[ is it great timing? no, but it's fitz. for fitz, daisy would stop on a dime; for this, she nearly does. she's halfway to suiting up the last of the fresh faces coming in for mission debriefs, ready to head out the door with rey and the others towards the first families on their list of compromised associates — but the message comes through, and daisy waves off a quick apology in order to duck down the hall.
as she walks, messages fire. ]
i'll figure it out. ps if you get markus hurt, i'm gonna punch you in the throat.
[ for a girl who came in with staunch anti-android sentiment, her devotion to the two is telling.
(the message isn't creepy. she saw them talking on the network, and she can see them all pow-wowing in the next room through the window.) ]
i'll leave the bag in the supply closet give me five minutes, and then go give them hell
[ again with the throat. vaguely heartwarming, though, seeing as he thought ophelia had ruined the chance of pro-android sentiment among his friends.
daisy touches on a concern of his own, however, for both markus as a friend (dear and true, who knows the reality of his situation better than anyone, perhaps) — and for the overall group dynamics, if something should ever happen to him. on a practical level, he assumes daisy johnson would be the least of his problems.
it doesn't threaten his resolve. ]
You'd have to queue for that, I imagine.
[ leopold james fitz might've have offered false promises here once (wholly believing them to be true). now, he dodges. ]
Much appreciated. Giving them hell's the least I can do. Are you ready for the old school approach?
[ they can debate the fact that daisy's stint in the framework ought to earn her a vip spot in any leopold fitz queue later. right now, her hands are a little busy pulsing glowcube magic over the mousehole itself. fitz has done good work, leaving little remaining for daisy to take on; what's left is particularly finicky, delicate work that takes all her concentration.
so he'll have to forgive her when five minutes stretches into ten, and when she has to leave the bag behind rather than deliver it to him in person. ]
bag's waiting for you, i'm heading out with rey now i'll be honest, i'd feel a lot better about this if we had the whole team here
[ she can do anything if coulson and may are the ones calling the shots. here, they're on their own. future leaders of shield testing the waters in a world where mistakes are deadly. it's terrifying. ]
[ a rush of appreciation for her help, and the time daisy made for him on this frantic day. fitz reaches the bag moments after she left, admiring her handiwork. all sorted. ]
We will. Glad you'll be with Rey. [ unlike Bobbi, going it alone. both agents are going to do his head in, when they return hurt from their respective missions. ]
[ just under an hour later, his ID flickers back on the map, and the flag at Ishani Patil's apartment turns green. ]
Me either.
[ in lieu of hello. he already did three to five stupid things today, for the record, and if he didn't have the entirety of his team behind him, he'd be dead. ]
We have her. All stable.
[ no one critically wounded, despite every pinch-point threatening to end that way. ]
[ daisy's been quiet too. from the moment she and rey brought their charges down to the first floor of the building, it's been nonstop action. but now... well, she's managed to get them to the safehouse, even if it meant splitting up from her partner in anti-crime. ]
ours too not sure about rey though but i'll let you know once i hear from her

Be careful out there.

[ an echo of a conversation, many years later. just be careful, fitz. she doesn't know what she'd do without you. ]
i'd love to see our first lady in action
snap some shots for me?

[ a final tease before they're apart. ]
See you soon.
Going offline.
[ strike team channel only. ]

[ and then the communication falls silent. if she tries to reach out, it's static; a closed line that doesn't quite connect all the way through.
but she can leave a message, even if it feels wrong. ]
okay so far
feels too quiet, though
i wouldn't want to be out here alone
