I watch as Fitz walks into Donnie's room.

"Oh, no." Donnie says shocked. He freezes.

"That's what you're trying to power, a bigger version of the ice machine?" Fitz figures out.

"You weren't supposed to see this." Donnie says obviously.

Fitz walks deeper into the room closer to the device and Donnie.

"This is very, very dangerous, okay? You can't have this here. You have to turn it in to Agent Weaver." Fitz says hoping he will do that. But he doesn't realize the Donnie isn't working alone. He is working with the kid Seth. He is in the corner of the room holding the ionized air cannon gun and it is pointed at Fitz. I didn't want this part to happen, but it had to if things were going to turn out alright.

"You weren't supposed to see this." Seth repeats. Seth fires the gun, and it hits Fitz sending him crashing into a chest of drawers and down to the floor. Seth puts the gun down and focuses on Donnie. "We need to go." Seth gathers things from the lab table while Donnie stands frozen. "Come on!" Donnie starts to move as Seth walks out the door.

Seth talking on a cellphone standing outside next to a truck. In the bed of the truck is the device from Donnie's room. I can see them.

"No, no. No, that's not the issue. Look, Donnie and I have the device ready to sell, a-and we solved the power problem, but, uh, look, we-we-we ran into some trouble." Seth says to him.

Ian Quinn is the funder behind this project he is planning on funding it. He is in his private jet.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.'s looking for us now." Seth says.

"Seth, what did I say was the most important aspect of this deal?" Quinn says. I believe Seth is using Donnie and Donnie just wanted a friend.

"That nobody know about it." Seth deflates.

"Right." Quinn says. "Well, now the deal's gonna have to change. This is an unfortunate situation you've gotten us into, Seth. Where are you?"

"We're – We're hiding out at a parking garage near the Academy." Seth says wanting the deal to go through still. "There's checkpoints set up all around. We're boxed in."

"Well, it looks like I'll be turning around." Quinn threatens. "Sorry we couldn't do business."

"No, no, wait! M-Mr. Quinn, please." Seth begs. "Can you send a chopper or something to come and get us? Look, believe me, it's worth it."

"Prove it, Seth." Quinn says. Wanting to see the destruction.

"What do you mean?" Seth asks confused.

"A demonstration." Quinn says deviously. "I want to see what I'm paying for in action, right there, at S.H.I.E.L.D."

"And then you'll come and get us?" Seth questions naïvely.

"I wouldn't be able to resist." Quinn lies.

Seth hangs up.

My scene quickly cuts to Quinn, and he is still in his jet.

"The deal's a no go. Let's turn around, go back to the Seychelles." Quinn says. Just like I suspected.

"Copy that, sir." The pilot says.

My vision ends and I see the boys approach the parking garage. Well, it's show time.

The whole time Seth was talking on the phone Donnie was fiddling with the device. Seth hands something to Donnie.

"Are you ready for this, Donnie?" Seth asks still thinking he has a chance. Donnie says nothing, just looks at him a moment then goes back to work. "Hey, we've come this far."

Both Seth and Donnie are putting on jackets.

"Maybe it's too far." Donnie says thinking twice. Yes! There is a chance I can still get through to him.

"We're in this together. You and me against the world, right? How many times have we said we want a chance to do something incredible? Well, this is it. And it comes with a ton of money. Come on. Say something." Seth tells him lying.

"I'm – I'm nervous. The – the prototypes are harmless, but out in minutes. But this? We haven't run virtual simulations. At this size, with the new power source, it's not – it's not safe." Donnie says finally thinking this through.

"Donnie, you need to grow a pair. All right? Now you can't bail on me now. We have once chance to impress Mr. Quinn, and now he's our only way out. We can't turn back after what we did back there." Seth tells him.

"What – what – what you did. You knocked Agent Fitz unconscious." Donnie reasons

"He found us out. And it was your idea to draw him here to fix your damn power source. Our plan has worked so far, Dannie, and so will this." Seth tries to reassure them.

I walk out of the shadows.

"You're wrong Seth. Quinn is not coming." I tell them.

"Who are you and how long have you been there?" Seth asks after he jumps at my presence.

