Don't fuck with me or I'll quake your ground.

~Essential Tremors

The mirror

Aviva: Come to me Kali. I conjure thee Kali. Come to me Kali. I conjure thee Kali.

(In the mirror, Kali appears.)

Kali: I'm here Aviva.

Aviva: It's been over a week.

Kali: I know. Be patient Aviva.

Aviva: But I've done everything that you've asked. I've followed the Halliwell sisters. I know their every move.

Kali: Which will all become valuable in good time. You must trust me. You must make them want you as badly as you want them.

Aviva: I talked to my mom today.

Kali: How is she?

Aviva: I don't know. She's better...I think. I miss her.

Kali: She's gonna be so proud of you.

Aviva: Yeah? I hope so.

Kali: Are you ready to receive your power?

Aviva: (giggling a little) You know I am.

Kali: Remember, it's a sacred power. If I give it to you, you must use it only as I say.

Aviva: I will. I promise.

Kali: Very well. Reach for the mirror. Put out your hands. Feel the power. (Aviva reaches her hands towards the mirror. Aviva's hands begin to glow. She receives the power. Her hands stop glowing and she puts them down.) You know what to do. Go to Phoebe, Piper, and Prue.

Leo: Uh... well I think I see... yep. There's definitely something here.

Piper: (to herself) Definitely.

Phoebe: Oh my. Santa, you've changed.

Piper: He's looking for Kit.

Phoebe: The cat. Right. Four legs and fur. I remember. (Mouthing to Piper) Oh my god!

Leo: Sorry. You know, have you tried the shelter?

Piper: Yeah. Nothing.

Leo: Well, she had her collar on right? With your number on it and everything?

Phoebe: A very distinctive collar actually.

Piper: Anyway...(She stands up.) Uh, thanks for looking. I'm sure you must be hungry after all that work.

Leo: All what work?

(Phoebe laughs a little and puts her arm around Piper.)

Phoebe: Oh, that's just Piper. She's gotta be everyone's mom. Think of her as your mom. I know I do.

(They all laugh a little.)

Piper: Isn't she a scream?

Leo: Well thanks, um...let me go put up these flyers first and I'll be right back, OK?

Phoebe: Oh. Quite possibly the finest glutes in the city.

Piper: In the state.

Phoebe: In all the land.

Piper: I saw him first.

Phoebe: Uh-uh.

Piper: Uh-huh.

Phoebe: Oh.

Piper: Here you go Leo. Non-fat milk right?

Leo: Right. Thanks.

Piper: Just don't call me mom.

Phoebe: Trust me. One hot night is all you guys need to get back on track.

Prue: Yeah. I hope you're right.

Phoebe: Andy's a cop. You're a witch.

Piper: Ahem.

Phoebe: Except complications.

Prue: Hey, Leo. How's it going?

Leo: Good. Uh, this wall only needs two coats and then I gotta do the moulding and then I'm done.

Phoebe: Ah, are you sure it doesn't need 3 coats?

Leo: Uh...

Piper: Nice outfit... for 9 o'clock in the morning with no place to go.

Phoebe: Hmm. I'm glad you like it. (Leo drinks some milk.) Oh. Leo. Come here. (She wipes the milk moustache off her face.) Got milk?

Prue: Uh...Phoebe, come here. (Phoebe doesn't) Phoebe!

Prue: I think that Piper likes Leo.

Phoebe: What's not to like? He's a great guy.

Prue: No. I mean... really likes him.

Phoebe: Your point being?

Prue: Never mind. Classic Phoebe.

Phoebe: Wait. Define that.

Prue: I think you know.

Phoebe: Okay. Look Prue, I think we need to put some major closer on this or we're gonna be in rocking chairs slurping oatmeal out of rubber spoons and I'm still gonna hear about Roger. (Piper enters to get coffee.) Piper, am I a boyfriend thief?

Piper: Totally.

Phoebe: Besides Roger, whom again Prue, I never touched.

Piper: My boyfriend. Billy Wilson.

(Phoebe laughs a little.)

Phoebe: Billy Will... Eight grade Billy Wilson?

Piper: You kissed him at homecoming.

Phoebe: No I did not kiss him at homecoming. I was helping him find a contact lens.

Piper: Oh please. You were all over him with your breasts all...whatever.

Phoebe: I didn't even have breasts back then.

Piper: Phoebe, you've always had breasts.

Prue: So, I think I'll just let you two work this out on your own. But, um, just remember, I get the house tonight. Just Andy and me. No warlocks, no innocents to protect and especially, no sisters.

Piper: So you know... it's not like either one of us has a problem finding guys.

Phoebe: (Snorts) Please.

Piper: So if one of us... got Leo... it'd be OK with the other one.

Phoebe: Absolutely.

Piper: So we can just consider this a friendly competition.

Phoebe: Sibling rivalry.

Piper: War.

Phoebe: Exactly.

Aviva: Dear Diary...

Aunt Jackie: Aviva, open the door.

Aviva: Life sucks here.

Aunt Jackie: I'm gonna be late for work.

Aviva: So that part about this being my room, that was a lie?

Aunt Jackie: It's my apartment Aviva.

Aviva: So you keep reminding me Aunt Jackie.

Aunt Jackie: Why don't you get some light and air in here?

