Forged In Hellfire

Part 1(Ch4)

Robbie throws his head back in disbelief and sighs. "Looks like this is gonna have to wait until I get back."

Emilie wraps her arms around him for a minute before he gets up to leave. While the team is away, she decides to pass the time by walking around the plane. She throws on the clothes Simmons found for her. She sees Gabe hanging out in the cargo area looking around.

"Hey," She says. "How are you feeling?"

"I don't know," he shrugs. "Why didn't he tell me he was involved in SHIELD. I'm his brother, he could trust me not to tell anyone he's a secret agent. All those times he had to go out of town I thought he was up to no good."

"I'm sure he had the best intentions."

"Yea." He pauses. "Everything we had was in that house. We had so many memories and now they're all gone."

"There not gone." She assures him. "They still in here." She says pointing to his head. "You just have to visit them often, so they don't fade away."

"You're right." He spins himself around in his new chair. "Check out my new ride. It's manual and automatic, it even has a built in Bluetooth."

"It's SHIELD, I'm surprised they don't have a levitating one." She says before leaving him to go to the lab where she finds Simmons.

"Busy?" Emilie asks.

"Always. Did you need something?" Answers Simmons.

"Just something to pass the time." She says while looking around at the lab equipment.

"Oh...I see. I guess this isn't the most recreational place for a non-shield agent. You're more than welcome to hang out here with me."

"This plane is huge." Says Emilie.

"Fitz designed it. Zephyr One, that's what he named it, is quite an improvement from our last transport airship. She can stay in the air for up to 6 weeks."

"Six?" Asks a surprised Emilie.

Simmons nods and continues looking over some research notes.

"You said you'd never gone through terrogenesis. How did you come into your powers if you don't mind me asking? Were your parents inhuman?"

"Not that I know of. There was a house fire when I was 5. I remember running down the stairs to my mom who was on the floor coughing. Smoke had filled the room. I tried to get her up, but she was so heavy. I remember sitting next to her crying for my dad to help us. It got hard to breathe...I put my head on my mom. I thought I was going to die. My dad came into the room crawling on the floor over to us. I remember him whispering 'Not your time. Not yet.' He kissed me on my forehead and when I woke, I was in an ambulance being transported to the hospital. I was told my mom had burned in the fire, but they found no remains of my dad. The doctors said I was lucky that I didn't suffer any burns and I must have had 'one hell of a guardian angel'."

"I'm sorry for asking. I'm sure it's a hard memory to relive. Fitz and I are at a crossroads as to the origin of your powers. It seems the Watchdogs know something about you that we don't and if there is anything that you can remember it would help us a lot."

"It becomes more and more blurry as time passes. But if anything sticks out, I'll be sure to let you guys know."

The team returns a few hours later. Robbie and Quake come walking into the lab.

"Oh good, you guys are back." Says Simmons. "I hope you found something useful."

"I don't know how useful what we found IS but we didn't come back empty handed." Says Quake. "I don't think we've actually met. I'm Daisy, but most people around here call me Quake." She says introducing herself.
