Chapter Text
"Stupid Coulson! Stupid Mack! Why do they have to make this so hard!" Daisy thought to herself. Why couldn't they see she was protecting them?
She saw the look of sorrow on Coulson's face when she was gone. She could've gone with him. She coulda.
She shook her head as she snapped out of it. They were better off with out her. Mack and Yo-yo were getting together. FitzSimmons was finally happy. May was getting over Andrew. Their lives right now was the perfect example of why she needed to stay away. She stormed into her hotel room, registered under a fake name. She had to scrub the stupid make up of her face. She understood why her M..ay hated undercover.
She barely had time to strip down and get under the stream before her phone gave her an alert. 17 miles from where she was, was a bank robbery in progress. 37 hostages. That wasn't even the weird part though. It was a bank Daisy was scouting. HYDRA owned that bank and it was specifically hit a day before she planned on hitting it. She jumped back under the spray getting as much of the makeup and soap off as possible (and succeeding pretty well), before throwing on her suit and Gauntlets.
The ride downtown took a lot longer than it should have. A lot of people must've been rubbernecking around the bank. She decided to park about two blocks from the bank, not a lot of people around. After hacking into the blueprints she realized the only true entrance point that they didn't have blocked was through the roof. That meant one thing.
"Quake!"
"Of course. She's probably here to help the robbers."
"It's Quake!"
"Aw jeez. Someone get SHIELD on the phone."
"Danny look! It's Quake!"
"I can't believe she's here!"
"This is awesome! A real live superhero!"
Daisy smiled to herself as she flew through the air onto the roof, tucking and rolling just as Bobbi taught her. The padlock on the door was easily destroyed by a blast of vibrations. It made sneaking in very easy too. She figures that there would be an alarm of some sort that would've alerted them of her presence already.
The bank was two stories. The second story was for employees only, covered in desks. The entire middle section of the floor was empty so you could see directly into the lobby. There was no one one this floor so it allowed her an amazing vantage point. Unfortunately it didn't provide ONLY her with an amazing vantage point. She heard a whistling in her left ear and she dove out of the way at last second, the katana the man was using splitting the banister.
With little effort the robber dressed head to toe in black pulled the sword out off the wood. He swiped at her two more time before rolling under another blow, sending a pulse throwing him across the room.
"Oh well. If they hadn't heard the banister they definitely herd that." Daisy said to herself.
All of the identically dressed robbers had their rifles pointed to the ceiling at Daisy. She closed her eyes as all the rifles started vibrating until they were in pieces. She then jumped down and hit the ground rolling before getting to her feet.
"Look. It is Quake!" A few voices said at the same exact time.
The first robber charged at her, fist held high. As soon as he got close she grabbed his fist and flipped her over her shoulder using his own momentum. He hit the ground with an "oomph" as a shorter obviously female robber charged at her throwing fists. This robber knew what she was doing. Daisy dodged various kicks and punches but this chick knew that she was good. She was probably faster than May even. While the blows she was able to land were hard, May hit harder during their sparring sessions. Daisy was used to it. Finally a well placed kick to where her head would've been gave Daisy her shot. She dropped to her hands and knees, quaking the ground around them.
The woman flipped onto one hand, which Daisy promptly knocked out from under her. She stood up realizing the one with the sword and the second one she knocked down had rejoined the fight.
"Oh. This'll be fun." She said sarcastically.
For the next five minutes she was lost in a hail of feet, fists, knees, elbows and occasionally a blade. While she wasn't getting her ass kicked she hadn't stopped all the blows either. She took a few blows to the ribs and jaw. May was going to kill her for getting lax. These people were actually good. The big one was a good fighter, strong as hell too. About as strong if not stronger than one of Hive's primitives. But all she had to do was send a pulse and his arms and leg and he wasn't landing blows. The floppy one was easily the best fighter there. She moved a lot like May. But the flipping was also to her disadvantage as well. As long as Daisy was quaking the ground she wasn't getting her. The medium sized one actually fought a lot like Hunter. Maybe less dirty but similar all the same. But he wasn't getting to her. Whatever training he had was nothing compared to what May gave her. The tiny one... Well it just seemed like she was there to distract Daisy from the other ones. Almost no hand to hand skills whatsoever. Then there was the one with the blade. Daisy didn't know what the hell it was made of but it hurt. A lot. Even through her vibranium gauntlets. Now that she was close she felt some kind of humming coming from it.
Now that she noticed the blade there were other funny things she noticed. Like the fact that all of them seemed to go at her one at a time. Or the fact that there was a gun tucked into the small of the one with the swords back.
"So tell me." Daisy said as she dodged a blow to the face. As the sword guy thrust his sword at her. "Honestly. How long have you all been planning this... Captain Rogers?"
All five of them stiffened in surprise, and Daisy reversed the man's blade towards the smallest member. She thrust her hands in front of her as the blade was caught in a red mist, confirming her suspicions.
"How'd you figure it out?" Rogers asked, hesitating when he went to take his mask off.
"Don't worry, I took control of the cameras. They can't see in here." She said, looking around.
"So how if you don't mind me asking." He asked smiling. Out of the corner of her eye she saw who she assumed was Captain Wilson and Ms. Maximoff exchange confused shoulder shrugs.
"Agent Romanov's fighting style is kinda distinctive. Plus most civilians actually watch a superhero fight despite how scared they are. And they don't speak in monotone either." Daisy said with a shrug. Maximoff took her mask of and looked at the sword man sheepishly.
"I'm sorry I should've..."
"It's fine Wanda." He assured her.
"Well you seem to know our names. Mind telling us yours?" Wilson asked.
She hesitated for a second before speaking. "... Quake."
"Ok..." Sword guy said. As the rest were gathering up the rifle parts he put a finger to his ear. "Solo. You're up."
A glowing yellow circle appeared on the wall next to them, and a man in green tactical gear and mask came out. He looked around "Ready?"
Maximoff, Rogers, and Wilson all jumped through the hole when the sword guy gestured to the wall.
"Ummm not that I really care about my reputation, but what's it going to look like when I enter an active bank robbery and then disappear with the thieves?" Daisy asked, looking around at the people.
"What are you talking about? Disappearing with the crooks? You knocked them out and tied them up over here." He said leading behind a wall where 5 men were zip tied to a railing.
Before she can ask, Romanoff said, "Local members of a pedophile ring." She explained with a smile. "Wanda has it so that all the hostages remember you defeating all these guys. You're good."
"Ok." Daisy said, as she was led through the portal.
She came through the other side to a hangar about the size of Providence's hangar bay. Numerous people in black clothes with a white star and stripe symbol came over to her and started waving a black wand over her and the other.
"They're clean!" The leader said. "No trackers."
The sword guy took his mask off to reveal the Avenger and former SHIELD agent Clint Barton. "Welcome to the Chariot... Quake."