(She goes to open the curtain. Aviva stands up.)

Aviva: Because I like it dark and stale.

(Aunt Jackie stops and turns around.)

Aunt Jackie: Why are you so antagonistic to me?

Aviva: How come you haven't called my mom yet?

Aunt Jackie: What?

Aviva: To see how she's doing, or just to say "hello"? It would help her you know. I mean, it's not like she's got a lot of family.

Aunt Jackie: She has to take responsibility for her own actions.

Aviva: She's not in jail. She's in rehab. She didn't do anything wrong to take responsibility for. She's sick and that's it. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Aunt Jackie: Whatever.

Andy: Ah, ever see "Lethal Weapon 3"?

Prue: Not very romantic.

Andy: Right.

Prue: Hey. (Prue shows her the video) How about "Double Indemnity"?

Andy: (Whispering) It's black and white.

Prue: (Whispering) Right.

Video store clerk: Video paralyses.

Prue: Excuse me?

Video store clerk: You're probably two minutes away from leaving without a rental. Mind if I help? After all, I am a pro.

Andy: Sure. Doesn't matter what we pick anyway. We'll probably never get around to watching it.

Prue: Oh yeah? Pretty cocky. (Andy walks to her.)

Andy: Actually what I meant was something always seems to come up. Get in our way.

Prue: That's not true. OK, well, maybe it's sometimes true, but there's always a perfectly good reason.

Andy: Prue, there's never a perfectly good reason. As a matter of fact, there's never usually even a reason at all. Good, bad, or otherwise.

Prue: All right. (She moves closer to him.) You...me...alone...tonight. Nothing and I mean nothing will get in our way. Guaranteed.

Andy: I'll hold you to that.

Prue: (Whispering) OK.

Video store clerk: I got it. (Prue and Andy stop kissing.) "Body Heat".

Prue/Andy: We'll take it.

Aviva: I conjure thee Kali.

(In the mirror, Kali appears.)

Kali: I'm here Aviva.

Aviva: I'm going crazy here Kali. I can't wait any longer.

Kali: The Halliwells' don't understand our way. They don't know the full uses and joys of their powers.

Aviva: I'll show them.

Kali: You must gain their trust first. You must let them welcome you into their coven.

Aviva: I won't disappoint you. I swear.

Kali: Then it's time. (The closet door opens. Aviva goes to it and gets Kit.) Take the cat back to the Halliwells.

Piper: About done for the day?

Leo: Just about.

Piper: Uh...well, Prue's got a date so we kinda gotta clear out. I was thinking about catching a movie. Wanna go?

Leo: I can't do it.

Piper: OK.

Leo: You know...these are original to the house. I mean, they really should be sanded down, finished off with steal wool, and... and restrained. Not covered in paint.

Piper: Oh, right. Sort of like risotto with minute rice. (Leo chuckles a little.) It's a cooking analogy.

Leo: Yeah. (They both chuckle a little.) Anyway uh...I have some stain samples at home if you're interested. I can bring them by tomorrow and show them to you and your sisters.

Piper: Or better yet, why don't you just bring them by the restaurant? Say about lunchtime? Prue's so busy and Phoebe doesn't really care. She's more into stucco.

Leo: OK.

Piper: OK.

Leo: So what time's that movie?

 Phoebe: I got it.

Phoebe: Kit! Oh my god. Where did you find her? We were worried sick.

Aviva: I was just walking by and I um, saw one of your flyers and poof. There she was. Like magic.

Phoebe: Wow.  I can't even believe she let you hold her.

Piper: Oh. Welcome home Kitty! (Phoebe laughs a little as she hands Piper Kit. Leo enters) Oh. You must be starving.

Aviva: (Sitting down on the couch.) I fed her.

Phoebe: (Sitting on the arm of the couch.) I thought you said you just found her.

Aviva: I did. Oh, um, a couple of hours ago. I mean.

Piper: And she didn't try to scratch you?

Aviva: Mm-mmm.

Leo: You know, I'll take the flyers down tomorrow. Let me uh, clean up before the movie.

Phoebe: Movie? What movie?

Piper: A war movie.

Phoebe: I love war movies. Mind if I tag along?

Leo: Uh sure. Why not? I'll be right back.

Aviva: You guys aren't going out are you? I mean, you just got your cat back.

Piper: Oh she'll be fine. Let me get my purse. (She puts Kit down and goes towards the table.) Uh, what's your name?

Aviva: Oh. No. No. I don't want your money.

Piper/Phoebe: Hey Andy!

Andy: Hey!

Prue: Hey. I thought we all had plans tonight?

Phoebe: This girl just found our cat for us.

Aviva: Aviva.

Prue: Well that's great. Um, is fifty bucks enough?

Aviva: Uh, I don't... I don't want a reward. (She stands up.) We need to talk.

Prue: About what?

Aviva: About Wicca.

Prue: Uh...(Leo enters.) Andy Trudeau, this is Leo Wyatt. You guys chat. We'll be right back.

Phoebe: OK. (Piper and Phoebe get up and lead Aviva away.)

Andy: Hey. 

Piper: Thanks again.

Phoebe: Yeah. I'm sorry you can't stay.

Aviva: I'm...not leaving. Don't you understand? I'm one of you.

Piper: No.

