Live fast, die young [ingrantitude]

Daisy gripped the door handle as Grant floored it. Stealing a car is not what she had in mind for the day, but there were a lot of surprises for her lately. She offered to help him hot wire it but then he just pulled out the keys and showed them to her. Sometimes she underestimated his swiftness. It was certainly up there with hers.

"You can be such a show off sometimes!" Daisy shouted against the wind.

Eyes going wide, Daisy turned her head to look out the back.

"...Are you shitting me?"

Lola was a pretty impressive car to begin with. The fact that Ward had that sort of feature on his car surprised her though. Although this was good to know should the waters turn again and once again they are on opposing teams.

"I said I was becoming a bit of a gear head." He grins, "I love this car."

He grimaces, pulling to a stop in front of a squat low brown building. He tapped the wheel.

"....SHIELD's safehouse."

"Clearly." Daisy doesn't comment any further. Even if it would've been all to easy to tease or mock him over his clear love for this car.

When they stopped at the safehouse, Daisy looked over to him briefly before she undid her seat belt..

"Where are you going to go now?"

[ingrantitude]

"My people have been hit hard by this." His eyes narrow and he looks to her, "We don't have government funding or presidential backing or avengers support."

Yet. But he won't say that. Shield needs to be removed but there's a real flicker of truth when he turns to look at her, "...They need me."

Like you used to. Like Fitz used to.

It's hard not to get irritated by what he's saying. Literally this was all his own doing, not having backing or support by others. They were the definition of a ragtag.

Daisy is, however, taken back by the look on his face and the way he really believed he was needed by people. Even if they were all just as bad as he was.

"Right. Well, try not to get blown up on the way back to wherever it is you guys are squatting now." She probably shouldn't have said that, but she also didn't feel right telling him to be safe. He made her emotionally confused, which frustrated the crap out of her.

"And when you're ready for more canon fodder to throw at the enemy so your own people don't suffer, don't hesitate to call."

His smile turned nasty, "Or Maybe we'll just show up and save your asses again."

[morethan084]

"This wasn't my idea, in case you were wondering." Daisy aims right back at him, irritated. Opening the door, Daisy steps out.

"Go take care of your people, Ward." There might be a hint of sarcasm in her tone as she closes the door a bit roughly.

[ingrantitude]

"Just Coulson's." He stays put for a moment, "...You did good. Daisy."
