Chapter 14
"What do you mean gone?" May pipped up talking for everyone.
"The Ghost Rider was going to take it back to Hell, then it was well gone." Coulson pointed at the Latino guy, looking pissed in a corner.
"Does he know where it went?" Simmons asked looking at the guy, who Daisy now remembers Coulson telling her that she was Robbie Reyes the host for the Ghost Ridder.
"No, but suspects it's gone to its rightful owner." Everyone looked as confused as she felt 'Rightful owner' sounded like a huge cult thing that she didn't know of.
"That's as good as this right?" Some Agent asked, Piper.
“it's the opposite. The rumours that the rider tells me are not good."
He seemed to catch everyone's attention at this point and sighed before he began speaking, clearly not used to the attention.
"The Rumours come from the Witch that finds their self in Hell. Speaking of their leaders like 'Gods' while paying harshly for their crimes."
He seems to stop speaking for a moment even though the people wanted more out of him.
"The harbinger of Chaos or commonly known as the Scarlet Witch. These Witches would pray to this which. But she was nothing more than a legend and if she got hold of this boom then we are lucky to be alive."
"You said 'Gods, Legends' plural. There more one." Coulson's pushed on. Daisy hadn't even caught on to that. Her time can't be wasted on being interested in legends that's will be fake. She believed in the whole Witch thing as Wanda, according to her, is one.
"Her equal, is the next, equally in power so basically the same. The Harbinger of Darkness if you want to put it like that. Or if you were a witch it would be the Witch of Darkness, The Tenebris Witch. Instead of being Chaos they could plunge the whole world into darkness and bring Hell to earth."
Everyone was in a flurry of emotion as the rumours made their way around. They seem to be in a panic because of that beloved him.
"Why do you look completely calm." A British voice came up next to her. Hunter, she hasn't had the chance to talk to him yet.
"You don't look the type to believe this, Lance." She dragged his name out. He looked shocked that she knew his actual name.
"You don't remember that one job you did with the Hydra agent and never turned went back."
It seemed to click in his mind, "Oh it is you. Maybe if you wore a manic smile and kill everyone that you saw then I might have remembered."
She remembered that mission, the first after she was kidnapped back. She was assigned to a mercenary for a few days, but it ended in a blood bath and Hunter says she wore a manic smile the whole time.
"And I'm not freaking out because a person who could bring Hell to earth sounds even crazier than aliens falling from a portal over New York. And someone brings Chaos sounds like they already have because it seems like every country is close to war each year."
Hunter made a face of agreement as they watch the few that found the whole thing a hoax look at the believers, with their noses slightly turned up.
Pointing at May, Morse, Fitz and Mack who all looked like they needed a cup of coffee and didn't care about the news.
Simmons believed it, her trip through a space rock proved that Robbie in fact could be right. And Daisy was glad that rock was destroyed because when it did all five of the part that had been cut out of it had been turned into unusable chunks. Which destroyed the sole purpose of Hydra. So the people that blindly still follow the rules are now blatantly evil and do not want the return of a space alien.
Rolling her eyes Daisy stepped out of the room to go and wake herself up by throwing punches at the bag. May had also escaped the carnage as she found her doing Tai chi by the far back wall. She didn't look up once to see who entered the room.
They both ignored each other for an hour, Daisy had lost track of the time as she fell into a spread rhythm on punches to the bag.
"Fight me." Breaking Daisys train of thoughts.
"What?" She knew she and May would be a hard fight as they were trained to fight each other. She was trained to fight against S.H.I.E.L.D style which is to aim to knock out. While Hydria was rough and like to break bones and kill.
"I said fight me, it's easier to assess someone first-hand instead of watching."
It wasn't hard to guess that Coulson still was to know if she posed a threat to his organization.
And she had wanted to fight May when she was on the Bus because may Riveled her skills.
The two had started the spar almost with caution as they dance around each other, threatening to see how would throw the first move.
The younger had gotten bored quickly so she opened herself up for a hit. May saw this as an opportunity to throw a kick towards her stomach which Daisy sidestepped with ease.
During the next few minutes of mere dodging, they caused quite a crowd. Want to see a fight between 'The Cavalry' and the new Agent. Daisy faintly heard over the fight people charging for May. The news about her being Ex-Hydra spread quickly so it didn't mind her that people wanted to see her get beat.
Only her time on the bus caused her to memories May's fighting skill and how to wrap around it. But it was hard as May kept close to herself and use her whole body to fight.
Leading Daisy to use the space around her and hook her legs around May's sneak causes the two women to tumble to the ground. When standing back up May had used her leg to trip Daisy up, Daisy sensed that it would happen flipped away landing on both feet perfectly.
