The Song of Silence  || No Man’s Land || Daisy and Angela
It was just like that dream, the one Daisy had almost forgotten about.  Running through the halls, hoping someone was there, finding no one, not even a group of people who’d picked a bad time to try to throw a surprise party.  Everyone on base had just…vanished, leaving Daisy with a handful of takeout burritos.
Scratch that.  It looked like most of the world had just vanished.  There was nobody on the 24-hour news sites.  Nobody was answering their phones (although Elena’s was just going straight to voice mail anyway).  Even the secret Rising Tide chatrooms were empty, or at least silent.
Okay.  How do I hack CNN to broadcast a message? Daisy took a bite of a burrito, even though this was really no time to be eating.  But then…not everyone watched CNN.  “I’d have to be at the studio.  Not doing that again, even if I don’t have to fight my way through Hydra.  So,” she continued, “How do I get everyone who might be out there to contact me?  What do you know, you’re just a burrito,” she sighed, before it came to her.
After a little hacking, a text message went out on the emergency network, to every mobile phone that had emergency alerts enabled–This is Daisy Johnson of SHIELD.  If anyone’s out there, please contact me, followed by her phone number.
As soon as the message had crossed her phone, Angela had sent a message back to this SHIELD Agent.Â
“This is Angela Zeddemore, of the Ghostbusters Tokyo Branch. Almost everyone in Tokyo is gone. Am gearing up for what comes next.” She sends a photo of her business and one of her with her gear to prove that she’s not just some cosplayer.
“Yes!”  Someone answered!  Although the ominous ending to the message was less than heartening, the fact that she wasn’t the only person left on the entire planet made up for it, a little. Â
[text]  What do you mean, “what comes next”?  I’m completely in the dark over here, I’m working with readings I don’t understand very well on all this science stuff.  The people who would be able to translate it into normalese are missing, too.
“Wherever you are, FitzSimmons, I hope you get what’s going on better than I do.”
