🦋Chapter 8: The Team Quarrel🦋

I stared at her in disbelief. What? That is not possible. My mom was not born yet. My dad was, but not my mom. Marisol and Rosalia exchanged baffled looks before turning to face me. 

"That's not possible, Daisy. My mom wasn't even born yet." I stated. 

"But your mom's name is Juliana Morrow, right?" Daisy asked.

It is. But surely, there are other women with the name Juliana Morrow. Besides, it's not like she said my mother's middle name. I scoffed. "There are other women with that name. Surely, you are mistaking--"

"Juliana Inés Morrow." Daisy answered, cutting me off.

My face fell as my heart dropped. That's her name. But how was this possible? She wouldn't be born for another year. I inhaled deeply, accepting Daisy was right. I nodded, confirming it was her. We'll have to wonder about that later. Right now we need to stop Project Insight. If my mom's killed, then I will never be born. So they're wiping us off from a young age. That is messed up and wrong.

"So they're picking us off, one by one." May pointed out.

"Not yet. This fight isn't over. If we move now, we can disable Insight before it's launch capable." I urged.

I refuse to believe that this is the end. We will stop this. I will do whatever it takes to stop this. Daniel immediately spoke up, looking worried. "Guys, I think something's wrong."

"They know we're coming, so we have to assume the Lighthouse is fortified with a battalion..." Mack added, taking over.

However, Daniel intervened, shouting out. "Guys! Is it supposed to do that?"

We followed his gaze to see the clock changing as an alarm went off. The numbers kept changing a rapid speed. I furrowed my brows. What's going on?

"Simmons, what's happening?" I inquired.

Jemma rushed over towards the keyboard in front of the screen. She quickly typed away on the keyboard. However, the timer finally stopped at twenty seconds. My heart dropped. Please tell me she can override this jump.

"We're about to jump." Jemma informed us.

"Tell me you can override it." I mentioned.

"I'm trying, but something's messed with the algorithm." Jemma said.

My breath hitched. No, how was that possible? Daisy had the same thought in mind, blurting out. "How is that possible?"

"The Chronicoms have changed plans. They're jumping early." Jemma explained as she spun around to face us.

"To when? Where are we going?" Daniel asked, raising his voice.

"I don't know! I can't control it!" Jemma exclaimed, growing frustrated.

"This is our only chance to stop Insight." I protested.

"We can't be on this ship." Mack chimed in.

All of the sudden, Elena ran out of the control room, no doubt making her way to get out of the Zephyr. However, by the time Coulson and I reached Elena in the hangar, the ship had already made the jump, causing the Zephyr to let out a violent jolt before stopping. And unfortunately, Elena was still inside, unable to stop the jump.

This wasn't the first time she froze. What was happening to her? Did the Shrike mess with her abilities?

"You tried. There's nothing else you could've done." Coulson mentioned, giving her a sympathetic look.
