Summary: Wanted to try out something new, this is based off the As It Is song 'until I return'. Set in between season 3 and 4. Daisy and Lincoln never dated but they were close and after his death she left because she couldn't handle seeing anyone else she cared about die. Italicized lines are lines from the song.
It had been 4 months since you'd seen Daisy. She never answered your calls and you, Coulson and Mack always seemed to just miss her while trying to track her down.
One day you received an encrypted email with no return to sender or way to track where it came from but you knew it was Daisy. She asked you to meet her at the location she sent you and to not tell the others.
You were reluctant to go alone but decided you'd go anyways. You just had to see her.
The next morning you showed up to the coordinates she sent which happened to be at a park. You took a seat at a bench and waited.
Half and hour later daisy appeared and took a seat next to you.
"You showed up."
You couldn't bring yourself to look at her yet, "Did you really expect me not to?"
"I know how much I hurt you Y/N. I shouldn't have left like that but I'm spinning out of control ore than I want you to know and leaving was the only thing I knew how to do."
It was hard to stay mad at her. She had been through more shit in a few years then most people go through in a lifetime. But she was right, you were beyond hurt that she wouldn't let you try to help her through all this.
"Please come back to the base Daisy. You don't have to be apart of SHIELD again but we can work together to stop the watchdogs." You pleaded holding her hand for the first time in months.
"I can't do that. You've saved my life more times than I'd like and I have to do this on my own."
"You know we aren't gonna stop looking for you right? You're a wanted SHIELD vigilante, the new director wants 'Quake' out of the public eye."
"I know, I'm just not ready to go back yet."
You had to accept that she wasn't coming back with you, "alright, just send me an email once in a while okay."
"Deal. I still lose my way from time to time but just so you know, You're my one true north when I veer off course."
She kissed your cheek before standing up, "I have to go but thank you for meeting me."
"I should get back too before Mack and Coulson wake up and realize I'm gone. Goodbye Daisy."
"Goodbye Y/N."
