"They could be fighting for their lives." Fitz says, now stressed as Ophelia revealed she promised the Russian revenge on Coulson. "You need to go back and get them out of there." he reasons with her.

Ophelia was pacing, "I'm- I'm sorry. I'm having trouble thinking clearly, and analyzing the situation."

Asta quickly goes to her side, "Hey, okay. Don't think about it. Don't think." she tells her calmly earning a nod, "Yeah, okay now, what do you feel like you should do?" she asks her.

"I don't know..." Ophelia whispers in a panic tone as tears gather in her eyes. "I'm scared."

"Hey, its okay to be scared. I'm always scared before I go on missions. It's normal." Asta tries to reason with her.

Ophelia shakes her head, "Agent May had a gun ready to kill me." she reminds the blonde, before she stops shaking, "I don't want to die." she says in realization, the tears gather some more as she turns away from Asta and Fitz as he joins them. "I'm afraid to die." she says as she lets out a sob.

Asta looks to Fitz, unsure of what to do now. "But you feel compasion, yeah?" Fitz brings up, "Because if, if you really believe that you are capable of love.." he tells her, causing her to look back to them.

"And being loved." Ophelia whispers.

"If you really believe that, th-tha-that all the hurtful things you did were not your choice, make your own choices now. Do the right thing." Fitz explains to her.

"Focus on empathy." Ophelia replies with a small nod, "Not fear."

"Yes. Exactly. Think about what the others are feeling." Asta tells her with a nod.

"The people you put in a life or death situation." Fitz adds on as she wasn't looking at them, "Ophelia." he says to gain her attention. "They don't want to die either."

"You have the power to save them. Not me. You. So please, save them." Asta pleas with her.

Ophelia teleported away to save the Agents, Asta and Fitz were left to pace, worry, and wait. When she reapeared with no one they were surprised, "Ophelia whats wrong?" Asta questions, but she received no answer as Ophelia grabs her and Fitz and teleports away.

Teleporting into a submerging building was surprising but Asta was fast to realize the plan. Mack was the only one still in the room, hooked into the framework. Asta puts up a forecfield around the four of them to keep the water from rising anymore as Fitz goes and grabs Mack and Ophelia does the same. "Come on." she shouts to the princess as the water now floods around them, cracking through the shield.

"Go. I can get out myself." Asta tells them as she focus' on holding the water preasure.

"Asta!" Fitz shouts before he teleports away as Ophelia listens.

"Stuck underwater twice. Good one Asta. At least I can get out this time." Asta mumble to herself before opening a portal and going through as the water hits her.

Asta falls on her knees as she portals onto the quinjet that she hoped someone would be on. Soaking wet, she moves her hair and looks up to see Jemma and Piper looking at her shocked. "Oh I'm so happy to see you." she tells them with a breathy laugh as she stands. As she goes to take a step towards them she sees Ophelia and Fitz unconcious on the ground next to Mack. "What?"

Looking back to the other girls, she sees them both holding ICERS up towards her, "Woah! Woah!" Asta says holding her hands up, but not putting a shield up, feeling a bit to drained to do so just yet. "There is no need for that!"