Out of breath, the two had taken a tome out to drink from the water bottle. Seeing the two stop the crowd dispersed leaving Coulson and his team left.
"You're good," May said her away as she headed to the showers. Daisy got up to follow her but Coulson caught up.
"Debriefing in thirty, till May." He was on edge, his whole body was tense it was the first time she saw him look that tense. Robbie's words must have gotten to him as well.
"You believe in that Crap, as well?" That guy was telling a bunch of stories like a boogyman.
"Language, if what Mr Reyes said is true then we need to find this book and be prepared for what's about to come next."
Rolling her eyes Daisy entered the girl's shower room to the hot steam of an already in use shower.
Ten minutes later, the two women had finished. By coincidence at the same time. May spotted Daisy's sacred body, the parts that weren't covered by the towel. It was one thing seeing it on the tapes on the files but up close and in person.
"Your staring," Daisy said breaking May away. She hadn't noticed that she was starting as she was one to keep to herself.
"Oh and debriefing in-" She tilted her head in thought, "Ah, Yes twenty minutes." Before she took her pile of clothes and into a stall to change.
May realised how much of herself she had seen in the girl before and now. Two years ago back on the bus, when she was Skye. Asking questions that May had asked before her. Even now Daisy seemed focused and headstrong like she was before Bahrain.
May has come to tuns of her actions years ago but it still haunts her, but she could help thinking how weak she must have been to crack under the pressure of one kill of a child. Yet Daisy here has probably killed multiple children and never broke.
May set herself a mission to at least break past one of Daisy's hidden walls and get to know what hides underneath sarcasm and hardness.
The two women walked to the debriding together, just in time for Coulson to start his speech.
"We need to find the location of the Darkhold. Mr Reyes here informed me that he may not even be on earth or Hell but stuck in between till its owners call it. But we will find it if ever lays on-ear-, Yes Agent Johnson."
"Do you have any leads, or even guess who these 'witches' even are?" a few chuckles at her sarcastic tone.
Feeling eyes on her, Daisy looked to find Reyes's eyes on her. Giving it no attention she went back to inspecting her chipped black nail polish.
"Mr Reyes suspects one of the new avengers, can you call her?"
She didn't want to drag Wanda into this mess, what better to be suspected as one of the most powerful beings in the universe while still morning the loss of her phone.
"Daisy, oh it's you, come to profess your undying love to my sister because I'm getting bored of her talking about you all day."
A little blush rose on Her cheek as they were on loudspeaker for S.H.I.E.L.D to listen into.
"Just give the phone to Wanda please, it's urgent and it's on found speaker,"
A loud crack went through the speakers indicating that Pietro used his powers.
"Hello, Daisy, you need me." Wanda's soft voice spoke.
"Yes, I need you to explain everything you saw when you touched the mind stone."
The line went silent for a while, only Tony shouting words in the background as a bunch of things broke.
"An old book, six stone red, green, purple, blue, yellow and orange. The world is being blown up and figures are surrounded by red and purple. But they are the important parts the rest was so confusing it would take ages to decipher."
"That was helpful, Wanda. збогом, видимо се ускоро љубави.”
"збогом"
Then the line was cut off, and as little tale made minds spin. Coulson indicated for Reyes to speak.
"The rider doesn't get infinite knowledge from hell but knows the stone are beyond anyone's powers. They probably have a name but the rider doesn't know, The figures she mentioned are more than likely these witches and possibly the world's end. is possible that your friend Wanda may be one but it's highly unlikely because the power she displayed was very weak compared to the witches."
Daisy felt a sort of anger towards Reyes for calling Wanda's ability very weak. she managed to mind control a whole city to move out, that was the definition of power.
"But you on the other hand." His eyes bore into his, from here they looked like they were little fire.
She let out a laugh as she ran a hand through the short dark hair, "Me, you think I'm a witch. Please I don't have this Chaos or Dark magic you talk about. It all sounds like a massive hoax. Of course, I managed to turn a whole city to dust but that wasn't Chaos or dark magic my powers come from an alien source"
He didn't look like he believed her, she didn't believe herself. Wanda's ability that had passed to her had changed her and her abilities, Threading red throughout her powers. All she needs is that stone to unlock them.
It didn’t matter to her tho, though she was testing the limits of what her control over all vibrations could do. Everything in the world has vibrations. She knew she could make a high pitched noise and crumble things to dust but also bust someone’s heart.
Before she left they wanted to see if she could manipulate the vibrations of the mind to have a sort of control over the person or try to invade their minds. She couldn’t try all her theories out as S.H.I.E.L.D didn’t offer many willing subjects to test them out on. The possibilities were endless.
In the words of Daniel Whitehall ‘Discovery required experimentation.”
