Fitz sighed angrily when he heard a knock on his door again, he was about to open it but Aida stopped him, ''I'll take care of this, go rest. I know this day is hard for you.'' She said in her soothing voice, earning a hesitant nod from Fitz, who left the room and headed towards the double wooden staircase.
Aida looked around, seeing that Fitz was nowhere in sight, she opened the door.
''Fitz you need to listen-'' Daisy cut herself off once she saw that standing in the doorway was not the person-thing she wanted to see.
''Leo is occupied, I need you to leave.'' Aida warned, taking a step towards Daisy in her black high heels. Daisy let out a scoff while crossing her arms to indicate that she was not going anywhere.
''I don't know if you're different in the framework...And why Fitz is with you, but I will make sure-'' Aida's louder voice made Daisy flinch a little.
''You're not taking him out of here, he stays, just like everyone else. None of them are aware that this is the framework, they think it's real.'' Aida explained and closed the door behind her, stepping fully outside. The venom in her voice was hard to miss, but Daisy remained as stiff and confident.
''So, how are you aware that this is the framework? How are you here? How do you know all this if they don't know?'' Daisy questioned, tightening her crossed arms as she was eager to find out everything.
Aida sighed, ''Because I put myself in here, I created all of this, a place where you can be happy...'' She said, her robotic voice slightly disappeared as she was drifting away into some sort of calmness. Aida snapped her eyes open, ''And I know why you are here. You're here to get them back, to make them aware, but I'm not going to let you.'' She said and grabbed Daisy by her neck without any warning.
Aida's strong grip was cutting off the amount of oxygen, Daisy gasped, trying to escape from the stiff grasp, her eyes widened once she felt her legs hover above the ground, Daisy could never imagine that Aida was programmed with so much strength.
A chocking sound escaped from Daisy's lips, she swung her leg back and then forward, hitting Aida in the stomach hardly. She didn't even budge, her grip remained even tighter around Daisy's neck, who was slowly beginning to turn purple.
Without having no other option, the young inhuman stretched out her arms, releasing a wave shock towards the robot. As soon as the waves hit Aida, she was sent sprawling across the ground and the grass, hitting the main double door of the mansion. The door behind Aida was yanked open, and a shocked Fitz was starring at them both, he knelt down in front of his fiance and a worried look laced his features, ''Are you okay? What happened?'' He questioned, his eyes fell back on Daisy, who had regained her color on her face.
Aida groaned in pain, ''She attacked me.'' Aida stated and looked at Daisy with a weak look, Fitz helped her up and lead her back inside, out of what he thought was harms way.
''I didn't attack her first, she made me attack her, I needed to defend myself!'' Daisy yelled, in attempts to justify the truth. Aida was clearly here to ensure that they all stayed put in the framework, but Daisy wasn't going to allow that.
Traces of rage formed on Fitz's face as he approached Daisy and grabbed her by the arm roughly, though she could've easily showed him off due to having the skill, she chose not to. ''Get out of here right now, I could easily call the police for assaulting my fiance but I'd rather not. Not today, today I have enough reasons to stay miserable.'' He said, and once they reached the gate, Fitz pushed Daisy out roughly and closed the large gate in front of him, a clicking sound escaped as it locked itself.
''Fitz, listen to me.'' Daisy said in a much calmer voice, but he continued to walk. Having no other option, Daisy knew that the only choice she had was to bring her up... ''Simmons would want you to listen.'' She said and he stopped still in his tracks. She could see his body twitching slightly, and though she was unable to see his face, she knew it was full of pain. She could feel it, because her face looked the same.
''I'm closer to her than you can image.'' Daisy spoke up again, Fitz looked to the ground and his shadow copied his movement.
''You know nothing about her. I don't know you, therefore you don't know her. I know everyone Simmons knows.'' Fitz said, his voice was filled with sorrow, though it remained soothing as if nothing was wrong. Daisy shook her head, ''You do know everyone that Simmons knows, but not here.'' Daisy said while taking a step towards the gate, she wrapped her arms around them for support and stared and Fitz's still figure that did not dare to look at her.
