Simmons, Fitz and Skye were all in Hazmat suits, putting blood soiled clothing in bags, rugs, anything that had blood on it. A few other S.H.I.E.L.D agents carrying the furniture out so they could scrub the floor. Fitz and Simmons were rolling up the area rug while Skye looked around for anything with blood on it. Fitz was speaking. "Can't belive the Loki did this. What God tries to kill itself?" Simmons spoke up, helping roll up the blood soaked rug. "Well actually there are several Gods and Goddesses that committed suicide. For insistence-" "Don't think thats what he means Simmons. He means Loki was always pictured as strong and powerful and evil...and...he's the God of lies for a reason." Fitz sighed. "It's just selfish. They don't even realize who there leaving when they do it." Simmons frowned. "When they attempted not all are of clear mind. Pain and suffering clouds judgment. We all know that." Skye nodded, looking away, wondering how Loki was doing. Skye sighed as two burly S.H.I.E.L.D agents carried the rug out. "I'l go get the bucket ready."

Coulson was in the kitchen with Kim, Clint and Gage. Quinn was checking over Loki as Tony walked in the kitchen with a sad smile. "He's awake." Kim sighed in relief. "Thank god. I was so worried." Tony nodded. "TJ said he would talk to us later about him." Phil nodded. "Quinn showed exceptional skill and medical knowledge today. Has she taken classes?" Kim shook her head. "Not that I'm aware of. Could be just her health class in school." Tony sipped his coffee before speaking. "Shes also a fast learner, probably learned half that knowledge just from Gage and client or other doctors. Lord knows we've been to enough hospitals."

Phil nodded. "Whatever the case I think it would benefit her greatly if she continued along that path." Kim smiled. "What? As a doctor?" "The world could use more doctors like her. Strong willed, smart, dosnt sugar coat. S.H.I.E.L.D even has medical facilities she could learn at, she'd be in her element." Tony looked at Kim, wanting an answer. Kim looked at Phil. "What about school?" "She can graduate early and get started as early as she likes. She would live in the dorms, about four years,like a normal collage unless she chooses to specialize then that would be another four. In that case arrangements can be made to be home more, find her a job in her field." Kim and Tony smiled but Phil could see it was a bitter sweet smile, there baby was growing up. "We'l talk to her about it."

Quinn sighed, looking at the monitors then hooking a drip up to Loki's arm. "I'm putting you on a drip to get fluids back in you. I can't exactly give you a blood transfusion seeing as your not human." TJ spoke up, watching. "Why can't he just...you know have a Gatorade?" She looked over at her brother. "There's a chance he could be sick. His body is weak right now and went thru a shock of blood loss." Loki nodded. "I understand." He looked at the IV in his arm then to the bag of clear fluid. Quinn continued. "Sometime when your better thou I think it would be a good idea to take some of your blood, test it, type it." Loki frowned. "Type it? What in the nine realms do you mean?"

TJ smiled. "On earth there's different types of blood. Some are common, some rare, some get along with all." "And Id like to see if any earth blood gets along with yours-" Loki nodded. "So next time I am injured and lose blood, you'll be prepared." "Exactly." TJ raised an eyebrow. "Where exactly did you learn all this? Been Marathoning House?" She gave him a look. "Your so funny I forgot to laugh. Actually school. It's not your normal health class, it's alot more advanced,nearly medical school advanced. I just happen to excel in it. And have a tiny hospital in the lab because our dads a billionaire in medical equipment." TJ smirked weakly. "Yep." She gave him a look. "Don't you look at me like that, I saved your boyfriends life." TJ smiled, holding Loki's hands. "I know. I..." He sighed. "Thank you." Quinn smiled softly. "Anytime." Then she smirked. "But the next time will cost you."

