Hi, my name is Mary.
I'm a relatively new Shield agent, and I'm currently hiding in the shadows of a hallway on base watching my boss, Captain Daisy Johnson, make out with the Head of the Science department's husband, Dr Fitz. Or at the very least they're kissing very passionately and getting quite handsy, but it certainly looks to me like it would qualify as making out. Anyway, it doesn't really matter, as it's still Dr Jemma Simmons' husband kissing another woman, that much is for sure.
I'm watching them so that I can go report it to Director Coulson, so that he can tell Dr Simmons. And it's not that I don't like my boss Captain Johnson, or Dr Fitz, or that I like Dr Simmons more than either of them, or even that I want to earn brownie points with the Director — but every scorned significant other should know that their other half is cheating on them, and for the sake of Shield itself I know that the Director would want to know what is going on between his Senior Agents. So here I lurk in the shadows observing, so that I can tell him exactly what is going on, when I go report it to him as soon as they finish.
Oh! But wait! Here comes Dr Simmons herself right now, walking down the hallway straight towards them! Maybe I won't have to tell on them myself after all. Dr Simmons is definitely walking straight towards them with a determined stride, though she doesn't seem as angry as I would have expected her to be — has this been a regularly occurring thing with her husband that she's sadly just used to by now?
Okay, now, that doesn't look like a woman shocked or resigned to me — she just tapped Dr Fitz on the ass as she made it up to them.
"Break it up you two, I need Fitz."
Now I'm watching Captain Johnson and Dr Fitz break apart, a few more quick pecks back and forth on their way apart, before Dr Fitz turns to Dr Simmons and leans his face down towards her. And shock, she's leaning up towards him and kissing him!
They only kiss lightly for a few seconds before pulling apart again, but it is definitely a friendly kiss, and there is absolutely no sign of anger or disappointment or anything that I had expected on Dr Simmons' face.
Perhaps they have an open arrangement where he's allowed to make out with Captain Johnson on the side?
Or Dr Simmons is now kissing Captain Johnson herself. Okay, so it was only a light peck, but it was definitely lips on lips, and as amorous-looking as any kiss that short can be. And now Drs FitzSimmons are walking off down the hallway in the direction that Dr Simmons had come from, back towards their lab, their hands intertwined between them as they stroll along chatting cheerfully about something sciency that I'll never have any hope of understanding or honestly can even hear from my position, as Captain Johnson walks off in the other direction humming happily to herself.
What the hell is going on?
