Pain of The Past, Hope of a Future

Chapter 8

During this time back at the base

Daisy paced back and forth for a good long hour or so before she slid into place on the couch. Two whole days and no Gwen. She was really starting to worry that she may have gone a bit too far and hard on her girlfriend. Daisy shook her head softly. She could have gone about it differently but, Gwen was reckless and really just needed to know she is cared about.

Gwen cant keep charging into danger like she did today there others who care about her and it would hurt immensely if something ever happened to her. If she thought losing Kevin was bad then she needs to know losing her would feel just as bad if not worse for the team...for her. Daisy did not want to think that it hurt too much instead she turned on the t.v and began to surf through the channels when one caught her eye. Tears started to form around her eyes as she saw what it was. A cooking show, it brought back some memories that made her want to laugh and cry at the same time.

-FLASHBACK-

Daisy kept an absolute blank look as she stared at the smoking frying pan and a very wet and sheepish Gwen. Daisy blinked at the burned mass in the pan and the smell told her that it was once eggs. Daisy took a moment to take a breath to keep herself from dissolving into a laughing fit over what she is seeing right before her. When she could lift her head and give a blank stare she lifted her eyebrow up at Gwen. So.. she draws out the word How does one burn eggs? she asked trying her hardest to not look amused as she raises one eyebrow at her girlfriend of a week. Gwen moved from one foot to the other making a nervous laugh sound. Daisy raised her other eyebrow to meet the first one and gave her an expectant look.

Gwen gave her a flustered look before saying Well...I-i was kind of...d-distracted. she says turning a bright pink color stealing glances at Daisy. The leader had a moment of confusion on what could have distracted her and then remembered what she was doing just before she smelt the burningOH she thought and hid a tiny smirk and plastered a playful scowl on her face.

Well then I better help you clean up, then stay here and make sure you are not distracted again. Also teach you how to make eggs. Daisy says as she starts the process with a very flustered Gwen trying her best to help. Poor girl Daisy honestly wasnt meaning to tease her but, opportunities to see the confident Gwen flustered dont come often. Later when that was said and done she got the eggs out and cracked them in the fry pan. She then got Gwen to grab the handle of the pan and spatula. Once Gwen is in front of the stove she gets behind her. She then presses her whole self against the now probably broken Gwen and holds her hand showing her how to make the eggs all while a tiny smirk is on her face and she is sure Gwen is about to overheat from blushing. When she feels satisfied she lets go and starts to leave. Now ya know how not to burn eggs.'' Daisy says teasingly as Gwen grumbles red faced, depositing said eggs on a plate.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

Daisy could not stop the giggle even if she tried. That is one of her best memories and it still tugged a giggle out of her each time she remembered it. She couldnt understand why she felt like crying at the same time too. happy memories are not supposed to make you cry right? who was she kidding happy memories during a sad time can make anyone cry. Daisy is heartbroken they fought even though she knows it's a natural thing to argue with those who you are close with it still hurts.

Daisy took time to both laugh and cry quietly making the team exchange concerned glances. They knew how hard it was for Daisy to be mad at Gwen for longer than an hour or anyone for that matter. Daisy can be stern and strict when it's needed but, she ever stayed mad for long. It just wasnt in Daisys nature so it concerned them greatly that she looked mad when seeing Ghost-Spider and it concerned them more that Gwen is not here.

Hey, Rayshaun says slowly with concern, you okay Daisy? he asks her as he comes to sit next to his friend. At first she didnt say anything and the man shuffled in his seat thinking he said the wrong thing.

I think so..I honestly don't know right now. I need some space...Thanks for asking. Daisy says the last part as she got up from her spot. She looked the way Gwens room is and for a second looked like she was going to go that way. Then she bit her lip, shook her head and walked toward her room. Rayshaun sighed out a breath once she left relieved that he had not crossed the line. He now wanted to help Daisy and Gwen talk to each other again; they needed to talk this out. He would easily get the others on board.
