"Shit" Jemma mutters under her breath "Your name is Daisy Johnson…"
"I don't know that name, your lying my names Skye! Who are you and why am I in a cell, prison thing"
"I'm Jemma, do you want me to call you Skye?" Daisy nods, "Okay Skye what's the last thing you remember?"
"I remember being in my van then some government suits, shield, turned up. I don't… I can't remember anything else." Daisy shakes her head as if she's trying to remember something important but can't.
"Skye I'm going to need you to trust me"
"Trust you I just met you!"
"I've known you for three years, you work for shield one of our best agents with your own team, we helped you find your parents, Skye they told you the name they were going to name you, Daisy Johnson."
"Daisy Johnson" she whispers her own name hearing it from her own voice "I like it but how do I know you aren't lying"
"Skye look at my phone" Daisy is hesitant but accepts it from Jemma's grasp.
"This is an iPhone but bigger and slimmer where did this come from?"
"It's the iPhone 6s, turn it on" Jemma instructs
Daisy turns on the screen and then drops the phone.
"It… It said 2016 what happened? It can't be I… I… I was in 2013" Daisy starts having a panic attack, Jemma's trying to calm her down but to no success. She falls to the ground out cold.
2 hours go by and Daisy's still out, Lincoln is sitting there by her side after a long argument with Coulson.
As Daisy's eyes open Lincoln is there hoping she remembers, her eyes fall on him a hint of recognition behind her eyes.
"Lincoln?" Daisy asks in a rough voice.
"Yeah it's me, Daisy it's me" Lincoln says relieved "How are you feeling?"
"Bad what happened?"
"You…" Lincoln starts then Jemma comes in and is instantly checking over Daisy while another scientist pulls Lincoln out of the room.
"Jemma I'm fine really, just feel a little rough" Daisy states trying to get the doctor to clear her.
"Well I still need to check you over" Jemma says with a little bit of relief in her voice.
"I'm sorry for what happened I couldn't stop, but everything goes black; the last thing I remember is hurting you and Fitz," Daisy looks away from Jemma, "What happened to me after that?"
"Hey look at me," Daisy raises her head, "it's not your fault Hive's to blame. Okay."
She nods her head slightly, so Jemma continues.
"Mack shot you with an ICER we put you in vault D with the power inhibitors on, we tried; Fitz, Lincoln and I; to find a cure but the options were limited and Coulson told us the ones we came up with were a no go. We were at a loss, then Coulson decided to send Lincoln in to get info. But Lincoln didn't instead he sent a lightning bolt at you killing you then fried Hive's parasites in your brain with a high voltage shock before resuscitating you. When I got to you, you had lost 3 years of memories but it seemed to be a temporary side effect."
Daisy just stairs at Jemma before looking away a blank look in her eyes. Jemma barely hears Daisy,
"I died, and Lincoln did it?"
"He did, I'm sorry."
"but Hives sway thing… is gone?"
"I've checked you're clear" Jemma hear Daisy let out a breath of what she can only assume is relief.
"Okay, when can I get out of this bed?"
Once Daisy is given a full bill of health, her only symptoms are the withdrawal from Hive's sway. Due to the fact his parasites attacked the pleasure centres of the brain; making the victim susceptible to his influence – wanting a connection – but it's also like being doped up on drugs.
Coulson ordered Daisy be moved from vault D to one of the containment rooms made for in-humans allowing Daisy's power inhibitors to come off.
For 2 days Daisy allowed no one but Lincoln in to see her even then he had to stay in the containment module, separating herself from him.
"Daisy you need to let someone in" Lincoln suggest
"You're here aren't you!" She snaps, taking a deep breath "sorry I still don't feel myself"
"Daisy I've told you, you're going to feel different for a while it's only been 2 days, how are your symptoms today?"
"I still feel like shit, I just… I don't… I can't do this anymore. Too much shit keeps happening" Daisy falls back onto her bed, head in her hands. The voices fade as she remembers everything she did; all the people she killed without mercy.
She suddenly feels a hand on her shoulder and jumps away from the contact, moving away from the one person she's been dreading seeing.
Mack stands a good distance from her giving the space she seems to need.
"What are you … no … Leave Now!" Daisy says not wanting to look him in the eye.
Mack takes a step forward his eyes never leaving Daisy.
"Leave, for god sake. I'll hurt you … Kill you" Daisy shouts, tears falling from her eyes.
"Tremors …" Mack starts in a soft voice before Daisy interrupts him.
"No, I'm not your friend or partner so don't call me that; just leave!" She screams, but Mack is having none of it.
"Daisy come here" he says while opening his arms, getting closer to her.
"No…No" she shouts through the tears, while trying to push him away, punching out. Mack gets a hold of her upper arms and holds her close. Daisy tries to push him off but eventually gives up. He just holds her tight, letting her cry it out.
"I forgive you Daisy, I don't blame you. So please don't blame yourself" Mack whispers into Daisy's hair. He then continues to tell her she's forgiven and he doesn't blame her, while she lets the tears fall for the first time since being back on the base.
