A/N: A reminder guys... This story occurs after episode 10 of both shows.
"We're touching in 5," Bobbi reminded them.
Skye is still reading about this "Streak" that saves people. Most says that he appears and goes in a blink like viola! She still finds it intriguing how this city have supers. The team have been so busy with the Obelisk and the city to focus on other things.
Right now though, nothing seems to surprise her anymore.
Everyone's silent during the whole trip. No matter how badly Caitlin wants to ask Fitz about everything.
"We've touched down. You guys can come down now."
And they did one by one.
Simmons and May are waiting for them to climb down. Simmons hugged Skye and May gave a smile or something that was close to it.
"Who are they?" May asked, the first to notice that they came back with company. Simmons pulled away from Skye. Realization dawns on her. "Caitlin!" she hugged her. "Oh Jemma, it's been so long," Caitlin returned her hug. "You owe me an explanation" Caitlin tells her. "No. Lots and lots of explanation." she corrects herself after looking around.
The two pulled away. Simmons flashed a smile on Fitz. He gave her a nod.
"Barry this is Jemma Simmons. Jemma this is Barry Allen," Caitlin introduced them. They shook hands. "And this is agent May," Simmons introduced her to the new comers.
"Simmons. Show them around the lab," Coulson commands.
"Sir, it would be my genuine pleasure."
They made their way to the lab.
At the lab...
"This is where I work. We've got everything that you would be needing. Well, more at base but the bus is pretty much packed." Simmons tours them. "Why is Fitz not with us?" Barry asked.
'He just really needs to ask that right?' Jemma says in her head.
"Oh uh um, he said he wanted to be assigned at the garage. He thinks it is for the best. At first I didn't like the idea but since Mac is still recovering, I think it's for the best too." she replied.
Skye then walked into the lab.
"You two owe an explanation. Your city seems to have supernatural happenings. First, a man who turns to steel. Much like Carl Creel." Skye looked over at Simmons for a second. "Except he can duplicate physical properties of anything he touches or touches him," Jemma added. "And then there's this Flash." Skye continues. "I believe you know him, Caitlin." says Skye.
Barry and Caitlin then, tenses up. "He saved me once. No. I correct myself he always saves me and our city." Caitlin answers her.
"Okay. But you still didn't explain anything." Skye pursues.
"I am working for S.T.A.R. labs when the particle accelerator exploded. It turned people- made them meta-humans. Humans that are capable of doing something that the rest of us could not," Caitlin told her.
"Thank you for being honest with me." Skye said which gained a confused look from Caitlin and Barry. "I knew what happened. I was just testing you."
She left.
"What was that all about?" Barry asked.
"She has been through a lot lately. Please try to understand. She's having trouble with people right now after the incident."
They didn't ask for what happened. Based on Skye's actions, they decided that it is best to leave the matter alone and focus at the task at hand.
"So, Donnie Gill, how did he get his ability?" Caitlin asked.
"I believe he got his freezing ability after he got hit by a lightning while trying to shut down his research which is a freezing technology."
"Abilities gained after he was hit by lightning. Right." Barry said.
Caitlin and Barry looked at each other.
"We just need to formulate dendrotoxin that would be strong enough to handle him."
"That's easy!" Caitlin answered way too quickly. She earned a look from Barry and a raised eyebrow from Jemma.
"I mean we just have to double the -"
"But how are you sure that that would not-"
"I think it's just right. I mean, given his body temperature-"
"Guys! Let's just double the effect of the I.C.E.R. and give it a go." Barry said silencing the two of them.
"We're going to need Fitz." Caitlin told Jemma.
"Yeah. I-I'm going to fetch him."
At the garage...
"Ho-how are you Mack?" Fitz asked arranging the tools he needs for fixing his DWARFs not really looking at him.
"I don't really know. It's like a part of me was stolen and replaced by something unimaginable. Something foreign. Something alien."
Fitz looked up to see him in a trance. He was lost again, in his whole little world.
"I was doing things that are against my will. I almost hurt you guys-"
"Don't do that to yourself. Look. Look. What what you did was- what was the word again? I-it was out of your control. You are not to blame for your actions down there. Please stop loathing yourself for something like that"
There was a knock on the door.
It was Jemma.
"Uh Fitz, can I borrow you for a while? We need your help regarding the I.C.E.R."
"Yeah. Yeah Sure." Fitz said still looking at Mack.
Jemma left not really feeling comfortable.
"I'll be back."
With that Fitz took off.
A/N: I'm so sorry for posting just now. I'm terrible at updating. It's just that I'm having so many ideas that are not relating to this story and the shows are great that it's kinda hard to write an au. But anyway, I'll be updating as soon as I can but I'll probably write a oneshot before writing the next chapter. I totally gave a Clintasha moment there between Fitz and Mack.
