Daisy entered the room silently, a smile lingered on her face when she saw how gentle Fitz was being with Jemma. She walked closer to the two and pulled another chair near Jemma's bed.

''Daisy...'' Jemma smiled, her weak voice was still present, ''You need to get those injuries checked out right now.'' Daisy couldn't suppress her chuckle, she was truly surprised how worried her friend still was despite the state that she was in.

''I'm fine, I'll do that later, Doctor Jemma Simmons.''

She held it for a slight moment and looked deeply into his eyes, she shook her head, ''Don't do this, Fitz. You can't change his mind and I don't want you getting in trouble.'' Jemma said with an honest look on her face. Fitz sighed, ''But how can he do that? I don't know what he did to you but it surely wasn't nothing.'' He said and gently removed her hand from his own, ''I'll go and talk to him.''

This time, Daisy grabbed his arm and Fitz sighed again with slight annoyance, ''I can't just let him get away with that!'' Fitz yelled, freeing his arm roughly. Daisy flinched at his actions and Fitz instantly shot her an apologetic look, ''Sorry.''

''Sit down, Fitz. I'll tell you everything I know.'' Daisy said, Fitz didn't hesitate as he was very willing to hear the story. Jemma groaned as she sat up, Fitz quickly fixed the pillows behind her, allowing her to sit up more comfortably whilst Daisy couldn't help but smile at the sight.

''Okay,'' She started once Fitz and Jemma were settled, ''Mace said they Dave has already passed the lie detection test, meaning everything he said was true which is hard to believe.'' Daisy said, Jemma glanced at her with confusion, ''Well what did he say?''

Daisy explained everything that the director has told her, she still felt anger for Dave but the pity was still there too. ''Oh my God...'' Jemma whispered silently, she understood how the guy must have felt. Jemma didn't care what Dave has done to her, he chose not to beat her and she was thankful for it.

''Brett is a real animal do be doing this like that...'' Fitz said silently, what Daisy had told him was shocking to them all, ''I mean beating a homeless man and turning him into one of his 'followers', that's low!'' He exclaimed, suddenly feeling a rush of anger which was kind of useless since Brett was going to be locked up. Jemma nodded in agreement right before the doctor entered the room.

''Hello, Doctor Simmons.'' The doctor greeted her with a warm smile which Jemma instantly returned, ''I'm just here to run a couple of tests.'' She announced, her gaze landed on Fitz and Daisy, who were already leaving the room.

''I'll be just outside, Jem.'' Fitz announced and closed the door behind him softly with Daisy by his side.

''I'm happy to announce that so far you're doing just fine. We still do need to keep you in today as you are not fully recovered yet, the burns on your wrists were quiet severe but they will heal and you will be able to take the bandages off, it will leave a scar, though.'' The doctor explained as he started to pull out tools out of the briefcase to continue with her checkup.

''So, when are they releasing him?'' Fitz asked and sat down on one of the chairs in the hall. Daisy shook her head, wishing she knew the answer too. Just to their luck, director Mace and a few other armed SHIELD agents appeared across the hallway with Dave in between them.

''What's happening?'' Daisy yelled just loud enough for Mace to hear.

''We're letting him go, these agents will drive him back to the city.'' Mace replied as he waved good bye with a smile. The agents cautiously walked Dave towards the outside of the playground where the transport was set, they were ready to drive him back.

Mace turned back towards his office not saying another word. Daisy sighed as she remembered everything that she's been told about Dave who was apparently a good guy all along.

''I can't stay mad at him.'' Fitz whispered, and without another word, he took off towards the exit of the playground. Dave came into his view as the agents prepared a 4x4 car and were about to stuff him in there. ''Wait!'' Fitz yelled as loudly as he could, stopping every single worker and agent that was there. With all eyes turned to him, he took a deep breath before he motioned for them to carry on by waving them off.

He slowly approached Dave, who didn't dare to look at Fitz or anybody else, ''I'm Fitz.'' He said, extending his warm hand for Dave to shake.

''Dave.'' Dave replied as their gazes locked in, he shook Fitz's hand gently before giving him a warm smile. Fitz returned the smile without any hesitation, after all, he did help his Jemma in a way.

''I'm really thankful for what you did for her and for Daisy. Thanks for not hurting Jemma.'' Fitz gave him the best thankful look he could possibly pull, ''If you need anything, call me and I'll help you out.'' Fitz said, offering him a piece of paper with his phone number on it. After all, Fitz did remember that Dave didn't have a home.

Dave smiled at him, ''I will keep that in mind.'' He said as he took the folded paper with thankfulness.

An agent stepped towards them, breaking off their conversation, ''I'm sorry, Agent Fitz, but we must leave now.'' He reported, earning a nod from Fitz who stood there awkwardly once they all stepped inside the car. The sound of the big door opening brought him back out of his thoughts and he soon made his way towards the room which Jemma was in. His Jemma.

His eyes stopped on the door, he heard the shuffling of many feet on the floor inside, he opened the door slowly which revealed the whole team in that one small room.

''We're so glad you are okay, agent Simmons.'' Coulson said, offering her a cup of tea which she gratefully took, ''It's kind of hot.'' He warned, before handing in to her completely.

Jemma sighed at the sight of Daisy, who still seemed crumpled, she instantly knew that Daisy hasn't reported her injuries to anyone. ''Daisy,'' Jemma sighed again before giving her a look that warned her to do it right now. Daisy smiled playfully, ''Whatever you say, doctor Simmons.'' She said with emphasis, making a few of the team members chuckle.

Mack shuffled towards Fitz, ''See, Turbo, I told you she's gonna be just fine.'' He said, tapping Fitz on the back gently who was just smiling at the sight of smiley Jemma.

The sun was slowly setting, a cold breeze slashed across his face gently, with a sigh, he reached for his pocket and found the thing that he was looking for. Slowly and gently, he unfolded the paper and read the digits on it with a smile.
