When the plane touched down with Bobbi and Hunter, Coulson called a meeting with them, May, Daisy, Lincoln, Mack, Elena, Jemma, and Leo. They all filed into Coulson's office and sat down around the table.
"We found out what happened to Caitlin." he announced.
"Something happened to Caitlin?" Hunter asked.
"She was pulled through a portal into another dimension and very possibly the past," Coulson said pulling up the device.
"How did that happen?" Leo asked.
"The nursery used to be where we kept this kind of stuff but I thought we cleared it all out. I guess I was wrong," he explained.
"We put our daughter in there and you didn't double check?!" Jemma yelled enraged.
"We triple checked but I guess something must have slipped our radar," Coulson said.
"It's more of a kind of dust than it is an object. We believe that some of it got on Caitlin and her blanket somehow," May explained.
"How do we get her back?" Daisy asked.
"We have something similar to the dust but it works differently," Coulson said.
"How differently?" Bobbi asked.
"Where as the dust you can travel through the dimensions and time with this device you can only go through dimensions," Coulson said.
"Is that a huge problem?" Lincoln asked.
"Leo and Jemma have to be prepared for the possibility that your baby girl might not be a baby anymore." he said.
"And if she isn't?" Hunter asked.
"She might not want to come with us," May said. Silent nods all around and Leo grabbed Jemma's hand giving it a slight squeeze.
"What do we need to do?" Leo asked with determination.
"Get the device back. Ward took it when they attacked The Fridge but he doesn't know what it does. It was never put in the files. I know because May and I were called into pick it up when we were partners." Coulson explained.
"Then let's get it back." Jemma declared.
"I'll get to working on a location." Daisy offered.
"Everyone will." Coulson agreed. They all started working on figuring it out. Hunter pulled Bobbi into the hall.
"What did you want to show me?" he asked.
"Later this is more important." she said.
"Come on Bob. You obviously want to tell me something." Hunter said.
"Later, I promise," Bobbi said kissing him on the lips and heading back into Coulson's office. Hunter soon followed.
Caitlin sat at the computer typing something in.
"You seem pretty out of it Caitlin," Cisco observed. She looked up and smiled.
"These are the days I start thinking about my parents," Caitlin said.
"I forget that you were adopted sometimes." he said.
"I was found on the side of a highway," she said. Cisco put a supportive hand on her shoulder.
"Well whoever your parents were they made a grave mistake giving you up," he said. Caitlin smiled at her friend.
"Thanks, Cisco," she said. Barry walked in the room.
"I found a way to make sure Jay isn't lying. If he really is from another universe than he'll give off a distinct energy wave," he announced.
"I'll get right on it," Cisco said standing up.
"Thank you," Barry said. He nodded and went to his workshop.
"I'll call you when it's done!" Cisco yelled back to them. Ronnie sat down next to Caitlin after Barry left.
"Hey Cait." he said.
"Hey Ronnie." she smiled.
"What was that with the blanket this morning?" Ronnie asked.
"Nothing I just was thinking about my biological parents," Caitlin said.
"Do you want to find them?" he asked.
"Maybe." she said.
"Than we will," Ronnie said softly pushing her hair behind her ear.
A few hours later Cisco called everyone to the cortex.
"I put this in the system so it will scan everyone in the room." he said.
"Why?" Barry asked.
"So that we can compare the energy signatures," Cisco explained. He started up the program and within a few minutes, it was finished.
"This is interesting." Cisco said.
"Is Jay not from another universe?" Caitlin asked.
"No he is, but so are you." he said turning the monitor around so everyone could see.
"What?" she asked as her lungs seemed to contract. Ronnie quickly ran to support her as her knees grew weak.
"How is that possible?" Barry asked.
"There are some objects in other universes that can make dimension travel possible," Jay said.
"All I had was a baby blanket," Caitlin said.
"Sometimes they come in dust or liquid form." he clarified.
"I'm from another universe?" she asked rhetorically. Ronnie wrapped his arms tighter around Caitlin.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I don't know," she muttered. Iris and Joe walked into the room followed closely by Stein.
"Is everyone okay?" Iris asked. Caitlin broke out of Ronnie's arms and walked out. Ronnie started to go after her but Cisco stopped him.
"Let her work through it for a minute," Barry said. Ronnie nodded and sat down.
"Work out what?" Iris asked. Cisco quickly explained and Ronnie walked to find Caitlin.
"I'm confused," Joe said.
"So are we," Barry said.
Caitlin sat outside on a bench Ronnie sat down next to her.
"I don't even know where I came from or if my parents chose to give me up." she said.
"They didn't." he said.
"How do you know that?" Caitlin asked.
"That blanket that you were found in was made by hand. Only someone who truly loved their child would take the time to do that." Ronnie said.
"Do you think they're looking for me?" she asked.
"With every inch of their beings." he said.
"What do you think they're like?" Caitlin asked.
"Smart obviously. Look just like you. Kind. Absolutely amazing." Ronnie said.
"Thanks, Ronnie." she said smiling.
"Anytime Cait." he said.
The SHIELD team continued trying to figure out what happened to the object. Suddenly Daisy got a ping.
"It was recovered and is in our basement." she said.
"Really?" Jemma asked.
"Yes, sometimes the universe doesn't hate us," Daisy said.
"Let's get it and find our daughter," Leo said.
"I'll get it, everyone else, get ready to go," Coulson instructed everyone nodded. Bobbi and Hunter walked back to their room.
"What did you want to tell me?" he asked. Bobbi sighed and set a picture frame on the bed. Hunter's eyes grew and he looked at her with a big stupid grin. Bobbi visibly relaxed and smiled back.
