Daisy fell to her knees panting and spitting blood. She swore softly as her body trembled and the world swayed.
"Get up," Rranik grabbed her by the back of her blue tunic. "You have to keep going.
"I literally can't and for once in my life I'm using that word correctly," Daisy ground out.
"The moment you think you can't go any longer is the moment you must learn how to do so," Rranik told her roughly.
Daisy just swayed, one arm wrapped around her side.
Even if her team was here, she was going to be dead before they made it to her.
Suddenly the air in front of her rippled and Daisy felt arms wrap around her.
She was flying through space for a split second before she hit something hard. Falling to the ground, Daisy saw Yo-Yo roll away from her, groaning on the ground.
Her heart froze in her chest as Rranik stepped toward the other inhuman.
"Where did you come from?" He tilted his head. "Didn't you know this room is fitted with inhibitors for precisely your kind? You can get in but not out. I've never seen the point until right this second." Rranik smiled mirthlessly.
Yo-Yo didn't waste any time, she flew at the trainer with fists raised.
Rranik pushed the button on his wrist and Daisy's Distressor activated, pulling a scream from her lungs as her body seized up.
Yo-Yo froze, turning to Daisy, dark eyes frantic. Rranik took advantage of the distraction and wrapped his huge arms around her throat.
"Wherever you cam from, it does not matter because you are here now. I will add you to our collection, you will make a fine fighter."
Something in Daisy snapped.
She would not let Rranik touch her friend. She would not let him do to Yo-Yo what he had done to her.
Nobody in the universe deserved that and Daisy would be damned if she let one of her teammates suffer that fate.
Her inhibitor was still off from the last fight. She had one chance to do something.
Pure panic and pure determination met as Daisy closed her eyes, reaching out with her mind to the vibrations in the room.
Everything in the universe vibrates. And everything has a resonant frequency at which it will fall apart.
Daisy turned her mind to her own inhibitor and the inhibitors in the room, searching through layer upon layer of waves for their resonant frequency.
She found it, curled in the depths of her mind.
Wrapping her soul around it, Daisy turned her energy outward and pushed the resonant frequency out of her being with everything she had.
Faintly, detachedly, she heard herself screaming but felt nothing.
Then, one final burst, and everything was silent.
Raising a shaking hand, blood dripping unnoticed from her neck and mouth, Daisy blasted Rranik against the wall with all the energy she had left.
He hit the ground and did not stir.

"Inhibitors are down," Daisy told Yo-Yo then passed out.
Coulson tried not to panic as Yo-Yo failed to reappear with Daisy.
This was the one thing he had not made a back up plan for.
Still attempting to stay under the radar, Coulson began to make his way back to the room, heart pounding in his chest.
About halfway there, he was hit with a wave of vibrations that rocked the entire center.
"Daisy." He dropped his mop and began running as the entire center exploded into chaos.
"Coulson!" Yo-Yo burst out of the room, holding the limp form of a girl.
Coulson froze as he stared at Daisy, icy fear infiltrating his veins.
Seemingly small and fragile in Yo-Yo's arms, Daisy's head lolled limply, blood running down her neck.
"Is she dead?"
He couldn't breathe.
Not Daisy. Not his Daisy, his kiddo…
"No. But she needs help. Now."
Yo-Yo's tone of voice yanked him back into action and they took off down the hall.

FitzSimmons were putting the finishing touches on the plan when the ground rocked beneath their feet.
Screams and yells followed shortly, the center exploding into chaos.
"What the hell…" Mack stared out into the hall.
"Daisy," Jemma murmured. "She did something."
"They should be coming then," Tess commented.
"I'm not sure if stealth mode is as much of a priority anymore," Fitz bit his lip, listening as the chaos above them grew louder and louder. "I think there's a revolt happening."
They waited tensely, Jemma playing with her sleeves, Mack pacing, Fitz fiddling with a bit of metal, Tess just staring.
"Time to go!" Yo-Yo burst into the space, jolting them all into motion.
"Daisy!" Jemma's hand flew to her mouth as she caught sight of her unconscious friend.
"Move now, worry later," Yo-Yo's voice was tight.
"We have a new plan. It's called get out of here before this place explodes. We don't need to worry about stealth; Daisy knocked out all the inhibitors," Coulson explained as they ran.
"Holy…" Tess's mouth fell open. "That means all the fighters with powers…"
"Now cannot be controlled and this place is going down fast," Fitz finished for her.
"We can take a garbage trawler," Jemma decided. "This way!"
"Go faster! This place is going into lockdown!" Yo-Yo yelled.
They slid into the spaceship hangar just as a hue wall crashed down behind them.
Other slaves had apparently had the same idea, chaos reigning as beings of all kinds rushed to whatever ship they could find and taking off.
"Got one!" Mack wrestled open the door of a heavy duty garbage ship. "Get in!"
They crammed in, Yo-Yo still cradling Daisy's still form.
The ship lurched, throwing them against the side, groaning as it slowly lifted off and sped up.
"We're out."
"Guys," Yo-Yo's face was streaked with tears, eyes wide with panic. "Daisy just stopped breathing."

