THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER :) Read the author's note at the end please if you are interested in some future stories ;)

''We can't go back to the base, it's nothing but ashes.'' Daisy said with a frown, as Fitz, Davis and Piper carefully placed Mack's body with the whole weird looking chair into a safe place in the Zephyr.

''What do you mean?'' May questioned, not recalling anything, in fact, everyone could not remember anything except for Daisy, Simmons, Piper and Davis.

Daisy crossed her arms, ''Well, you all tried killing us and replacing us with LMD's. Shot me a couple of times but as you can see we're here.'' She said.

Coulson cringed, half shutting his eyes, ''Sorry for that.'' He apologetically said. As soon as Simmons had taken care of everyone's injuries, the Zephyr was ready to go.

''May, are you sure you'd like to fly? You're not in a good state at the moment.'' Simmons explained, but May refused to get any rest, she needed to get her team that was also her family out of that place before it didn't shatter beneath their feet. The Zephyr was roaming the skies in no longer than ten minutes, with May as the pilot, the team felt in safe hands.

''I wonder how Ward is doing with getting Mack to realize that he needs to come back...'' Daisy whispered to nobody in particular, watching Mack's body remaining completely still through the glass.

Ward left the empty jet and headed for the city as darkness claimed the sky and clouds above him. Lights glimmered in the distance, he grinned softly before his face dropped, though a small smile still lingered above his chin. Ward was glad they were back where they belonged. He imagined Daisy's face immersed in happiness and joy, gladness and relief...every emotion that wasn't bad. That's how he wanted to see her. Ward didn't want to have it any other way. Up and down a hill he went, he thought of the things he would do just to see her face. Just to see Daisy smile in her real world.

It haunted him. Realizing that he had been living in somewhere that was fake haunted Ward. His mind...Couldn't comprehend it. None of it. What he could however understand was, the pure happiness Daisy must've felt. Ward was happy for her. Joyful. Everything that was positive.

About an hour on the road across the city and the suburbs, Ward could finally see a dim light coming from Mack's house. He was in his daughters' room. Ward placed his hand on the door, having a quick think about what he was going to say, how he was going to convince Mack. ''This doesn't need to happen with practice.'' Ward whispered to himself before knocking on the door with his knuckles. The words needed to come from the heart. The only way to convince someone would be by being completely honest and real. Real.

''Hey?'' Mack asked, his daughter clutching his hand from behind him.

''Can I come in?'' Ward questioned, serious expression planted on his face.

''Sure.'' Mack replied, moving from the door to let him in before shutting it. ''Sit.'' He pointed towards the sofa. Mack turned to Hope and planted a kiss on her forehead before stroking her hair gently, ''Go to sleep Hope. I'll see you in the morning, honey.'' He said and she nodded, yawning at the same time.

As soon as Hope was gone and the door in her room was closed, Mack turned to Ward. ''What is it? I already told them I'm not coming back if that's why you came.''

Ward nodded, closing his eyes and tilting his head down as if the words he had just heard broke his heart. It didn't break his, but Ward knew it'd break the hearts of his newly made friends. ''Is that so?'' He questioned, trying to be intimidating, he was trying to find some sort of hesitation in Mack's features, but there was none. It was only confirmation, confirmation that he was staying.

''I can't go back.'' Mack said, ''I can't leave Hope. I lost her once, I can't lose her again. Not this time.''

''Mack.'' Ward said steadily, he looked at him with his cold eyes that the night seemed to consume, ''You are the only real thing in here. The only real person that isn't some sort of combination of codes. Real. Do you even know what that means? Do you know just how far I'd go to be real? You're the only one, Mack.'' He said, how could being real in this fake world mean nothing to Mack?

''It doesn't matter that I'm real. I know I am.'' Mack replied back, his louder tone coming out, ''You're all real enough to me, this world is real enough, Hope is real enough!''