Aviva: Very cool.

Piper: Um, wait. You didn't.... she didn't....you didn't freeze?

Aviva: That's because I'm a witch too.

Prue: A what?

Aviva: Look, I just want to be friends.

Piper: Uh, guys, we have about 20 seconds until they unfreeze.

Phoebe: How did you find out about us?

Aviva: I'm gonna need more than 20 seconds for that.

Piper: We really need to move things along here Prue.

Prue: OK. You need to leave here now.

Aviva: What? A...why?

Prue: Because we don't know who the hell you really are, so just leave. OK? Go. Go. Go.

Aviva: No. I'm not leaving. I just saved your cat.

Prue: Leave now or else.

Aviva: Or else what.

Andy: What the hell?

Leo: Hey, where did that girl go?

Phoebe: Uh. She just...

(Prue uses her power to make the front door slam.)

Prue: Uh! Uh. Left.

Aviva: You said if I brought them back their cat...

Kali: Was it the oldest? Was it Prue that sent you away?

Aviva: Yes.

Kali: Avoid her. She's the strongest. You must separate them. Together they're Charmed. Impenetrable.

Aviva: But what if they don't want me?

Kali: Phoebe will. In her own way. She's searching for someone to relate to. Someone to share her witchcraft with. What's the problem?

Aviva: I... I don't know.

Kali: You're the one that came to me remember? You're the one who wanted... sisters.

Aviva: I know. I want a family. I don't have anybody. What do you get out of it? I mean, you know, you never really said.

Kali: Halliwell magic is old and powerful, and I want it. And since they're new to the craft, if I'm ever going to get it, it has to be now...through you. Just do as I say Aviva. Make Phoebe convent your power, then we'll both get what we want.

Prue: It's not what you think Andy. It's hard to explain. It's just...

Andy: Just another one of those things you can't explain. It's a broken record Prue.

Prue: Look, I wanted you to stay. You have to believe me.

Andy: Then what happened? Why'd you want me to leave all of a sudden?

Prue: I told you. Something came up. Sister stuff. I can't really go into detail without betraying someone's secret.

Andy: Prue...

Prue: Look Andy, I'm unpredictable. OK? That's just part of who I am and you have to accept that because I can't change it.

Andy: I don't want you to change Prue. I just... (He sits down.) I just want to have a normal date. That's all. Is that too much to ask for.

Prue: All right. Let's just try it again. Tonight? Uh, same time? Same place?

Andy: Same movie?

Prue: Uh, yeah. OK, so what? 8 o'clock?

Andy: I'll be there. Bye.

Prue: All right. Bye

Prue:  If I ever see that little artiest again...

Piper: Just got done dodging Leo's questions about her. That was close.

Prue: Too close. The question is, who is she?

Piper: And what does she want?

Phoebe: Let us not forget Aviva found Kit.

Prue: Yeah. She's probably the one who stole the cat in the first place.

Phoebe: Hello? Paranoia check.

Prue: Phoebe, for all we know, she's a warlock.

Piper: She can't be. She didn't freeze.

Phoebe: Beside, she said she was a witch.

Prue: OK, a bad witch maybe.

Phoebe: Yeah, a bad witch with a really cool power. Better than mine. That's for sure.

Prue: Why are you so quick to defend her?

Phoebe: Why are you so quick to condemn her?

Piper: If she is a witch, a good witch, then it might be kinda cool considering she's the first one we've run across.

Phoebe: Exactly.

Prue: Guys, we don't know anything about her—how she got her powers. How she found out about us?

Phoebe: She tried to tell us, but you kicked her out.

Prue: Yeah. She would have exposed us if I hadn't.

Phoebe: Prue, she's just a kid. Besides, if she is a witch, she probably feels just as alone as we do. Maybe she just needs some friends.

Prue: Or maybe she's out to destroy us. It wouldn't be the first time.

Phoebe: OK.

Prue: All right, until she knows who she really is, let's just steer clear. OK? (Phoebe nods.) I'm late for work.

Piper: Me too.

Phoebe: Hello? Aviva?

Aviva: I'm so glad that you came.

Phoebe: I'm glad that you called actually.

Aviva: Bet you got a few questions huh?

Phoebe: A few. Uh, what time does school let out?

Aviva: Uh, now.

Phoebe: Uh, whoa. Whoa. Hey, what are you doing?

Aviva: Oh, the same thing I'm sure you did a thousand times. Am I right?

Phoebe: Well..

Aviva: I am right. Um, you didn't tell your bitch sister about this, did you?

Phoebe: Hey, watch your mouth. Prue had every right to be upset about what you did.

Aviva: It's funny how you knew that I was talking about Prue and not Piper. Hey, come on. Let's go for a ride. I'll tell you everything that you want to know.

Piper: Table for one sir?

Leo: Wow. You own this place?

Piper: No. I just run it. Um. (They begin to walk to a table.) Actually, I used to be the chef here.

Leo: I'm impressed.

Piper: Good. I mean, um, good that you came here as opposed to the house and Phoebe. (Leo takes the stain samples out of his pocket.) How about those stain samples?

Leo: Now I only brought the ones authentic to the era in which the manor was built.

Piper: Great. (She sits down in the chair across from Leo.) Hungry?

Leo: Uh...

Piper: Oh, it's on the house.

