''She went after Aida to get Fitz...'' Daisy whispered in disbelief, though it was loud enough for the rest of the team to hear.

''Aida is going to kill her.'' May stated with a worried voice, ''Someone needs to go after her.''

''But we're also on a rescue mission...'' Coulson said, confused at what was going or and who was Aida. Daisy bit her lip, Mace could get killed, and the team knew that he will indeed get killed once HYDRA gets their fingers of him. Fitz would have been safe with Aida...in a safer situation than Mace...

''But where even could she be? How does she know where the damn robot is hiding?'' Mack questioned, leaving everyone wondering the same thing. They did not have the information to follow her...or even to find Aida. They had nothing.

''I'm sure she knows what she's getting herself into...'' Daisy whispered with slight hope, begging inside her mind that Simmons was not stupid and reckless enough to just run in there and try something...

''Simmons is smart, she knows what she's doing. But she's still in danger.'' May began, feeling worried for the girl, ''And once we extract Mace, we try to get to her as soon as we can somehow.''

Jemma furrowed her eyebrows, focusing on her phone. ''Good think I inserted a tracker into the phone that I have given to Fitz.'' She whispered to herself, waiting for a cab. Her phone was beeping every few seconds quietly, showing whether she was getting closer to Fitz or not. Before getting into the cab, Jemma hoped that it was the actual location of Fitz...That he still had the phone with him. Jemma glanced at the map and gave the driver the directions.

The cab stopped a few roads from her destination just like she had asked. ''Thank you.'' Jemma said gratefully, she didn't even have time to smile before giving him the money. She was in a middle of a green field filled with grass, in the distance, she could see a huge house-a mansion with big metal gates surrounding it.

''Damn it.'' She whispered once she saw the guards in front of the gate. Jemma squinted in attempts to see who was the figure that had just exited the house. Aida. It was her. The woman looked unhappy, mad almost, but she managed to grin at her guards.

''What is she saying?'' Simmons whispered to herself, seeing Aida motion towards the car. Both of the guards nodded and got in, and slowly started backing out of the driveway. Could they have seen her? The car started making its way towards the gravel road which Jemma stood on, she dove for the nearest cover which she could find ; a tree and stood behind it, letting the car pass by without being noticed. A breath of relief escaped from between her lips when the car drove past.

There was nobody else guarding the gate and this was her chance.

By the time Jemma got to the gate, dark clouds gathered above her, changing the whole color of the day. She didn't mind it, thinking it could somehow be more coverage. She pushed and pulled the gate and it did not budge. A password was required to get in, and that was something she did not know.

Jemma carefully went around the whole house, observing it. She made a choice, choosing the side with least windows, which decreased her chances of being seen. She had one foot over the tall gate when she heard the front door of the building opening, Jemma scrambled her other leg up and jumped, ignoring the safe way of climbing down. She ran to the back of the hosue in case someone was to come out from the front.

As if Jemma wasn't lucky enough, she ended up near a back door that lead inside the house, her hand gripped her pistol that was under her black jacket in case the needed to use it on her way in... ''That would give away my cover...'' She whispered to herself again. Jemma did not have a choice. She needed to save Fitz from there so they could get out once and for all.

With one of her hands on the handle, she twisted it, and the door opened without a sound.

''Mack, you go with May.'' Daisy said before they all split up, she knew May would need extra help since Coulson was not in his full mind yet. Her and Ward took another road, they ducked for cover within every step they took, careful not to be seen.

''HYDRA will soon be entering the building that the Patriot is believed do be hiding in.'' A newsreporter said, she was a few meters in front of Ward and Daisy, giving them indication to the building without even realizing.

''It's that one.'' Daisy said, pointing to the huge building in front of her that was surrounded with armed HYDRA agents. ''How do we get in?'' She asked nobody in particular.

''Roof.'' Ward said, his finger pointing upwards to the ladder that was missing half of its bottom part.

''Good.'' Daisy said, all that was left for them to do was find another way around. They turned into an alley way that was located to the left, away from any HYDRA agents that they could see. ''We should get safely through here.'' She said with a grin and regretted it when an armed woman stepped out of another alley that connected to that one. She had a HYDRA logo on her uniform.

''The roads are off limits!'' She yelled, putting her rifle up to her eye level.

''Sorry.'' Ward said as a distraction, the woman turned to him, ignoring Daisy just like he had wanted, ''We're not from here.'' He lied and Daisy took action. She got onto the ground, her hands connecting to the warm concrete, she sent the woman flying off her feet with one single quake.

Ward ran towards the woman, grabbing the riffle off of her quickly before slamming the gun into her face, knocking her out. ''Nice work.'' Daisy complimented him, he smiled, but suddenly remembered how fast his life changed when the Skye he knew woke up as Daisy...

''Do we take the gun?'' He asked and she was already a few meters in front of him.

''If you don't want to die, then yeah.'' She said and he followed her, towards the ladder.

Daisy jumped, gripping one of the metal steps tightly before pulling herself up, she climbed onto the very rooftop and gave Ward a heads up. ''Over here.'' Daisy called over even before Ward made it all the way up, she opened the descent sized hatch and hopped in with Ward behind her.

''Are you sure this is safe?'' He questioned with all the dust in his eyes, Ward threw the rifle forwards and got in.

''No.'' Daisy replied with nothing else but honestly, ''They're not in the building yet, so that's good. But if this breaks then we would kind of blow our cover.''

Ward decided not to question her anymore, a few spider webs ended up around his face by the time they got out of the hatch and the tunnels connected to it. They were somewhere high up in the building, the railings that Daisy grabbed onto whilst climbing down the stairs were rusty and shaky, their paint was slowly fading away into nothing. This looked old, was the patriot really in here?

''There they are!'' Coulson yelled loudly, pointing forwards. Somehow they have made it around some other way.

''You okay?'' Mack asked when they were close enough, Daisy nodded.

''Have you seen Mace anywhere? Or anyone at this point because the place seems empty?'' Daisy questioned, and right when she asked, a sound of something smashing came from below the metal stairs. The team ran down quickly, meeting Mace's calm glare.

''Who are you?'' He asked, standing up into a fighting position to show that he was ready to take anyone down who got in his way.

''I'm Daisy,'' She said, slowly approaching him, ''You know me, Mace, and all of them too. We know you too.''

He shook his head, staring at her weirdly, ''I don't know you. You may know me as the patriot, but Mace? Haven't heard that in a long time.'' He admitted, strongly confused by how she got his name from. The metal double door to their right was hit with something heavy, leaving a dent in it.

Mace stood up and walked towards it, ready to take his stand. May grabbed him by the arm in attempts to pull him back. ''Now is not the time to play the hero.'' She said as a matter of fact. It was true.

''You want to live.'' Mack said, ''Then you come with us.''

Mace seemed to consider it, but they were strangers...though of good heart by the looks of it. Mace knew it himself...there was no way he could defeat HYDRA on his own, but he was willing to take a stand.

''Please, Mace.'' Daisy pleaded, ''Come with us, don't play the hero now. It might be your last stand.''

''I don't know who you are, but something tells me to follow you.'' He said hesitantly and Daisy smiled, a real smile.

''It's your conscious.'' Daisy explained, though she was sure Mace wouldn't get it, ''Now lets go.''


What shocked you the most about this chapter? Did you think that Jemma would actually leave to look for Fitz on her own? FitzSimmons is my OTPPPPP.

Thank you for the reviews and all of the readers who continue to enjoy my story! I still don't know how many chapters I have left for this, but this is the longest fanfic I have ever written...
