Daisy sighed, it's been ten minutes and there wasn't a sign of any of them. They needed to get back to Coulson as soon as possible since he was still watching over the potentially dangerous criminal. ''They're gonna be fine, right?'' Fitz asked silently as he approached Daisy, though he couldn't care less if Mace was hurt, he was the one to release Dave after all, meaning that it was his fault that Simmons- his Simmons had to go through torture again.
Daisy nodded, she knew she would be lying to herself is she said yes, ''I hope so.''
Fitz nodded, bringing out his Scottish accent, ''Yeah, me too.'' He said. Fitz would be devastated if something happened to his best friend too, having the love of his life hurt and injured was enough for him. He approached Jemma again, who sat in the comfortably in the quinjet. She still had Fitz's blazer wrapped around her shoulders, though her body was still shivering.
He took a seat next to Jemma, wrapping her in a warm hug. Fitz's calm expression turned into a shocked one when he saw blood on the top of his blazer where Jemma's shoulder was resting under. ''Let me see that.'' He calmly said, not wanting to argue.
Jemma turned her face towards his, her smile slightly faded away, ''See what?'' She questioned in confusion, not realizing that the blood from her shoulder had stained his blazer. Fitz pointed his finger towards the shoulder, moving closer to her. Jemma's eyes shifted towards the wound, just then did she realize that the blazer was soaked in her blood and her eyes widened just in time. ''I'm so sorry!'' She exclaimed and quickly took it off, making a big deal of it.
Fitz shook his head, ''Don't apologize. Just let me look at that, the bleeding looks pretty bad.'' He explained, earning a smile from her.
''Oh, I think I'll start calling you doctor Fitz again.'' Jemma said with a slight smirk, even though her shoulder had began to sting when Fitz started to unwrap the sleeve of her ripped shirt from around her wound. Jemma hissed under her breath, it wasn't as silent as she thought it was when Fitz spoke up. ''Sorry.'' He said, half closing his eyes at the sight of the hole and burnt skin.
''What did he do to you?'' Fitz asked, attempting to hide the disgust in his tone. He never hated anyone so much in his life. Ward was not far behind on his list, but Dave surely took the first place.
Jemma sighed, not wanting to have this conversation now, ''Can we talk later about this? I just got out of that hell, I want to forget it.'' She said, making Fitz not in approval.
''Yeah me too. Now, this is going to sting,'' He warned before he placed a clean gauze over her injured shoulder. Jemma let out a hiss again as she wasn't able to suppress it. He shot her an apologetic look again and wrapped his blazer back around her shivering figure.
''Guys!'' Daisy yelled, appearing at the entrance of the quinjet, her voice instantly grabbed the attention of the couple, ''May's back...''
They both turner to Daisy and made their way out of the quinjet to find May back with nobody... ''What happened?'' Daisy asked, brushing her combat boots against the long grass.
''Mace's been shot.'' May announced with a straight face, showing zero emotions. She must've felt the same way Fitz did. But they both did not want the new director to die under any circumstances. Jemma made her way forward, ''How is he?'' She asked with a worried look on her face.
''Stable.'' May announced, ''There were doctors around, just in time to save him.''
''What about Mack?'' Fitz questioned, too eager to find out if his friend was in any danger or not.
May nodded with a slight smile, ''Mack's fine. He'll stay with the director until we get Coulson and Dave.'' She explained and with that, they all got onto the quinjet. It was a few minute flight until they reached the wooden cabin, unconscious bodies were laying on the floor outside, giving off the impression that something deadly was going around the place.
''Coulson?'' May said as she entered through the door.
''I'm here.'' She heard him say, Coulson came out from the corner with Dave infront of him, his hands were tied up tightly with some old rope. ''It'll hold.'' Coulson said once he saw May's gaze shifting uncomfortable towards the ropes. She nodded and they proceeded to go out.
Slowly, one of the unconscious men flickered his eyes open, that didn't go unnoticed as Daisy was right next to him.
