Chapter Summaries

John Garrett left S.H.I.E.L.D. for a promotion in the military, weakening Pierce’s Hydra network and prompting Grant Ward to resist Pierce’s orders. Daisy then chose a Vanity Fair interview over The Oprah Winfrey Show, leaving her public profile poised to grow.

• Daisy arranged for military leaders to meet John Garrett, who accepted their offer of promotion and a mission in Afghanistan.
• Garrett warned Pierce not to interfere with his plans, then left S.H.I.E.L.D. while leaving Grant Ward to manage his trusted network.
• Ward began obeying Pierce outwardly while secretly defying him, and Pierce found himself more isolated within S.H.I.E.L.D.
• Daisy assessed her chances of turning Baldy Sitwell or Crossbones Rumlow against Hydra and found little hope of either switching sides.
• After Miss Maid presented invitations from The Oprah Winfrey Show and Vanity Fair, Daisy declined the talk show and accepted Vanity Fair’s interview.

Daisy finished a Vanity Fair interview and photo shoot before Coulson called for urgent backup. She rescued him from rubble at Stark Industries, where he revealed that major events had taken place while she was away.

• Daisy discussed Saving Private Ryan with Christine but gave no controversial answer for the article.
• Daisy agreed to pose for Vanity Fair after the maid chose her outfit and makeup, then endured an exhausting photo shoot.
• Coulson called Daisy for backup, and she teleported to Stark Industries in her dress and high heels.
• Daisy found Coulson trapped beneath rubble and used gravity to lift the beams and debris so he could escape.
• Daisy found two dead agents and severed legs nearby, then learned that several major events had occurred during her interview.

Daisy and Coulson observed Obadiah fleeing with Pepper while Tony Stark pursued him in Iron Man armor. As Obadiah’s powerful Iron Tyrant battled Stark, they followed the Director’s orders to stay out of the fight.

• Obadiah kidnapped Pepper after Tony found the Ten Rings video on his computer and confronted him.
• Coulson reported the situation to the Director, who ordered him and Daisy to observe rather than intervene.
• Daisy teleported Coulson to a rooftop, where they watched Obadiah’s Iron Tyrant knock Iron Man out of the air.
• Daisy and Coulson chose not to help as Stark struggled to pursue the mercenaries’ truck, protect Pepper and bystanders, and fight Iron Tyrant.

Tony Stark defeated Obadiah after Daisy and Coulson rescued Pepper from the mercenaries. After Daisy returned home, Nick Fury woke her to ask whether S.H.I.E.L.D. could reproduce Stark’s armor, and she said it could only build something slightly better than the Iron Tyrant.

• Stark gained the advantage over Obadiah because his armor had a better power supply, operating system, and design.
• Obadiah distracted Stark by having mercenaries threaten Pepper, so Coulson asked Daisy to help rescue her.
• Daisy teleported herself and Coulson onto the truck, where they defeated the mercenaries and carried the unconscious Pepper away.
• After Coulson told Stark that Pepper was safe, Stark recovered and defeated Obadiah.
• Daisy went home and fell asleep, but Nick Fury woke her and asked whether S.H.I.E.L.D. could replicate Stark’s armor.
• Daisy said S.H.I.E.L.D. could at most make armor slightly better than the Iron Tyrant, and she recognized that Fury was trying to provoke her.

Daisy teleported Nick Fury to Tony Stark’s Malibu villa so Fury could speak with him after Stark revealed he was Iron Man. Fury confronted Stark as Daisy stayed to hear what he had to say.

• Daisy listed ways Iron Man’s armor could be defeated, and Fury said he wanted to recruit Tony Stark into S.H.I.E.L.D.
• Fury urgently asked Daisy to teleport him to Stark’s Malibu villa, and she took him there in five jumps.
• Daisy hacked J.A.R.V.I.S. to keep it from detecting them while Fury explained that Stark had just publicly identified himself as Iron Man.
• Daisy learned Obadiah had suffered severe head trauma and was under observation in the hospital.
• Tony entered the villa, noticed Daisy, and then saw Fury step out of the shadows and challenge him about being Iron Man.

