[covertness]

[ laughter doesn't really translate into mental text. ]

all the time

[evite]

it felt like my brain wasn't even involved in the decision
i just knew i had to do it

[ she hasn't been emotionally compromised like this since ... well, since lincoln. if daisy was more self-aware, she might connect the dots. sadly, bobbi can't do that for her. ]

i tried to tell myself it was for the kids but i don't think it was

[covertness]

[ well, that's telling ]

if not the kids, who did you do it for?

[evite]

[ heard in the safehouse: daisy groaning as she composes and deletes a message over and over again. is she going to actually answer the question? can she lie to bobbi? does she want to lie? does she want to actually admit that this is the answer to said question?

fuck it. ]

i think i did it for illya, actually
i told myself it was for the kids, and that if something were to happen to one of us, he'd be better at protecting them
but all i could think about was him breaking his hand when he fought one of the soldiers and i just couldn't let him go out there

[ blugh, emotions ]

[covertness]

illya? tall, grumpy, russian. that illya?

[ h u h ]

why is bobbi's face so good i'm crying

[evite]

pretty sure there's only room in this city for one grumpy russian asshole
so yeah, probably the same guy

it's specifically to torture us

[covertness]

i didn't realise you two were close

[evite]

i don't know that we are
are you and thor close?

[ i mean, that's one way to obliquely tell your roommate slash friend slash pseudo big sister about the guy you've been sleeping with... ]

[covertness]

[ hell of a way to find out ]

would i beat up a drone for thor? sure [ except he doesn't know that she could, does he? ]

would i take on three una soldiers on my own for him? we're not that close and he's built like a brick house even without his powers

[evite]

technically speaking, i didn't have to beat up any drones

[ beep boop beep ]

and i didn't know there would be soldiers

[ this is all bullshit and doesn't matter; bobbi's still right. ]

[covertness]

point still stands
what did he think about you taking on three soldiers for him?

[evite]

i don't know
i actually haven't heard from him

[ he's probably mentally scarred from dragging your unconscious body to the safehouse, daisy. ]

[covertness]

let me know how it goes when you do

[ that's all bobbi, not agent morse ]

[evite]

[ she patently refuses to acknowledge the Knowing Smile that is probably peeking out from bobbi's end.
but eventually (a day or so later, really), daisy sends back a response. it comes early in the morning. ]

hey
what's the protocol on bedsharing in the hospital?

[covertness]

generally frowned on, as far as I know

[evite]

really?
whoops

[ better to beg forgiveness than ask permission, right? ]

that's a shame, because it's really comfortable

[covertness]

hear hear
so, he was happy?

[evite]

i think relieved that i wasn't dead is probably more accurate
we were supposed to play checkers but i mostly remember falling asleep on him

[ conveniently leaving out the part where she demanded he come cuddle, huh. ]

[covertness]

sounds like he cares, too

[evite]

don't you know you're not supposed to smell the stuff in your lab, bobbi

[ screaming no!!! with her hands over her ears like a child ]

[covertness]

you know better than to accuse me of that

[ no easy excuses for you daisy ]

[evite]

it's not like that
he was just worried, and i was tired

[ what is it like then???????? ]

[covertness]

makes perfect sense

[ yeah daisy what is it like then??? ]

[evite]

[ she could take bobbi's statement at face value, couldn't she? it does make sense, that's what she's trying to prove.

but she knows better. ]

i don't know what it is
we haven't talked about it

[ she hasn't known what to say ]

[covertness]

do you know what you want it to be?
