America wasn’t a good friend. She knew that. She disappeared for months at a time without warning, she split the second things got a little too real, she was so determined not to be left that she’d leave anyone in a moment’s notice to avoid it. She was a million different things that added up to ‘shitty’ in the friendship department... but Daisy Johnson wasn’t a friend. She was family.
Daisy never seemed to hold it against her, of course. Daisy was a lot better than America deserved, always there to welcome her back as if nothing had happened at all any time she vanished, and this time was no different. In Matt’s apartment, sprawled out across his couch, it was pretty easy to pretend that nothing had changed. When Daisy spoke, America snorted, tilting her head as she narrowed her eyes at the tablet they’d set up as a makeshift TV on the coffee table. “I don’t think he’s sick,” she ventured, “I think he’s just kind of a dick.”
