Daisy Johnson has posed:
Winter is coming...

And with that the maligned SHIELD tests for field agents, which means there's a *LOT* of time spent at the gun range for some training instead of being in much more productive places like, say, the lab. It's also ripe time to catch on some gossip.

Daisy is one such Agent, getting ready for those tests, unloading an ICER on a target before setting the weapon aside. "Alright! I will be unstoppable this year." she states with a smug little grin to her expression when she notes how many hits she got on her target, "Not even Clint will be able to surpass these."

Typical Daisy overconfidence.

Jemma Simmons has posed:
Field tests. Blah...

Jemma would, as anyone knows, much rather be in the lab than at the gun range. But, with the whole Senior agent thing, Jemma is actually one of the agents that are suppose to set a good example and do her due diligence. Which...means being out on the range. Shooting.

Again, blah...

But at least Daisy is out here, too, which means it won't be so bad. Jemma picks up her weapon and fires a couple of rounds. Which, shockingly enough, are pretty good shots. It isn't that Jemma can't shoot. She just chooses not to.

"Well, don't let him hear that. Otherwise he will trudge you out with a bow and arrow. Because of course he would."

Daisy Johnson has posed:
A laugh erupts out of Daisy at Jemma's comment, one hand on her hip and the other on the ICER. "Bow and arrow have no power here. It's all about the pew pew." well, at least Daisy sounds excited. The shots out of Jemma has Daisy peer down the range, then back at her lab friend.

"Uh ..." Another look at the score, "And we didn't even had to dress them up with a nazi uniform." everyone knows how deadly Jemma is against THOSE.

"Sooo ....." That little pause is telling on what she is going to ask next, "When is Fitz gonna join us for some training?" curiosity on her tone.

It's gossip season after all.

Jemma Simmons has posed:
Jemma blinks as she looks down at the target, then over to the score. "Well, that is certainly unexpected. I didn't think it would be that well." Granted, it wasn't as good as Daisy's (maybe), but from the reaction, no one would dare mention anything negative about those shots.

It might help that Jemma is using her own personal ICER, too. It helps to shoot well when you helped create what you are shooting, supposedly.

And, speaking of inventors...there's the Fitz question. "I really don't know, Daisy. I have not seen him outside of the lab in a while. Something has possessed him. Some idea or something. We have not gone out in public, if that is what you are looking for."

A slight smile towards Daisy betrays that yes, Jemma knows exactly what Daisy was fishing for. "Nothing terribly exciting to report on that front."

Daisy Johnson has posed:
"Keep at it like that and maybe you will be the one gunning for Clint's spot come the trials." Daisy not one to just accept Jemma's humbleness about the good shots she got. She grins at her and then sends the targets back for another round.

That gossip doesn't seem as juicy as one might expect doesn't phase Daisy. She simply arches a brow. "Wait, going out in public?" there's a chuckle at that and she teases Jemma with, "... but it's a lot more fun going out in private." followed by a wink. She's such a minx.

"Maybe I should go put some sense in his head. I am sure it'd go well." It wouldn't.

Jemma Simmons has posed:
"Clint can have his spot. I am only practicing because we have to. It doesn't necessarily mean I am just going to do the bare minimum, though." Of course Jemma doesn't just do something to get by. If she does something, she does it to the best of her ability. Plus...she has time to prepare. Jemma is always better when she has preparation.

Still, the crack about private endeavors catches Jemma off-guard. Something painfully obviously when the shot Jemma had goes wide. "P...private? You are positively incorrigible, Daisy." Because yes...Jemma knew what her friend meant.

"It won't do any bit of good. You know how Fitz gets when he is fixated on something." Well, Daisy might not...but Jemma sure does. Always better to let it ride its course.

Daisy Johnson has posed:
Of course Daisy takes the best part of Jemma's words to focus in. "Positively incorrigible? You say that as if it's a bad thing." it even has 'positive' there! She winks again and tsks as that shot goes wide. "Don't worry, all part of the training." a beat, "Stress training." a sagely nod given.

Because Daisy is that kind of friend!

"Sure, I know he can get fixed on things for months. But that's no good for him. Maybe we drag him out on a mission sometime. So he can play with the DWARFs."

Jemma Simmons has posed:
"Knowing Fitz, he will just tell you he can remote the DWARFs from anywhere and encourage to stay back in the lab." A pause. "At least he is not sleeping in there anymore."

Yes...Jemma knows Leo all too well. As well as Daisy. Taking her words out of context. "Well, I should not expect anything else than you being a tease." The one shot was wide, sure...but the next was much better as Jemma actually manages to block out the poking fun for a moment. "Stress training, indeed."

Hey, Daisy should be happy Jemma came out to shoot. There might be something to hiding out in the lab all day.