Ward sighed, though he somehow understood Mack. Having the only thing he loved right by his side...Why would he leave? Ward then shook his head, he promised to get Mack back to them. He had to. ''Tell me, what's the best thing to happen to you back in the real world?''

Mack thought for a moment before her face flashed before his eyes. It was her. ''Yo-yo.'' He said, ''Yo-yo is the best thing to happen to me back there.''

Ward nodded, leaning towards Mack, ''Do you know how devastated she'd feel if you never came back? Do you? How heart broken she'd feel if you never woke up from wherever you're asleep. How betrayed and deeply saddened she'd feel for the rest of her life because you exchanged her for something that isn't real. And the worst part? The worst part is that you know this isn't real, and you'd know that you'd be leaving her like that.'' Ward explained, he didn't want to push Mack, but it was the hard truth they all had to learn.

''Living here isn't living.'' Ward finished, with a slight shake of his head he stood up and paced around the room, he saw Mack in deep thought, his dark eyes full of tears and choices.

''Living here isn't living.'' Ward repeated quietly, just above a whisper.

''What's the plan?'' Piper asked after having Mack placed securely in a room.

''We land somewhere safe, rest and then contact who we have to.'' Daisy replied, thinking was too much for every single one of them. Nobody could think straight. Not after what they had all witnessed. Loud gasping came from the room that was made out of glass. They all turned that way with their hearts beating inside their chests. Mack was tearing the cables and wires from his body before falling to the ground with a loud thud.

''What's going on?'' May yelled from the cockpit.

''Just keep the plane steady.'' Coulson yelled back, implying that he'll tell her later.

''Mack!'' Fitz yelled, running into the room and helping him up. The whole team was right behind Fitz, all stepping into the medium-sized glass room. ''Help him up, help him up!'' Someone said before Mack felt different pairs of hands grabbing him from all sides.

He sunk back to the floor as soon as everyone helped him stand up and sobbed. All the team could do was watch. Mack didn't know it would be this hard coming back, returning to reality where everyone he loved were waiting for him. He lost her. He lost Hope.

''Mack...'' Came a voice with a crack that made Mack look up. The team shuffled out of the room, half of them had unshed tears of their own from seeing Mack like that.

''Yo-yo?'' He questioningly said whilst wiping his eyes and tears that were dripping down his scruffy cheeks, ''I came back for you.'' He spoke quietly, his voice quivering when he saw her face right in front of him.

Elena grabbed his face gently, pulling it closer to her own, they were inches apart and her voice was finally able to make a sound, ''Thank you.'' She said, as if him coming back had saved her. It did. It saved her from a life long misery. Her cold breath spread across her face and he leaned in even closer, their lips connected and they shared a soft kiss. She felt Mack's lip shake from under her.

''It's okay...'' She told him in a whisper, ''It's all okay.''

Jemma bit her lip, she wasn't able to watch the interaction between them, the deeply saddened Mack. She couldn't turn to him without seeding her own tears. Fitz sat beside her, feeling the same things she was. What if they had to go through something like that?

''Jemma...'' Fitz said and she turned to him, ''Thanks for coming in there to save us. To save me.''

Jemma almost chuckled, though she still wasn't able to, she simply smiled and placed her head onto his shoulder, ''What else was I gonna do?''

They both crossed universes for each other...different kinds of universes, but they both did. To save one another. It was all worth it.

With Hope tightly asleep and knowing that the world he knew was coming to an end, Ward left the house. Kicking a few rocks on his way into the unknown, Ward thought about it all. He wandered wherever the path would let him, and by the time he finally looked up from the dusty road, he was out of the city which lit up the night from the distance.

Ward enjoyed the view. It was what he always liked. Just sitting and watching and thinking. It was perfect. He sat down onto swaying grass to his right. The wind blew his hair slightly, then his jacket.

''What a way to go...'' He said with half a grin, smiling at the world in front of him that he knew was going to end any second.

''What a way to -''
