Maybe you should actually speak to Tony about at least getting a helmet made.

[hostage]

[...Oh, is she worried about him?]

I'm not sure how useful it'd be, unless I'm wearing the damn thing everywhere.

[morethan084]

[Duh.]

Good point.

Sorry. I just thought you were actually immortal.

[hostage]

Technically, I am. The really, really slowly regenerating kinda immortal.

[morethan084]

Well, let's just hope you never have to find out if getting shot in the head works or not.

Have you ever been shot before?

[hostage]

Oh yeah. Not as many times as I been stabbed, but yeah.

[morethan084]

Wait, what?

[hostage]

What?

[Is that really surprising?]

[morethan084]

You've been stabbed? And shot at? And stabbed some more?

[YES IT IS!]

[hostage]

Um... I mean, not to freak you out or anything, but... If somebody can do it to a human body, it's probably been done to me.

[This life, it has not let him off easy.]

[morethan084]

[Daisy doesn't say anything, she only responds with one nod as she turns her head away from him.

It's not like her life hasn't been threatened before, but she's never been stabbed at.]

I'm going to teach you self defense.

[hostage]

I don't really need it anymore, with my power.

[The leveled-up version, he means.]

[morethan084]

Yes. You do.

Just because you can heal doesn't mean you should let anyone get that close to you in the first place.

[Daisy turned her head to look at him again.]

I could easily destroy people with just my powers if I wanted to. But I can't always do that.

[hostage]

I'm not talking about my regen. I'm talking about my other power.

[He's about to freak her out some more, isn't he?]

[morethan084]

[Yep.]

...Your other power?

[hostage]

You know how I heal people, right? Taking away what's wrong with 'em?

It works in reverse, too.

[morethan084]

What? You mean like, give them pain?

[hostage]

Pain. Death. Yeah, anything.

[morethan084]

Uh. Since when?

[hostage]

Since I got back from home.

[morethan084]

Why didn't you tell me?

[hostage]

I dunno. It didn't come up, I guess. All the other shit going on...

[morethan084]

Still.

I still want to teach you.

[hostage]

Sure. If you don't think it's a waste of time.

[morethan084]

Trust me. It won't be.

Although I'm not going to go easy on you.
