The Plan
“Alright the plan goes as followed,” you explained as you drove, “I’ve been tracking King T’Challa’s purchases and tapping his phone calls, illegally I mind you, in order to find out where Captain Rogers and Sergeant Barnes disappeared to after the events of the fight with Mr. Stark. I managed to pinpoint the location of his secret lab in the middle of the Wakandan jungle that he runs privately, through the government, using satellite imagery of the country. I figure that’s a good place to keep some known fugitives and a cryostasis lab.” you explained.
“So Sergeant Barnes and Cap are in Wakanda with King T’Challa providing them a place to stay. That sounds easy to break into.” she said sarcastically.
“Gosh Jemma, we’re not gonna break in! We have to be careful, breaking in isn’t careful, and I can’t take on the Black Panther and Captain America and possibly the Winter Soldier at the same time. Once we get to Wakanda I’m going to hack into the compound security system and make an anonymous phone call to the Captain asking him to meet, that’s where you and me will explain what we have to offer. And if that doesn’t work, then I’ll show him what I can do and we’ll run somewhere safe.” you said hopefully.
“Brilliant plan Daisy, I’m sure we’ll survive.” she said grimly. You had to admit, it did sound like the odds were definitely not in your favor, but by this point it was too late to turn back.
You were still about two hours out so you told Jemma to get some sleep while you drove into the city, to which she happily obliged.
When you saw the signs for New York City start to come into view and you could see the skyline you woke her up to help you navigate, you hadn’t been back in your home since you left with Coulson that first day S.H.I.E.L.D. picked you up. Seeing your awe Jemma starting retelling stories of the team when you first joined, remembering fun memories of some of your first missions together and how simple things seemed back then. Sometimes it’s good to remember the fun times, as if they were still happening, but once you got near the alley where your van was parked you and Simmons started focusing on the plan and how you planned on creating new identities for yourselves.
You found your van right where you had left it, a little dusty, but not too ruffed up, knowing that few people ever frequent this alley, due to the “No Trespassing” signs that you’d put up. Unlocking the van, you opened the door to find everything where you’d left it, and got to work erasing Jemma’s identity and creating new ones for yourselves.
Trying to get into Wakanda means that you’ll automatically be looked upon as a threat, due to the nature of your trip, which you decided to put as business made it a little bit easier, however there was still a chance they could find Jemma’s old identity, which is why you had to delete it all. From her birth certificate to all of the news articles and every picture she’s ever posted, all of it had to go.
All of it had to go onto a flash drive.
You’d been in the habit of deleting people’s identities for money when you were a kid, but sometimes people didn’t pull through like you’d hope, so you started saving all of their information on flash drives, that way if they didn’t pay, they’d still exist, and if they did they had a way to find old connections. Your flash drive was still in your van so you grabbed it and handed Jemma her, which she tucked safely away in her boot heel compartment, just like you had. You decided you’d use plastic flash drives that you had purchased specifically for a moment like this, that way when you walked through the metal detector at the airport, it wouldn’t register. Technology is amazing.
Once you’d purchased the plane tickets and registered a fake job interview for the pair of you at a small lab researching rare flora and fauna, Simmons assuring you she could keep up with the jargon, the two of you headed about an hour South to Newark airport across state borders in New Jersey. You readied your fake passports and headed through Customs. You weren’t worried about leaving the States, generally people didn’t have a problem with that, it was getting into Wakanda that worried you. You looked everywhere, okay not everywhere, but a lot of places, namely Google, but you couldn’t find any information about the security at Wakandan airports or how difficult it is to get into the country.
