In all her years as a SHIELD agent, Jemma Simmons had seen some pretty horrifying things. There was that time when John Garret had taken over SHIELD, and given Grant Ward the order to kill both Simmons and Fitz. Fitz had brain damage from being suffocated for so long, and she had barely been able to swim both of them to the surface. There was also the initial war between the inhumans, Talbot, and SHIELD. The most prominent memory she could think of was when she was transported to another planet, through the obelisk. The entire journey- arriving on the planet, finding Will, escaping with Fitz, and having that parasite take over Ward- had been terrifying for her. In Simmons' mind, there wasn't much that could compare to that experience, including Robbie's demonic powers.
These thoughts ran through her head as she watched the video taken of the new inhuman. In horror, she viewed the young girl decimate the SHIELD troops, a look of malice on the teen's face. The Icer bullets seemed to have no effect, except to make the girl even angrier. Jemma sighed in relief as Ghost Rider showed up, putting the girl down effectively. Plagued with intrigue, Simmons pulled up the video feed from the containment room. The girl was still in bed, exhibiting the results of Robbie's power. A blue bruise had since blossomed across her right cheek and jaw, and even in sleep the girl looked to be in pain. While Jemma doubted she would be able to move after a fight like that, she still took comfort in the fact that while she was performing tests on the girl, restraints would hold the girl down. Truth be told, if the Icer bullets worked on her the way they did with Robbie- that is to say, not at all- then the Containment Modules probably wouldn't hold the girl once she was using her power.
Simmons frowned and picked up the girl's file. Laylia Harker. She was only seventeen. To go through terrigenesis at such a young age… and with no one to help her adjust to her new life. Jemma shook her head. Laylia was at SHIELD, and they would find out what powers exactly she had. More specifically, Jemma would find out what powers she had. She didn't always like being the leading "expert" on inhumans, even if she did understand their genetics the most out of everyone in the world. She sighed, and pulled her equipment together.
"Headed down to containment, are you?" Fitz walked in, carefully setting down the case in his right hand. Simmons nodded, continuing to put instruments on the cart. She paused, feeling Fitz's concern from across the lab. She sighed and looked up at him. "Fitz, I'll be fine. She's just a teenager." Fitz scoffed. "Yeah, a teenager who leveled three quinjets and at least two dozen SHIELD agents. But yeah, I'm sure you can handle it, so, yeah, no worries." Simmons inwardly rolled her eyes at Fitz, but was internally grateful for his worry about her safety. "Coulson and Director Mace agreed that Daisy, May, and Mack will be with me while I'm in the containment rooms. I think they'll be able to protect me, don't you?" Simmons crossed the room, wrapping her arms around Fitz's shoulders. He sighed, looking down at the table. "Yeah, except only Robbie was able to take her down. Him and his freakish demon powers." Simmons gave Fitz a quick kiss on the cheek and started pushing the cart out towards the door. "It'll be fine, Fitz. I promise."
As Simmons walked down toward the secure level, she was grateful that Daisy, May, and Mack would be accompanying her. She wasn't sure how Harker would respond to having May and Daisy present, considering the two of them had been at the field. She hoped having the calming presence of Agent Mackenzie there would be a counter to whatever panic the young girl would feel. Simmons frowned in thought; was it best to have Daisy in the room? Sure, Daisy was an inhuman, and had been working with Lincoln on how to transition inhumans. But she also had pretty much attacked Harker, and made her feel like she had to defend herself. Not to mention, Daisy couldn't go head to head against Laylia. It had taken Ghost Rider to subdue her, and Simmons absolutely did not want Robbie in the same room as Harker. She wasn't even sure if May should be present. Mack was plenty bodyguard enough, and probably wouldn't incite any negative feelings or reactions.
"Deep in thought?" Simmons was startled out of her trance by Daisy, who had just jogged up. "Daisy, you have cuts that need stitches." Simmons noticed two red lines seeping through the gauze above Daisy's eyebrow. She shrugged and smiled, lightly pushing down the tape around the outside. "Yeah, turns out that kid packs a wallop when she hits. Its fine, though, just stings a bit." Simmons frowned, turning her disapproving gaze away from Daisy. "Those cuts really need stitches…" She muttered, scanning over the rest of Harker's file. Daisy rolled her eyes, before resting her gaze on Agents May and Mackenzie. Deep in conversation, the two didn't notice Daisy and Simmons until they joined the group. May nodded to the two of them, before pulling up the video from inside the containment room.
"So, you want us to be in there in case Harker gets loose?" May asked, brushing her hair back from her face. Simmons gulped as she saw the bandage behind May's ear, displaying that she was also injured by Harker's attack. May noticed Simmons' discomfort, and put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm fine, Simmons. I already got checked out. And before you protest, the Director wants both me and Daisy in there with you and Mack." Simmons nodded, scowling. "I know, I just think your presence will set her on edge." May shrugged, starting to key in the code to open the door. "Yeah, that's what I said. He thinks it'll be fine, so why worry?" Mack put an arm around Simmons' shoulder. "Don't worry, Simmons. We've got your back. And," he added in a low voice, "I'll keep them in check. Everything will be fine."