Fitz stands outside the containment room watching the exchanged he wipes a lone tear that escaped and walks away. Mack and Daisy part, Mack sits down opposite Daisy on the table while she settles on the bed.
The moment of silence are no awkward but comforting.
"I don't get it Mack, how can you forgive me after what I've done"
"Tremors yo were controlled, thinking what you were doing was right, its good that you see what happened as bad but it wasn't the person I know, the person you are. I was reminded by some one that sometimes you have to forgive people before that can start to forgive themselves."
"Thank you Mack" Daisy whispers, Mack then gets up and leaves the room
Working out her mind is a difficult thing, Daisy can still feel him there, Hive, he has no control but the remnants of his infection linger. Daisy has trouble believing people can forgive her. Sitting in a room that is stark white with nothing interesting on the walls takes a toll on the mind.
Over the next few days Jemma visits to try and get more info that Daisy might have. She has given shield everything but its still not enough. They are like her family the only people who have accepted her and yet it doesn't feel like it.
With everyone working on finding out Hives next move, Daisy is left alone for the time being. Hive as it turns out wants to kill Coulson and made himself get captured in order to get sent to their base. With ingredients to make humans, inhuman placed in a box sent to the base. People were turned, the base over run with swayed primitive in-humans – Hive free.
Lincoln has filled her in on what was happening before Hives arrival it was only now she was putting the pieces together. Being a hacker comes in handy in situations like this. Daisy programs the containment module to raise into Zephyr 1.
Hives sway was like a drug… was a drug. Your senses went on overload everything was clearer and sharper, being removed from that type of high is difficult. Daisy has been struggling but now was her ultimate test. Hive or Shield.
The doors of the module open and Daisy steps out, seeing Hive face away from her. As she makes her way towards him she gets hit over the head and collapses un-conscience.
"I don't feel a connection with her anymore" Hive says while looking down at Daisy's limp form.
"what are you going to do with her" Hellfire asks.
"Tie her up I have questions"
Daisy's head was pounding, her vision blurry as a surge of light causes her to squint. A figure stands in front of her, she cant make out who.
"Daisy, good your awake,"
She instantly knows who's there just from their cold and calculated voice.
"How?" he demands
"How what?" Hive just looks at her, his eyes boring into hers. "Oh the connection, they killed me, Lincoln fired an electric pulse through my brain killing your infection – "
"IT'S Not an infection, it's a connection all in-humans desire, like you do again." Daisy thrashes about trying to set herself free before she becomes her slave again.
Hive moves his hand in order to gain control of her head again but recoils as is he's touching fire.
"I cant! What happened?"
Daisy stops and forces shacking her restraints apart, standing ready to fight.
Hive just looks at her waiting a cold calculated look on his face. They both don't mov,e each waiting for the other to flinch.
Finally Daisy makes a move aiming to strike Hive in the face, he blocks moving round as he hits her in the gut. Daisy repositions herself and uses a combo of punches to catch in off guard, knocking him down to his knees.
He stands regaining his composure,
"Hm Grant Ward doesn't remember you fighting… Well"
For all the time since she found out Ward was Hydra she was wanted to beat him and knock him down a peg or two. Now she has her chance.
They both circle each other, the next attack Hive initiates planting his feet and hitting Daisy in the chest causing her to lose all balance and fly across the room. She stays down as he makes his way over, when he's close enough Daisy focuses and resonates Hives leg causing any bones to break.
Hive grunts in shock as his leg becomes uncontrollable he tries to remain standing but failing. This gives Daisy the opening she needs, widening her stance, she rises her arms and focuses on Hives frequency – his natural vibration – amplifying it causing his body, parasites to separate.
The body and face of Grant Ward becomes nothing but a swarm of parasites trying to stay together.
Daisy is able to control there frequency as the sworn alternates between a screaming body form and a ball of parasites by doubling her efforts Daisy is able to cause the swarm to return to Grant Ward body before blood starts to come out of his eyes and the last dying breath; the scream of Grant ward, Hive can be heard.
Two body's fall to the ground, Daisy looks at the now dead body of ward and breaths a sigh of relief. It's over. Now she can focus on rebuilding trust with her team and herself.
Daisy cant keep her eyes open the effects of the withdrawal symptoms, from hives sway are still there and she just needs to sleep.
That's exactly how Lincoln finds her when he was able to make his way through to the hanger. At first hi thinks she's dead,
"Daisy! Daisy oh god"
Finding a pulse lets him relax a little. Seeing Hive or Ward or who ever he was, dead let relief flow through him, Daisy was able to beat him saving all humans and in-humans alike.
It took Daisy nearly 12 hours to wake up but when she does her team are right there with her by her side holding her hand and soothing her when she woke, reminding her in the coming week that Ward was dead that he wasn't coming back. Helping her through her nightmares.
Now Daisy can start again, become the leader she was always meant to become; with her boyfriend; later husband Lincoln 'static' Campbell; and the shield agent who would be talked about for years to come. The first Inhuman Shield specialist; Agent Daisy 'Quake' Johnson.
