Hello everybody, I'm Layna and this is my first Agents of Shield story. I am both excited and nervous because I have want this story to work out but its based on Fitzsimmons and I am no genius when it comes to tech and science. You should know how much I love Fitz and Simmons, they belong together but this new character they need to save seems to have Fitz convinced that he will be cut out of Jemma's love life! This story it going to have more than FitzSimmons, it has the whole team and Ward/ Hydra who are trying to open the Monolith and fighting Shield to get what they want. I Really hope you enjoy this story, please review for me and let me know and if you see any grammar mistakes I'm sorry, sometimes I type stories and get so excited to post I don't catch my mistakes. Anyway enough stalling here is my story, I hope you like it, I'm nervous so please let me know if you think it's a good one or not. Thank you ~Layna

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For a moment Fitz had a feeling of satisfaction, of excitement that he figured this out but then it faded away and he was left with a tinge of regret mixed in with the heartbreaking realization of what was about to happen. He had promised her that he would find away even after they found out that NASA could be part of Hydra or at least Will could be hydra. Fitz sighed as he looked at his accomplishment on the screen, he knew it was the right thing to do; save the man who saved Jemma even if it meant letting her go in the process. He looked at the small crumbled remains of the Monolith that was destroyed by Daisy's super strength, soon it would come alive again hopefully they would save a man missing for fourteen years.

"Hey Turbo," The familiar voice of Mack broke Fitz from his thoughts. Fitz had a rocky relationship with much of the team, after his accident he isolated himself and then there was the whole second Shield thing that Mack was a part of. He rebuilt though, his relationship with Jemma after he left, Daisy when she chose the inhuman war and finally Mack and Bobbi who tried to destroy the Shield that he knew as real.

"Hi Mack," He gave him a weary smile, one that showed that something was wrong. Mack furrowed brow clued Fitz in that he had to tell him what was happening. "I figured out the Monolith, I can open it."

"So you are going to save Will Daniels."

"For her, yeah I have to, we cant just leave him stranded there."

"She chose you Fitz," he reminded the younger agent.

"We were never meant to be," Fitz stood up and scooped up the rubble in his hand.

"Fitz…"

"No, I've excepted it, we were together in the academy and I loved her then, we got here and things changed."

"You still love her Fitz, we all know."

"Of course I do but look what's happened, I almost lost her to some alien disease and was to afraid to tell her my feelings, them I told her that I loved her right before I volunteered myself to die."

"You proved to her that you'd do anything for her."

"No I ran away from the probability that she wouldn't say it back, and then she left me, and when she came back it was fighting all the time."

"But you patched that up, you even had the courage to ask her out."

"And then she got sucked up by this damn stone," He threw the rocks back in the container in his aggression, some missing that scattered on the floor.

"But she's back and she told you that she loves you, and she kissed you or did you forget that you told me that."

"She also told me that she loved HIM!" Fitz hit his knuckles on the screen that displayed the picture of the man who had found his way into Jemma's heart.

"Fitz…"

"I have to go find her and tell her the "good" news." Mack watched as the wounded man stormed out in search of Jemma.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jemma sat with Coulson; she had found this man to be a second father figure to her and though she had times of doubt with him, he always seemed to turn out okay. They sat in the rec. room going over the new gadgets that she was brewing up. Fitz should be there with them but tensions were wearing a little thin ever since he claimed that they were cursed. She wanted nothing more than to put his mind at ease but Fitz was stubborn and also she still had that aching in her heart over Will, he had been there for her as she battled through that strange land and they had become closer.

"Fitz has created a stronger icer; it has a longer knock out time, and this one stuns people when thrown into the room, actually its genius really, of course Fitz designed it so it was bound to be genius and…"

"Jemma," She stopped her rant and looked up at Coulson who was reading her the whole time. He knew she had a lot going on and he was no fool, he saw what her and Fitz had become and he had also heard what happened in the lab only four days ago.

"Sorry, I was rambling wasn't I?" She let out a nervous laugh as she set down the stunner.

"Jemma, how are you going, with all the craziness I haven't been able to ask you."

"Honestly this all so confusing sir, I mean working with Price who was working with a hydra agent, worrying about Will who could be on Hydra's side, and trying to get back to normal."

"I know this is weird, trying to figure it all out…"

"Jemma," Fitz walked into the room, tablet in hand over to the two who stood at his sudden entrance. "I can reopen the Monolith," He got straight to the point. As soon as he said the words he waited, waited for Jemma to react or say something.

