If you die, I'm going to kill you!

He entered the old factory ahead of her as she prepared to go in with the beta team through the other side. He radioed her

"Keen, Team Alpha in place. we're going in".

"Roger that. Team Beta in stand by." she answer in a official voice, before saying "stay alive, Ressler. If you die, I'm going to kill you".

"Don't worry about me, babe, I'm a though one."

As he said that and went radio silent, she turned to order her team of 4 men when the building exploded behind her.

"no!" She screamed, tears in her eyes immediately as she positioned herself with her team to go inside.

She entered the building and felt the warm breath of the fire that had started with the explosion on the top floor. "Don't you die on me, Donald Ressler" she said to herself, as she and her men got closer and closer to the place where it started.

They entered in a room full ablazed, with heavy machines completely destroyed on the floor, creating dangerous spikes and obstacles.

"Ressler!" she screamed, her voice failing. "Ressler!"

She saw some of his men unconscious on the floor and ordered hers to check on them as she continued. he must be here somewhere.

"Ressler!" please don't be dead, please don't, please…

"Keen?" she heard the faint call from behind her, to the right, and she ran towards it, finding him on the floor, his leg under a heavy piece of machinery. He had bruises all over his face, but he was alive.

She ran to him and kissed him before he could say anything.

"I'm gonna kill you!" she shoved him, lightly, tears running down her face.

"Hey, I'm not dead! besides, how could I have known there was a trip wire here?"

"Can you stand up?"

"No. Listen, you gotta follow the lead, the suspects must've left from behind."

"To hell with them." she said, and he gave her a disapproving look. always a boyscout. she turned to her radio and ordered her men to pursue the lead.

"ok, happy?"

"they need a leader."

"Coulson can do it"

"They need you, Liz."

"You need me. Now, c'mon, I'll try lifting it and you move your leg, ok? 1, 2…"

He observed her as she did more than she could to lift that machine to save him.