"Who I am doesn't matter. I've been here for your whole conversation. Donnie you are different right?" I ask. He nods. "You think Seth is your friend?" I ask another question.

"Of course, I am, you dumb bitch" Seth says.

"I wasn't asking you." I say unfazed. "I was asking Donnie."

"Yeah, he's, my friend." Donnie says.

"Are you sure? Because he was planning on taking all the money and placing all the blame on you." I tell him. "But here you have a decision. You hand over the device and you can not only save you supposed friends' life, but you will end up making a lifelong friend. One who will actually go to bat for you. He will protect you. You would go to the sandbox to work and fall in love and start a family with a woman working there. You have so many chances. But it all comes down to this decision."

"How do you know all this?" Donnie asks sceptically.

"Well, you are different in your own way. I am different in the fact that I can see the future." I say.

"Prove it." Seth says.

"Well, I did. I beat you here. How could I have done that if I didn't know." I say to him. "If you turn that machine on you will kill Seth and regret it. Ian Quinn is long gone. You will get to go to the sandbox but not to work. You will be there as a prisoner. You will regret this decision."

He just stops and thinks. He then walks away from the machine.

"What did you do, Donnie? That was our payday." Seth yells at him.

"No, you made the right choice Donnie." I tell him walking over to him.

I take Seth's phone and text Grant telling him where we are. Seth tries to run but get's knocked out by a pole I placed earlier.

Donnie laughs. "Did you do that?" He asks.

I just wink at him and wait for the team. "I will explain to them about your mistake. I expect you to do all your tests and get to the sandbox in the next few weeks. Hold on to your plans and designs I know they will love them there." I explain to him.

The bus flies over. The team walks out. Grant runs over to me. He hugs me to his chest tightly.

"I was so worried about you. Why would you run off like that?" He asks me.

"I had to. I told you to do everything to save the children's lives. This was me for filling that. I had to save his life." I say quietly to him. I speak louder for the team to hear. "Seth was using Donnie to get money off Ian Quinn. He wanted Donnie's ability to create devices. Donnie here was manipulated into cooperating. I believe he will make an amazing S.H.I.E.L.D. agent under the right mentorship. I do hope we will give him another chance to prove himself."

"You know this?" Coulson says.

"I do. I know he will be amazing." I say smiling at him as I see Donnie's future set in stone. He will be spending his last few weeks before testing out of the Academy on the bus with us, with Fitz as his mentor.

"Seth will be heading to the sandbox. That is not something you can get him out of." Grant tells me.

"I know. I wasn't going to try." I look over at Seth. Just as he turns on the machine. The storm starts almost immediately. "Time to welcome the next day of forever." I yell over the storm at Donnie.

Donnie runs over and breaks the machine. He gets zapped. A couple of minutes later Agent Weaver comes over to us. Grant arrest Seth.

"What is your plan with Donnie?" Fitz asks Weaver.

"Well, we will have to expel him." Weaver says sadly.

"He can finish his training under Fitz. If that is alright with you Fitz?" Coulson ask him.

"Yeah, yeah of course. I would love that." Fitz says at first shocked then excited.

"You knew this would happen, didn't you?" Grant says.

"Yeah, I might have. I also know Donnie will flourish under yours and Fitz's guidance." I say.

"What will happen to Seth?" Donnie asks. Still happy about getting to train under Fitz.

"He will go to the sandbox. But not as a researcher." I tell him.

We all head back to the bus and get on. We all sit in the lounge area. Donnie sits by a window. He touches the window, and it freezes over. He looks at me shocked. I smile at him knowingly. He smiles back. Grant comes sits next to me and pulls me into his side.

"What are you smiling about?" He asks me.

"I think Donnie just found his place for a little while. I think he also realized why you are going to be training him." I tell him.

"Oh?" Grant asks.

"You shall see when he is ready." I tell him. "Can you put in a good word for Callie at the sandbox. I think you owe that to her with the way you lead her on."

"I think I can agree with that." He tells me. "I will let them know to be expecting her when she graduates."

"I know Donnie will be following after shortly." I say smiling. Happy about the happy ending. There was no happy ending for Seth sadly. I gave him the best ending he could possibly get.
