Mission debrief

Jemma heard Daisy whimpering quietly as the quinjet landed smoothly in the hangar.

"Stay close, Daisy, and let me do the talking."

"Well, obviously!" Daisy squeaked, but her friend wasn't listening. Jemma had gathered together her data and was already exiting the cockpit.

The naked girl squeezed herself tighter still when she saw someone waiting for them at the bottom of the ramp.

"Agent Simmons, Agent May would like you to debrief with her immediately. Is Agent Johnson with you?"

Jemma was interested to know how her colleague would react if she told him that Daisy was invisible and wearing nothing, but instead, simply told him: "That's classified."

Daisy padded quickly after Simmons, hoping her bare feet weren't making too much noise on the hard floor and feeling more embarrassed than ever. It hadn't been so bad when she had been in the company of just Jemma; now there were loads of people around!

The nude girl was so flustered and distracted that she didn't notice Jemma silently requesting props to be sent ahead to their meeting...

Melinda May checked her watch at the knock on the door and the appearance of Jemma Simmons...right on time, as always. Almost as predictably, Agent Johnson looked to be running late.

"Thanks for getting her promptly, Simmons," May said monotonously. "I trust your mission was a success."

"Oh, yes!" Simmons replied enthusiastically. "This changes everything!" she gestured at her notes.

"And where is Agent Johnson? Does that have anything to do with it?" May raised her eyebrows and indicating the bucket of water which had been delivered only minutes previously, ice cubes still frozen and bobbing on the surface.

"Absolutely!" Jemma beamed. "You see, Daisy isn't late. She's here with us now. Right...here!"

Quick as a flash, Simmons picked up the bucket and threw its contents towards the door. But rather than splashing onto the floor, the water cascaded over an invisible figure!

"Ah! Jemma, what the hell?!" the patch of thin air yelled in Daisy's voice.

"Daisy?" May asked, confused.

"Yes!" Jemma cried. "Daisy managed to turn herself invisible!"

May continued to study the floating water droplets and sure enough, she could make out the outline of an arm, shoulders, a pair of legs and even a strip of stomach. As the liquid dripped steadily onto the floor, the shape of two small feet emerged.

"Is this permanent?" May asked, walking slowly around the shivering agent.

"I imagine so. There's still so much we don't know about this technology, but we would probably need the sister device to turn Daisy back."

"W-what?" Daisy stammered...when had Jemma thought of his hypothesis? And why hadn't she shared it before now?! "Jemma, you can't-"

"You know, this might just be exactly what we've been looking for," May interrupted. "An agent who can go anywhere without being seen. Daisy, we'll have to draw up a training program, but I don't-"

"I'm naked."

The two words hung in the air. Daisy had been plucking up the courage to admit the horrible truth, and now the words came pouring out before she could stop them.

"-as I was saying, we'll have to draw up a specialist program for you," May continued, as though there hadn't been an interruption.

"Err...didn't you hear me?" Daisy asked. "I need clothes!"

"Why aren't you wearing clothes?" May asked. "You some sort of nudist?"

"The machine disintegrates non-living matter," Jemma chimed in helpfully.

"Well, that settles it then. This will only work if no one can see you coming."

"But, wait-"

"Daisy, as far as I see it, we have two choices. Our lab team can spend who knows how many hours trying to find a way to turn clothes invisible for you, when we know this machine doesn't do that.

"Or you can start living and training in the nude to as preparation for missions. Which choice do you think would be easier and less time consuming?"

"The first one?" Daisy squeaked hopefully in a small voice. She was really very cold by now.

"Simmons, I want you to archive anything you brought back and begin finding out as much as you can about it. I will decide what modifications we need to make to this base to make all our lives easier with an invisible agent. After all, we don't want her spying on US, do we?" May laughed.

"May...please..." Daisy begged.

"Daisy, no one can see you, you're a grown woman, stop being embarrassed. You two have had a long day. Go and get some rest."

Daisy glumly walked down the corridor towards her bedroom. Her shoulders were screaming; her arms had been cradling her breasts for hours and were hurting. She stumbled on the rough floor, her vision becoming blurred by tears. She managed to dodge around everyone else, and fortunately no one noticed the sparkling tears floating in mind air.

When she got back to her room, Daisy saw that her clothes had already been packed up and removed; May did work fast. Daisy collapsed onto her bed, stripped off all sheets and pillows.

Exhausted, hungry and freezing, Daisy cried herself to sleep, hoping she would never wake up.

But her hellish nightmare was only just beginning...