Leo: You're big on food, aren't you?

Piper: Uh...

Leo: No. That's good. You know, actually, in the Mayan culture, the cook was second in the hierarchy only to the medicine man.

Piper: Mayans? You know about Mayans? Well, you certainly are a handyman, aren't you?

Leo: Uh, so, does Phoebe work here too?

Piper: Phoebe? Work. No. No. No. No. No. No. She's probably at her gay and lesbian group right about now. So what'll it be?

Phoebe: This is the dining room. This is the parlor. That's the conservatory, which is just another fancy name for family room.

Aviva: This is so totally cool. Oh, I love it here.

Phoebe: And welcome to planet Leo.

Aviva: You are liking this Leo.

Phoebe: Uh, maybe.

Aviva: Does he like you? I mean, how can he not? You are so gorgeous.

(As Phoebe talks, Aviva goes and sits down on the couch holding Kit.)

Phoebe: Well, you see, Piper and I have sort of have this little competition going over him.

Aviva: So just use your powers. Cast a spell on him or something. You do have powers, don't you?

Phoebe: What makes you think I do?

Aviva: Please. You're a witch.

Phoebe: Yeah, which brings us back to how do you know that. You promised.

Aviva: I have this teacher. She's great. She's like my mom. She told me.

Phoebe: Who is she?

Aviva: Another witch. Like a high priestess or something. She said you were the coolest and I would like you the best. She was right.

Phoebe: Well I'd like to meet her sometime.

Aviva: Yeah? (Phoebe nods.) Is your room up there?

Phoebe: Mm-hmm.

Aviva: Come on. I want to share something with you. (She puts Kit down and stands up.) You're gonna love it. I promise.

Aviva: I like mirrors. They never lie to you. (Phoebe appears behind Aviva.) They always tell you the truth whether you like it or not. It's basic black. The color of my soul. Do you want to try it?

Phoebe: You're soul's not black.

Aviva: You know the feeling that I mean. You're different, you know, you'll never want what they want. You belong on the edge. We aren't pink people Phoebe. (She turns around.) You want to see something incredible? Better yet, you want to try it?

Phoebe: Try what?

Aviva: I'll show you my power if you show me yours.

Prue: Anybody home? (She puts her purse on the table.) Better not be.

Aviva: Don't be afraid.

Phoebe: OK. Now what?

Aviva: She's giving it to you too.

Phoebe: Who is? Giving me what?

Aviva: The power. Here. (She puts a potted plant in front of Phoebe.) Touch this. (Phoebe does. The plant begins to grow.) It's the power of heat. You're hand is like the sun.

Phoebe: Whoa.

Aviva: That's pretty cool huh?

Prue: Phoebe, are you...

Phoebe: Prue...

Prue: What are you doing?

Aviva: Get out. This is her room.

Phoebe: Aviva...

Aviva: No. She treats you worse than my aunt treats me. It's not right.

Phoebe: It's OK. Relax.

Andy: Chianti, Body Heat...What do you think?

Prue: Ah...

Phoebe: (Running down the stairs) Prue, I can explain! Oh no!

Andy: Oh no...Let me guess? Rain check?

Prue: Andy...

Andy: Prue, this is...this is getting ridiculous.

Prue: I know. Believe me. You have every right to be upset, and I can't talk about it right now but I will. I promise. Tomorrow? Quake? 1:00? Please?

Andy: OK. Tomorrow 1:00. 

Phoebe: I am so sorry. I totally forgot. 

Prue: What the hell is she doing here? What's a matter with you?

Aviva: This is her house too, OK? She can do whatever she wants.

Phoebe:  Aviva...Prue, She's not what you think she is.

Aviva: She doesn't understand Phoebe. She'll never understand. 

Kali: If there were no Prue, Phoebe would be with us now.

Aviva: I hate her and wish that she were dead.

Aunt Jackie: (Outside the door.) Aviva? What's going on? Who's in there with you? (She open the door and comes in.) You skipped school today and I want to know why.

Aviva: Get out of my room!

Aunt Jackie: How dare you speak to me in that tone! (She notices the candles as Aviva stands up.) What's going on here?

Aviva: I said get out of my room! Leave me alone or else...

 Aunt Jackie? Oh god. 

 Aunt Jackie?

Aviva: Thanks.

Phoebe: You poor thing. You're shivering.

Aviva: I'm OK. (To Prue.) I know that you don't like me and I know that the last thing you want to do is help me. But I don't know where else to turn. I don't have anybody else.

Piper: She's telling the truth. Her aunt was admitted to the hospital.

Aviva: How is she? Is she OK?

Piper: She has a broken arm and a concussion.

Prue: How did she fall again?

Aviva: I don't know. I...I heard her scream and, and then I found her on the floor and I called 911. I promise, if you just let me spend the night and get some sleep, I'll tell you everything you want to know about me tomorrow.

Piper: She can't stay alone.

Phoebe: She can sleep in my room.

Prue: No magic.

Aviva: I swear.

Kali: Now... is the time.

Piper: What are you doing?

Aviva: Um...I was just looking for the bathroom.

Piper: Oh. It's down the hall to the right.

Aviva: Great. Thanks. Good night. 

Piper looks in Prue's room. She's still asleep. Piper closes the door.

