"You know when I tell you to call me when you have an emergency, I mean call me when you have an emergency! Not wait to tell me after the crazy fighting and explosions happen!" Asta scolds Fitz and Simmons as they explain all that she missed.

"Yes but we had it handled." Fitz tried to argue.

"Had it handled? Radcliffe has the Darkhold. May is missing. You all were nearly blown up.  And Director Mace has been kidnapped by Russians working with Radcliffe. Tell me how is that handling it?!" Asta shoots back clearly annoyed with her friends.

"Okay, handling it was the wrong choice of words but we need all the help we can get. So, I'm sorry but please both of you calm down before this turns into a frustration argument." Simmons being the voice of reason gets between the two.

"You're right. I'm sorry." Asta says after taking a deep breath before they all enter the lab.

"Alright thats enough." Coulson says before opening his eyes along with Daisy, both who had were just in a simulation fight together.

"Well?" Fitz asks as he disconnects him, Asta doing the same to Daisy.

"Unbelievable." Coulson praises. "It's like the real thing. I could even smell the sweat. But I-I felt strangely cold, though." 

"Well, I tried to make the simulation as real as possible, and since you always leave the air-con on in the base... I exagerated it. Kind of like a silent protest." Fitz admits.

"That was so realistic! I mean, you know, except for the whole stopping in mid-air thing." Daisy says looking around at the others. 

"I don't know. I think it might play out a little differently in real life." Coulson tells her, a tad bbit jokingly.

"So, you can feel in there?" Mack questions.

"Yeah well it's the Framework. It's an immersive sensory experience." Fitz explains to him.

"It was designed as a training exercise, a way for agents to practice sparring or jungle insertions and the like." Jemma adds on.

"Or a way for these two to study my magic without distrupting the area." Asta jokes as she sets the equipment away. 

"Yeah... You can still feel pain while inside that. That's why I stopped the simulation before you hit the wall becasue..." Fitz started to explain.

"Painful. Got it." Mack says.

"So, May's locked up somewhere, but being held in a virtual reality like this? What, to keep her placid?" Coulson questions.

"Radcliffe said she was in the Framework." Mack brings up.

"Yeah but this is just a contianed prototype. It's got limited simulations." Fitz explains.

"If Radcliffe said he built a world, he must of built a serperate, more powerful version." Jemma theorizes.

"If he did, then how do we find it?" Asta questions crossing her arms.

"Run a serach. Try and locate traces of the source code. I might be able to locate where Radcliffe is running his new version." Fitz explains.

"And thats were we'll find May." Coulson finishes.

Davis enters the lab quickly, "Sir, the GPS signal we're tracking in on the directors suit? We're locking in on a location." he says.

"Where?" Coulson questions.

"Nome, Alaska." Davis reveals.

"Well that sounds cold." Asta says seeing the confusion on everyones face at the location.
