Old S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters
Location: Classified

They all took a flashlight and an ICER as they walked inside the debris. Everything was broken and they had to be very careful not to injure themselves.

Mia followed Coulson and May into the white room she once occupied when she came back from being kidnapped by Ward. It looked intact and Coulson ordered for Simmons to lower the pod.

May went to check if they were spotted while the others went to stand together inside the Zephyr. This was hard for them, their home destroyed.

"Looks like we weren't detected flying in." May announced as she walked over.

"We can't stay long." Coulson said. "Probably shouldn't have come here."

"We have to refuel." Simmons told him. "Also, we had no choice."

Yo-yo nodded. "Because of that room."

"It's the only place that can contain Aida's teleportation ability." Simmons explained.

"It's outfitted with technology we used to stop Gordon, the first guy we encountered with that particular skill set." Coulson added.

"She'll remain inside until we can decide what we want to do with her." Daisy said.

"Why don't we chop off her head like last time?" Yo-yo asked.

Mia stuck up her hand. "I'm in for that."

Maria, quickly, pulled down the woman her arm. She shook her head, but a smile was present on her lips.

"Let's take a moment and think about that, Sweeney Todd." Coulson said. "She's a real person now, and she..."

"She saved Mack." Daisy finished.

"She made herself real in order to escape Radcliffe's programming, so... Now, maybe she's different."

"I highly doubt that." Simmons spoke up. "People don't name themselves 'Madame Hydra' if they're open-minded."

"She did what you said in the Framework, seems better safe than sorry." Yo-yo said again.

"No more killing." May cut in. "There's been enough killing."

"Which leads to the next question." Coulson jumped in.

Daisy nodded. "What do we do with Fitz?"

They all looked at Simmons. It was her boyfriend, maybe she wanted to do it a certain way.

"What do the two of you remember of your Framework lives?" She asked Coulson and May.

"As much as I remember about this life." Coulson told her. "The only difference is, I know..."

"It wasn't real." May finished.

"So it's like you woke up from a dream." Simmons stated.

"No. Not a dream, Simmons." May said. "A life."

"But this isn't you, right?" Simmons asked. "I mean... Does it feel... as real as..." She didn't finish, but walked away with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Daisy stepped forwards. "She's afraid Fitz will be the same guy he was in the Framework."

"No." Yo-yo stepped in. "She's afraid he still loves someone else." She went to walk away which made them all silent.

If Fitz did love Aida...

Mia shook her head. She got why the two women saw those options. Hell, she felt one of them.