Prue: I'm going to the hospital to see her aunt in an hour. I'll be back OK?

Prue: Aviva, I'm going to go see you aunt. Let her know where you are. We'll talk when I get back OK?

Aviva: Yeah. Sure. Tell her I love her.

Prue: OK.

Aunt Jackie: I don't understand. Why is Aviva staying with you? I don't even know who you are.

Prue: Um, actually we just met your niece. We lost our cat and she found it for us.

Aunt Jackie: Oh. That's what she was hiding.

Prue: Hiding?

Aunt Jackie: In the closet. She wouldn't let me go anywhere near it. You're lucky she didn't sacrifice the poor thing.

Prue: I'm sorry? 

Aunt Jackie: She's a strange kid. Very troubled. Into all sorts of wired stuff. Black magic, voodoo. God know what else. No wonder she doesn't have any friends.

Prue: What makes you think she's into black magic?

Aunt Jackie: You should see her room. It seems like every time I walk past there she's in there...chanting or something. Sometimes, I swear, I even hear other voices. I know she's not happy there. I'm only taking care of her until her mom gets out of rehab.

Prue: Do you mind if I stop by your place and pick up some things for Aviva?

Aunt Jackie: No.

Prue: Great. Thanks. Feel better.

Piper: Andy, I can't seem to get a hold of Prue. I know she was going to the hospital...

Andy: That's all right Piper. Thanks for trying.

Piper: I'm sure there's a perfectly good...

Andy: Explanation? Wanna bet? 

Prue sees Aviva's diary by the bed. She picks it up and reads one of the pages.

Prue: "Kali says we're close to taking over the Halliwell coven. I hate lying to them."

Phoebe: Hello.

Prue: Uh, Phoebe. It's me.

Phoebe: Prue, where are you? Piper called. She says you were supposed to meet Andy at Quake.

Prue: Um. Listen, we have a bigger problem to deal with. Call her back and tell her to come home. I'll...I'll explain it to you guys later. And Phoebe, whatever you do, don't let Aviva out of your site. OK?

Phoebe: Yeah sure.

Prue: All right. Bye..

Phoebe: Prue's on her way home. We can have our little chat when she gets here.

Aviva: Yeah. OK. Mind if I go upstairs and lay down? I'm...I'm not feeling real well.

Phoebe: Sure. Go ahead.

Leo: This last coat of stain's gotta dry. (He looks at Phoebe.) I'm uh, heading over to Filmore's in a few minutes to do an estimate.

Phoebe: Wait. You're finished already?

Leo: Yeah. I'll be back tomorrow to make sure everyone's happy with my work. 

Phoebe: What?

Leo: Just...just out of curiosity, um...are you and Aviva... I mean, Piper said that...

Phoebe: Piper said what?

Leo: Uh. Nothing...I think I need some water.

Phoebe: Wait, Leo, what did Piper say to you?

Leo: Uh, it doesn't matter, really... forget it.

Phoebe: Well, whatever she said, you should probably take it with a grain of salt, 'cuz sometimes her medication makes her say the strangest things! But, not to worry-her shrinks are on it.

Leo: Shrinks?

Phoebe: Oh my god. Aviva.

Leo: Prue's home.

Phoebe: Oh no.

Phoebe: Aviva? Aviva!  What the hell are you doing? 

Aviva: Phoebe... I'm sorry.

Piper: Maybe we should take you to the hospital.

Phoebe: No. It's not that bad.

Leo: Well, how did it happen anyway?

Phoebe: Uh, candles. Aviva had some candles lit and I guess the sweater got to close, and then she ran out of the house.

Leo: It sure caught fire fast.

Prue: Um, Leo, we got this. We wouldn't want you to be late for that estimate.

Leo: Are you sure? I don't mind.

Phoebe: No. Prue's right. I'm fine. You go ahead.

Leo: OK. I'll stop by later to see how you're doing. 

 Piper/Phoebe: Great.

Prue: OK. So, how did this happen?

Phoebe: I had a premonition...that Aviva was going to hurt you, so I tried to stop her. I should have listened to you Prue. You were right about Aviva. She's evil.

Prue: No. Actually, she's not, but she is being used by an evil spirit and I think I know which one, so come on.

Kali: Where are you going Aviva?

Aviva: Go away. I don't want anything to do with you. I don't want to be a witch anymore.

Kali: But you haven't finished what we've started.

Aviva: But I'm hurting people. Don't you understand? First Aunt Jackie, now Phoebe. I have to leave.

Kali: Aren't you going to say good-bye first? Touch the mirror, Aviva. It's OK. I'm not upset. Touch the mirror and I'll go away too. Hello...(Her voice changes to evil.)...Aviva?

Prue: Kali. Kali. Kali.

Piper: There, there. " An evil sorceress cursed into her own dimension. She appears in reflections and has the power to possess..."

Prue: "...innocents and use them as pawns to steal a witch's power."

Piper: Wait. I don't understand. So she's using Aviva to try to turn us into bad witches?

Phoebe: Does it say anything about how to get rid of her?

Prue: Uh, yeah. " To get ride of her: shatter her reflection." However the hell we do that. Here.

Phoebe: Aviva?

(Kali walks towards them while saying this line and then stops)

Kali: (In Aviva's voice) Hello Phoebe. How's (Kali's voice) the arm?

