A Part of Something Bigger

I am so sorry folks! I swore I'd update this later and before I knew it it was over a year!

"Daaaad!" Daisy marched down the stairs causing both Coulson and May to look up from their respective reading materials. Daisy slowed down and became somewhat awkward as she entered the living room and saw her parents.

"'Dad'? I thought I was 'Coulson' forever," he said passive-aggressively.

"Phil!" May berated. Daisy wanted to have a civil conversation prior to that moment but that was all gone now. She crossed her arms and stared down her father with a challenging look. Coulson sighed.

"What is it?"

Daisy stalled before speaking. "I found a hand-made Waverider replica online and I was wondering if you could take me to get it."

"From that show of yours?" Coulson enquired.

"Yes. I have the money to pay for it. It's just that it's a six-hour drive and I know you two would never let me go alone. Even though I didn't do anything to make you distrust me." Daisy added her last comment with a bit of spite.

"All six of you snuck out and into a government facility," May interjected.

"Well, we wouldn't have had to if you two were just honest with us. Anyway, if Dad's not too busy with a mission for SHIELD, will he take me?"

Coulson looked at May to get her opinion.

"It's just a road trip," May said. "Plus you'll be there."

Coulson nodded and turned to Daisy. "Yeah, I'll take you. Just get me the info and we can go hopefully over the weekend."

"Yes! Thank you!" With that Daisy was gone. Coulson dropped his book beside himself and sunk further into the couch with a sigh. May placed a hand on his arm in encouragement.

"I knew it would take time but it's been two months," Phil said.

"We lied to them for half their life," Melinda pointed out. "The betrayal they're feeling... Would you be able to get over this fast?"

"I hate it when you're right."

"We should try and talk to her. And the others."

Phil turned to look at Melinda.

"Weren't you the one that said to give them space?"

"I was. And we did. And now I'm saying that we pissed of a group of teenagers and half of them seem fine, the other half still hate us. And neither half is communicating. We agreed that in this family, communication would be key. We can't model them that if we aren't willing to communicate. They had time to digest and think and now it's time to communicate, get on the same page about how exactly they're all feeling about us. You said I'm always right. Well, this is my judgment."

"I think it was rather reckless of Eda to be putting herself on the line like that. Luz and King needed her," Daisy voiced her opinion on the latest Owl House episode she managed to watch as she and Robbie walked to class.

"Yes, but you're forgetting that she didn't see it that way," Robbie pointed out. "In her eyes, it was only a matter of time before both of them left her for their real families. It was better to potentially get arrested or lose her life than have to deal with that."

"Okay, I'll give her that."

"You wanna come over this weekend? We could watch some episodes together," Robbie suggested as they entered the classroom.
