Daisy woke up first and looked around. It was a little before sunrise. She slipped out of Natasha's arms and walked out of the room. She went into the living room and looked out of the window. She sat in a chair while quietly getting lost in thought. Daisy thought about Clint's family and his life at the moment.

Daisy thought about her own story and tears began to fall down her cheek as she realized just what she had lost when she was kidnapped. She lost the chance at a regular life. She probably would have still met Natasha but probably in a different way.

Daisy quickly wiped her eyes and hid her emotions as she felt someone stirring. She knew it wasn't Natasha since it was from another bedroom. About 5 minutes later, Laura walked down the stairs and towards the kitchen. Daisy watched her curiously. She was pretty sure that Laura had not noticed her.

After watching her for about 10 minutes Natasha walked silently down the stairs and gently hugged Daisy from behind. "Morning Daisy," Natasha said quickly to Daisy.

Laura suddenly jumped in looked at the pair. "How long have you two been there?" she asked them.

Daisy smiled weakly and says "I have been down here since a little before sunrise. Natasha just showed up."

Natasha looked at Daisy worriedly and squeezed her gently. Daisy kissed Natasha's cheek before walking over to make coffee. She always had some at the beginning of the day. Natasha just followed her over to the table.

Once Daisy had a cup of coffee in hand she looked at Laura and says "You must have questions. I can take a few at the moment since the kids are not around."

Laura nods and says "I am sorry about whatever happened to you. Both you and Nat seem like great people. One can only wonder what your life would have been like if this had not happened."

Daisy leaned back and says "Even if I had not been captured I bet I still would have met Nat. M-my mother would have trained me to defend myself since she had a lot of enemies. I doubt I would have powers but I have always been smart, have increased stamina, and increased strength. I got that from my dad. I have talked with both since Nat and I free ourselves." Daisy quickly took a large gulp of her coffee.

Natasha suddenly pulled Daisy into her lap to comfort her omega. Daisy looked at Natasha gratefully. Suddenly a very tired looking Clint down the stairs. He looked so tired. He quickly grabbed a large cup and poured a large cup of coffee for himself. Daisy watched him nervously.

Laura chuckled and says quietly "He drinks so much coffee I sometimes believe he would bleed brown."

Daisy smiled slightly hoping that Laura would not push about her family. She knew her mother had developed Alzheimer's. Whenever she had visited her she mostly didn't remember finding her. Daisy sighed and looked into her cup. She had met her sibling and her nieces and nephews a couple of times but she never felt like she fit in with them. She could tell that Clint came and sat down by his wife without looking up.

Daisy looked up at the pair and noticed that Clint probably did not sleep last night. Natasha decides to change the subject and says "Hey Daisy we should look at your wound to see if the stitches can be removed."

Daisy nods and looked at the pair and says "We will be down in a few minutes. Laura, we can continue this later."

Laura nods and watched the pair get up and walk out of sight. Clint looked at Laura curiously and asked "So what have you girls been talking about this early?"

"Daisy was telling part of her history. It seems that red room did a number on both of them. It seems like Daisy has lost a lot more, though. Her family is still alive apparently. Daisy seems to barely holding herself together. It seems like her past haunts her more now that she is in a family setting." Laura explained.
