She shot up, taking in deep breaths, her hand traveled down her stomach slowly, expecting to see a big pool of blood. She awaited for the sharp pain to hit her, but there was none. It wasn't dark, it wasn't hot. She wasn't in the framework.

''Jemma?'' Yoyo said, instantly grabbing her attention. Jemma fell back onto the chair with a smile and breath of relief. She wasn't dead. Jemma got up slowly and glared at Yoyo gratefully.

''You saved me...'' She whispered, still filled with shock.

''What happened?'' Yoyo asked just as the other agents joined and surrounded Jemma.

''Well, the most recent event to happen was me getting shot and almost dying. You unplugged me from the framework right before I died, just as I was taking in my last breath...'' Jemma explained, her voice was full of fascination, but her glare then turned more serious. ''I need go to back in there.'' She said.

Yoyo shook her head, an apologetic look on her face, ''I was about to unplug Daisy too, but you got me by surprise. We can't plus you back in, Simmons. The Zephyr is low on energy and we can't land yet.'' Yoyo explained, though she wished there was some other way to let the girl back in. ''Did you manage to get everyone to remember?''

''I don't know.'' Jemma answered truthfully, ''We still had Mace and Coulson to find before I woke up. Fitz has been kidnapped by the killer android who happened to shoot me.'' She said, and Yoyo stared back at her in surprise. ''And Mack?'' She questioned with a bit of hope in her tone.

Jemma nodded, ''We've got him. But, it might be hard for him to leave...'' She said, deeply saddened by the situation that Mack was in. After moments of explained it all to Yoyo, they fell silent. ''I have to go back in there, Aida is capable of a lot. I need to get Fitz back.'' She said, almost begging.

Yoyo looked down, Simmons was right, she had to get them all back. Even if it meant risking the Zephyr running out of power that could potentially get them killed if someone was following them. ''Okay.'' Yoyo finally said, helping Jemma back into the machine that would transport her consciousness back into the framework that they all knew was hell.

XXXXX

Coulson continued questioning the team until they had arrived back to Mack's house. Mack met Coulson with a handshake, but Coulson still could not remember everything. All he had so far was short flashes of memory about each single one of them.

''Come on.'' May said, motioning for him to step inside the house as he eyed Ward up and down.''

''Okay.'' Coulson replied, taking his eyes off of Ward. He was afraid of him and only get negative vibes tied to him.

''I guess we all know what Mace's biggest regret is.'' Daisy began and the whole team nodded, except for Coulson of course.

''Who is the Mace guy?'' He whispered into May's ear, who wanted desperately for Coulson to remember.

''The same guy who took your position as the director of SHIELD.'' May replied, giving Coulson a sideways look.

''He regrets not being inhuman, right?'' Mack asked, which was pretty obvious. ''But where the hell do we find him when HYDRA wants all the inhumans gone?'' He questioned and they all fell silent, thinking deeply about it. He should be in hiding. But where?

After hours of discussing and trying to estimate the area Mace could be in, a soft knock came from the door and it opened without an answer. ''Jemma?'' Daisy said doubtingly before jumping off the chair and running to the girl. She wrapped her in a tight hug as tears streamed from her eyes and down her cheeks. May approached the British girl too, giving her a soft hug once Daisy was done, so did Mack whilst smiling at her.

''But how?'' Daisy asked with happiness and confusion, ''You disappeared right in front of me.''

Jemma smiled, ''Someone is watching over us on the other side. Yoyo unplugged me just in time without even knowing that I was about to die.'' And her face fell serious once more, ''But we need to work fast, the Zephyr is running out of energy and they think that somebody is following them so they can't land.'' She explained and everyone nodded.

''Coulson!'' Jemma said out of surprise, ''I'm so glad to see you, sir!'' She admitted, giving him a quick hug.

Daisy and May explained what was going on and that they were looking for Mace.

''What about Fitz?'' Jemma asked with a worried glance.

