Ward started at Aida with wide eyes, she was back again, and that was more than one reason for him to believe that his word in fact, was not real. As soon as Aida and the armed men behind her pulled out their pistols, Daisy was on the ground, with her hands tightly placed on the neatly arranged tiles. All it took was a single quake to send the three figures flying onto the ground.

Daisy groaned on her way back up into a standing position and Simmons instantly took notice.

''Are you okay?'' She asked as they all began running, earning a pained nod from Daisy, who lacked her arm devices that prevented her from hurting herself with her powers.

''You alright?'' Ward asked, truly worried about the state of her. Daisy nodded when they rounded another corner.

''They're behind us.'' Simmons said, taking a small peak around the back of the wall. Daisy's heart skipped a beat and her face dropped, turning completely pale when they took another left, only to reveal a large, bring wall and nothing else. It was a dead end.

''Shit!'' Ward swore, Daisy was about to turn around and run back but it was too late, her worried gaze met with Daisy's once more, but this time, Aida looked more confident because of the one person she had in her possession. It was the young scientist, Jemma was held tightly in a chokehold by one of the two men in black suits. His meaty arms were tightly wrapped around her neck, but she refused to let out a sound that showed her fear, instead, Jemma remained still and completely silent.

Daisy bit her lip, panic was rising inside of her, though she did not want to reveal it. Ward stood a few steps in front of her, unbelieving his eyes at how fast everything had turned, one day he and his partner were all happy, and the other, people were getting killed and shot at.

''What do you want?'' Daisy asked, looking straight at Aida's deadly gaze.

Aida shook her head with a straight face, and for a moment, Daisy expected to see some android features on her. But there was none. ''I don't want to kill you if that's what you're asking.'' she said, and Daisy's heart stopped again.

''What exactly do you want then?'' Simmons asked from behind her, she sounded out of breath and the man dropped her to the ground roughly and pressed his foot onto her shoulder.

''Shut up!'' He snarled loudly, Daisy was about to break off into a run to help her best friend but Aida lifted her gun up, aiming it right at Daisy's stomach.

Simmons groaned from underneath the man, her eyes met Daisy's for a slight moment and Jemma mouthed to her without making a sound that she was fine. The man knelt down and wrapped his hands around Jemma's shoulders before lifting her back up, he twisted one of her arms back, making her stumble forwards, a pained expression jumped on her face, but that pain was nothing compared to what she had already been through.

''I want you to come with us.'' Aida said calmly with a slight smile, which made Daisy want to throw up. She knew that if she was to use her powers, she could possibly hurt Simmons too...Maybe even kill her.

''Why?'' Ward asked, speaking up for the first time. He didn't understand it all completely, but he was speaking in order to protect his Skye, even if she was different now.

Aida sighed, ''You either join my programming or you die, your choice.'' She said and the smile continued lingering on her face. ''You didn't get all of your regrets taken away because you were not hooked into the framework by me, let me fix that for you.'' She explained, tilting her head sideways as if it helped them understand her better.

''What's in it for you?'' Daisy questioned, she stood still and remained cautious, waiting for a chance to appear which allowed them to get out unharmed.

Aida sighed again and rolled her eyes, ''I want to make the lives of people better, so let me help you, there is enough space in the framework for everyone. It's a life with no regrets.'' Se said with a smile, disgusting the three people who hated her.

Daisy shook her head, there was no way she was going to allow that after coming into the framework to get everyone out. This wasn't real...They all had real lives where people needed help and Daisy knew that.

''Fine.'' Aida said, startling Simmons, who remained in between the arms of the muscly man. ''We can go onto the second option, if that's what you desire.''

''No.'' Ward said, ''We will come with you.'' He said with a nod, shocking Daisy, she turned to him only to find an eager look on his face which told her they were going to think of something. Aida smiled before frowning at Ward, leaving him in a worried state, ''Why are you even here, we don't need you.'' She said, her eyes digging into Ward's sharp face, she pulled out a pistol from under her long, cream colored jacket and pointed it at him without any warning.

''No!'' Daisy yelled in protest and jumped in front of him, she couldn't believe her own eyes. She was protecting him...But he deserved the protection after saving her from that bullet before. Aida widened her eyes to pretend that she was surprised, ''We don't need him with us, he's just a program that will never be able to leave the framework because he doesn't exist in the real world.'' She said with a smirk and didn't lower her weapon.

''The only way that we are coming with you is with him.'' Daisy protested again and earned yet another smile from Aida.

''But you do know what happens if you don't come, right?'' She asked, ''It doesn't matter if you want him to come, I can kill him and you will be forced to come if you don't want to die.''

''We can make it a lot harder for you.'' Simmons spoke, making Aida instantly turn around as if she had forgotten that the scientist was there.

''You.'' Aida pointed at Jemma, ''We are going to discuss some issues before we hook you up into the machine and wipe out all of your regrets.'' She put on a frightening look.

Jemma held her ground by keeping her head high and voice stern, ''If it's about Fitz then please do know that I'll get him back, no matter what it takes.'' She said. Her voice as serious as she had ever been. Aida laughed and pointed to the finger her ring was on, ''Oh, is that so? I don't think you will ever be getting him back.''

''We already woke up with out biggest regrets wiped out.'' Daisy said and pointed out the obvious. Ward wasn't dead, making her regret vanish, he was alive and well, and Daisy had wanted that for a long time. Simmons had sacrificed herself-or at least her avatar before they came into the framework- and ended up dead... which was another regret gone. What exactly was Aida going to wipe out again?

''You think I will only wipe out your biggest regret? No, I've already done that.'' Her deadly voice began, ''I will delete every single regret you have ever had, even if it was the slightest one and you don't even regret it now. It will all be wiped out.''

''That will effect our memories,'' Jemma said, shaking her head in disapproval, ''We won't remember anything.''

''Oh, don't say anything. Just not the bad stuff, for example, I know you have regretted joining the SHIELD Academy once before quickly changing your mind and saying it was the best thing that's ever happened to you.'' Aida said with a straight face, it was clear that she wanted to smile badly again to show that she was in control now, ''But that still counts as a regret, once I do that, you will no longer be a part of SHIELD; you will just be you, Jemma Simmons, who has never met Leopold Fitz.'' Aida finished the last bit of her explanation with a smile before turning her attention back towards the other two.

''We're coming with you,'' Ward said with a shake of his head. He did not have an idea, but it was better than seeing his Skye getting killed right in front of him.

Aida nodded before looking at Daisy, ''Good. And,'' She began again, her eyes meeting Daisy's low gaze, ''remember that him coming along is your last wish.'' She said right when a van pulled up behind them. A man opened the back door of the blue van, he was wearing a black suit, which was an indicator that he was working for Aida.

''Get in.'' She said coldly to them both, whilst the man and his partner dumped Jemma into the back of the van harshly, making her hit the metal flooring with her head and shoulders.