Phoebe: You're not Aviva?

Kali: You're not kidding. 

 Aviva: Phoebe! Help me!

Kali: Never mind. My power's greater than yours Prue. It's only a matter of time.

Phoebe: Time? Piper, that's it! Freeze her!

Piper: Aviva doesn't freeze.

Phoebe: Yeah, but Kali will.

Kali: No!

Piper: Prue! The mirror! Get her to the mirror! (Prue uses her power to throw Kali in the mirror.)

Kali: No!

Aviva: Thanks for the dress.

Phoebe: No problem. It's Prue's. All set?

Aviva: Yeah. I'm all set.

Phoebe: You OK?

Aviva: I don't think, uh, looking into a mirror is ever going to be the same. 

Phoebe: Yeah, well, the demon's gone Aviva, forever.

Aviva: Yeah, well, unfortunately all the other ones remain. It's so hard.

Phoebe: Oh, I know. It was hard for me too when I was your age.

Aviva: Yeah?

Phoebe: Are you kidding? These are the hardest years of your life. The one thing I learned is you just gotta be yourself. 

Aviva: Easy for you to say. What if yourself sucks?

Phoebe: Well, you don't have to worry about that. No. Aviva, I'm serious. You are a great kid. I could totally see us hanging out together in school. A couple of troublemakers. (Both she and Aviva laugh a little.)

Aviva: I'm going to miss being a witch. Having powers...and having sisters.

Phoebe: Yeah, well, you've got your mom. And your aunt will be home from the hospital tomorrow. (She stands up.) OK, now remember, do not tell anyone about us Halliwell sisters right? It's just our little secret.

Aviva: I promise.

Phoebe: OK.

Prue: Hey.

Andy: Hey. 

Prue: Uh, can we talk?

Andy: Is there really anything to talk about?

Prue: Andy... I'm sorry...

Andy: So am I!

Prue: What do you mean by that?

Andy: I mean, come on Prue. Who we kidding? I mean, let's face it. One of us is obviously more interested in this relationship than the other.

Prue: That's not true.

Andy: Isn't it? Then how come I'm always the one left standing there looking like a jerk.

Prue: I can explain.

Andy: No, you can't. Or you won't. Damn it Prue. I still love you. I'm not saying you have to explain it all to me Prue. That you're prerogative. All I'm saying is... it hurts that you don't trust me enough.

Prue: I do trust you Andy. It has nothing to do with you, it's just... it's just something that I don't know if I can ever share with anybody.

Andy: Well I hope that's not true for your sake. All I know is there's nothing I can say or do to reassure you, that I'm there for you. (He grabs his coat and walks up the stairs.)

Prue: Andy... (He stops half-way and turns around.) Are you saying that you don't want to see me anymore?

Andy: I don't know what I want anymore.

AGENTS  OF  S.H.I.E.L.D. 4x17 - Identity and Change

The Case for Quake: Making Daisy Johnson More Important in Marvel Stories

In the vast world of Marvel characters, Daisy Johnson stands out as a superhero with considerable untapped potential. Known as Quake, her earthquake powers and intriguing background make her a compelling character in Marvel Comics and other media. Although she played a significant role in the TV show Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daisy has been notably absent from the larger Marvel Universe, leaving fans eager to see more of this exciting character.

This article argues that Daisy Johnson should be more prominent in Marvel stories. It examines her backstory, special powers, and pivotal comic book plots that showcase her leadership and bravery. By exploring Daisy’s contributions to the Marvel universe, we will see why she should play a more significant role in future Marvel projects in comics and movies. She has the potential to enrich the superhero world, and it is time for Marvel to harness Quake’s power.

Daisy Johnson’s Origin Story

Early Life and Discovery of Powers

Daisy Johnson’s journey to becoming a powerful Marvel superhero began with an unusual twist of fate. Calvin Zabo, a criminal scientist known as Mister Hyde and a woman with Inhuman ancestry, gave birth to Daisy, endowing her with a unique genetic makeup. Her father’s experiments on himself altered his DNA, but her powers came from her natural Inhuman genes. Kim Johnson, Daisy’s mother, put her up for adoption at birth, and Daisy grew up unaware of her biological parents.

Named Cory Sutter by her adoptive family, Daisy became part of her new family at seven months old. She grew up to be an intelligent but troubled teenager. Her life changed instantly when, while stealing two CDs, her hidden powers manifested. Her Inhuman genes gave her the ability to generate earthquake-like tremors. This sudden, uncontrollable display of power caused an earthquake, marking the beginning of Daisy’s life as a superhero.

Joining S.H.I.E.L.D.

Daisy’s remarkable abilities caught the attention of Nick Fury, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., who recognized her potential and took an interest in her development. He revealed the truth about her parents and offered her a position at S.H.I.E.L.D., contingent on her loyalty to him. In return, he would help her control her powers.

Accepting Fury’s offer changed Daisy’s life forever. She excelled in her training and quickly rose through the ranks of S.H.I.E.L.D. Her hard work and exceptional skills earned her the highest level of security clearance—Level 10. This rapid ascent demonstrated her talent and dedication to using her abilities for the greater good.

