*****
Daisy Johnson opened her eyes and sat up in bed. For a moment she wondered if it really had been all a dream, or more accurately a nightmare, but no, this wasn't her bed, or her apartment, and she could tell something was just off. Which to be fair could have been the result of a one night stand, although she was worried it was the program trying to affect her already.
She reminded herself this wasn't real, that it was just a virtual world which her friends had been trapped in, and it was up to her to save them. Thankfully she wouldn't be doing it alone, as she called in an old friend to help her. Someone she could trust. Someone good in a fight. Someone who was hopefully taking a shower right now, or things were about to get awkward.
Sure enough the shower was shut off and the statuesque goddess known as Bobbi Morse, a.k.a. the Mockingbird, stepped into the room wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around her and an awkward smile. The two women studied each other for a few long minutes, then mumbled excuses as Daisy turned her back to Bobbi to give her some privacy to put some clothes on.
Then she noticed something on her dressing table, which she quickly realised was a wedding ring. For a moment Daisy smiled at the idea that this version of her maybe happily married. Then she thought about who had been taking a shower in this apartment. Which to be fair could be heard jumping to conclusions, which was true. It just happened to be the right conclusions, as she turned to find Bobbi staring at a picture of them, both in wedding dresses and smiling happily.
There was a long, awkward silence, which Daisy was desperate to break, so she let out a half-hearted chuckle and quipped, "I guess we're married here."
"I guess." Bobbi mumbled softly, still staring at that photograph and marvelling at how happy she seemed holding the woman she had once called Skye.
"That isn't a problem for you, is it?" Daisy frowned, confused by Bobbi's reaction, "You never struck me as the homophobic type, and I wouldn't have figured you'd have a problem pretending to be gay, when you were willing to pretend to be a Hydra agent."
"I didn't, it's not, I'm not-" Bobbi stammered, trying to get a grip, but she didn't have to look at Daisy to know the wheels in her head were turning.
"Wait! Is that something you'd actually want?" Daisy's eyes went wide, "Like, seriously?"
Lowering her head Bobbi finally turned around and asked, "Is that a problem?"
There was a brief pause, and then Daisy laughed, "Only if you don't know about my giant crush on you."
It was Bobbi's turn for her eyes to go wide, "Your what now?"
"You seriously didn't know?" Daisy laughed again, "Bobbi, you're a superspy!"
"Yeah, well... so are you, and apparently me having feelings for you is news to you too." Bobbi pointed out, trying not to pout, "And besides, I always thought you were more into Jemma."
Daisy's face fell, "I... I liked you both. Well, honestly I still do, but Jemma seems happy with Fitz, and the last thing I want to do is hurt her. Either of them really."
Bobbi's face fell, lowering her head as she self-deprecatingly quipped, "So I'm what, your second choice?"
"No!" Daisy quickly protested.
"It's okay, I get it." Bobbi said, wishing she hadn't said anything.
"Hey, look at me." Daisy insisted, and then when Bobbi was looking at her again she told her, "I didn't know there was a choice to be had. And if there actually was one, I don't know if I could. But luckily I don't have too."
"It really is okay." Bobbi insisted, before admitting, "I had feelings for her too."
There was a brief pause, then Daisy laughed, "She can't hear us, can she?"
"I don't think so." Bobbi laughed, before grinning wickedly, "But if she can, she's just heard us both confess our love for her, so I might as well tell her that I'd totally date you both if I could."
Briefly Daisy blushed, before laughing, "Me too."
