Glitter & Gold (Marvel/Star Wars Crossover)

Chapter 38: Taking Down Aida For Good

Once we were back on the Zephyr, Daisy grew frustrated and angry in the landing bay before kicking a wall. "This must be Aida's payback 'cause I quaked her skinny ass out that window. She's gonna send Daisy-bot after Daisy-bot to assassinate people."

"But I don't understand why it's just you? I also pushed her out of that building." I pointed out.

Daisy hesitated, unsure of why it was just her. "There must be a reason..."

Phil shrugged. "Maybe she chose to go with Daisy due to the recent events with Nadeer? She could be adding fuel to the fire."

"Well, what's certain is Aida won't have to send anymore robots. As soon as the video of your LMD shooting Talbot in the head gets out, S.H.I.E.L.D. is dead." May informed us.

I shook my head as I grimaced. "It's worse than that. Daisy's not just S.H.I.E.L.D., but she's also an Inhuman."

May's jaw dropped. "My God, you're right. It's the same tactic Aida used in the Framework unite people in their fear of Inhumans, but instead of a Cambridge incident..."

"It's me." Daisy finished her sentence. "I'll be the monster. She wants the same fascist state that she had in the Framework. This is her plan. She's won."

"No, she hasn't. Okay, maybe today, but like Robbie said, we're part of a bigger war. This isn't the Framework. We're awake, we're unified, and frankly, pissed off enough to risk everything to stop her." Phil informed us before turning to Robbie. "I need the Darkhold."

"What? No! No one's ever reading that damn book again." May advised.

"I don't want to read it. I want to use it as bait. Aida's human now. She feels what we feel, including fear." Phil explained.

"No, I'm sorry, man. I'm taking it." Robbie protested.

"But we need it to stop her. She's terrified...she reeks of fear." I urged. "It's the main emotion I could sense from her...along with pain."

Daisy nodded. "Yeah, but she's also terrified of Robbie. You saw what happened earlier, Storm. As soon as she saw his chain flame on, she teleported out."

Phil's face lit up as he looked over at Robbie. "Is that true? Can you destroy her?"

Robbie shrugged. "Maybe, but it's like Daisy said, she won't let me anywhere near her."

"This thing in you is it as desperate to destroy Aida as we are?" Phil questioned.

Robbie nodded. "Absolutely."

"Then I have an idea that might solve all our problems." Phil replied.

At that moment Jemma, Leo, Kina, and Piecor then approached us, looking worried.

"We're running out of options." Jemma mentioned.

"We're running out of power." Piecor explained.

Leo nodded. "Yeah, and unfortunately there isn't enough power on the Zephyr to protect Mack and Yo-Yo."

"Then we'll have to go back to base." Phil advised.

"That's a terrible idea." May retorted.

"I agree. The military, Aida, more LMDs are probably waiting for us." Daisy pointed out.

"It's suicide. How do we know we won't be going into a trap?" Kina questioned.

"We don't, but I'm tired of hiding. Let's take the fight back home." Phil urged.

Phil then walked over towards Jemma and Leo. "Look, I know you two still have a lot to work out, but right now, I need you on the same page, okay?"
