"What kind of name is Daisy?" Tony grumps as Jarvis searches the databases for a person called Daisy born at the exact timing he got his soulmarks.

Darcy sat across him playing with her phone. "You realize we're going to be super old by the time she's legal. She's like what. Four weeks old at the moment?"

Just four weeks ago, Darcy and Tony woke up to the burning on body with two other days. For Tony, it had been Darcy and Daisy. Darcy had been easy to find because she was right there working in the Tower with Jane Foster. He had ran down and said his first words to Darcy (first words since getting his soulmark) to verify if they were soulmates. Daisy the other hand remained absent. There was no matching birth certs, no pictures of her as Tony would have expected from a newborn. They lived in the information age, how was it possible that there was not a single information about her.

Strictly speaking there was plenty of Daisy(s), just no Daisy with the correct birthday.

"Maybe you should wait to just meet her. If you are soulmates, you're guaranteed to meet her at least once in your lifetime." Steve says.

"I just hope we're not 40 when we finally meet her," grumbles Darcy. 40 for Darcy would be 60 for Tony. When he didn't get his soulmark for the longest time, he thought he was doomed to be a blank. No one took blanks seriously. There was always the underlying remark of how Blanks were inferior and Tony worked hard and upstaging those "soulmarked" every time he could.

Even though Tony was now 'happy' to be a Blank, there was an almost audible sense of relief of seeing the names on his skin.


Skye sit in the cockpit with Coulson beside her. "You're sending me away aren't you?" She shouldn't be surprised. Every time it felt like she was putting roots down, she had to leave.

"Skye-"

"It's fine. I understand."

"Skye-"

She waves him off and put on her headphones. She has had enough of the 'I really don't want to do this, but I have to for your own good' talk. It always happened when one of the foster families dumped her back at the orphanage. Even when she knew now that it wasn't really her fault that they didn't want her or anything, it was hard to shake a lifetime habit.

Skye bites back the bitterness welling up on the edge of her tongue and blasts her music. She'll go to wherever DC dumping her at and take off shortly after that. Perhaps she'd seek out her soulmates. She shakes her head. Find them then what? Skye wasn't sure if she wanted to be rejected eventually by her soulmates. If her track record was anything to go by, they'd probably get sick of her real quickly.


Tony is in pursue of a rogue super-powered being. Agent had reached out to him to track down and retrieve a super-powered human that had fled their protection. Powers to shake earth and emotionally unstable as quoted by Doctor Simmons. All the things that made her dangerous. Tony and Bruce knew that they had to bring her in without triggering anything. Her file ironically only consists of three things. Her picture, her name and a picture of an actor pointing a middle finger.

It was after persistent asking that Agent told him that Skye was a skilled hacker, a hand-to-hand combat specialist and a former agent. There was more that Agent wasn't telling him but Spy-barbie clued him in quick. Agent was protective over the girl hence why there was a very stern "don't shoot" tag on the order. Not that Tony ever listened to orders but he has to admit that the girl is very beautiful.

"Is it true you hacked SI from a laptop using free wifi?" Tony asks sardonically, landing in front of her.

Her eyes widen, pausing in mid-step then quickly backstepping away from him. Behind was Capsicle and Black Widow cutting off her retreat. "You can't let them take me in," she tells Capsicle. "I won't roll over and wag my tail for them." She sends Capsicle and Black Widow flying and then stumbles as Legolas snipes her with a tranquilizer.

Skye isn't any pushover. Tony watches her send herself flying through the air with her powers, crashing into the trees, staggering away but still moving even with that much sleepy sleep meds.

"How much is in that?" he asks Legolas.

"Enough to knock an elephant."

"Look at her run." He watches as Jarvis tracks her movement through the forest.

"Stark. Stop watching and do something." Steve barks.

He sighs and lands in front of her, cutting off her progress. "Don't make me go back, please." She begs.

Those were his words all right but why didn't tell him, why did she run? He picks her up gently, bringing her back to the quintjet where the rest of the team are waiting. "Change of plans," he tells them. He sets her carefully on the pull out stretcher, brushing a lock of hair from her face. "Head back to the Tower."


"So Daisy, you're my soulmate?," Tony says when she wakes.

"Don't ever call me that again and I'm not your soulmate."

"My handwriting on your bicep says otherwise," he pulls up his sleeve showing hers on the corresponding bicep. "You know when we bond, I figured it'd be like you on the right and Darcy on the left. Oh! Have you met Darcy? Darcy! Jarvis where's Darcy?"

"Darcy is on her way down, sir."

"I'm not your soulmate and I'm not going to bond with you." She flings the blankets off.

"Whoa whoa." He rushes between her and the door. "Hold up. Why on earth do you not want to be my soulmate? I'm fucking awesome. And Darcy? Darcy is pretty awesome too."

"Yea? But I'm not interested."

Tony could see the look in her eyes. He knows that look. It is that look that he saw in the mirror for the last forty years of his life, that look until he finally found Pepper the Avengers then Darcy. The look like someone backed along against the wall. If he lets her go now, he would never see her again. Especially if she was a skilled hacker that took the combined efforts of Jarvis and his hacking to find her protocol and track her down.

"Explain. We're your soulmates."

"I don't have the best track record. Eventually you're going to get sick of me and then you'll dump me somewhere. So you know what? I don't need you or whoever is the third."

"Daisy." Tony reaches for her arm as she brushes past.

"Don't," she shakes his hand off. "Don't call me Daisy. The one who called me that was a monster. I'm a monster too. You're better off without me."

"Skye!" He calls out.

Outside Darcy stood, flinging her arms around Skye as she stepped out. "Don't you know? Soulmates are people who are bound together by their hearts. Their souls call out for each other, intertwined forever." She takes a long breath, feeling Skye's trembling in her arms. "My mum she was like you as well when she met my dad. She didn't give him a chance. My dad never gave up on her. They are the happiest couple I've seen."

Darcy was crying into her shoulder, refusing to let go. Tony reach around his two girls, sandwiching Skye between them. He'd be damned if he waited forty years for his soulmates only to give up so easily on them.

"But I could kill you!" Skye says, struggling to get her breathing under control.

Darcy's lips twisted in response, "Honey. I doubt that. I truly doubt that."

"Hey by the way," Tony says. "I thought of a nickname for our trio. The snark squad. How's that?"

"Oh Tony, don't you know? Clint's already calling us that."