Daisy demonstrated her powers to Tony Stark while Nick Fury tried to recruit him, then left with Fury. In February 2008, Daisy learned that a trained group had stolen a dose of Prototype serum and copied hospital data, and she reviewed footage of the theft.

• Nick Fury introduced himself to Stark and asked Daisy to demonstrate her abilities after Stark rejected his approach.
• Daisy cut apart a coffee table with her nails and showed Stark that she could fly, while Fury urged her to reveal more of her powers.
• Fury told Stark to consider joining forces to protect the world, and Daisy opened portals to take Fury back to headquarters before going home with Tangbao.
• In February 2008, Daisy received praise within S.H.I.E.L.D. as Obama's approval ratings rose, while Victoria Hand lost face over McCain's poor showing.
• A hospital director told Daisy that one dose of Prototype serum had been stolen and the hospital database breached.
• Daisy watched footage showing twelve well-trained thieves divide into teams to take the serum and copy data, with their leader waving at the camera.

Daisy investigated the theft of files from the ALS specialty hospital and concluded that the thieves wanted Wolverine’s genetic data, not her or Obama. After ending the investigation, she met Hill at a café as night fell.

• Daisy reviewed the hospital surveillance footage and found no clues, then asked Viper whether anyone was targeting the hospital.
• Viper revealed that many people wanted the drug formula or planned to kidnap those involved, and Daisy deduced that the real target was Wolverine’s genetic data.
• Daisy guessed that the military’s Weapon X Program was behind the theft, and Viper assured her that the program would not target her.
• Daisy called the police to investigate the hospital break-in, then left them to handle the evidence.
• Daisy waited at a café until Hill arrived in casual clothes.

Daisy reunited with Hill and gave her the White Tiger Amulet, inviting her to experience its power. Hill met the White Tiger Spirit, which offered to empower her and revealed that Daisy's strength was already comparable to its own.

• Daisy and Hill caught up at a café, where Hill asked about Stark's time in Afghanistan and mentioned Bobbi's figure.
• Hill began to clarify her feelings about Daisy and her decision to prioritize her career, but Daisy interrupted and gave her a necklace box.
• Daisy took Hill to her training ground and told her to put on the White Tiger Amulet to experience extraordinary power.
• Hill entered the spiritual world and questioned the massive White Tiger Spirit, which explained that it could provide her with power while leaving her herself.
• Hill asked why Daisy had never used the Amulet's power, and the White Tiger Spirit said Daisy's own power was about the same as its own.

Hill claimed the White Tiger Amulet and learned to use its enhanced strength and speed while Daisy trained her in combat. Their sparring ended with Hill tearing Daisy’s pants as Daisy sent her flying.

• Hill received the White Tiger Amulet’s power and nearly crashed into a wall when she misjudged her new speed.
• Daisy and Hill laughed together, then Hill practiced controlling the amulet’s abilities.
• Daisy challenged Hill to attack and repeatedly dodged, countered, and criticized her technique.
• Hill changed into her agent uniform and improved rapidly with the amulet’s strength and the big tiger’s guidance.
• Hill tore Daisy’s pant leg and belt during a forceful exchange, dragging off nearly half of Daisy’s pants as she was sent flying.

Daisy and Hill rebuilt their closeness through training and time together, then Daisy visited Stark Industries to ask about the Supercomputer. Tony Stark asked her to fight him in his armor and offered to cover the remaining installation costs if she agreed.

• Daisy and Hill ate together, and Hill replenished the energy needed to use the Amulet.
• Daisy gave Hill a massage, and the two set aside their rivalry and spent five days training, eating, and playing together while Hill was on leave.
• Hill returned to the carrier, and Daisy went to Stark Industries to ask Pepper Potts about the stalled Supercomputer installation.
• Pepper told Daisy that Tony wanted to speak with her, and Daisy joined his video call.
• Tony asked Daisy to fight him while he wore his armor, and Daisy refused until he offered to waive the Supercomputer's remaining installation, debugging, and material costs.

