Hey guys! Sorry for the wait, but I have a lot of things going on. This is another chapter focusing on Fitzsimmons, and I think I have a good idea of how this is going to end. I've had a bunch of ideas, so I may change this if the story doesn't work the way I want it to. I am also thinking about doing an alternate ending on the latest episode, The Only Light in the Darkness. Fitz, being his socially awkward self, refused to admit that he likes Simmons! Note: In this story Ward is not a traitor (for now). Enjoy!
Simmons and Fitz stared at each other. Jemma's mouth was slightly open, in shock. She stepped toward Fitz, and forgot where they were. She forgot they had been kidnapped, tortured, and separated from Skye and Ward. Jemma Simmons knew only that she loved Leo Fitz and he loved her. They slowly closed the distance between themselves, until finally, their foreheads met. Their first real kiss was gentle, sweet, and full of emotion.
Then, it was interrupted by a nearby door being blown off its hinges. The explosion had created enough dust to give Fitzsimmons time to hide around a cornerbefore it cleared. Fitz swore under his breath, something about "every damn time." A familiar female voice whispered a few feet away.
"Do you think all the guards fell for it? We could be in huge danger if one of them didn't go to levelE,"the voice said. Another voice answered, "We have to assume they all fell for your distraction. Now, we need to find-"The voice stopped suddenly. Fitzsimmons could barely hear what was whispered next, but assumed it was about them. Fitz slowly stood up, helping Simmons along also. They stepped out from behind the corner and saw Skye and Ward. Skye sighed in relief, while Ward looked at his teammates to make sure they were okay.
"How did you guys get out?" asked Skye. Simmons immediately answered, "The man with us left after getting the message that there was a security breach. He forgot to close the door all the way, and we weren't noticed. Did you cause the security breach? Shouldn't they be right on your tail? All the guards immediately went in your direction."
"I took out a couple of the guards when they came in to check on us. Then, from a control panel, Skye hacked into their system to try and stop the security message from being sent out. She couldn't stop the message, so she changed it. Skye sent all security personnel to the opposite side of the facility," Ward explained. "All we need to do now is get to the exit."
"When you hacked the system, did you see a model or diagram of this place?" Fitz asked. Skye explained what she and Ward thought was the best route after they had analyzed the blueprints. As the team began to near their third hall, a guard came from around a corner and immediately pointed his gun at the four agents. Unarmed and weary, Skye, Ward, and Fitzsimmons had little defenses. "Turn around!" the guard ordered. The team did so, hoping for mercy. The gun went off.
The gun was that of Agent Garrett, who had shot the guard in the head. Fitz, who had grabbed Simmons' hand, was the first to turn around. He smiled, knowing SHIELD would somehow get them out. The team ran toward Garrett, and with him they eventually arrived at the final halls. Suddenly, an alarm went off, with flashing lights going off. The team continued to run, hoping that by an amazing stroke of luck they would outrun the guards that were surely in pursuit. However, no security seemed to be in the area, despite their obvious knowledge of the team's escape.
With the final door in sight, Ward and Skye ran even faster. Fitz did relatively well in keeping up, leaving Simmons and Garrett to bring up the rear. Ward and Skye continued to, not realizing how far ahead of the rest of the group they were. As soon as Fitz passed through the door, a large group of guards became visible, and were nearing Simmons and Garrett. The guards were gaining on Simmons, who must have somehow hurt her leg. Fitz immediately turned around, earning protests from Ward and Skye. A door slammed shut between Fits and Simmons, trapping Jemma. She began hitting the door, as did Fitz. Calming herself, Jemma looked into Fitz's eyes.
"Leo Fitz, I love you, but you have to go. Go!" she exclaimed. "Fitz, please, I'll be fine. You'll get me out. You're the hero, and you'll get me out. We can get married and have kids, but you need to go, now!" she pleaded. The guards grabbed Jemma's arms, dragging her away from the door, completely ignoring the other four agents who were watching. It took Garrett, Skye, and Ward to drag Fitz away from the door.
So that's it for this chapter. It may seem odd that the guards practically let Skye, Ward, Garrett, and Fitz go, but there is a reason, so don't worry. Hope you guys enjoyed, and will give me your wonderful feedback!
