Blame

After hearing about Daisy attacking Fitz, Lincoln rushed down to containment. He approached her cautiously, making sure she knew he was there. She said softly, "Lincoln, what are you doing here? I- I could kill you. J- just like I killed him." Lincoln replied gently, "Daisy... Fitz isn't dead. He's hurt, yes, but he'll be okay." She snapped, "But why are you here? It's not safe for you, I could kill you in a heartbeat!" He smiled and said, "I know. But I'm here anyway, because you need a friend. I don't care what you did, Daisy. It wasn't you. You're safe now. I won't let anybody hurt you ever again." She looked like she was about to cry as she responded, "Lincoln... I killed so many people. S- so many... And I remember them all. I- I'm a monster. I don't deserve your forgiveness. Please... Just go before I hurt you too." Lincoln hugged her tightly. She fought against him at first, but finally let him hug her. She started crying. Lincoln murmured, "Poor thing. You must be so scared. I've got you. I'll never let you go. You're safe now, I promise." He kissed her on the forehead and gently put a hand on her cheek, then whispered, "I love you, Daisy. What happened isn't your fault. Nobody here blames you for any of it. You're going to be fine." She smiled weakly and he pulled her close to him, holding her.
