Chapter 15
“And another thing.” Scott yelled as the argument continued “Stop ogling my girlfriend’s ass.”
“I’m not ogling anything.” Evolt said “why would I have any interest in her.”
“I remember what happened to the last pregnant woman you encounter.”
“You’re really going to bring up the muscle headed moron? That’s ancient history for me.”
“Did that happen, yes or no.”
“That was only part of me looking for a host. I wasn’t exactly there, remember.”
“You can control your cells.”
“Not over that great a distance.”
“Bullshit…”
“Will the two of you knock it off!” Skye yelled, smacking them over the shared head.
Suddenly, a door flew off hit’s hinges and two figures burst into the building.
“Hands up! Where’s the alien?” One of them yelled
“Whatever it is, I didn’t do it!” Scott said
“You’re not… Where is he?” the second asked.
“…Rogers…” Skye said as she recognized the man
“Aunt Carol?” Scott asked, recognizing the other.
“I’m sorry, do we know you?”
“Force of habit… never mind. If you’re looking for Mr. Universe, he left because someone couldn’t keep his big mouth shut.”
“It’s your mouth two.” Evolt added aloud.
“Are you OK?” Rogers asked
“Long story.”
“You need a new line” Evolt said
“Shut up…”
“You’re the agents the director told us about?” Rogers asked, “The ones those two scientists were worried about?”
“What scientist?” Skye asked
“Oops…” Scott said.
The two turned and looked at him.
“Forget to mention something?” Daisy asked him as he began to twitch.
“…Howard sent Uncle Nick, Fitz and Jemma as backup. Fitz helped me build the driver and the suit it was attached to.”
“How could you forget to tell me something like that?” Daisy asked angrily.
“Because my first priority is you. getting you home.”
“Scott, I’m not a baby. I was doing field work for years. I lived on my own for years, I know how to take care of myself.”
“Yes, I know.” He said “But things are different now. I know what my mother said, I overheard from the kitchen.”
Daisy stood still.
“You… You know what happened?”
“Yeah. I know the damage I did to her. I know what you’re facing, and that’s why I want to be there for you as much as I can, and why I don’t want to see you risk your neck. That’s the thing about relationships. You don’t have to do it alone.”
She pulled him in close. The two just stood there for a minute, embracing.
“They usually like this?” Danvers asked Skye.
“Yeah, baby’s made things rough for them.
“I just want to go home…” Daisy complained as she and Scott let go of each other.
“We could take you back to your friends.” Rogers suggested.
“Oh, right, you’re still here.” Scott said. “Yeah, sure, the sooner we get the band back together, the better.”
