[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. ]

Pierce...

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

That Pierce?

[morethan084]

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

[Bruh.]

[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.]

[arcreact]

HYDRA?

...

The Secretary of Defense?

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

[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.

[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. ]

[morethan084]

Yeah. I know.

[It was a bad time in Daisy's life too. Considering that's when she found out that Ward worked for HYDRA and almost killed Fitz-Simmons.]

I learned my lesson from last time so I'm not outing the guy, but, we need to do something. Pretty sure I'm the only one out of the group he wouldn't know anything about.

[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.

[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.

[dislocked]

[ What is this 20 questions thing, he's asking something anyone would normally ask. ]

You should already be smart enough to know that they can be one and the same.


[ in fact, for the longest time, they were. ]

[morethan084]

I know. We had one in our team. He almost killed a few of them.

We can't let him get the upperhand this time.

[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?

[arcreact]

What, afraid he's gonna start up 'HYDRA in Space'?

[ There's a pause while he... actually seriously considers that. ]

Y'know, I said it as a joke, but that seems like the kind of crazy thing a HYDRA agent would actually try to do.
