Fitz and Jemma were going over some of the artifacts that they found around the mountain back at the lab on the bus. Jemma didn't say anything to Fitz, but she was worried about Skye and Ward they hadn't answered the last com and she felt as though she couldn't breathe. Fitz could tell that Jemma was worried and tried to keep her mind going by talking with her about the artifacts they had collected.
"They'll be back Jemma. You know Skye she's really looking forward to making you that dinner." Fitz said giving Jemma a little smile.
"I know." Jemma whispered so quietly that Fitz almost didn't hear her.
"Do you think any of these artifacts are from a different world?" Fitz said trying to change the subject so Jemma wouldn't be looking so lost.
"Well some of these artifacts have different compositions for normal earth artifacts of the same compounds and minerals, but we can't be certain till we know more about how they came to be here and how they appeared around the mountain." Jemma said as she tried to focus on the work ahead of them.
Up in Coulson's office, he and May were having a conversation about the past couple of months. Coulson unsure what May was exactly feeling toward him and SHIELD's missions; while May was just concern about him and wanted to make sure that he wasn't changed by all that had happened.
"May if we are to continue this we have to work together and be able to trust each other. Yes, I have forgiven you, but sometimes I use to wonder why you were here." Coulson said as he handed May a bottle of water.
"I'm here for you Phil. That was the only reason I was here, but I am also here because this team has become like a family to me. I love the way the younger agents act like little children on game night and how we have use to have to force them to stop them from fighting about who's making dinner. It's the type of family I've never had and I don't want to lose it. And I worry about you." May said honestly.
"You don't need to worry about Melinda; I promise I'm not going anywhere. I like this family too."
May smiled a little and then she and Coulson headed to the holotable to see if Skye or Ward had tried to contact them. Ward and Skye still have an hour left, but it didn't stop them from worrying about them.
"Do you think they're all right?" Coulson asked as he and May noticed no one had tried to contact them.
"I'm sure they're fine. Skye really was looking forward to making that special dinner for Jemma; she'd do anything to make sure Jemma gets this dinner and to have her not so worried about going out into the field." May said as she tapped a few buttons to check that everything was working properly just in case.
"True."
"Sir?" Fitz said as he entered the conference room.
"Yes Fitz." Coulson said a little worried what the rocket scientist had to say.
"I'm worried about Jemma."
"We all are."
"She's been looking at the clock ever minute. I just wanted to check in and see if you guys had heard from Skye or Ward."
"Not yet, but they still have a little bit more time to collect information." May said as she checked the planes fuel levels and other functions.
"I'm sure if they needed us they would let us know." Coulson said confidently.
"Right. I'll get back to Jemma." Fitz said as he turned to leave.
"Have you two found any information on the artifacts?"
"Well we both agree some of the artifacts are normal human artifacts, but there are some that are giving us a questioning feeling."
"Okay. I'll go down with you; you and Simmons can explain all that to me. May stay here in case they make contact."
"You got it." May said as she continued to look through some things on the holotable.
Fitz and Coulson then headed downstairs to the lab where Jemma was going through the last of the artifacts; they both noticed that Jemma was trying to concentrate, but would keep looking at her watch.
"Simmons?" Coulson said as he and Fitz entered the lab.
"Yes sir? Is something wrong? Is Skye and Ward okay?" Jemma said so quickly together that it sounded like one word.
"Nothing's wrong, we still haven't heard from Ward or Skye. I'm sure they're fine. Could you update me on the artifacts?"
"Sure. But don't you think they'd be back by now?"
"Jemma I'm sure they're fine probably lost track of time and are on their way back now. Why don't you tell me what you found out about the artifacts."
"Yes sir. Some of them are made out of normal everyday materials nothing out of the ordinary. But there are some artifacts that are made out of something not of this world; they most likely are asgardian. I can tell from the minerals and compounds that the artifacts are made from."
"Which ones?"
Jemma moved over to the table that was full of artifacts; she pointed to the asgardian artifacts with thick gloves that she had on just in case any foreign materials or fluid was on the artifacts. Coulson looked them over as did Fitz since he only helped move them on to the table for Jemma to test.
"Just got contact from Skye and Ward. They're about five minutes out." May said coming over the intercom system.
"Oh thank God." Jemma murmured as her attention moved back to Ward and Skye.
"I told you they were just fine." Fitz said softly.
When Skye and Ward arrived and boarded 'the bus'; Jemma was pacing in the lab waiting to see them, she had really worried while they were gone. Fitz had to closed the doors to the lab so that she wouldn't go running up to them; just in case they were injured or need a minute to catch their breathe.
Once Jemma saw Skye she ran to the doors which had to open before she could come out making her have to wait patiently till they fully opened. And once they were fully open Jemma was in Skye's arms holding on to her for dear life; Ward just patted Jemma on the back while she and Skye hugged.
"I'm so glad you both are all right." Jemma said as she let out a deep breath.
"I told you nothing was going to keep me from making you dinner." Skye said as she kissed Jemma's cheek.
"You could have let us know earlier if you guys were okay." Fitz said as he shook Ward's hand. "Would of saved Jemma from having a heart attack waiting."
"I'll have you know. I was just fine." Jemma said as she moved over to Ward to hug him.
"Yeah you and your watch that you were checking every minute were just fine."
"Fitz Simmons cut it out." Coulson said as he entered the room from the stairs.
