The real question was where? Where could Simmons possibly be? Daisy had no idea how large the framework was or however Aida had programmed it, but Jemma was somewhere, and Daisy told herself she'd do anything to find her.

''Think logically...'' She whispered to herself and cupped her own face in distress.

''You didn't come back last night.'' A voice that she hated came from behind her. Daisy turned around slowly, only to find Ward leaning against another tree, his tight shirt stretched out when he straightened himself and walked towards her.

Daisy had to hold back the urge to roll her eyes, ''What do you want?'' She questioned and closed her eyes, in attempts to get any ideas going.

Ward sighed, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up as soon as she felt his warm breath behind her, ''To help you, I don't know what's gotten into you, Skye, but I'm willing to help.''

Skye.

He called her that name again, Daisy pulled her long hair forward, remembering that she was still known as Skye when she had it at that length. ''I'm not Skye.'' She stated confidently, only to earn another sigh from him. Daisy was sure that Ward thought she was insane, but she didn't care as long as she herself knew that she wasn't.

''Okay,'' He took a deep breath and took a step back, ''You're whatever you want to be named, but you're still my girlfriend, we've made so many memories together, I can't let you go.'' Ward said, and Daisy heard the sudden break in his voice.

She shook her head, deciding not to answer him. He was surely different in the framework-but she just couldn't trust him that easily. ''I know you want nothing more than to kill me, Ward.'' Her tongue twisted as soon as she pronounced his name with hatred. Ward turned to her with a blank look, worry lacing his face that had started to become pale.

''I'd never want to kill you...'' He said with a shake of his head as fear lingered in his voice.

Daisy was about to throw another insult at him, but a loud sound of a gunshot stopped her from doing that. With her ears alert, she snapped her head towards the direction of the sound and saw a well shaped figure approaching her with a metal object in her hands.

It was Aida. With a gun. Daisy's mind had stopped working while her body entered the state of paralysis. She couldn't move, not a single muscle would cooperate no matter how hard she tried to move out of harms way. Aida lifted the metal pistol up once more, taking aim at Daisy.

With her eyes closed, Daisy prepared for the searing pain of a bullet piercing through her skin. It never came. Her back hit the soft grass with a thud and she groaned out before opening her heavy eyelids that she had shut tightly. Daisy found Ward on top of her body, shielding her from the incoming bullets.

He groaned out in pain as he got up, with her hand in his own, and that was when Daisy noticed that he'd been hit in the shoulder. For her.

''Is this convincing enough?'' Ward asked, attempting to mask his pained voice as he pointed at his shoulder, ''Convincing enough that I don't want to kill you and would never do anything to hurt you?''

Upon hearing that, Daisy nodded.

She could've been the one to get shot, but he took it for her. Saved her. Ward now had her trust and Daisy was sure that he was indeed different in the framework.

Not realizing that his hand was holding hers, they both ran for the nearest cover to avoid any bullets that sprayed towards them.

I hope you guys don't mind that I slowly make them trust each other more... This story should be full of feels and action! I'd be great if you could review and I promise to give you another chapter today!

Thanks a lot for reading :) Enjoying it so far? Let me know! :)