Daisy agreed to fight Tony Stark after he used her old report criticizing him to pressure her, despite the enormous cost of the supercomputer she wanted to build. They met on a remote wasteland, where Stark showed off his latest Iron Suit and Daisy revealed her superpowers and vibranium wristguards.

• Pepper estimated that the supercomputer’s mid-stage would cost two hundred million dollars, while Daisy struggled to find funding after Fury rejected her movie script and her other potential investors proved broke.
• Tony Stark read Daisy’s old, insulting report about him aloud and challenged her to fight; Daisy accepted after reminding him that she had helped rescue him and Pepper.
• Daisy and Stark refused Pepper’s request to watch their fight, and Daisy later changed into her S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Battle Suit and traveled to their remote battlefield.
• Stark arrived in his crimson-and-gold Iron Suit and fired three bullets at Daisy, who dodged and deflected them with her wristguards.
• Daisy identified her wristguards as vibranium and floated into the air, while Stark lowered his faceplate and launched skyward to begin the fight.

Daisy fought Stark in his Iron Suit, using teleportation and her combat skills to overcome his speed and armor. Stark and J.A.R.V.I.S. adapted with ranged attacks, and the battle shifted into a chaotic aerial contest as Daisy prepared to change tactics.

• Daisy caught up to Stark with short-range teleportation, but his thrusters blasted her away and he taunted her while flying higher.
• Daisy disrupted Stark’s thrusters with compressed air, teleported him back to the ground, and scratched his armor before stabbing it with her Adamantium Dagger.
• Daisy damaged Stark’s forearm armor and missile launcher, then threw and slammed him several times in close combat.
• Stark tricked Daisy with a feint and escaped into the air, where she pursued him using flight and teleportation.
• J.A.R.V.I.S. identified Daisy’s vibration-based detection, and Stark and Daisy traded ranged attacks as he flew wildly to churn the shockwaves around them.

Daisy and Stark’s fight was interrupted when an out-of-control Boeing 747 began falling toward New York, and they raced to save its passengers. Daisy realized Magneto’s daughter Lorna Dane was unleashing uncontrolled magnetic powers aboard the plane and tried to reach her telepathically while struggling to keep the aircraft aloft.

• Daisy used gravity to counter Stark’s interference tactics until he called a truce after spotting a burning Boeing 747 plunging toward the ground.
• Stark flew to help the passengers, while Daisy followed and discovered that a magnetic force was disrupting both the plane and their metal equipment.
• Daisy and Stark tried to stabilize the aircraft, but the magnetism hindered their efforts, and the available X-Men at Xavier’s School were too inexperienced to help.
• Daisy concluded that Lorna Dane was the likely source of the magnetic rampage and attempted to contact her with her undeveloped psychic ability.

Daisy found young Lorna in the failing plane and entered her mental world to help her understand and restrain her newly awakened magnetic powers. After Daisy returned to her body, Lorna still could not control the magnetic force, and Daisy realized her earlier Shockwave was still affecting her.

• Daisy used her Vibe sight to locate unconscious Lorna aboard the plane, whose magnetic field was preventing the pilots from recovering control.
• Daisy sent a Shockwave through the cabin to rouse Lorna and pulled her into a mental world of ice and snow.
• Daisy explained Lorna's mutation and taught her basic ways to control her powers, then left the mental world to conserve her strength.
• Daisy found that Lorna's magnetic force still affected the plane and urged her to restrain it.
• Lorna shouted that something was pushing her, and Daisy realized her earlier Shockwave was still present.

Daisy helped Lorna regain control of her powers and assisted Stark in landing the plane safely. After Daisy left, the passengers turned on Lorna, and Stark struggled to protect her until Daisy returned posing as an FBI agent.

