He didn't ask you, though, did he?

[morethan084]

I don't remember.

[She's lying but she's good at it. Especially when she doesn't have to make eye contact.]

Everything is hazy from last week.

...Did you actually skinny dip?

[hostage]

[He recognizes what she's doing, but he'll allow it. He knows how much she hates his temper.]

Yeah, I - I'm pretty damn sure I did.

[morethan084]

Let's just be glad no one could actually see you then.

Although you didn't actually seem to care either.

Is that how you got all the ladies back in the day?

[Make jokes and forget murder. Right?]

[hostage]

Nah. I didn't have to work that hard back home. When you're somebody's dealer, you get as much sex as you want outta them.

[Is he joking? Is he not?]

[morethan084]

[Maybe some things were better off staying a secret. Still, she lets out a chuckle.

Squeezing his hand, Daisy moved to put her chin on his shoulder so she could look at the side of his face.]

Don't be mad at him for this, okay?

You know what it's like to have my power. You were willing to do anything to get it to stop too.

[She's not trying to piss him off. Of course she probably will anyway.]

[hostage]

[No, he's not pissed. He appreciates what she's trying to do.]

Don't worry about it. I won't do anything.

[morethan084]

[Daisy doesn't quite believe that but she won't patronize him either.]

You know that suit I came back here with?

[hostage]

Yeah? Is it your super suit?

[morethan084]

Was that a The Incredibles reference?

[Daisy raised her head to look at him, clearly amused.]

But, yeah, essentially. Fitz designed it. It helps with my powers too.

Kind of glad I got dragged back here when I was wearing it.

[hostage]

[A slight quirk of his eyebrows says yes. You caught him. He watches kids' cartoons.]

In that case, I'm glad, too. Sounds useful.

[morethan084]

[Clearly she does too if she understood it.]

What about you? You ever think of getting a super suit?

[hostage]

You wanna see me in a leotard?

[morethan084]

Possibly.

Although have you ever actually seen a real super hero wear one of those?

[hostage]

Close enough.

You want me in a super suit, I'll wear it in the bedroom. I don't think the rest of the world wants to see this.

[morethan084]

Oh, I think they do.

Besides. I don't think wearing that to the bedroom would do anything for me. Besides make me laugh uncontrollably.

[hostage]

You know, you're really not selling me on this idea like at all.

[morethan084]

Well if you just wore a leotard you would look ridiculous.

Get an actual suit. Like Iron Man.

[hostage]

Seriously? You want me in charge of a weapon of mass destruction?

[morethan084]

Not like his exactly. I just mean something other than colorful spandex.

[Daisy reached out to shove him in the arm.]

Shut up.

[hostage]

[Jesse flashes her a grin.]

You're right, though. I thought about getting myself some body armor. And a helmet.

[morethan084]

With cool gadgets attached, right?

Maybe a holster for blood viles.

[Now it's her turn to poke fun.]

[hostage]

You know, some people like my blood.

[He's teasing. He doesn't expect her to like his blood.]

[morethan084]

Yeah. If they're vampires maybe.

[Okay. Enough teasing.]

Are you serious about thinking of getting a suit?

[hostage]

[Yes, vampires. Exactly.]

Gotta shield my brain and my heart, at least. I can survive most things, but not a straight-up kill shot.
