[ 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

[ 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. ]
