The zephyr lands at base and everyone begins unloading. Coulson is still sitting in the lab staring at the computer, May walks up behind him. "What's wrong Phil?" May looks at the computer and turns to look at Coulson. "Is this accurate?" Coulson looks up at May and slightly nods his head. "Well, I guess it could be worse."

As if May's words were all he needed to hear, Coulson snaps out of his stupor. "Very funny." Looking arounds as if he'd been asleep for a few hours, "Where'd everyone go?"

"They got everyone moved to base. You going to join?" May begins walking away.

"May, this needs to stay between us… please."

"I won't talk, but you may need to warn the girls."

They both walk off the zephyr and into base. Agents are running all over the place. "Piper?!" Coulson shouts over the commotion.

Piper stops in her tracks and rushes over to May and Coulson, "Sir, the prisoner is causing quite a commotion downstairs. The interns are kind of freaking out. Agent MacKenzie's got it under control… I believe."

"If it's the prisoner downstairs that's causing commotion then why is everyone running around up here?" May gives Piper a glare indicating her desire for an answer quickly.

Piper takes the hint, "Uh, the girl woke up and after seeing Agent Fitz's wounds it got everyone a little freaked I guess."

Coulson walks over to the panel by the door and pushes a few buttons. He waits until he hears the speaker click on, "Agents it is imperative that you remain calm and behave as the highly trained agents that you are."

At his words, everyone begins walking and quietly talking to each other. Piper nods to her superior officers and leaves down the hallway.

"Maybe I should go check on the prisoner?" Coulson looks at May quizzically.

Knowing what Coulson is asking May responds, "Yeah, I'll go with you."

"Erickson! Be careful with her. We don't want any more accidents!" Simmons walks behind the gurney. Daisy is standing on the side still clinging to the girl's hand. They walk down to medical and set up the room, the interns swarming around causing Simmons to get frustrated once again, "Did any of you see Agent Fitz's arm, that was caused by a semi-conscious little girl. If you wake her she will more than likely rip your arm off. Please quiet down and get out!" The interns quickly exit and can be heard down the hall gossiping to other agents about the girls superhuman strength.

"You sure told them, now didn't you?" Daisy laughs at Simmons.

"They're so annoying, why do we need interns anyway. I was getting on just fine without them." She begins checking the child's stats and going over her records.

The girl moans and fidgets against the restraints that Fitz fashioned to her wrists. "Jemma, I think she's waking up. What should we do?"

Simmons looks at Daisy sternly, "Calm down." She grabs another chair and sits opposite Daisy. "Hello, my name is Dr. Jemma Simmons. I've been trying to make you feel better. I know you're probably still a little groggy so I'm going to talk with you until you can open your eyes. My friend Daisy is holding your other hand and she's going to talk to you as well. We don't want you to be scared. You just let us know when you need anything." The girl slowly pulls her arms, almost in slow motion due to the grogginess of waking up. The restraints stop her arms from moving and she groans. "We have your arms in restraints right now because last time you woke up, you kind of hurt my friend Fitz. We just want to make sure you're fully awake and conscious before we take them off." Simmons talks quietly to the girl, the girl seems calm but continues pulling at the restraints.

Daisy squeezes the girls hand, "It's ok, they'll come off soon. Can you open your eyes yet?" The girl stops resisting the restraints and silently squeezes Daisy's hand back.

The girl moans quietly and slowly shakes her head. She opens one of her eyes, but then quickly closes it because of the bright lights. She licks her lips, "Lights… bright," she barely whispers.

"What honey?" Simmons leans in.

"She said the lights are too bright." Daisy motions for Simmons to turn the lights off. "Ok, the lights are off. You can try to open your eyes again." Daisy lightly pushes a piece of hair from the girl's face. The girl winces and quietly cries out. "It's alright sweetie, we aren't going to hurt you. I'm sorry if I scared you. Go ahead and open your eyes."

The girl tentatively opens her eyes one at a time. She looks up at Daisy, recognizes her as the one that almost crushed her, pulls her hand away, and screams. Her scream is loud and Daisy has to hold her hands to her ears. Simmons walks over and gently strokes the girl's arm. This seems to only slightly lessen the volume. Over the screaming Coulson's voice can barely be heard.

"Honey look at me." Simmons places her hands on either side of the girl's face. "No one's going to hurt you anymore. Daisy isn't going to hurt you. We're here to help you. Can you settle down please. Just hear what Daisy has to say." The girl looks into Simmons' eyes, stops screaming, and closes her mouth.

The girl doesn't know why she believes this doctor. She's never seen anyone outside the compound. Her mother had told her her whole life that anyone outside the compound was a threat and had to be exterminated. She knew if her mother were here she would require her to take out the unfriendlies. There was something in this doctor's eyes that told her she was telling the truth. As the doctor lowered her hands from her face she turned to the girl that had wind in her hands and nearly knocked the breath out of her.