Fitz turned around, his face was pale with a disappointed look on it, ''You come into my house, hurt my fiance, then talk about my dead best friend and say stuff that even I can't understand!'' He exclaimed and placed his palm onto his face as he paced around the little gravel path, ''I don't know you, but what I do know about you is that you're a completely psychotic lady who needs help.'' He said coldly, with no emotion what so ever, '' And you don't know Simmons.'' Fitz turned around and started heading back towards his house.
''Worked at SHIELD, met you at the SHIELD academy, was a biochemist, a doctor with a PhD, smart with brown hair and often quoted Harry Potter...'' Daisy began listing everything she knew about Simmons, saying was and not is made Daisy's heart drop a little, she couldn't acknowledge that her friend was dead... but she still had to get them all back.
''A terrible liar...'' Daisy said, making Fitz stop again, he turned around, his face facing the ground.
''She was...'' Fitz admitted with a little smile, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at Daisy, and yet again, all of his emotions disappeared, ''I really don't know who you are and how you know so much about her, but you're not okay mentally, get some help.'' His Scottish accent rang in her head as he was slowly turning around again.
''You're hesitating.'' Daisy said, this time sounding more confident than before.
''What?'' Fitz asked, his voice cracking. He furrowed his eyebrows and turned his full attention towards Daisy.
''You're hesitating, you're curious.'' She said, proud of seeing that in him, and Daisy knew exactly why he was that way. She had just listed the most important things about her, the most memorable ones that only her and Fitz knew and that was the reason he was now paying attention.
Fitz nodded and looked down again, his blue eyes began shinning as the rays of orange sunshine hit his face, it was slowly setting, glowing up the sky and clouds in different evening colors. ''You got me.'' He admitted with a simple look, which quickly formed into a curious look, ''How do you know that about her, I've never told anyone that much about Simmons, not even my fiance.'' Fitz said, with pure honesty in his eyes.
''Because I've been...'' Daisy was about to tell him everything that happened in SHIELD, but she needed to get his trust first, otherwise he'd think she was psychotic again since in the framework, Fitz did not know her. ''You and me had a strong story with Simmons. I don't know half of your story with her, and you don't know half of mine...'' She said, hoping that was enough for him to say something.
''I was with Simmons for most of my-and even her life. If she knew you, I should know you too, she would've told me your half of the story with her...'' He whispered, lifting his head up, his gaze traveled up, locking in with Daisy's.
''You don't know just how much you know, Fitz.'' Daisy said again, trying to keep him as occupied as she possibly could in attempts go get something out of him.
Fitz shook his head in a mocking way, ''What the hell are you even saying. One time, I want to believe you, but then the other, you start saying stuff that I don't understand.'' He scoffed silently and kicked the gravel with his expensive shoes.
Daisy nodded in an eager manner, she wanted him to know what was going on, but she knew it was going to be difficult, ''That's right, you don't understand.'' Daisy confirmed what he had just said, ''Because you don't know what the hell you're doing here.''
He shook his head in confusion, again thinking of her as some sort of mental human being, ''here is here. Why do you keep referring to here as something weird?'' He asked, definitely having picked up her pronunciation and Daisy looked at him with some hope in her eyes. ''Because you're not where you think you are. This isn't real, Fitz, some things you knew have clearly been deleted out of your head since you can't even remember me!'' She said, pointing at herself.
Fitz just waved with his arm, having heard enough, ''Just leave now, please.'' He said, and no matter how much Daisy was protesting in attempts to get him to turn around, Fitz was not listening.
Before Fitz could take another step towards his home, Daisy yelled out, ''Where's she buried?'' Her voice broke at the question, but she wanted to see the grave, something inside of her told her that she should go. Fitz hesitated but slowly turned around, ''Why?'' He questioned with a broken look, wet patches started forming in his red eyes, he had clearly cried before. Daisy couldn't believe how broken he must had been feeling...
''I need to say goodbye...'' She whispered, allowing another small tear to drop. The engaged scientist stepped towards the gate and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket, he smeared the black ink across the paper as he wrote down the location of the grave site.
''I don't want to see you here again, and most importantly, don't mention Jemma's name, or hurt my fiance.'' Fitz warned, threat and anger lacing his tone while he walked back towards his house, where Aida was patiently waiting for him with an anxious look on her face. She moved the curtains back where they should be when she saw that her fiance was coming back in but before Aida left the window, she gave Daisy a look of warning that indicated for Daisy to stay away.
