There's no instruction manual for that sort of thing. I think there was supposed to be, the way they ran things in Afterlife, but it doesn't work that way when your potential is all over the map. You can't control terrigenesis when it happens out of the blue.

( but then, her mother was less interested in teaching everyone and more interested in curating a small, devoted army. hindsight's 20/20 with that sort of thing. )

I thought about trying to put one together here, but everyone's powers are so different. It's not really something you can generalize.

Is that a suburb of New Jersey? ( daisy, please. ) No, though. Just Afterlife. Still couldn't tell you where that is, either, but I'm guessing somewhere in China for the aesthetic.

( you know, because daisy's half-chinese and it's unlikely her immortal mom wanted to pack up and leave her ancestral homeland when she had the choice. )

They're similar, at least as far as origin story and eventual upgrades go. It's tied to whatever's in our chest, they get stronger the more people get involved in this world, and they tend to mirror some aspect of the person. But beyond that... your guess is as good as mine.

( her mouth opens and closes in obvious surprise, though it's tempered by a subsequent huh and a half-smile. nice to be right, even if she was just being a shit. the niceness lasts all of a millisecond, anyway, so she's allowed to linger in it before having to shift gears. )

Yeah, I know. ( nobody likes feeling like their personal trauma is someone else's punchline. she gets it. but daisy's a firm believer in the 'pretend like it's no big deal and then it won't be one' school of thought. ) It's enough to make you need therapy.

( moving on. )

You know what your power is, though, which means it's happened for you before. Can you make it happen, or does it happen to you?

I'd ask if you want to give it a shot, but I know you don't.

( just a hunch. )

Do it anyway, though. I need to see what you're working with.

Okay.

( for a brief second, daisy just stares at him. there's a palpable energy in the air that seems to suggest daisy will offer her own hand, as if to say just touch me.

but then she has one whole moment of sense, and fishes something out of her pocket instead. a small metal disc, a miniature shield. there are small raised stars around the edges, but the center is blank. it's a work in progress.
)

Try this.

( and then she throws it at his face, because daisy's standards of training are "i watched dodgeball the movie once and it worked out okay for them". )

It's not for you to keep.

( bucky is a mystery; daisy is easier to read. there's a sharp uptick of emotion in her voice — not quite panic, but a discomfort that threads through the syllables. it's hers. he's just using it. )

Just. Ice me. Pretend I'm dying of heatstroke or something.

( she knows the concept of Stalling People By Talking, it's a good move. she's almost not annoyed by it ... but then his chest starts to glow, and she stops caring. )

If anyone here needs to stop worrying, it's not me.

( make like elsa, bucky. let it go. )
