move in with me! Why you broke Vijay's larynx, why you don't have a problem with my Inhuman status!" Daisy argued.
Grant hung his head. "I always knew you were a weakness, but I convinced myself I could handle you, that-" he ranted.
"Grant!" Daisy yelled. "I'm not going to turn you in, I'm a traitor too. Remember?"
"Your not?" He gasped.
"Of course not. Grant, I love you." Daisy said calmer.
"But you've been Hydra your entire life. Why would you turn on them?" He protested unbelievingly.
"When they decided my people were nothing more then dogs!" Daisy snapped. "Or how about when made me torture people? My loyalty was only to Garrett not Hydra."
Most of that was a lie, Skye was loyal completely to Hydra and enjoyed others suffering but it was a convenient excuse. Skye felt betrayed over Grant not being loyal, but cared for him enough to not expose him. This Skye was found at 19, the first time she hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D. and raised by Garrett as a Hydra loyalist.
"Then why play along?" Grant argued. "You only had to torture people so much, because you enjoyed it."
"Why do you play along?" She countered. At his unconvinced look she continued. "No one would expect the one who revels in others pain and hates inhumans to be one, or to be harboring fugitives. No one expects them to be deleting important files."
That was only a half truth, she had only deleted the files of where S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters are located in her world, the old S.S.R. base the Playground this morning. She had planned to hide Jemma there later if things had got rough.
"I'm going to trust you, please don't betray it." Grant told her grabbing the keys off the table.
"So where are we going?" Daisy asked after about a half hour of driving.
Grant looked at her fondly. "Can't tell you so don't ask, just be happy I didn't put the bag over your head."
"Your taking me to the r-" Daisy was cut off by his hand clamping over her mouth.
"I said don't ask." He hissed.
They soon pulled into an all to familiar bar. Daisy laughed.
At Grant's raised eyebrow she improvised. "You're taking me to a bar?"
He said nothing and instead got out and walked towards the door, leaving Daisy jogging after him to catch up.
He approached the bartender. "We would like private booth #6."
The bartender looked Daisy up and down shrewdly. "Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the Earth.." he began.
"Nothing is born that is weaker than man." Grant Ward finished.
The bartender nodded satisfied with the vague answer, and led them over to a table hidden behind some curtains. When they were both comfortably seated, he went back to the bar and pressed a button.
The bench they were sitting at descended into the ground.
"Seriously you hid your secret base in a pub?" Daisy teased.
Before Grant could reply, there was a loud groaning noise. The door slid open to reveal the all too familiar Playground base.
Grant held out his hand helping her to her feet. "Welcome to the resistance."
"You are part of the resistance." Daisy stated slowly spinning taking it all in.
"Come on we don't have time to sightsee, I have to take you to Jeffery." Grant said dragging her along to Coulson's old office.
"Wait here." He ordered.
After about five minutes, Grant poked his head out. "He'll see you now."
Daisy gathered her bearings, and entered the office. Standing behind the desk was the all to familiar face of the Patriot, Jeffrey Mace.
"So Skye," he began pacing back and forth. "You discovered Agent Ward and he now tells me you were faking your loyalties are a potential inhuman and were helping people? I don't buy it."
Skye looked him in the eyes. "Terrigan can easily prove that I'm an Inhuman and whether you buy it or not, the story doesn't change. I have no loyalty to Hydra." She declared.
"I have people down stairs who you tortured! You tortured Vijay Nadeer earlier today! People who would have died if it wasn't for Grant! You've killed countless Inhumans and rebels!" Mace yelled.
Daisy flinched. "I did what I had too to stay under the radar. I apologize to anyone I have hurt, but my loyalty does not belong with Hydra."
"Why should I trust you?" Mace demanded.
"You shouldn't. You can't afford to trust blindly, this is a war. Don't trust me, trust Grant." Daisy pleaded.
"The only reason you are still alive, is because I trust him." Mace retorted. "I would like a word with Ward, step outside."
Daisy obediently went outside.
"Can we really trust her?" Mace asked Grant once they were alone.
Ward sighed. "Even if she was loyal to Hydra, she cares enough about me to not out me, so at least for now we should be safe."
"I'm trusting you on this one but I'm not stupid. For the next week you follow her make sure she's not reporting to anyone. If she is, I trust you will do what it takes." Mace ordered.
"Sir-" Grant protested.
"Do it, or I'll eliminate her now." Mace threatened.
At Grants reluctant nod he continued, "Send her back in."
"You okay?" Grant asked her as they sat in the car later that night.
"I'm fine, today was just a little crazy." Daisy told him.
"So is your offer from yesterday still available?" Grant asked grabbing her hand.
She looked at him with wide eyes. It was obvious what this was at least partly about, they didn't trust her and needed Grant to monitor her. Part of her wanted to spit in his face and let him know what he was doing but getting them to trust her quickly was more important. So instead she just smiled and kissed him. "I would love to live with you."
"Can we stop at my place, so I can get some stuff?" Daisy asked as they drove.
Grant turned to her. "Skye, it's late-"
"Cut the crap Grant. If I wanted to expose the resistance, I would shoot you right now and call them." Daisy shouted.
"I'm sorry, we can stop at your place." Grant said abashed.
"It's fine. I know you are just following orders." Daisy said placing a hand on his knee.
They drove in silence, before finally reaching the apartment. "Come on let's go." Grant said pushing the car door open.
Daisy groaned and set her phone and gun on the car seat. "Please let me go in alone, I'll leave my phone and gun her even, but please let me pack my things on my own." Daisy pleaded.
"Fine." Grant grunted, closing the car door.
Daisy kissed him on the cheek, and walked into her apartment.
When she pushed open the door, it was dark and quiet. "Simmons!" Daisy called quietly, shutting the door behind her and flipping a light on.
"Simmons!" She called slightly louder. "Jemma!" she said loudly pushing a door open.
"Daisy!" Jemma yelled running through the door to embrace her.
"Shush!" Daisy hissed.
Jemma ignored her, instead continuing on. "This world is so different, Hydra is in charge and Coulson never joined S.H.I.E.L.D. he's a history teacher now-"
"Jemma!" Daisy said loudly. "We can worry about that later, right now my boyfriend is outside so we don't have much time."
"Lincoln? Lincoln is here?" Jemma exclaimed excitedly.
"No-" Daisy was cut off by the feeling of a cold metal barrel digging into the back of her head.
"Skye, we need to talk." Ward said pushing the barrell into her head.
Sorry if Jemma comes across as bitchy but her whole this is fake nothing here matters attitude and her complete lack of undercover skills really rubbed me the wrong way in this arc. Her moaning about the other world to everyone she saw and complete disregard of her surroundings should have got them all killed. Jemma doesn't have memories of this world because she was dead.