Daisy's face fell, ''We know Aida won't hurt him, but Mace could be in danger since it's most likely that he is an inhuman here. We'll get Fitz after, I promise.'' Daisy said, but Jemma wasn't sure that Aida wouldn't hurt him after everything they had done...

''Daisy, we can't just leave Fitz right now-'' Daisy cut her off.

''Simmons, I promise we'll find him after we find Mace. Aida couldn't hurt him, she wants him with her. Trust me.'' She said with an apologetic look before smiling softly and squeezing the girls shoulder.

Jemma nodded, ''Okay.''

May pulled Jemma to the side, ''I know Aida has him but Daisy is right. I don't think she'll hurt him, not from what I've heard.'' She said and Jemma nodded again with a hard look on her face.

''Right, okay.'' She said and walked off, leaving May with the rest of the team. Jemma approached Daisy, ''When do we leave for Mace?''

''First we have to figure out where he is.''

''Why does it keep doing that!'' Hope yelled in frustration from the living room.

''What is it?'' Mack asked gently, leaving the team to it.

Hope sighed loudly, ''The TV won't change the channel!'' She yelled, ''It keeps turning back to some news.'' She angrily said and crossed her arms, clearly unhappy.

''It must be something important if it's on every channel.'' Coulson said out of nowhere so they all went into the same room. The team stood with bank expressions on their faces as the news were filled with HYDRA logos, the saw helicopters flying around a specific area of town with armed cars surrounding the area.

''What's going on?'' Mack questioned himself, motioning for Hope to turn the volume up.

''HYDRA has finally located the inhuman known as the patriot and his hidden base that HYDRA has been attempting to find for a long while.'' The spokesman on the TV said, and the team instantly knew that it was Mace.

''We need to get there.'' May said.

''Mack.'' Daisy called out his name, though she did not want to ask him this, she had to, ''I know you want to spend time with your daughter, but we really need your help...I don't think we can do this without you...'' She said hesitantly, but they truly needed him.

''You're going in there, dad?'' Hope asked with a worried look. Mack knelt down to her eye level and stroked her face gently.

''Hope, you're old enough to stay here alone, I have to do this. A friend needs my help and I cannot lose him.'' He said, and it did not take a lot of convincing words for Hope to nod, ''If you need anything,'' He said and handed her his spare phone, ''Call me.''

''Pinky promise that you will be back?'' Hope said, giving Mack her smallest finger.

''Promise.'' Mack said with a soft smile, clasping their fingers together.

''Everyone in the car!'' May said, letting Mack into the front seat as he was going to drive.

''Even me?'' Coulson asked with a shocked expression, May nodded, almost rolling her eyes, and he smiled so widely as if he was a child who had just received a sweet, ''Cool!''

They were more than half way through the city and luckily, Mack knew the directions to the area. Most of the streets were closed so they carefully had to make their way around. They got out a couple of streets away from all of the action.

''We need to split up so HYDRA doesn't see us all swarming in.'' May suggested, and it was a sensible idea, ''Coulson is with me.'' May said and Coulson stepped beside her, not knowing that else to do.

''Ward, you can come with me.'' Daisy said, ''And Simmons with-'' Her eyes quickly shot open widely, the British girl was nowhere to be seen. ''Simmons?'' Daisy said a bit louder, looking around in attempts to find the girl.

''I told everyone to get inside the car...'' May said, completely lost.

''Oh no...'' Daisy whispered, coming into the realization...

Simmons was going after Fitz on her own...


Did you expect Jemma to be alive? I'm not that mean to kill her off and hurt you like this guys... at least not in this story ;) What do you think? please review! Thank you for reading and all the positivity! :) You guys are the absolute best.

REMEMBER: I began this fanfic before the arc of the framework actually started, so this is not following anything that happens in the show... I decided to write it from a couple of shots of them in the framework that were displayed at the end of the LMD arc, therefore this is not really what happens in the show! Thanks you all :)
