"I didn't think it would be so big" Skye said, as the team gathered around the bottom of the Great Pyramid at Giza.
"Duh! It's a pyramid. What else did you expect? It's like an ancient wonder of the world."
"Well let's split up and track where this anomalous result came from." Simmons suggested.
Fitz got the seven dwarves out of the case and started flying them around the giant structure. Skye and Simmons were monitoring the screen where the data was being collected, Coulson was filling in the Hub on their status and May and Ward were scouting for clues. It was just after dawn and the sun wasn't up very high yet. It was still hot enough. May and Ward saw an opening in the side of the pyramid, so they went in to investigate. Fitz saw them go into the pyramid and sent one of the dwarves in after them, but before the tiny device could fly into the crevice it had gone.
"Guy's." Fitz said.
No one paid him any attention.
"Guy's" he shouted.
"What?" was the response.
"We have a problem"
"What is it?"
"May and Ward have gone."
"Gone? Gone where?"
"They went through an opening and before I could get a dwarf in to guide them poof it vanished."
"What vanished?"
"The opening."
All four of them looked at the pyramid in front of them.
They heard a grinding noise behind them. They turned around to see what it was and to their horror they saw the opening disappear. They were left stood in the dark, musty pyramid with no water and no way of getting out. There was a sudden stream of light as Ward snapped his torch on.
"Well this is cosy" He said as he flashed the light around the narrow corridor.
"Find the trap release."
"What trap release?"
"Where there's a hidden door there is usually a release for it"
"You watch way too many Indiana Jones movies"
"Will you just look?"
"Yes Ma'am."
They spent 20 minutes looking for something that would release the door, but the inside of the pyramid was as smooth as the outside.
"Stay here or look around?" May asked Ward.
"I'd like to have a look around"
"Really?"
"You're not scared are you Agent May?" Ward asked teasingly.
"No."
"So come on then!"
Ward led May into the depths of the pyramid in search of, well, anything.
"It can't just have disappeared. It must be a door of some kind" Fitz was saying as he was running his hands over the spot where the opening had been.
"State the obvious much?" Skye asked him
"The question is how do we get it open?"
"I don't know."
The four of them stood looking at the wall. You couldn't even see a line where the opening could be.
"It is the right place isn't it Fitz?" Coulson asked him.
"I left snoopy here so that I could find it again. I'm sure".
"The answer might be in the hieroglyphics" Skye suggested, running her hands over the detailed drawings on the side of the pyramid.
May and Ward hadn't found anything useful on their tour and had returned down the passage to the door. It was still blocked, so they sat down, legs across the corridor, facing each other.
"Are you still that pissed at me? I said I was sorry that I hurt you."
"I wasn't pissed about it just being sex, or that there was someone else. By the way, it's becoming plainly and painfully obvious who it is."
"What were you pissed at me about if it wasn't that?"
"That you couldn't tell me about it."
"Would you really have been ok with it? Sleeping with me knowing my heart was elsewhere?"
"Probably not and we will never know. But to hear it like I did. That's what hurt."
"I am so sorry."
"It's as hot as Hell in here"
"How do you know?" He asked.
"Know what?"
"If it's as hot as Hell. Have you ever been to Hell to make the comparison?"
"I think I'm in Hell." She told him throwing a pebble she had found at him.
There was a splutter from the torch and it went out.
"No, now I'm there!" May said.
