Another World /2/ Marvel FF

A.N.- Gonna be real, this is where things get... complicated to put it lightly.

"The Gravitonium from Deke's gravity gizmo was intensely compressed, refines in a way that I cannot duplicate with the raw element we got from the Principia." Fitz informs the team of their progress after another Anomoly fear flare.

"Let alone inserting it into this new device." Jemma brings up.

"So I was hoping that- that Deke might be able to ahve some more insight into exactly how it works. Deke?" Fitz says, but all he does is stare at them with this look again. Fitz slams the table gaining Deke's attention properly with a gasp. "Deke!"

"Okay. Well, I don't know much about the stuff inside. I just know that it's saved- saved my ass, like, a thousand times." he explains before staring again, this time at Jemma.

"Okay well, the short amount of time that we bought ourselves is up, so whats the plan?" Daisy asks.

"Well, I've temporarily plugges the damn, but it could burst at any minute, releasing more of these... anomalies into the base." Fitz says as he begins to pace.

"Or worse, out into the world." Jemma adds on.

"Are you okay, by the way? That could not have been easy." Daisy asks, making Asta stare at the medic with wide eyes.

"You were attacked? Why didn't you tell me?" Asta questions looking to her friend.

Jemma sighs, "I didn't want to worry you. I'm fine. The astronaut isn't even my greates fear. Goodness knows what else could come crawling out of there."

"Just... Trut me. I can figure this out. I just- I need..." Fitz tries to tell them before sighing and leaning on the desk shaking his head. "I'll experiment all night if I have to."

"Ok. So, what do we do?" Daisy asks.

Fitz stands again, "Maybe I can find some of Dr. Franklin Hall's original notes." he suggests.

"Yeah, that could give us some insight into the nature of the element." Jemma theorizes.

"I'll see what I can find on the datebase." Daisy offers, gaining a nod from the two as they head in different directions of the room exits.

"And please be careful!" Deke says making them stop as Asta looks at him confused, much like the others. "Just because we keep putting ourselves in increasingly perilous situations, which is worrisome, and I just don't want anything to happen to you- your- to your brains. 'Cause they're so smart that, if- we- we need those to survive." he rambles making them all increasingly confused.

"Okay... for the sake of your worrying, why don't I just, go with them... Strength in numbers." Asta says walking past him slowly, and giving them a look to go with it.

"Thanks Deke." Jemma replies simply, while Fitz bites his tongue and follows the two girls out of the room.

'Asta!'  Fitz calls for her making her teleport into the lab.

"What? What is it?" Asta questions not seeing the imediate threat as he looks at her panic'd.

"Oh no." Fitz whispers as he stares past Asta, and up over her sholder. He grips her wrist in fear. She looks around to see nothing before looking back at Fitz to see the fear remaining on his face. He was seeing something she couldn't. Focusing on her magic, she uses it to help her see whatever it was that Fitz was seeing. Taking a deep breath she then slowly turns, Fitz's grip on her dropping as she looks up to the second floors landing to see... Fitz? But his posture was different, and he wore different clothings and the look in his eyes was similar to that of the one in the Framework.
