I wish the idea of this came up more often, I love all the young heroes being in contact with each other. But also there's no way in hell Nico is actually on there, she dont gaf about any of them

my problem with that is i don’t believe that’s actually what we see happen

she doesn’t say “my friends need me”

she says, verbatim, “The only thing i know for certain is that you and Fitz belong together” which makes zero sense for her to say, especially if it’s supposed to be in the context of saving her friends (which include more than just those two)

for me to have taken your meaning from the show, she would’ve had to have either 1) mentioned someone other than Fitzsimmons or 2) “i know my friends need me alive right now”

You'd think that would come up more than it actually does. Especially when later on Daisy Johnson appears out of nowhere and suddenly attracts all kinds of interest i.e., making national headlines as a terrorist/vigilante and having multiple manhunts for her.

What does the government think about that? Do they think Daisy Johnson is an alias? That all the records of her that do exist (if any) are forged to hide her "real" identity?

She has, presumably, a chinese birth record In China, which the US would NOT have access to, and then Nothing aside from fake ids till Mace had to presumably pull a *Bunch* of favours, cause he wouldn't've wanted her to hack herself back *in* before she had to testify infront of congress.

Realistically, she either got handed a bunch of IDs by Mace, or they claim that her info was deleted after the Shield Leak in Winter Soldier to protect her cover, and they are remaking the documents after the hearing.

(it's technically possible her citizenship paperwork was rejected, because it probably didn't have time to be accepted before the hearing, and then not much later everything with the LMDs happened and declared her an enemy of the state and terrorist, so like, considering we All know how long government paperwork takes, its very likely her ID was still being processed when that happened and it was rejected, and they never bothered reupping cause she went to space after s5 when they otherwise might've wanted her on the books cause they tried to legitimize again. And then when they finally got back from time travel, she pretty much went right back to space.

Its actually extremely likely she *Still* isn't a citizen if the timing lined up)

The person who probably knew the most about her shitty childhood and non-existence, aside from Coulson maybe, is Ward, who wouldn't've told the rest of the team (for obvious reasons) and wasn't really able to later. Oh, and Miles, who never interacts with the team again.

Hell the unnamed other members of the rising tide probably know more about her past than anyone on the team pre S7.

Her traumatic background is kind of totally unknown, as is any real details about the rising tide by the team, again, aside from maybe Coulson.

Especially to post-Terrigenesis teammates, like any of the "Real Shield" peeps who stuck around, or Yoyo, who presumably thinks she was a standard shield agent and probably a middle class american. In fact, chew on this: when Yoyo steals her mom's bones and tells her "We didn't choose you", not only does she have no idea of daisy's backround in the foster system or homelessness, she doesn't know who's bones they are, and I don't know if she ever learns.

many a fic have assumed that Daisy's kept a copy of her records in one of her USBs, since she showed Coulson a copy of her parent search in 1x05. it's also very likely, though, that she probably doesn't have a copy, and even if she did, it probably wouldn't be accepted as valid since they're not in the system and files from cyberterrorism is generally frowned upon in the law.

i've thought before that Daisy could technically apply for refugee or asylum in the US given the Village Massacre and the SHIELD Intervention, but it's very likely that the government will jump on the possibility that Daisy is an illegal immigrant, considering the elusive yet canon president come 2017 in the MCU. add the fact that China doesn't recognize dual citizenship for those 18 and up, she'd technically be stateless. i've always thought of Daisy's registration into an American orphanage as cancelling her native citizenship, which is also probably why her Marvel Wiki page lists Chinese as her former citizenship.

HOWEVER, should these records of her existence be non-retrievable, and revisiting this subject matter once again, Daisy is technically still an American citizen, for the following reasons:
