Second Romanoff (An Aos story)

Purpose in the Machine

~Winter's pov~

Me and Hunter ran in to the living area where Daisy, Mack and Bobbi were "It's Fitz!" Hunter yelled

"Fitz broke into containment!" I exclaimed. We ran into the room where the monolith was.

"Fitz!" Mack yelled.

"Get out of there!" Hunter yelled as Mack pulled Fitz out of the box where the monolith was

"Close it! Close it!" Daisy yelled as me and Hunter closed the door and held it shut as the monolith turned to liquid a couple seconds later to turned solid again, and we let go of holding the door closed.

"Damn it Fitz" Coulson said walking into the room.

"I had to know. I had to know" Fitz muttered.

"I already lost Simmons to that thing, i cannot afford to lose you too" Coulson told him.

"You trying to get yourself killed?" I asked.

"Sorry. I won't give up. I can't give up" Fitz replied.

"None of us want to, Fitz. but..." Skye started but didn't finish.

"Fitz, you tried. Ok? You tried your hardest everybody knows that" Bobbi said to Fitz.

"No, I've missed something. I'm...I've missed something" Fitz said, as Fitz rubbed his figures together.

"What is that?" I asked.

"Proof" Fitz replied and got up and ran out the room.

~Time Skip~

"Sand. Not just sand, Impossible sand" Fitz told us as we were in Coulson office.

"The Monolith's case is a clean room. There's nothing in there but that rock, not even dust" Mack added.

"Unless you blast it open with a shotgun and contaminate everything" Hunter suggested.

"That's not what this is" Bobbi told him.

"Ok, the sand itself, not unusual. Mostly silicon dioxide particles. Just like on Earth" Fitz explained.

"But you're saying this sand is not from earth" Coulson asked.

"Sir, carbon dating shows that-" I started.

"It's predates the Earth by billion years" Fitz told us.

"So you think the rock is a portal?" Daisy asked.

"No. No, I'm proving that it's a portal. Ok? To another planet. A very old planet, a crack in space-time that carried Simmons away and carried the sand back. Which means..." Fitz started.

"She's out there...but it's been months" Coulson said.

"Yeah"

"She could be long gone from wherever this thing dropped her" Coulson told him.

"Yeah"

"She could be dead" Coulson told him.

"Yes"

"But we're going to find out, aren't we?" Coulson asked.

"Yeah" Bobbi added.

"Damn right"

"Yeah"

"Yep"

"Ok, Fitz, what do you need?" Coulson asked.

"Well, more historical data. People have studied this thing for centuries. I need an expert on quantum mechanics and Einstein-Rosen Bridge theory and a sandwich would be nice" Fitz told us.