Unknown to them a car was sitting a distance away from the house. One with binoculars, both men in cameo. One sighed. "Seriously, why are here? Why can't we just barge in, grab the girl and be done with it?" "Because there's two bodyguardss, third if you count the son and fucking Iron Man is in there. No thank you." "ok, fine, we don't just barge in. We...greet them. Like were new neighbors and we bring them cookies laced with some kind of sleeping poison and boom." The one holding the binoculars looked over at him. "What are you smoking?" He shrugged. "Just an idea. Better then sitting here doing nothing. "Well this sitting here and doing nothing is called "reconnaissance" and it's actual military work. I know, we've been watching them for weeks but we need to find a pattern in them, get the girl while shes alone." The other shook his head. "This is stupid. Why can't General Black just let his son go? I know what the rules are, I get that but damn we all want out and he's the only one that did. Alive I mean. And he's living a good life, has a good girlfriend. Why can't we let him be?" "Because General Black will kill us." "oh. Right."

Quinn went up to the kitchen with one thing on her mind...well two. One of them was coffee. The other was wither or not she would ever have sex with Gage again. After there last try he never talked about it or tried anything. And as much as she hates the memories, she wants to be with him again more. She was brought out of her thoughts, nearly blushing as she saw her whole family plus Coulson in the kitchen. "Hi." Phil nodded his head. "Hello . How are you doing after all this?" She smiled weakly, making her way to the coffee maker. "Fine. Loki's doing well,I have him on fluids right now. Didn't want to risk it coming back up." "That's actually what I'd like to talk to you about." Quinn frowned. "What? Am I in trouble because I'm not a doctor or something?" Tony smiled. "No. Nothing like that." Phil continued, telling her about how amazing she would be as a doctor, about SH.I.E.L.D's medical facilities she could learn at for four years, dorm and food included and she could visit home at anytime when she was free.

If she wanted to specialize, that would be another four years with arrangements made. She let out a breath. "I...I don't know what to say. You think I have what it takes to be a doctor?" Kim smiled. "Of corse we do sweetie. But of corse you can do whatever you like. You don't have to do this. It's just an option." Quinn nodded. "I do want to save the world. I'l...I'l think about it. I just want to get thru school first." "Understood." Phil spoke. She looked around. "Wheres Gage?" Tony shrugged. "Think he said he went out for a jog." Quinn pretended not to notice the look Clint had. Almost worried and just a little fear. What exactly is her boyfriend up to?

Gage had knew there car was out there for the whole day but never got a chance to confront them. JARVIS informed him that this car had been sitting out here every day and leaving everyday for three weeks. When asked JARVIs didn't inform them because they were not a threat. They carried no weapons or poisons of any sort. He snuck around, going around the back of the car so the man with binoculars wouldn't see him. He recognized them as men from his old unit. Older now but still the same. He remembered being friends with them, few that agreed with him to leave. He hated himself for what he was about to do. When they weren't looking he went to the passenger side, opening the door quickly and grabbing him around his neck in a chock hold. The other jumped out of the car. "Whoa, stop man." Gage glared. "No. I know why your here. You've been watching us for weeks. You want to hurt my girlfriend to get to me. Well I'm not gonna let that happen." The man in his arm struggled for air, struggling weakly. The other swallowed in fear. "Look Christian-" "Thats not my name!" Gage nearly growled out. "That man is dead. My Name is Gage Smith and you are not going to take Quinn or anyone of this family. Send General black this message."

With his free hand he got his knife, stabbing the man in his arm in his stomach before letting him fall, catching his shirt and starting to pound his head against the car window. The glass broke after the third hit but he continued, beating him senseless against the door. Before switching to fists, punching him, feeling every bone in his face break, tissue and blood leaking out like water. After one more hard hit he threw the man thru the broken window and into he back seat. He opened the door, getting his knife out, ripping the dead mans shirt and writing on his chest. "nice try." The man watching was in utter horror. Gage was covered in blood, spattered to his face, hands covered, clothing covered and splattered as he got out of the car, slamming it shut. The man staring ran for the drivers side, starting the car and speeding off, fast as he could leaving Gage panting and watching the car drive off, dripping knife in hand. "Gage?" He tensed, turning around, seeing Quinn. She swallowed down her fear, not expecting this when she went looking for him. "What did you do?"
