"We have to get her back!" Elena rushed behind Mack.
"I know." He said, face blank.
"We can't do it alone."
"I know."
"We also have to tell May!"
Mack stopped, and turned to the brunette. "I know. Just. . .slow down, please." Elena muttered a few colorful words underneath her breath as Mack walked away again. She then followed him to the numerous screens.
Mack nodded to Jemma, and she pressed a few buttons. A screen with May and Coulson popped up. They were sitting down on what the group believed to be a bed.
"Did you guys find him?" May asked, a small, hopeful smile on her face. Jemma nodded with a grin.
"Yes, he is resting and will wake up in only a few hours." She answered. May let out a sigh of relief.
"Where's Daisy?" Coulson looked like he was on his death bed. Though, really, he almost was.
A tense silence filled the air, until Mack stepped forward. "Kasius. He. . .He came and took her."
Despair and worry washed over Coulson's features. "No. No no no no." He started clambering up from his seat while May lurched forward to stop him.
"Calm down, Coulson. You need to calm down." She soothed. Coulson took a deep breath, taking a moment to think.
"Simmons, when Fitz wakes up. . .can you find me a new cure?" He asked, surprising everyone.
"A-A new. . .cure? But sir, I thought-" Jemma began to sputter.
"Yeah, well, that was before Daisy was alone with that freak." Coulson sighed. "Please, Jemma."
All eyes were turned to her. She had a small, unsure and nervous smile. "Of course Sir. As soon as Fitz wakes up, we will start."

Daisy's brain felt like someone replaced it with fluff and fuzz from a pillow. Groaning, she began to sit up, rubbing her eyes. Looking around her, she let out an annoyed huff.
She was in that dang room again.
"Give yourself a few moments, please. It isn't good to get up fighting so quickly." Taryan stepped out of the shadows, like the weird, cliche villain he was.
Daisy launched herself up, glaring at him. "You know I can get out of here, right?"
He let out a chuckle. "Ah, yes. It was rather quite amazing, really. But unfortunately, I've made it stronger, so it can contain you."
"Yeah well, I got stronger, too. A lot stronger." She prepared to quake herself out of there, but when she tried, nothing happened.
"You're talking about your fight with, er. . .Talbat? Was that his name? Anyways, he isn't important." Taryan continued talking as if everything was perfectly fine. Though, for him, everything was finely perfect. "I saw you fight him, and you did superb!"
She couldn't get out.
She couldn't get out.
Daisy was sure if she had her powers, the room would be trembling like her hands.
"What. . . ?" She held her panic at bay so she could think clearly. "Why. . .what did you do?"
"I already told you; you're mine." Her stomach rolled. Mack and the others were right; she should've stayed and come up with a better plan.
•-*-*-*-*-•
Fitz's eyes flew open in a moment of confusion and panic. That didn't feel very long? He wondered, though really, he had no sense of time while frozen. He looked around, thoroughly confused with the familiar ship.
The scientist sat up, but froze when he saw a familiar sight.
And gosh, was she beautiful.
"Jemma?" Fitz timidly asked. "You guys found me? Are we -are we in the future?!"
Jemma's laugh was light and pretty, like little bells. "No, Fitz. Not anymore." At his even more bewildered expression, she continued. "It's a long story, one that we can explain after getting something for you to eat."
"I died?!" Fitz shrieked. "And now a blue alien has Daisy because she supposedly destroyed Earth?! And Coulson is dying?!"
Mack let out a puff of breath. "Yeah, basically."
"How do you guys sound so, so. . .calm?!"
"We lived through it." Elena shrugged, Jemma nodding in agreement.
"Fitz, I know you just woke up, but. . .we need your help. Coulson wants us to find a different cure to save him, so we can then save Daisy." Jemma begged.
"Yes, yes of course! But can I please have at least an hour to take all this in?" Fitz asked.
"Of course!" She beamed. "You know where to find me when you're ready."

"Now, I know last time you made your statement quite clear of who's side you're on, but I'm giving you one more chance." Taryan clasped his hands behind his back. "Will you join me, and become what you deserve to be?"
"Go. To. Hell." Daisy spat. He sighed, his face crestfallen.
"I knew you'd say that. But oh well. I will convert you to righteousness." Taryan reached out a hand to stroke her face, but Daisy swatted it away. "You just need to be broken in beforehand. We will start simple. No food, no water, no sleep, and no time."
Daisy lunged at him, but he flickered away before she could reach him. She slammed onto the ground, and growled with frustration. She really hated blue aliens.