"We can't" was not what he expect but that was what came out of her mouth and then she disappeared out of the room. Confusion hit both Coulson and Fitz as they were left alone but it only took Fitz a second to get over the shock and confusion and follow her out.

"Jemma wait!" He yelled as he ran to catch up to her. She stopped dead in her tracks but didn't turn around she didn't want him to see the tears in her eyes. "Jemma, what the hell?"

"We can't open that portal again Fitz," She said wiping away the tears before whipping around to face him.

"What do you mean Jem, you wanted to save Will, and I spent countless nights going over all this information to help you accomplish that and now you don't want to?" He was a little livid and it showed, he didn't want to yell at her but she was being unreasonable.

"Of course I want to save him Fitz, you know that I…"

"Love him," He finished her sentence and the words left a terrible taste in his mouth.

"We can't open the portal Fitz, Hydra has been trying for centuries to open that door and see on the other side, but they don't understand the monster on the other side."

"But what about Will, you think he can out run this monster forever, it is after him and who knows what will happen next?" He didn't know why he was fighting to save this man, maybe in the back of his mind his conscience was telling him he couldn't leave this "World Hero" stranded. He watched as Jemma shifted her weight from one foot to the other as she weighed her options. "Jemma, you have a heart of gold, you proved it the day you jumped out of a plane and the day you dragged me out from the bottom of the ocean." His heart broke seeing her cry like that."

"I couldn't leave you down there," Her voice small as she looked at her shoes.

"And you won't leave him there, it's you Jemma, I know you want to save him." He tilted his head so that he could see her face. "Now I found a way to open this portal, the rubble with the right chemical components can help us get there but we have to go back to the underground room where we went to last time and we have to get the whole team together for this."

"Okay," She agreed stepping towards him.

"I'll go get Mack, Bobbi and Lance," He quickly stepped back, a fake smile displayed on his face.

"Okay,I'll go get Coulson May and Sky… I mean Daisy. We are going to get him back." She smiled turning on the balls of her feet and making her way down the hall. Fitz's smile faded as he watched her make her way to the platform, this was going to be harder than he expected.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Elsewhere Ward sat at a table with the man who tried to kill him but had quickly made allies with him. Their research had brought up everything they hoped, with a little "help" from a computer hacker who broke through Daisy's firewall they accessed the files of FitzSimmons' plans to bring back the portal.

"I have set men up on the permitted, we don't move in until they extract Will Daniels out, we need to be sure this is the real deal."

"Of course, once this happens, we will have to act quick starting with this inhuman girl," Malick expressed his concern about Daisy.

"I'll kill two birds with one stone Sir, Lash is going to take her out and in the process we can take down Melinda May.

"Very good, and the others will take care of Coulson and his other men so that we can get to the source of genius, the one they call FitzSimmons.

"The extraction of FitzSimmons will be my job, an easy task, they are the weakest of the group."

"Then the plan is set and we shall put it into action tomorrow, you've done good Ward, I knew you would come to your senses."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Jemma sat in the kitchen with a cup of tea in her hand, it was almost two in the morning but she couldn't sleep. So many emotions raced through her at what was going to happen later today that it left her dizzy.

"Mind if I come in," Daisy's voice appeared causing Jemma to jump slightly.

"Of course," She let out a weak laugh. Daisy walked over and poured herself a cup of hot chocolate before sitting across from her friend. The two had been through so much, ups and downs but right now they were stronger, in time of crisis is when you lean on friends the most and with the battle going on they were there for each other.

"So are you ready for today?"

"I don't know if I can answer that," Jemma responded playing with the tag of her teabag.

"We will get him back safely and then you and Fitz can go back to normal."

"What is normal anymore?" She scoffed that the idea of what she once thought was normal.

"It's us, this team, you and Fitz being best friends again or maybe something more, we all know you love him too Jemma."

"But he is right, we are cursed."

"No you're not."

"We tell each other our feelings and something happens and now he is helping me save a man that I have feelings for and its wrong!" She shot up from her chair and paced the floor.

"He is trying to make you happy again."

"And that's just it, he wants me happy and he is helping me by hurting himself, I don't know what to do!" She collapsed on the couch in the room and Daisy followed her. "I've know Fitz forever, he makes me safe but I felt the same way with Will, he saved me and so has Leo, its all just confusing! I know as soon as we get Will back there is no more normal, that flies right out the window." Daisy wrapped her arms around her friend and let her cry. Little did they know that Fitz stood outside the door listening, he didn't want to hurt her more, to complicate things so he planned it in his head, as soon as they brought Will back for tests he would ask for a transfer out, he couldn't hurt her anymore and he couldn't make her chose.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
