Pain of The Past, Hope of a Future

Chapter 1

Gwen slides into a chair right next to Daisy and peers at the paper she is writing on. "Ohh that's a good one." She says startling her girlfriend of two months just a little bit. Daisy had been so into her plan ideas she didn't even hear Gwen come into the base. Her cheeks turn a light shade of pink as she turns to the unmasked Ghost-Spider.

"Oh hey you. Wait, which one?" Daisy says, eyes lighting up as she turned back to the paper. Gwen pointed to the one she liked best.

"This is not only cute but super corny" Gwen says in a teasing voice as she leans close to Daisy who smirks back at her. Daisy starts to lean in to making all the signals aligned for a nice quick and sweet kiss.

If only the alert system had agreed that it was a good time for a kiss. They both sigh loudly then giggle nervously when they catch the other sighing in defeat too.

"Come on love birds, it's alert time not flirt time." Patriot says, trying not to snicker at the two.

"AWW BUT IT WAS GETTING SO CUTE!" Squirrel Girl says with a fangirl like voice. Daisy shook her head at the girl's antics then stood up.

"After?"Daisy asks Gwen as she pulls on her mask.

"Oh definitely. Wouldn't miss it soo a date." Gwen says with a wink before the mask covers her face.

"GwEN." Daisy warns playfully as they make their way to check the alert Gwen just shrugs her shoulders knowing her grin is hidden by the mask. It was just too fun to mess with her girlfriend. A button is pushed and Captain Marvel shows up and her face looks very serious.

"I wish I was calling with a better news gang but this is pretty serious." Captain Marvel says in a serious tone.

"What's wrong Captain Marvel?" Ms. Marvel asks as her voice is concerned.

"Well, this is hard to say but, Sheath escaped. We are still figuring out how. Since you all know her best I thought I would send you all out on this venture." Captain Marvel says and you could hear a pin drop in the room.

"I TRUSTED HER WITH YOU!" Ghost-Spider says taking up the whole screen, even with her face covered, her whole body was shaking with anger. "HOW COULD YOU LET HER GO??"She screams.

"Ghost-Spider." Captain Marvel says sternly her face held a frown and a look of compassion.

"NO YOU DON'T GET TO.." Ghost-Spider spun when a hand on her shoulder and looked ready to fight.

"Not now, stand down Ghost-Spider." Daisy says using all her leader's voice. The two have a quiet staring contest before Ghost-Spider stomps away. "Sorry about that." Daisy says her eyes following Ghost-Spider until she disappeared into her room.

"No, I get it, we dropped the ball on this. This is why I am giving this to your team. I believe in you guys." Captain Marvel says as she ends the call.

"Hey, you should go talk to her." Patriot says after catching Daisy's attention. "It's okay, we can plan when everyone is here." He says waving her away while the others nodded.

Daisy nodded to her team and headed towards Gwen's room. She first places her ear against the door then knocks."Hey babe, it's me, can I come in?" She says in a gentle voice. To be honest she was a tad bit afraid that Gwen in her anger would tell her to go away.

"Yea" Gwen says with her head in her knees while clutching her mask. She is still like that when Daisy comes into the room. Daisy shuts the door behind her and slowly makes her way to the bed. She sits down and reaches towards Gwen then pulls her hand back.

"I am sorry." Daisy says softly looking down as guilt flooded into her mind. She should not have done that to Gwen in front of Captain Marvel.

"What? Why? I mean I was kind of out of line but, I had a right to be. You just kept me from doing something stupid." Gwen mutters into her knees. Daisy sighs in relief and slowly pulls the smaller girl into her lap and holds her. Gwen breaks down and starts crying a little then stops. "Thank you." She says slowly, pulling away from Daisy.

"We will get her, me and you okay?" Daisy says while Gwen is looking down. Daisy slowly lifts her chin "Look at me. We will get her." She says letting Gwen see the fierceness and determination in her eyes. Gwen wraps her in a tight hug. They hug each other for a while before Gwen breaks the hug and stands up helping Daisy get up then kisses her cheek.

"Thank you. I am just going to take a nap. Come get me when we are leaving okay?" Gwen says gently walking Daisy to her door. Daisy nods then gives her a quick kiss before she is out the door.
