"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.

"Yes sir." Fitz Simmons said together.

"All right let's talk about what we've found out." Coulson said as he and the rest of the team, except May who was turning things off in the conference room, gathered to go over everything they had figured out.

"We talked to a lot of the town and no one has been close to the mountain for at least two and some three generations. They say there's a legend of a man who came and brought lots of new things to the town once, but when the man died the things he brought and made were left near the mountain to be a reminder of his greatness and kindness." Skye said.

"So he must have come from a different world. Some of the artifacts are made of materials here and some not." Jemma said as she pointed to the artifacts that were separated into two piles.

"Are they dangerous?" May said as she came into the lab.

"Not that I can tell. They don't have any hazardous material or radioactive qualities." Fitz said.

"So they're harmless?" Skye said sort of hoping they would uncover something interesting.

"Pretty much." Jemma said as she leaned onto Skye's shoulder.

"Good. I'll inform the correct channels and let them know that the artifacts are nothing, but memories." Coulson as he and May left the lab. "And you guys are free for the rest of the day."

"Thanks PC." Skye said as she took Jemma's hand and headed up to the living area of the bus. "Come on Jem I promised you dinner."

"I'm going to go workout." Ward said as he began to leave the lab.

"Hey Ward." Fitz said as Ward turned to leave. Ward turned back around to see a worried looking Fitz and he wondered what was wrong.

"Yes Fitz."

"Do you think Jemma will ever be like her old self? I miss her."

"I think in time she'll be as close to her old self as she's going to get. You should talk to her about missing her. I know that she and Skye spend a lot of time together and you only see her when you two are trying to work on something, but if you talked to her I'm sure she'd spend more time with you."

"I'm just worried she'll never be okay like she was."

"I worry about that too, but I do know that it's going to take a lot of more time for her to get over what they put her through. I know you care about her Fitz and she knows that. Just try to be your normal self around her and soon I'm sure you'll see her like she was."

"Thanks Ward."

"No problem."

Ward turned to leave and thought of something and turned back around to see Fitz start working on one of his gadgets.

"Hey Fitz." Ward said.

"Yes." Fitz said looking up from his gadget.

"Come train with me. I know that you'd like to be able to protect Jemma and Skye better."

"Sure. Thanks Ward."

"Come on."

Ward went into the area to start preparing himself to work out, while Fitz then headed to change clothes that he could get sweaty in, since he was in his work clothes.

Later that day, Skye and Jemma were in the dining table with a beautiful homemade meal of spaghetti with meatballs and garlic bread. Jemma was amazed at Skye's cooking and that she had taken the time to create the whole meal; Skye was just happy everything worked out so they could have this time together.

"You keep amazing me." Jemma said as they were finishing up.

"Well you're pretty amazing too." Skye said with a goofy grin that she got when she was being praised for something.

"Thank you for making dinner."

"Not a problem especially since I got to spend it with you and everyone else is off the plane, I had to practically beg Fitz to go out with them."

"Yeah I thought he'd be a hard one to get off the plane." Jemma said with a little laugh. "I think he's still worried."

"Well you two do go together. I think he feels a little left out at times." Skye said as she led Jemma over to the couch. They both sat down and Skye grabbed her laptop; putting in Jemma's favorite movie, 'Princess Bride'. They got comfortable and cuddled while watching the movie.

Once the movie was over Skye and Jemma decided to turn in for the night after Skye with the help of Jemma cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen.

"You know you didn't have to help with the cleanup." Skye said as she and Jemma got comfortable in bed.

"I know, but I wanted too. You've been so good to me tonight." Jemma said cuddling in close and kissing Skye's cheek.

"And I'd do it again."

"I know."

"I love you Jemma." Skye said for the second time. She hadn't expected to say it, but when she did it felt normal, like it was as normal as breathing.

"I love you too." Jemma said softly as she held on to Skye a little tighter. Skye kissed her forehead and turned out the light.
