“It sounds traumatic, Lincoln... I can’t imagine how I would feel if I were in your shoes.” Jemma took a breath. “If it’s any consolation, it is good to see you again. I bet Daisy is overjoyed to see you too.”
Her head bobbed in a nod. “Yep.” The last thing she wanted to do was get into it, but she also knew it was needed. “They flayed me alive.” Dom spat. “They kept me locked up in some kind of tube and took strips of my skin to make bands to graft onto their soldiers. That’s when it started.” She would have gone to Hank but he had been preoccupied.
Jemma listened to Neena, nodding as she spoke. “I know this must be hard for you to speak about, so thank you for trusting me to help you.” She paused, taking a small breath. “Whatever they did, they wouldn’t have done it with the intention to depower you. They needed your powers to gain access to Krakoa. They could have depowered you by accident, and there are tests I can conduct to see if that is the case... But also what could be happening is the trauma of what they did is blocking your powers. ”
Daisy noticed the way that Jemma seemed to avoid answering what she’d originally asked, but she decided not to push too much. Did Simmons even know that Daisy had quit S.H.I.E.L.D.? She wasn’t sure, but regardless things were different now. They weren’t on a team anymore and Jemma probably had some confidential information regarding the multiversal break that she couldn’t really say.
It made her a little sad when she realized just how much things had changed over the past couple of years, but she took a deep breath and smiled softly at Jemma’s offer. “As long as this girl’s night doesn’t involve alien drugs, I’m down.” She teased. Their time on Kitson had definitely been… something.
“No alien drugs, I promise.” The comment made Jemma chuckle. Kitson had certainly been an experience -- and not one she would forget anytime soon. “Although, I don’t know how my tolerance for alcohol holds up anymore. Having a five year old means going out drinking hasn’t been on the agenda in quite some time.”
Jemma didn’t like keeping secrets -- they made her feel unbelievably awkward. But it was for the best right now, she didn’t want to say or do anything to get her friend in trouble. It was a sticky situation. “Now, where do you suggest we go?”
“i spent a year traveling with my children, regrowing it after the incursions that your reality were not a part of. all that, and i’m still being taken aback every day.” susan shook her head. “please, don’t apologize. i’m just glad you’re here, dr. simmons. we need more scientists who have a slight clue about what we’re going up against.”
“I’m grateful to be here, Dr. Storm, it’s an honour to be working alongside you.” Jemma pressed her lips together, inhaling through her nose. “I only have a slight idea. Every time I think I’m coming close to understanding, I end up back where I started -- which isn’t something I’m particularly used to.”
"It's complicated... One the one hand, it has created a huge opportunity to study the multiverse for the first time... On the other, a villain is running around with a reality stone in her. It’s dangerous, but that is why we must study it and learn all we can."
it’s funny because you have so fewer characters than the rest of us heathens but you choose them and write them SO WELL, i don’t even notice! i wish timezones didn’t suck as much and we could hang out/chat more often, but i love love love writing with you and reading any of your writing, and am so glad you’ve stuck around with this group for as long as you have, love u my friend and UK dialogue consultant ! (LOL)
ILY TOO
u know what this has really made my day I have been having a rough one and this really brightened me up thank you sm <3
was leaving fitz and alya to come help S.H.I.E.L.D. again worth it?
"I miss them so dearly... Hopefully Fitz will be joining me soon and bring Alya. The discoveries that can be made with the research I am apart of are brilliant -- I just wish they were here to share it with.”

“i’m known to be lucky.” it was her whole brand, actually. neena pursed her lips, pausing for a moment before she sat. “lately, it feels like that luck’s run out. i had the unfortunate honor of turning into a living krakoan entry pass. i think they did something to me and i don’t know how to fix it.”
“So luck is your mutant ability?” Jemma said -- it was less of a question and more of a confirmation. “Can you tell me more about what happened? It will help me figure out what could have potentially happened, and give us a place to start looking.”
