Hey all! I'm so sorry it's been so long… Okay, two main points to address;
I'd like to give a shout out to fictionalfangirl03, who recently reviewed and got my ass back in gear on this story. Thank you!
Just a warning, I have stopped watching this show, so I can't promise how canon some of the facts will be, but I will do my best. I would also like to apologize in advance for how short this chapter is. Fear not, I am working on chapter 4 as we speak!
Daisy stilled, staring intently at the woman before them. She was crouched toward the ground, stance wide and steady. Her expression was hard and unreadable, her eyes narrowed. Lincoln had a hand out in front of Daisy, seemingly attempting to block her from view, sparks flickering on his fingertips.
"Don't make me shoot. You know I don't want to."
Lincoln scowled. "If you don't want to, then don't."
"I'm under direct orders from Coulson to fire on sight. It's only a tranquilizer, but they'll get you into custody pretty damn quick with you both being unconscious and all."
"Don't you dare shoot her." Lincoln's voice had gone cold, the barest hint of panic colouring his voice as his stance tensed. Daisy tensed as well, ready to spring.
May narrowed her eyes, glaring at Lincoln. "Give me one good reason not to."
Lincoln glanced over his shoulder at Daisy, who was still crouched low in the pile of loose hay, and she nodded minutely. He turned back toward May, his doe like eyes steady.
"She's pregnant."
May lowered her gun, surprised gaze turning on Daisy. "What?"
"I'm about two months along, and Lincoln and I don't want to raise it in a Shield facility. We're not staying. I already erased our presence from the databases, and every other file documenting our existence.
May seemed perplexed, but she kept the gun pointed toward the ground. Her eyes searched Daisy's face, and she finally lowered the gun, stance relaxing and straightening. Daisy stood slowly, one hand reaching to touch Lincoln's shoulder, the other placed over the gun at her hip. May noted the movement, and holstered her own gun. She studied the two in silence for several moments, before finally nodding. Daisy relaxed, but before she could move the sound of approaching voices alerted the three to the approach of the rest of the deployed SHIELD agents. May scowled, whipping her gun out and aiming it in the direction of the loud voices. Her eyes flicked back to the two inhumans behind her, eyes fierce.
"Don't make me regret this."
As the agents flew around the corner, into the small barnyard-esq facility, May lifted her gun.
"Run!"
Daisy spun, hand clasped tightly in Lincoln's own larger one, and sprinted in the opposite direction.
Thank you for reading! See you in the next chapter! Also, if you have any requests for directions this story should go, comment down below and let me know, I'll do my best to fulfill them!
