I woke up to everyone yelling in the living room.

"Before I get myself into anything, what's the problem this time, JARVIS?" I asked, throwing the covers off me.

"The usual, Ms. Danielle. The agents are gone but Mr. Stark, Mrs. Potts, and Director Fury are arguing over you and Agent Ward." JARVIS replied.

"Oh perfect. Let's go join the fun, Danielle." I muttered before leaving my bedroom. Everyone immediately stopped talking when I got to the living room. "Hey. I want in on the arguing."

"No you don't, Danielle. Go back to bed." Dad pointed to my room.

"It's almost two in the morning, baby. Go to bed." Mom said a little softer than dad had.

"What's wrong this time?" I shook my head, looking to Fury.

"I believe that someone else was in that cell with you, someone that you know." He replied.

"Well I know Justin Hammer, I know Ian Quinn, I know Loki, I know Johann Schmidt and boy is he ugly as a donkey butt." I laughed a little. "And I know John Garrett now, personally."

"No. Someone else. A certain SHIELD agent you've taken to within the past few months." Fury crossed his arms.

"Oh no, Fury. Not Grant. He wouldn't do that to me." I shook my head. "No. He's not like that-"

"John Garrett is a sadistic narcissist who was Agent Grant Ward's Supervising Officer for over fifteen years. I don't believe you know who Grant Ward is, Danielle."

"No. He's- He's not sadistic. He loves me!" I screamed, panicking already. I put a hand on my head and started balling it up in a tight fist.

"Calm down, Danielle." Dad said quietly.

"No. Grant loves me. You don't know what you're talking about." I was breathing heavily and my eyes wouldn't focus in on anything.

"Danielle." Mom stopped me from moving and held my face in her hands. "Honey. Come on." She led me back to my room.

"No, mom. Grant loves me. He does." I repeatedly whispered as we got into my bed. Mom leaned against the head of the bed as she brushed her hand through my hair. I laid down on my bed, my head almost half way in her lap. "He does love me, mom."

"I know, honey. Just try to get some sleep." She murmured.

"Can you stay with me?" I asked. Then her phone rang. "Who the hell would be calling you at two in the morning?"

"Well. A few company men from China." Mom sighed. "I'll send dad in."

"Thanks."

"I'll come stay with you some other night, baby. I love you." Mom kissed my forehead.

"Love you too, momma." I hugged her before she left. Dad came in a few minutes later. He took mom's spot. Dad ran his fingers through my hair, just like mom did. There was nothing but the sounds of cars below for a while.

"Danielle? You know I love you, right?" Dad whispered, looking down to me.

"Of course. I love you too, dad." I put my hand below his knee. My cheek was against his thigh. "What's wrong?"

"Is it true? That you cried for me while you were in that cell?"

"Yes." I whispered. "But that doesn't matter."

"Yes it does, Dani. I'm your father. I'm supposed to protect you."

"And you've done an amazing job, dad. With being Iron Man and Tony Stark, you've done an amazing job with protecting me and raising me. Things happen sometimes. But you shouldn't blame yourself. You're the best dad in the world, Anthony Edward Stark." I smiled and held his hand.

"Next time you call me by my full name, I'm gonna hurt you, sweetie." Dad chuckled a little.

"I love you." I giggled.

"Go to sleep, crazy. I'll be here when you wake up."

"Night, daddy." I turned my body the other way, so I was facing him, and closed my eyes.

"Night, sweetie."

And dad kept his promise. He was there when I woke up. Actually, he was laying with an arm across my belly and his head on my shoulder. I rang fingers through his fluffy grayish dark hair.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty."

"Mmm. Morning." He chuckled and opened his eyes. Mom walked into the room and leaning against the doorway.

"Good morning." She smiled, looking at us.

"When did you get to bed, Pep?" Dad asked, sitting up.

"Oh a few hours ago. But you weren't there so I didn't sleep long." Mom shrugged.

"Well.... Then...." Dad looked around the room. "I want bacon. JARVIS."

"Right away, sir." JARVIS replied. Dad ruffled my hair before leaving with mom. I laughed a little and got a shower.

Afyerwards, I put on a pair of short dark jean shorts and a gray hoodie. I did my hair and put it in a messy braided bun before going to the living room. Skye, May, Fitz-Simmons, and Phil were all in the living room, but not Grant.

"Hey guys." I smiled. "Where's Grant?"

"That's why we're here, Danielle." Phil walked over to me. "He's been taken under SHIELD custody as a possible accessory to your kidnapping."

"Phil. You don't believe that Grant would do anything to hurt me, do you?" I asked, still not believing it.

"Honestly, Danielle.... Ward is Garrett's SO. An SO has a major impact on a training SHIELD agent."

"But Grant's my SO and he didn't have that much of an impact on me."

"Yes he did. You two became a couple." May nodded.

"But- but he wouldn't hurt me." I shook my head and whispered.

"Danielle? Come with us." Fury walked into the living room.

"Wait. No. Where's mom and dad?" I asked, looking around.

"Already at the base. Come on. We have work to do." Fury said.

I found myself sitting in an interrogation room at the base in NYC. I knew my parents were on the other side of the glass two way window. Phil was probably with them. There was a machine with three green dots repeatedly running across the little bar thing.

"Danielle?" Fury walked into the room. "I want you to follow these three dots and think of when you were locked away in the cell."

"Fury. I-I can't." I shook my head, my eyes watering already.

"Yes you can, Danielle. You're strong enough to." That was a surprise. Fury was serious. He thought Grant would hurt me. "Think of when you were in the cell and Garrett was with you. Who else was in there?"

As I followed the dots, the images started coming back, then it turned to where it felt like I was actually in the room.

I saw Garrett kneeling down in front of my half way unconscious body. I was bleeding from my nose and my head.

"Come on, John. Let her go. She won't even know what happened." Someone said. His voice was muffled but I had an idea of who it was.

"No. She's fine. She's young. It'll only leave physiological wounds. Nothing much." Garrett shrugged, running the blade of the knife over my temple just lightly.

"John." Grant's voice cracked. Oh my god.

"She's a weakness, Grant. And weaknesses always get you dead."

"Danielle? What do you see?" Fury asked.

"Grant."