She snorted with anger, everyone who worked with or for Dave was her hated enemy, she grabbed his now conscious body up while he tried to get away. Then, fear made its way up his face, he stood back carefully, remembering that she was an inhuman. ''Please don't kill me...'' He whispered with a slight sad smile on his face.
Daisy sent a nod his way, ''Lucky for you, it's not what I usually do, but if we are talking about Dave...I'd do it without thinking.'' She explained and the man unarmed man tensed up, he closed his eyes, and hoped for the best. ''You are not Dave, are you?'' She said in a mocking way and crossed her arms.
He shook his head, ''No, of course not.'' He said with a shaky voice.
Daisy wanted to slap her forehead, but she sighed instead, ''That was a rhetorical question.''
The man mental slapped himself and didn't say another word, his head turned towards the noise behind him. It was Dave, trashing and chuckling as he was lead further into the quinjet. ''Don't worry,'' Coulson spoke up before he looked at Dave's speechless worker, ''You'll be coming with us too.''
SHIELD wouldn't let any of them get away, not ever.
''Where's the rest of the team?'' Coulson asked right when they finished loading up the men onto the jet with their hands bound.
May wondered how Coulson would react to the news, ''Mace was shot.'' She said, again, with no emotion in her voice, it seemed like she could deliver these kind of news every single day of the week. Coulson's eyes widened for a few seconds before he could finally speak, ''Shot?'' He asked, not believing what he had just heard was indeed correct.
May nodded, reassuring that he wasn't just imagining things. ''Well, is he alright?'' Coulson questioned again, earning yet another nod from May.
''He's in a stable condition, the doctors know we are working for SHIELD, they said it would be unsafe to get him back to the base.'' She explained, not completely understanding the science behind the doctors explanations. Simmons spoke up suddenly, ''Of course not.'' She said, making everyone on the quinjet smile slightly. They were glad that the torture didn't change who she was. ''We can't just get him onto a place with a bullet stuck in his stomach, or with a bullet out of his stomach since he has not yet recovered.'' She said, considering the chances that the surgery has probably finished.
May headed towards her pilot seat, ''Wheels up in five.'' She announced, leaving the rest of the group sitting silently.
''So,'' Coulson began, breaking the silence between his team- his family, ''How are you two holding up?'' He asked, his gaze shifted towards FitzSimmons and he was unable to hide the slight smile that formed on his face when he saw them both holding hands.
''Okay,'' Fitz said, ''Could have been much worse.'' He looked at his Jemma and smiled with his puppy eyes, he was so glad she was there, by his side, he won't let it change for a good while. Simmons nodded in agreement, ''Could have been much worse.'' She repeated and sighed with a smile on her face. They were going to be just fine.
''So what's the plan?'' Daisy questioned, feeling kind of bad for ruining the moment.
''We get these guys to the base and then come back for Mace.'' Coulson replied, motioning towards the ones who work for Dave and Dave himself. Daisy nodded at his fair point. The rest of the flight was kind of quiet except for the smiles that were aimed at the young, brainy couple.
''Landing in five.'' May announced, they heard the wheels of the quinjet making their way out of the solid frame from below. Coulson's hand rested on his gun in case any of their inmates were to try something funny, he was always going to be super cautions after Dave had pulled off his grand plan. He's not being fooled again.
''Reporting to the base.'' May said once she connected her comms, Fitz heard voices coming back through but he couldn't quite figure out what they said. ''We'll need back up in around five minutes once we land. Prisoners on board.'' She announced and kept on talking until they landed.
The door of the quinjet opened slowly, armed SHIELD agents met them at the door and they proceeded to collect one man at a time. ''Don't let this one out of your sight.'' Coulson warned to an armed lady who took Dave roughly by the arms and pushed him out.
She nodded, ''Yes sir.''
Fitz and Simmons left the quinjet, with one last look at Coulson, Daisy and May, they waved goodbye.
''Where are they going?'' One of the SHIELD agents who worked closely to Mace asked.
''To get Mace.'' Jemma said and walked towards the medical facilities with Fitz by her side.