Daisy pulled her hands from her ears when she saw the girl turning to look at her. "Hi, my names Daisy. I guess you already knew that. Simmons did just tell you. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm sorry if I did, that voice just said you were supposed to kill us and I couldn't let that happen. Sorry if I scared you." Daisy rambled on as the girl looked at her with those big blue eyes. Daisy thought the girl's eyed looked like the clearest pool she'd ever seen. As if she could jump straight into them and swim under the sun without a care in the world. Finally realizing that she was rambling Daisy stops talking and looks at Simmons for reassurance.

"Honey, can you tell us your name?" Always the thinker Simmons tries to change the subject.

The girl looks up at her quizzically. "Name?"

"What does your mom or other people call you when they want to get your attention."

The girl looks down. "Mostly they call me 'filthy rat'."

Daisy puts her hand over her mouth. Simmons gently places her hand on top of the girl's, "Well I guess we're going to have to come up with a name for you then."

The girl looks up at Simmons and then to Daisy. Daisy removes her hand and smiles, "I'm a master at coming up with new names." The girl shyly smiles back, before lowering her head and biting her lip.

"Sir." Mack looks at Coulson, a hint of fear streaks across his face. "We don't feel comfortable letting the prisoner out of the pod."

Coulson raises his hand to stop Mack's train of thought. "Let me talk to her for a moment."

Mack calls the other agents out and they leave. "Sir, do you need me to stay here?"

May speaks up, "No Agent, you can go see if Daisy and Simmons need any help."

"Yes, ma'am." Mack leaves.

Coulson and May walk into the containment room. Gerushah is screaming and banging on the walls, fire in her eyes. Coulson hits the window, "What do you think you're going to accomplish with this little tantrum? If the serum couldn't get you out, then how do you think you'll be any stronger?"

"Let me out!"

"First, tell me something." Coulson stops talking, it's as if the words he wants to say won't come out. Gerushah stops and looks at him as if daring him to continue.

May doesn't care about Gerushah's stares, "How is it that he is your daughter's father?"

Gerushah's eyes grow incredibly large and she takes a step back. "How did you… when did… who… but I…"

"Enough!" Coulson's found his voice. "Tell me." It wasn't a question or a request it was a command. Gerushah saw the pain, curiosity, and hope flash across his face in those two words.

"It was nearly seventeen years ago. You looked miserable. I began talking with you and learning about how you felt during your last mission. How you had failed your partner and how she had retreated from you." May glares at Coulson, she stops when she sees how pained he looks. "You were my easiest. I've been searching this world to find suitable mates to help me build my army. You produced the most successful heirs." Gerushah's eyes grow big once again, realizing she had slipped.

"Heirs?! As in plural. Where are the others? How many others?" Coulson can't control his anger and feels as though he may be able to take this asgardian on. He slams his hand on the window.

Gerushah looks at him and then at May, "I meant heir. There are no more. It's just the girl. She's been the most promising. That is until you took her from me. I must complete my mission. You must give her back to me and set us free. Now."

"No. How is it that I don't remember any of this?" Coulson looks at Gerushah.

"I have certain abilities, I can make people tell me their deepest thought and I can erase certain events. I was going to take the pained event away for you, but then I saw your potential. I erased your memory of me."

"I remembered you when I saw you, I just couldn't place it."

"That can't happen. I am extremely thorough. You should have no recollection of our encounter."

"Well you're not the first person to mess with my head."

"Let me out."

"No." Coulson steps out of the room.

May looks at the woman, staring her down, willing her to try something. Gerushah sits on the bench, she looks up, fear in her eyes, "You must let me go. I have to go. None of you are safe if I am in here."

"Why?"

"The girl, she has a twin. He was more promising than she. He managed to escape. He wishes to exterminate the inhabitants of this world."

"Why?"

"Because that's what I drilled into them." May steps forward and crosses her arms. For some reason this causes Gerushah to flinch. "I wasn't planning on any of them getting out. I was going to transport them back to my land."

"Half asgardians would not be able to take on full asgardians."

"Not Asgard. That's not where I grew up." Gerushah looks down, as if she can't go on.

May changes the subject. "You wanted the girl to be killed by my teammates, why?"

"That is what she needs to hear in order to become better. She is different than her brother, she needs more…"

"More what?"

"More than I can give her."

"Coulson will give it to her and then we will find the boy, but you will remain here."

Gerushah stands up, the fire back in her eyes. "Let me free. You have no authority to hold me here."

May simply nods at her and walk out of the room. Gerushah throws her arms at the pod window. The door to the pod opens and she walks out, only to realize that she is now locked in the room.