Becoming Quake

As Daisy mastered her powers while working for S.H.I.E.L.D., she learned to control her seismic abilities with increasing precision, earning the codename “Quake,” which aptly described her earth-shaking powers. Over time, she discovered that her abilities stemmed from her Inhuman heritage, not from any direct genetic experiments by her father.

Due to international arrest warrants, Daisy’s loyalty to Nick Fury was tested when he had to leave S.H.I.E.L.D.. Despite Maria Hill taking over as Director, Daisy remained fiercely loyal to Fury. Her unwavering loyalty and formidable powers made her one of Fury’s most trusted agents.

Daisy Johnson’s backstory reveals her resilience and potential. Her journey from a difficult childhood to a critical role in the Marvel universe highlights the complexity of her character. Her Inhuman genes and unique powers make her a fascinating figure in the superhero world. As Quake, Daisy Johnson is a formidable presence in the Marvel universe, and her full potential in more prominent storylines remains untapped.

Quake’s Special Powers

Daisy Johnson's extraordinary abilities make her a formidable force in the Marvel universe. Her powers, alongside her extensive training and leadership skills, demonstrate her capacity as a superhero.

Seismic Powers

Quake’s primary ability involves generating powerful vibrational waves, which can create effects similar to earthquakes, reaching at least 3.2 on the Richter scale. What sets Quake apart is her remarkable control over these seismic waves. She can now precisely direct her vibrations thanks to extensive training with Nick Fury.

This precise control enables Quake to target specific objects, causing them to shake apart from within. She demonstrated this ability in critical moments, such as when she stopped an antimatter bomb in Lucia von Bardas by destroying its power source. In another instance, she even caused Wolverine’s heart to rupture from the inside, halting his attack on S.H.I.E.L.D. Chief Nick Fury.

Initially, Quake required special gloves to enhance her powers. However, she can now use her powers unaided, maintaining the same level of control. This evolution highlights her growing mastery of her unique abilities.

Combat Skills

In addition to her earthquake powers, Daisy excels in hand-to-hand combat. Nick Fury’s training has endowed her with exceptional fighting skills. In recent encounters, she has demonstrated her prowess by holding her own against Bobbi Morse, a martial arts expert. This showcases her capability in close-quarters combat.

Daisy’s combat abilities extend beyond hand-to-hand fighting. She is also an expert marksman, thanks again to Nick Fury’s training. Her accuracy with firearms has earned her the respect of her peers, including Bucky Barnes, who entrusted her as a sniper during their collaborations.

Leadership Qualities

Daisy’s evolution from a troubled youth to a critical player in S.H.I.E.L.D. has fostered her leadership skills. Nick Fury has played a significant role in shaping these qualities, giving her a clear sense of purpose and direction. Although this path has been rewarding, it has not been without challenges, which have pushed her to grow as a leader.

Her role as a top spy further demonstrates her leadership capabilities. Daisy has proven adept at undercover operations, showing she can think strategically and make critical decisions under pressure. Her rapid ascent through the ranks of S.H.I.E.L.D., culminating in obtaining the highest security clearance, underscores her leadership potential and the trust in her abilities.

Daisy’s unique combination of seismic powers, combat skills, and leadership make her indispensable to the Marvel universe. Her capacity to create earthquake-like effects and wield these powers with great precision sets her apart from other heroes. Coupled with her hand-to-hand combat proficiency and marksmanship, Quake is a formidable force capable of handling various threats. Her leadership acumen further enhances her value, as she is not only a powerful individual but also a capable strategist and team leader.

Quake’s Key Storylines in Marvel Comics

Daisy Johnson plays a crucial role in several major Marvel storylines. Her character arc illustrates her growth and increasing significance within the Marvel universe, from a novice recruit to a leader, demonstrating her potential and impact on pivotal events.

Secret Warriors

Daisy rose to prominence in Marvel comics through her involvement in the Secret Warriors storyline. After losing his position as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury went into hiding and assembled a team of lesser-known heroes to combat a Skrull invasion. Fury chose Daisy Johnson to lead this team, called the Caterpillars, due to her earthquake powers and loyalty to him.

The Secret Warriors played a crucial role during the battle against the Skrulls in Times Square. They aided the Young Avengers and the Initiative staff, turning the tide of a losing battle. This event showcased Daisy’s leadership skills and ability to perform under pressure.

After the Skrull invasion, the Secret Warriors’ mission shifted when Fury discovered that HYDRA had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.. The team’s objective was to dismantle HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D., further cementing Daisy’s importance in shaping the Marvel universe.

Infinity

The Infinity storyline tested Quake’s powers and tactical abilities. She was crucial in neutralizing the powerful mutant Magneto by creating a brain vibration that incapacitated him. This occurred during a confrontation between the X-Men, Avengers, and the “Collective”—a being containing thousands of mutant energy signatures.

This event highlighted Daisy’s capabilities and hinted at her potential inclusion in the Avengers. During this appearance, Daisy declared that if she were to join the superhero team, she would adopt the name “Quake,” solidifying her superhero identity.

Secret Empire

The Secret Empire storyline presented one of the most significant challenges for Quake and her fellow heroes. When a Hydra sleeper agent replaced Captain America and seized control of the United States, Inhumans like Quake were imprisoned in containment facilities, a deeply personal issue for her.

