This story is a way for me, and hopefully others, to make it through till next season. I hope to add in journal entries for each episode of the season, at least one per week. Somewhat of an extension of my other story "Dear Diary."

Enjoy!

Fitz

Bloody christ, this fieldwork might kill me. My heart's been racing ever since I stepped on this plane.

I'm not sure how, but Simmons and I were able to save a man's life today. Well, I do know exactly how, as I helped invent the thing, but I still can't believe it. Mike Peterson would have blown up into a million tiny pieces if we hadn't come through with the Night-Night gun.

What is this intriguing Night-Night Gun, you ask? It's a piece of brilliant technology I invented. Well, Simmons helped. It's a beauty, honestly. And to think I perfected it in mere hours.

Like I said, this fieldwork might kill me. Sure, it might produce some great inventions, but I'm not used to working under so much pressure. I'm used to exams, deadlines, but not actual DEADlines.

But it looks like we've got a good team. Agent Coulson is great, although he has no understanding of how long it normally takes to make a scientific breakthrough. It's a very good thing Simmons and I came through today, because, well, we just might be that brilliant.

I don't know much about Agent May. She seems like a fairly competent pilot, which I'm sure will come in handy. Other than that, it doesn't seem like there's much to her. That's my initial impression, at least.

Agent Ward has got some mad skill. I know sci ops always talk crap about spec ops, but I wouldn't mind being able to do some of the things he does. Unfortunately my brainpower is not always appreciated as much as his skill set.

This Skye character might be joining us for a bit more. She seems pretty interesting, and well, pretty. Not that I was really looking or anything, I know I'm on the job, but it's just a matter of fact that she's attractive. But, more importantly, she has good hacking skills that Coulson thinks might come in handy. We'll see, I guess.

I made it through my first mission and we are already preparing for the second. I'm not really sure what Simmons made me sign up for, but it'll be exciting, to say the least.

Simmons

Wow. That is all I can say at the moment. Just, wow! I knew the field would be exciting, but I never thought that it would be this exciting. Fitz and I helped save a man's life! I don't think that will ever fully register with me.

Fitz was brilliant, of course. I knew he would take well to the field; he just needs to get the hang of it. And so do I, frankly. I'm in for quite an adventure, I know, but I am scared that it's going to be too much for me to handle. Agent Coulson expects a great deal from us and I just hope that we can deliver. I hate to disappoint authority.

Anyways, the team works together well, I think. Agent Coulson and Agent May have worked with each other before, and have been with S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while—it's always good to have seasoned team members. Makes me feel a more taken care of. Ward is a little stand-offish. Can't really read him too well, but is extremely capable.

We're going to start another mission soon to check out an 0-8-4. What's an 0-8-4, you ask? An exciting unidentified object! Which I hope doesn't turn out to be terribly dangerous. I believe Skye is going to be joining us—it will be nice to have her around, I think.

Well, I need to prep in the lab now. Hopefully Fitz isn't hyperventilating about the next mission.
