[As soon as she got away from Alexander and back in her room, Daisy's on her MID. Trying to get in contact with everyone this matter pertains to.]

Uh. Do you guys know that Alexander Pierce is here?!

[madrush]

Who's that?

[abide]

Someone who shouldn't be here. [ It's vague, of course, and it's not as if Steve has ever trusted the network. So, he sends something else shortly after. ] I can give more details in person. I'm on Mero. 009.

[arcreact]

Uh, yeah? What about it?

[ Cinnamon roll still barely knows about anything post-2012. Too good, too pure. ]

[morethan084]

You mean, besides the fact that he's HYDRA?

[Bruh.]

[arcreact]

HYDRA?

...

The Secretary of Defense?

[ He sounds more exasperated than surprised. Nothing is surprising anymore. ]

[morethan084]

[He didn't- Oh. Timelines.]

Yep. Don't worry, he dies in the end.

[arcreact]

Okay, that's real comforting and all [ jesus christ ], but I'm pretty sure HYDRA's whole schtick is the 'many-headed serpent' trick.

[ And if what Sam had told him was true, and HYDRA revealed itself as being within SHIELD the whole time - it takes a lot more than capping one guy to actually deal with that mess. ]

Pierce...

[Give her a minute, American politics aren't her strong suit.]

That Pierce?

[morethan084]

Yeah. That Pierce. He's here, and I ran into him and tried to keep the look of disgust off my face long enough to make some conversation with him.

[seeingscarlet]

Did you learn anything? I don't know much about him.

[Other than HYDRA and Bad News for them.]

[morethan084]

Besides the fact that I remind him of his daughter?

[She doesn't even try to hide the look of disgust on her face.]

No. Not really. Figured I'd talk to you guys first, figure out a plan. Keep a close eye on him.

[seeingscarlet]

[Wanda rolls her eyes - ugh. Learn some better lines, HYDRA creeps.]

Please tell me they've put him somewhere he can't make things worse...

[hyperkinesia]

The Secretary of Defense? Really? [ Pause. ] Talk about a small world.

[ So yeah no, Bruce doesn't know about him either. ]

[morethan084]

Too small if you ask me.

I'd be real careful if I were you. You're the only one who's power he could really take advantage here. If he's dumb enough to try.

[hyperkinesia]

Others have tried.

[ Said dismissively, even if the warning worries him a little. ]

I wasn't aware I had to be on alert around the Secretary of Defense. Is there a story there?

[morethan084]

He planned to kill 20 million people and betrayed SHIELD.

[hyperkinesia]

What? [ Looking appropriately shocked here. ] That's— how? When? How did that even happen?

[dislocked]

Who are you?

[morethan084]

...Is this a joke?

Daisy. We met before. You scolded me. It was fun.

[It was not fun.]

[dislocked]

Because you did something stupid.

I meant, who are you working for?

[morethan084]

I don't think I did but that's not the point.

Really? HYDRA is here and you want to play twenty questions with me?

I work for S.H.I.E.L.D.

[...well, if nothing else, she's glad Daisy learned her lesson and made this one private. Though she can't begin to come up with a reason Daisy is alerting them all about a top brass of SHIELD.]

Yes, I met him. May I ask why you're bringing this to our attention?

[guess who doesn't know about HYDRA still existing?]

[morethan084]

[Daisy can't fault Peggy for not knowing out of all of them, even if she's still a tiny bit frustrated that she has to keep telling people who he is.]

Because he is HYDRA. Was HDRYA until he died anyway.

[cookshisgoose]

[The look on her face should say everything she's thinking. Which is mostly fear and denial.]

No. No, he's SHIELD. Not HYDRA.

[because HYDRA doesn't exist anymore. They were finished off, after Schmidt died.

Right?]

[morethan084]

[Daisy closes her eyes briefly in frustration. It's not like any of them really had a right to trust her, but why would she lie about someone from HYDRA being on here?]

Wish he was, but he isn't. He played everyone. Kind of what HYDRA agents are good at.