Quake played a pivotal role in the Underground resistance, helping to free New Attilan and orchestrating critical attacks on Hydra’s forces. Her leadership and combat abilities were instrumental in the final battle in Washington, D.C., where the heroes united to confront the Hydra-controlled Captain America.

Through these storylines, Daisy has demonstrated her value as both a hero and a leader. Her unique seismic powers, strategic thinking, and unwavering resolve have made her an essential part of some of Marvel’s most significant events. These stories highlight not only Daisy’s abilities but also underscore her potential to take on even larger roles in future Marvel narratives.

Why Quake Should Have a Bigger Role in Marvel

Representation

Daisy Johnson stands as a symbol of representation within the Marvel Universe. She is the first Asian superhero in the main Marvel continuity, paving the way for greater diversity in superhero stories. Chloe Bennet portrayed Quake in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., bringing this character to life, supported by Ming-Na Wen, another Asian-American actress. Maurissa Tancharoen, an Asian-American woman and the show’s co-creator and showrunner, added depth to Daisy’s character through rich storylines and consistent character development.

Character Development

Daisy’s journey from a troubled teenager to a powerful S.H.I.E.L.D. agent exemplifies remarkable growth. Her background, rooted in her Inhuman heritage and complex family history, adds depth to her character. As the daughter of the villainous Mister Hyde and an Inhuman mother, Daisy’s struggle to define herself resonates with many fans. Her transformation from hacker to skilled S.H.I.E.L.D. operative demonstrates her adaptability and resilience.

Daisy’s mastery over her earthquake powers reflects her character’s evolution. Initially, she struggled to control her abilities, but over time, she learned to generate powerful vibrations capable of creating earthquake-like effects. Her journey to understand and accept her powers parallels the personal growth many experience when discovering their strengths.

Crossover Potential

Daisy’s unique powers and rich backstory make her an ideal candidate for crossover events in the Marvel universe. Her involvement in significant storylines such as Secret Warriors and Infinity underscores her importance to the larger Marvel narrative. Quake has already proven her worth alongside the Avengers, playing a pivotal role in defeating powerful enemies like Magneto.

Her leadership skills, honed through her time with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Secret Warriors, position her as a strong candidate to lead future superhero teams. As demonstrated during the Skrull invasion, Daisy’s ability to handle high-stakes situations shows how valuable she can be in large-scale conflicts, which often shape Marvel’s crossover events.

Daisy’s untapped potential in the Marvel Cinematic Universe offers opportunities for exciting future storylines. Her seismic abilities, combined with her expertise in hacking and combat, make her a versatile character capable of contributing to various missions and battles. Expanding Daisy’s role would allow Marvel to explore themes of self-discovery, strength, and leadership through the lens of a multi-dimensional and relatable character.

Quake’s Potential: A Seismic Shift Marvel Can’t Afford to Miss

Daisy Johnson’s journey from troubled youth to formidable superhero reveals untapped potential within Marvel’s universe. With her unique seismic powers, complex backstory, and proven leadership skills, Daisy stands poised to become a pivotal figure in the Marvel landscape. Her appearances in both comics and the MCU showcase her versatility and wide-ranging appeal, signaling that she is more than ready for a deeper exploration.

As Marvel continues to evolve, the inclusion of characters like Daisy Johnson is essential for both representation and storytelling innovation. As an Inhuman of Chinese heritage, Daisy brings much-needed diversity, and her sharp intellect and raw power provide countless narrative possibilities. Elevating her role would not only satisfy longtime fans but also capture the attention of new audiences. The time has come for Marvel to fully embrace Daisy Johnson’s potential, allowing her to shake up the universe in ways we have only begun to imagine.

Call to Action

Marvel, the fans have spoken: it is time for Daisy Johnson to take center stage. Whether through a leading role in major storylines or her own solo series, Quake deserves to rise to prominence in the Marvel Universe. The character is ready, the fans are eager, and the Marvel Universe needs her. Let’s give Quake the spotlight she has earned.

good night lol

“You’re too kind.” “I’m just keeping a promise.”

Secret Invasion Spoilers

Episode 2

Maria Hill is on a mission that’s why we can’t see her

I hope they bring Quake in on this

Fury is right, even if we wanted to help we can’t. Humans can’t get along with each other why does Talos think they’ll get along with Skrulls. Not to mention the discrimination they’d face

Also wasn’t Carol looking for a plant for them? Why is it taking so long?

RHODEYYYY

I love that man and I always will. I love how practical he is

I will always be on Rhodey’s side. He’s the one who’s always done what’s best and hasn’t given me a change to complain

I like that British women

AIN’T NO WAY NICK FURY IS MARRIED

Love that trope in video games where they turn something you can buy at a hardware store into a primary weapon.

Quake’s nailgun, Doomguy’s chainsaw, Gordon Freeman’s crowbar…

Love that shit every fucking time.

It’s just another aspect of putting yourself into the character through diegetic stuff. You can go buy that nailgun, you can get a crowbar at your local hardware store and be that guy.

These aren’t just hard-ass dudes. Their original purpose, in these games inceptions, were that they were meant to be you. YOU, the player, are slaying monsters.

To any among you who do not know what the glories of Quake are, or perhaps even Quake Champions, Perhaps this would entice you to download the free game.

Hmm?

Is it working?
