Somewhere In The Air
Location: On Zephyr One

Maria was watching her fiancée. It had been a full day and they just took out the cloaking so the power went to the machines that kept Simmons and Johnsson in the Framework.

The brunette stroked a piece of hair out of Mia her face when someone gasped.

"Simmons is awake!" Maria shouted and the others came running in.

"Piper." Was the first thing Simmons said when she spotted her colleague holding her up. She wore a huge smile.

"Yeah, that's right." Piper smiled. "Thank God you're back. We thought you might never wake up."

"We were trapped." Simmons told her while looking at Daisy and Mia.

The Quinjet shook and they all held onto something, trying not to fall over.

"What's happening?" Simmons asked.

Yo-Yo came running in. "We're being shot out of the sky."

Maria ran to the controls and piloted the plane as best as she could while the others took care of Simmons and waited for Daisy and Mia to wake up. She steered away from the Quinjet behind them that, no doubt, would be ordered to shoot them down by Aida.

Another shot at the Quinjet made it toppel to the side. Something fell in the back of the plane and Maria looked behind her to see the beds have fallen. She, if possible, flew away faster to try and outrun the Quinjet behind them.

"How many hits have we taken?" A voice came from behind.

"Three." Maria answered.

"Hill?" Daisy asked.

The brunette nodded. "The Zephyr's like a tank. She's holding together."

"Yeah, but we had to pull the plug on everything except for flight control to keep the Framework running for you guys." Piper added.

"So, we can't fight back." Simmons stated.

"Or see where it's coming from." Daisy agreed.

"It's coming from behind, that's all I know." Maria said. "Is Mia awake?"

"Not yet." Yo-Yo told her.

"Davis!" Daisy yelled. "Try any evasive maneuver you can!"

"Not the only genius to think of that, thanks, but this thing also moves like a tank, so everybody get off my back." Davis replied.

"I'm helping!" Maria sneered to him.

"We need guns!" Yo-Yo shouted. "We've got power now that these two are put, no?"

"We'll head to the avionics bay and re-patch." Simmons said. "Piper, are you up for manning the weapons?"

"I'm offended you had to ask." Piper answered.

"I'm coming with you." A new voice said and all head turns to that person.

"Mia!" Daisy exclaimed and hugged the woman that was like a fun aunt to her.

"Yeah, hello." The redhead smiled. "But can we celebrate later?"

She ran off with Piper to control the guns while the others tried to find out how bad the damage was on Zephyr One.

Another shot came and the ceiling came down a little.

"The fire's eating our oxygen!" Maria yelled over the alarm.