• Daisy shared the strain of Lorna's pushing force and guided her in pulling her magnetic powers back in.
• Daisy, Lorna, and Stark worked together to land the plane safely, after which Daisy left and asked Stark to protect Lorna.
• The passengers blamed Lorna for the incident and gathered around her, while her mother turned away and Stark stepped in to defend her.
• The angry crowd ignored Stark's warnings, and he felt unable to control them amid his own mounting troubles.
• Daisy returned in a changed outfit, claimed FBI authority, and used two off-duty New York police officers to help calm the crowd.

Daisy took Lorna Dane away from the airport after her powers emerged and arranged for her guardians to relinquish custody. She left with Lorna and her backpack, intending to find a suitable place for the young mutant to live and train.

• Daisy reassured Lorna through their psychic connection and waited for Miss Maki to arrive.
• Daisy introduced Miss Maki as a lawyer and discussed Lorna’s care with Lorna’s mother, Susanna Dane, and her stepfather.
• Daisy proposed sending Lorna to a school for people like her, and Lorna’s stepfather agreed to give up guardianship in exchange for the government covering her living expenses and tuition.
• Daisy told Lorna that the documents would be mailed within a week, then invited her to come along and pointed out her backpack.

Daisy brought Lorna home, helped her regain control of her magnetic ability, and realized the apartment was too small for their household. She chose a suburban villa on Long Island and prepared to inspect it by helicopter.

• Lorna panicked when she saw Tangbao, but Daisy’s Shockwave helped trigger Lorna’s magnetic ability before Daisy stopped it.
• Daisy introduced Lorna to Tangbao, and Lorna cautiously petted the little lion.
• Daisy realized Lorna had to sleep in the cramped makeup room and decided to buy a larger house.
• Daisy rejected Manhattan properties and chose a villa at the southern tip of Long Island after the others offered no preferences.
• Daisy arranged to view the villa using a helicopter borrowed from S.H.I.E.L.D. with flight clearance from Colonel Rhodey.

Daisy bought an enormous seaside villa on Long Island after flying there with Lorna, the maid, and a real estate agent. Three days later, she moved in with Lorna and her animals and declared it their new home.

• Daisy claimed to be an Air Force major and flew a helicopter to view a secluded Long Island villa.
• Daisy admired the villa's extensive grounds and amenities, then learned it would cost eighty-five million dollars.
• The maid confirmed they could afford the purchase, and Daisy agreed to buy the villa in installments.
• The maid completed the legal paperwork, and three days later Daisy owned her first home.
• Daisy moved Tangbao, Little Lion, and Rhino into the villa and announced it was their new home.
• Daisy chose the spacious master bedroom on the second floor.

Daisy settled into her Long Island villa with Lorna and began helping her adjust to life as an Inhuman. After Daisy showed Lorna her gravity powers, the household prepared to go swimming in the ocean.

• Daisy hired cleaners, gardeners, chefs, bodyguards, and a driver, and she bought a Porsche Carrera GT.
• Lorna asked Daisy whether she was one of her kind, and Daisy vaguely agreed before demonstrating her gravity ability.
• Daisy decided Lorna needed a systematic education and planned to discuss it with Professor Charles when he returned.
• Daisy suggested a swim in the ocean, then asked Lorna how old she was and learned that she was twelve.

Daisy enjoyed a beach outing with Lorna and the maid, then tested her powers by creating an enormous wave in the Atlantic. Meanwhile, Pepper brought engineers to install the Supercomputer in Daisy’s villa, where its mainframe would be housed.

• Daisy compared the women’s figures while they changed into swimsuits, and the maid quietly taunted Lorna by showing off her own body.
• Daisy applied sunscreen with the maid’s help, then tossed Lorna aside with gravity when the curious girl groped her.
• Daisy swam out into the Atlantic and used Shockwave to create a swell fifty meters high and a thousand meters wide, which she sent eastward.
• Daisy, Lorna, and the maid played along the shore while Daisy continued flying out to sea to practice her powers.
• Daisy and Pepper arranged to put the Supercomputer’s mainframe in the villa’s former wine cellar, and Pepper brought engineers to install its forty computing cabinets.
