The Framework's Silver Lining (Daisy Johnson)

Requested here on Wattpad!

Summary: When Daisy woke up in the Framework, she found her longtime best friend in the real world, Y/N, laying next to her. When she finally gets out of the Framework and is reunited with Y/N, she can't help feeling a little weird around the person she cares most about in the world.

****************

I paced back in forth in front of the tables on the Zephyr where our friends were laid out, my best friend Daisy Johnson among them. I knew I was driving Yo-Yo absolutely insane, but I couldn't bring myself to care. I was just too stressed.

She'd disappeared into the Framework what felt like forever ago, trying to get the rest of our friends the hell out of there. Life as a SHIELD agent was never easy or completely safe, but usually I could do more than just stand by and wait, completely helpless.

"Damnit, I should've gone in with her!" I finally yelled. Yo-Yo took in and then let out a long, heavy breath.

"Listen, Y/N, I know how you feel. You think I don't wanna be in there with Mack right now?" She put her hands on her hips as she stared me down. "But they need us out here. To keep them safe, and to keep the world from falling apart while they're in that horrible programmed fever dream."

I huffed, but I knew she was right. We just had to be patient, and-

"Fuck!"

I couldn't help swearing as the plane shunted to the side. I barely managed to catch myself on the edge of Daisy's table.

"What was that?" Yo-Yo demanded.

"I don't know, but I'm about to go find out."

I stormed past our handful of other agents and into the cockpit of the plane, quickly sliding into the pilot seat. Someone had finally found us, despite how hard we'd worked to hide, and now they were trying to shoot us out of the sky.

Fortunately for everyone on this plane, I wasn't going to let them.

I quickly took over the controls and maneuvered through the clouds, trying to lose the jet on our tail. I had to be at least a little careful not to jostle Daisy or Simmons too much, but at the end of the day, it was more important that we didn't get shot out of the sky.

I grit my teeth as I tried to pull up as quickly as possible. Most of our power was going to keeping Daisy and Simmons alive and in the Framework, which meant I had no weapons and almost no maneuverability OR visibility.

Shit.

I did my best to lose the person on our tail, but I wasn't at it for long before we took another hit. I tried to stay focused, but that focus immediately shattered as I heard a familiar voice shouting as none other than Daisy Johnson stormed into the room.

I whirled around and quickly looked her up and down for any sign of injury. She definitely looked beat up, but no more than when she'd gone into the Framework in the first place. I sent up a silent prayer of thanks, then returned my focus to keeping us all from getting killed.

Daisy, Yo-Yo, and Simmons rushed off to try to restore power to the plane, meaning weapons, radar, and better maneuvering, but I stayed focused on the issue in front of me. After a few tense minutes, we managed to get out of trouble. I let out a sigh of relief, then handed off the controls and made a beeline for Daisy.

"Hey, thank God you're okay," I said as soon as I saw her. I rushed towards her, throwing my arms around her as soon as she was in range. She tensed, and I immediately drew back. "You are okay, aren't you?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," she said, completely unconvincingly as she brushed me off and took a few steps back. "Just a little shaken, but not bad. I'm gonna do a few checks of the plane, see what we have to work with on our way in to the oil rig before we go save Coulson and crew."
