Hail HYDRA | Skyeward

Episode 11: Bouncing Back

***

Daisy, Grant and Joey had gotten wind of a SHIELD operation Bogota, Columbia and managed to beat them there, Daisy had fake ID's for her and Joey made and Grant flew them there in the stolen Quinjet that was cloaked and SHIELD unable to trace.

"Be careful." Grant said to Daisy, spinning around in the pilot's chair once he'd landed them all safely in Columbia.

Daisy gave him a look. "These ID's are foolproof, here," she handed one to Joey who took it and then turned back to her husband. "And you're rib cage is still broken from having it crushed by Coulson on Maveth. So, really I should be telling you to be careful." Daisy then grabbed one of Grant's leather jackets and put it on, obviously it was too big for her but she was fine with that as she rolled the sleeves up anyway.

***

Daisy and Joey walked into the police station and placed their fake ID's on the desk, Joey spoke in Spanish to the man at the front desk. "Nos han notificado que el contagio alienígena puede haberse extendido aquí, que ha habido un incidente reciente./We've been notified that the alien contagion may have spread here, that there's been a recent incident."

"Conseguiré a mi supervisor./I'll get my supervisor." The man said and he walked off.

Daisy turned to Joey. "You're doing good."

"I'm not great at projecting authority. It's nice to talk Spanish, though. Reminds me of home." Joey replied.

"Do you miss it?" Daisy asked 

"Especially Sundays. Mom cooks on Sundays. And you? You have people?" Joey asked curiously.

"I have Grant," Joey nodded, seeing as he works with Grant and Daisy. "My biological parents are dead and my adoptive father was killed by SHIELD." Daisy said, shrugging, Cal wasn't dead but he didn't remember her, so he really was a good as dead.

That's when a man walks up to the two of them. "Colonel Ramon. I speak English, if it makes this easier." Ramon said.

Daisy nodded. "It does. Thank you."

"This way to my office." Ramon led Joey and Daisy down a hall and towards his office.

Daisy glanced over at Ramon. "We're following up a report. Your officers were attacked by a powered assailant?" She asked.

"Yes. We're already overwhelmed by the guns, drugs, and kidnappings, and now these things. Are they really aliens?" Ramon questioned.

Daisy and Joey stepped into Ramon's office. "It's a little bit more complicated than that. But like everyone else, there are good ones and bad ones." Daisy said to him.

"But when they are bad, we are powerless to stop them. That convoy was loaded with weapons that were supposed to help us fight whatever this is. And now weapons are gone." Ramon explained.

"But we're here. We've got a team on the ground, and we're here to help." Daisy was lying, it was just her, Joey and Grant there but it was easier to reassure Ramon by lying than admit the truth and try to explain.

Unlike the SHIELD Quinjets and scanners, Grant can see another Quinjet from SHIELD even if it's cloaked, the only reason SHIELD can't find or track his and Daisy's was because Daisy had reprogramed it, the scanner beeped and Grant looked at it, signaling that SHIELD had arrived. 

Grant frowned and checked it out, his frown deepened when he realised SHIELD had arrived and that Daisy and Joey couldn't stick around. He grabbed his phone out and went to text Daisy when he noticed she'd left it behind by mistake, so he texted Joey, hoping the two of them would get out before being caught.
