"How does your arm feel?" Jemma asks as she removes the sling from around Asta's arm.

"It hurts but I can handle it." Asta says honestly as she slowly moves her arm, wincing a bit. "We need my magic for defense. If May can fight Kree with a hurt leg, I think a few spells with my arm will survive." she half jokes as Jemma helps her up from the makeshift bed.

"Yeah but you also could have a concussion so take it easy, please. You scared us before." she tells the princess.

Asta sighs but doesn't argue, "I'll try not to over do it, I promise."

"Good. Now lets go see if we can fix this Zephyr." Jemma says with a smile as they rejoin the others to start working on ship.

The team were working for a few hours each on their own thing. Daisy worked on comms, Fitz with the engine, May with the cockpit, Deke was off doing... something, and Asta was 'helping' Jemma with the avionics. "Whatever you're doing, do it faster." Coulson instructs as he enters the room with Enoch after going to look for some supplies. "How we lookin'?"

"Terrible." Fitz was the first to reply as he stood up, "Zephyr One's been a crash site for going on 80 years, so it's a mess." he says as he walks around the room.

"It's gonna be a whiile till comms are up and running. 'Cause I'm pretty sure generations of space rats have lived and died in here." Daisy complains as she fiddles with a device.

"Not to ruin the mood, but..." Jemma spoke up as Asta removes the sheet that was covering the station they were working on, "avionics are online." she announces to them.

"Agent Coulson, we are evacuating to the caves for shelter, are we not?" Enoch questions.

"Zephyr flies again, metal man." May replies as she removes some sheets around her work space.

"I am mostly plastic alloy. And Chronicoms do not have gender." he corrects her.

"We dont have weeks. We're gonna outrun the storm. Pull the ground anchors, fly past as many roaches as we can, and lad at the Lighthouse." Coulson explains to Enoch as the team continues to work.

"You are confident,  despite knowing this will surely end in your deaths." Enoch says curiously.

"We're not going to bury our heads in the sand while our friends are in danger." Daisy says as she walks arcoss th room.

Just then sparks go off at the station Fitz was trying to now fix making him move away before the table that Jemma and Asta were setting up shut down making the two girls sigh. "We'll so much for avionics." he says as he closes the panel.

"Rerouting must have overloaded the MPDU" Jemma says before walking away to where she thinks she could fix it.

"Need to try and bypass the subsystems." Fitz says as he goes to follow her.

"I'm...hopeless with this technology so..." Asta says before slowly following the scientists.

______________

In the server room of the ship, Asta was a least somewhat familiar with it. Fitz and Jemma were quick with rambling what they were looking for and what to fix if needed and they were off, at least until Fitz messed with some wires and sparks flew in his face again. "Gah... Damn it." he says as he rubs his eyes.

"Oh, Fitz, please be careful." Jemma tells him as she continues to work.

"We don't need you loosing an eye." Asta jokes.

Fitz looked at the back of Jemma's head with arms ready to shrug causing Asta to crack a smile as she noticed from the corner of her eye. "Well..." he pauses take a breathe, "I'm not trying to electrocute myself. But everything has been reconfigured, so..." he says, annoyed but trying to be calm. He looks back at what he was working on, "I don't even knwo what I'm looking at."
