Daisy Johnson has posed:
It's tactical course day at the Triskelion. Not something that the usual lab rat, or the code monkey get to do *that* often. Yet they did just get promoted a while back didn't they? And with that comes new responsibilities. Namely getting their respective behinds into shape (more!) where it comes to team leading.

Welcome to level 6! (And 5 for Ms. Daisy)

"So, I hear that ...." a pause as Daisy slides out of the way of a shot from the AR setup they have at the course, hiding behind a small cover wall, " .... McLaren has been leaving you a few more gifts..!" give it to Daisy to bring gossip up during a training course!

And it's not exactly an easy one. An incursion into an armed Hydra base who has just been alerted to their presence. Daisy is dressed in pretty much her usual uniform with just a bit of added armor (those shots hurt! Even in AR!) and a pair of yellow AR goggles that are making them 'live' the action.

Jemma Simmons has posed:
"Really, Daisy?! Now??"

Jemma...is Jemma. Or, rather, she is in the usual SHIELD tactical uniform, which is definitely black and not at all the mostly blue (with a little red) number that she has for her Secret Warrior stints. Because that is supposed to be a secret. Instead, black tact...and the yellow goggles as well, as Jemma dodges into cover. "Do you really think now is a good time to bring up something as frivolous as that?"

As far as gifts go...well, there really hasn't been that much. At least, Jemma didn't notice anything. But that could mean anything...like Jemma was too involved in research and development to notice gifts. Even if there are any.

"I would highly recommend that we concentrate on the matter at hand...." That prim English accent comes into play as Jemma lightly chastises. Gossip is fine and good...but not in the middle of a mission, even if it is simulated. What a stickler for the rules, that Jemma.

Daisy Johnson has posed:
"It's not a good time ...." Is Daisy agreeing with Jemma? For once in their lives? Sticking to the rules? She dodges out of her hidey-hole, rolling on the ground and bringing her weapon up, a few rounds of ICER being fired and taking out the assailant that was peppering their position with firepower. She moves a touch forward, finding another place to hide and can finally breathe out again, " .... it's the best time!" of course it is.

"And if you only knew who told me about it..." She teases out to her friend, a glance back over her shoulder and followed by a wink. Yes indeed, they couldn't be more different. A stickler for the rules and a born rebel. Maybe that's why they gel so well!

"Besides, this is all training until it becomes rote and we can do this while talking and thinking about something else..." See? Daisy is being thoughtful and helping in their training!

Of course that the lab that is now on high alert due to their 'break-in' doesn't think that. So yes, there are more bogeys incoming.

Jemma Simmons has posed:
A glance outward...and as Daisy moves, Jemma shifts, firing her own ICER in a quick doubletap to drop the immediate reinforcement that saw his virtual Hydra buddy drop. Which...gives Jemma enough of a moment to move up and join Daisy in the hiding spot. It does give both of them a moment to pause, as those brown eyes peer through the goggles. "And here I thought we had enough virtual reality for a lifetime..."

Comment aside, Jemma speaks to Daisy, as she continues to recon the area. "And who told you about it? I don't even know what exactly you are talking about." Innocent to a fault. She probably didn't see any of the little knick-knacks or other gifts her tech boy admirer may have left for Jemma. Of course, it wouldn't be outside of Fitz's thought process to stow away such little trinkets, too. Can't have Jemma distracted from doing SCIENCE!, as she is supposed to be doing.

Daisy Johnson has posed:
"Are you saying you wouldn't like seeing Aida again?" Daisy asks, now with her back to the cover, squatting down and taking a peek over a corner. A blast shot hits close to her head and she coils back. "... just like Stormtroopers.." they never hit! At least in the movies..., just don't watch Mandalorian. But then she returns to the matter at hand, "You were pretty epic during that fight, Trinity.." teasing again.

"And why would I give up my sources? What kind of a super spy would I be if I ratted them out?" Fitz is most likely a good suspect for having shared such with her though! Ever vigilant in the labs... But who knows!

Daisy dares another glance, "Alright, three of them. 11, 12 and 2 o'clock forward." Oooo, military talk. Fancy. She reaches for a smoke grenade, tossing it over towards the corridor and comes out of hiding, blasting away. And fully expecting Jemma to come with her!

Jemma Simmons has posed:
"Absolutely not. I certainly hope I do not see that particular face any time in the future."

Trinity and Neo...err, Jemma and Daisy sit tight for a moment or two more, as Daisy continues with the teasing. "Well, super spy, I am not sure what your sources have told you, but I have not received any sort of gifts from Agent McLaren since the TARDIS, as far as I am aware. Perhaps your sources are not as honest as they should be." A quick lean out, with a shot sent down that misses one of the Hydra goons...but does do enough to send the unnamed thug reeling backwards. "So, maybe you should check your sources."

Oh, Jemma is not going down without a fight! The smoke grenade is tossed and Jemma does a quick adjustment, sliding up a mask over her mouth and nose to keep the smoke out while she ducks into the corridor with Daisy. With one taking the left and the other taking the ride, the shots come fast and heavy as the smokescreen obscures them enough to allow the two to get down to business.

Not quite to the level of their virtual hacking, but it is apparent that Daisy and Jemma do know how to move together as a team of two.

Daisy Johnson has posed:
"Maybe you will just have to look harder..." Daisy singsongs in that infuriating manner of hers about those missing gifts. Who knows who's telling the truth?! But then there's a grenade being tossed, shots being fired. It's time to move in!

And mirroring the motion that Jemma did the mask comes to her face to protect her from the 'smoke'. It's virtual but hey, got to make it as if it was real!

Shots come out blazing, Hydra starting to get taken down. A near re-enactment of the AIDA fight. Just without the jumps and full-on powers! Trinity and Neo back on it. (with guns!)
