Daisy's Wish

===============

The scientific duo, regardless of their future achievements, are currently inexperienced newcomers who have never left the school grounds. It's their first mission, especially one arranged personally by the 'Director' himself. The two of them carried a large load with various instruments, many of which Daisy couldn't understand, various detection devices, and one of them also brought a pistol.

However, judging by how they handle the guns, it seems they might only possess a basic level of marksmanship.

Driving the Quinjet is easy; both Black Widow and Agent May have shared their flying experiences, and Daisy has learned exceptionally well. The jet has a flight speed of 2.1 Mach, allowing it to reach the airspace over the small island in Costa Rica in no time.

At this moment, the scientific duo is still discussing issues like parachute deployment and airflow.

"Wait a moment before you jump; there are still enemies on the island," Daisy interrupts their discussion with a furrowed brow. After listening to them for a while, she opens the thermal imaging system, scanning the entire island. Without going into details, the immensely hard-shelled beetle from before is likely still on the island.

During the scanning process, she could faintly hear the two murmurings, blaming each other for various things, expressing hope that it wouldn't affect the results.

Before long, three gigantic beetles are discovered, and there's even a caterpillar, along with a massive earthworm that was hiding before.

Facing these giant insects, the scientific duo is dumbfounded.

Fortunately, the jet's technology is top-notch. Select their targets and, with a press of a button, unleash a barrage from the Gatling guns.

A rain of bullets ravages the airspace over the small island for ten minutes. The surviving enlarged insects are turned into a pile of flesh. Daisy circles around a couple of times, ensuring no signs of life, before landing the jet at a high point.

The laboratory on the island has been completely destroyed, blown into rubble by Black Widow. Daisy trusts the capabilities of this top-level agent; the chances of mistakes are low. Her main focus is observing the island.

The vegetation is dense to an exaggerated extent, reaching the point where people might believe it's a primitive jungle. Both plants and trees seem to have a tendency to grow larger.

The scientific duo quickly set up a makeshift measurement point, conducting tests on the air content, soil composition, and water quality.

Daisy sat on the side, waiting. Half an hour later, the two reported the results to her: "Air content is normal, and there are slight changes in water and soil, but they are not harmful to humans."

Daisy points to a 'small' grass nearly a meter high beside her and asks, "Then how did these plants grow like this?"

The scientific duo went on explaining a bunch of terms to her.

Daisy has only studied quantum mechanics and is a complete layman with biology. Just to be safe, she called her cheap mentor, Dr. Pym, inquiring about whether the particles replicated by Dr. Egghead could harm the environment.

Comrade Old Pym slapped his chest, confidently assuring her that the Pym particles he developed were safe and non-toxic. Any mutations in the local environment are due to Dr. Egghead's early technical shortcomings, which have long been resolved.

After hanging up the phone, Daisy looks at the scientific duo and says, "I need you two to test the entire island thoroughly; we must not overlook any corners of the mission."

They spend the entire day testing on the island, and the results show everything is normal, except for the dense vegetation.

Daisy flies back to S.H.I.E.L.D. and finds the counselor, Phil Coulson, greeting him warmly. Both of them smile happily.

"Hi, Coulson."

"Hi, Daisy."

Clearing her throat, she says, "The Director assigned me to handle the situation in Costa Rica. Did you know?"

Coulson shook his head, prompting Daisy to explain the details.

"Can't it be handled in the usual way? Say hello to the local government, enforce martial law for a while, and then slowly lift it when there's no more threat." Coulson doesn't understand why she came to him for this.

Daisy pulls him into the office, signaling for a detailed discussion. He poured her a cup of coffee and waited for her to continue.

"People have a very negative impression of agents, right?"

"Yes."

"In fact, various governments have grievances against S.H.I.E.L.D., am I right?"

Coulson became a bit cautious, nodded, and said, "Indeed, but those are misunderstandings at the lower levels. The true high-ranking officials understand the sacrifices S.H.I.E.L.D. has made for humanity and the world."

Daisy secretly scoffs at the notion of sacrifices. What a lofty term! In this day and age, even if a U.S. soldier in Iraq gets a splinter, they'll seek sympathy on social media. Expecting agents of her generation to sacrifice themselves? It's simply unthinkable.

Do those agents who joined Hydra know about the Brotherhood of the Shield, the debates between Newton and Da Vinci, and the split of the Zodiac? Do they know the principles of modern Hydra? They don't have a clue.

Joining Hydra is just a hope for change. What ideologies Hydra has, what grand ambitions of world domination they pursue—those agents don't care. If S.H.I.E.L.D. can offer them a glamorous opportunity, they might not be willing to join Hydra.

In just a month, Daisy has interacted with many people. It's likely that more than seventy percent of them will eventually turn to Hydra, pointing guns at their former comrades.

She felt it was regrettable—for their talents, for the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., for humanity as a whole.

All the elites are being depleted in internal conflicts. When the aliens come, they can only rely on a few superheroes to support the scene. It's a tragedy.

The Brotherhood of the Shield has a saying that has been passed down since 2620 BC: "Our world should not end like this."

Members of the Brotherhood have been overcoming hardships, fighting aliens, Galactus, and fooling the Celestials—all to preserve the world.

Daisy doesn't have such lofty ideals, but she wants to try something. If she fails, she'll move on with her life. If successful, maybe she can save more lives.

Ignoring the topic of sacrifices, Daisy suggests, "Actually, we can collaborate more closely with the government and, at the same time, downplay the dark side of agents, portraying them from a more heroic perspective."

Coulson realized that today's conversation had taken a bizarre turn, and his expression became more serious.

Daisy begins her pitch from his favorite angle, "Just like Captain America initially starred in conscription advertisements, rallying countless young people to head to the battlefield, we can replicate that process today and get more people to join us."

Coulson twitched his face a bit. Making advertisements and conscripts to deceive the American public—it's a dark history of Captain America. However, he can't argue that Daisy isn't making a valid point. Facts are facts.

"Fully facing the public will take time, but we can show a friendly attitude towards the government."

Coulson struggles to keep up with Daisy's train of thought. After a moment of consideration, he asks, "You mean to shoot an advertisement?"
