One of the SHIELD doctors came into the room, waking up Fitz, who fell asleep on the chair beside Jemma's bed. ''Agent Fitz...'' The doctor whispered, tapping his arm desperately. Fitz mumbled something underneath his breath before shooting his eyes open.

''I'm so sorry.'' He said apologetically, he looked around the room and realized that this was not the place where he was supposed to fall asleep.

''I have good news.'' The doctor announced with a smile, Fitz scrunched his nose, suppressing a yawn that was threatening to escape him, though he stayed quiet, allowing the doctor to continue. ''Miss Simmons is allowed to leave today. Her health condition has been monitored for a while now and she's all good to go.'' The doctor said instantly earning a smile from Fitz, who clasped his hands in a sort of clap way.

''Great, thank you.'' Fitz said, his smile still hadn't faded away as he slowly and gently shook Jemma out of her sleep. ''Jemma...Jemma wake up.'' He whispered a few times until he finally managed to get a reaction back from her.

She jumped up with great speed, almost knocking Fitz off his feet who screamed in surprise. ''What was that for!'' He yelled out of control. Jemma took a few deep breaths as she slowly wiped away the sweat beads away from her forehead.

''Sorry.'' She whispered, clutching Fitz's hand tightly.

''It's okay, what happened?'' He asked, slightly concerned at her reaction. Jemma shook her head in denial.

''No, no it's nothing.'' She simply said and waited for Fitz to speak up.

''Well,'' He began with a smile on his face again, ''You're allowed to leave now, Jem.'' He fianlly announced her long awaited news.

Jemma couldn't hold her smile back, she was eager to finally have some proper time with Fitz and the team, and also to work. She's missed the lab and everyone in it.

They happily left the medical room that she has been in for a few days now, the smell of the playground's hallways was different, that's almost the only smell her nose has missed. They walked hand in hand, but Fitz had to break apart once his phone started ringing.

''Sorry,'' He said while he slowly unhooked their arms. Reaching for his pocket, he smiled at Jemma one last time before he finally answered the call. ''Oh, Dave.'' Fitz said in surprise as he didn't expect the man to call him so soon, ''What is it? Yep, yep you can ask me anything since you now, you helped Jemma and altogether SHIELD.'' He announced, Jemma started at him with confusion in her eyes, wondering what Dave was asking for. ''Oh, definitely!'' Fitz said to the phone as Jemma heard Dave chuckling over the other end.

Fitz placed his phone in his back pocket and relaxed his tensed up body.

''What did he ask for?'' Jemma asked, eyeing him carefully.

Fitz made a weird face at her, Dave's request was fairly simple, ''He asked us both to join him for a coffee in about two hours.''

Jemma put on her confused face one more time, ''Why?''

''Just to say thanks for believing him. I should be the one buying him that coffee after what he's done so I will definitely go.'' He said while he slowly started strolling through the hallway's of the playground towards his room with Jemma right by his side.

''Well, since he asked us both to go, I will be joining you!'' Jemma announced happily and sighed, for a while, she wished it was just Fitz and her going to get coffee.

Fitz clasped his hands together with a smile, ''Great. I will just go and get changed.'' He announced, remembering that he hasn't changed his clothes even once since Jemma's and Daisy's incident.

He walked silently to his room where he bumped into Mack. ''Slow down, Turbo.'' Mack said jokingly as he chuckled at the use of Fitz's nickname on the right time.

''Sorry, sorry, sorry!'' Fitz repeated and walked around Mack as fast as he could. Then, he stopped, clasping his hand's together again, he turned to face Mack, ''Actually, will you tell Coulson that Jemma and I are going to get coffee with Dave?''

Mack looked at him, his facial expression was almost blank with a hint of confusion, ''Sure, but why are you going to meet him?'' Mack asked.

''I told him he could ask me anything since you know, he prevented Jemma from getting hurt more. I feel like I owe him something so he asked me if we could get coffee.'' Fitz replied and started walking towards his room before Mack could let out another word.

Fitz put on a fresh, navy suit with a white shirt and navy pants before he left his room to meet Jemma, who was most likely ready if it was up to him to decide. He was right, Jemma was right around the corner, with her black jeans and a white and a black shirt which Fitz found to look good on her.

''Lets go.'' Fitz said, trying to hide his smile.

''You can smile, Fitz.'' She said, seeing right through him. He's never mentioned the fact that she was beautiful, he was too embarrassed but Jemma knew what and how he felt. They wrapped their arms around each other as they took the first step outside of the playground, they intended on taking a bus, but they took a taxi instead.

''There he is.'' Fitz said as he pointed towards a figure in the distance who sat alone at a table. Jemma nodded, she felt her body go tense once the memories came flashing back to her. She remembered Dave's cold hands on her beaten skin as he unbuttoned her shirt slowly. She shook her head, getting rid of the nasty thoughts, reminding herself that Dave had no better choice in which it wouldn't involve him beating her.

''Hello.'' Dave greeted them with a smile, though his tone sounded kind of cold to Jemma. She brushed it off, not thinking any further about it. Fitz pulled out a chair for her, which she gratefully sat on before he pulled out a chair for himself beside his Jemma.

''Hello.'' Fitz and Jemma said in unison. They then noticed three cups of coffee placed on the table which Dave offered to them kindly right after he took one for himself.

''Thank you, Dave.'' Jemma said, accepting the coffee with a smile, so did Fitz.

''No.'' Dave said, taking in a deep breath while he did his best to direct his gaze elsewhere away from Simmons, ''Thank you for believing me, I would have felt super guilty if you haven't...'' He admitted while he turned his gaze down.

Fitz nodded, ''It's okay, you did what you have to do, that was the best decision you could have made.'' He said gratefully, earning a smile form Dave who just took a sip of coffee. Jemma instantly followed his actions, taking a sip from the warm cup. Fitz fiddled with it, not knowing how to continue the conversation that was getting quieter each second. ''So,'' Dave finally spoke up, breaking the silence, ''You two are pretty close?''

Fitz nodded, ''Yeah.''

A weird grin formed on Dave's face, ''Cute.'' He said while he took another sip of his coffee. ''Anyway,'' He spoke up again, his tone changed into a more cold one and so did the look in his eyes, his next words confirmed his coldness, ''I had enough of this.''

Fitz and Jemma had a confused look on their faces while Dave reached for his pocket slowly. Suddenly, Jemma's gaze began to get blurry as she shifted in and out of consciousness.

''Jemma?'' Fitz exclaimed once he saw her body moving from side to side as if she was about to pass out.

''Finally...'' Dave whispered and Fitz turned to him with a mad look on his face.

Before Fitz could get a word out, Jemma's body fell forward, she almost knocked her head into the table but Fitz caught her just in time. ''What did you-'' He was suddenly cut off by waves of dizziness in his vision right after he felt a prick in his neck. Slowly and weakly, Fitz managed to turn around, his eyes gaze locked in with an older woman before darkness consumed him.