May felt her world switch into slow motion as soon as she saw Daisy.
Jemma was barking orders, demanding tools, Mack was laying the girl down on a table as Fitz and Yo-Yo raced around trying to gather what Jemma needed.
Coulson just clutched Daisy's limp hand, his eyes glued to her still face.
May realized she was moving forward, her body reacting without her command. Her dark eyes fixed on the girl lying deathly still despite the surrounding chaos.
"Daisy." She felt as though she were choking as she took in the countless injuries occupying the body of the girl she viewed as a daughter. "Daisy."
May couldn't hear Jemma anymore, wasn't even aware of the frenzied movement of the team around her; all she could see was Daisy.
Her skin was mottled with bruises and cuts, lip split, a gash on her temple and cheek. Blood ran down the side of her face from a larger cut near her hairline and something like a chemical burn hugged the left side of her face.
Jemma was rolling up the girl's tunic, displaying an abdomen saturated in blood, dried and fresh, originating from a stab wound. She motioned Yo-Yo to put pressure on the bleeding before moving to examine the ugly twisted wound on Daisy's neck. She checked again for a pulse.
"She's undergoing cardiac arrest. Fitz, please tell me there's a defibrillator on this ship." Jemma's voice was tight with panic.
Enoch moved to procure the needed instrument.
"Daisy," May breathed, moving toward the girl's head, stroking her dark, blood soaked hair with a trembling hand. "If you can hear me, please come back to us. Come back to me. Please." She kissed Daisy's forehead before moving back to let Jemma use the defibrillator.
"Clear!"
Daisy's body jolted and somehow May found Coulson's hand, squeezing it as tightly as she could.
"Analyzing," the machine hummed.
"Clear!"
Another jolt.
May felt a tear escape down her cheek.
Please Daisy. Please. I can't lose you.
"Analyzing."
Please.
"Clear!"
Please.

"I've missed you."
Daisy blinked slowly before quickly sitting up.
"Lincoln?"
He smiled at her, caressing her cheek.
"Oh my god!" Daisy wrapped her arms around him, rocking back and forth. "I've missed you so much. So so much."
Lincoln kissed her cheek.
"Wait…" Daisy pulled back slightly, her mind starting to catch up with her. Confusion filled her as she looked around at the empty room they were in. "This isn't real."
Lincoln smiled sadly, grabbing her hands. "It isn't clear yet where you will be."
Daisy stared at him, memories pressing against the back of her mind.
She looked down at her body but found no sign of the brutal treatment at the training center.
"Am I dying?"
"Unclear," Lincoln squeezed her hand. "It might be up to you."
"Up to me?" Daisy turned away, suddenly uncertain. "Did my team reach me? I only remember Yo-Yo being there."
"I don't know," Lincoln shook his head. "I only know what you know."
Daisy ran a hand through her hair, staring into the nothingness of her surroundings. If Yo-Yo didn't succeed in getting her out, she had no desire to leave this peaceful place.
"I need to know." Frustrated she turned to Lincoln who only shrugged helplessly.
"I'm sorry, Daisy."
Daisy began to pace.
"I… I can't do it anymore. I don't have anything left," she turned to Lincoln. "You… you're here, so this isn't real. But it's better than what is happening out there."
"It's your decision," Lincoln wrapped his arms around her and she closed her eyes for a moment, taking comfort in his presence. "But you know I have to remind you that your team would never give up on." His eyes found hers.
"No matter what happens, I will find you. Coulson and I will find you and we will bring you home." May's voice was a soft whisper in her mind.
"You're right. They would never give up on me. So I can't give up on them either," Daisy said slowly.
"If you can hear this, please come back to us. To me."
Suddenly the room shook beneath them.
"Someone is trying to bring you back," Lincoln grabbed Daisy's hand. "Have you made your choice?"
"I don't know." Daisy raised a hand to touch his face. "I'm scared. I want to be here with you."
"I'm always with you," Lincoln flashed her one of his bright smiles. "In your heart."
"That is so freaking cliché," Daisy groaned.
"Hey, it's your mind," Lincoln protested.
The room jolted again.
"I have to go," Daisy murmured.
"I know."
She wrapped entwined her fingers in his hair and kissed him softly for a moment before stepping back.
"If you can hear this, please come back to us. To me."
The room jolted a third time and Skye took a deep breath, ready to return to her family.
Darkness roared to meet her and she caught one last glimpse of Lincoln before it carried her away.

Biting her lip so hard it bled, May watched as Daisy remained deathly still. A single tear ran down her cheek.
Please Daisy. Please.
"Clear!"
A jolt.
Silence.
Please.
"We've got her back!"
We are very near the end!
I'll try not to leave you hanging too long.
No question of the day, computer is about to die!
