No more living aliens could be found in the Lighthouse. The team was still baffled from Talbot having taking in the Gravitonium and having better control of it compared to Ruby. Along with taking Coulson with him into the sky, they needed to figure a plan of some sort.

"Okay, so, how much Gravitonium did Talbot use?" Fitz questions as he looks up at the hole.

"All of it." Jemma informs as she enters the room.

"Maybe it's not so bad. I mean, he did just annihilate a bunch of Remorath warlords." Deke chimes in.

"But the side effects of Gravitonium are catastrophic. Ruby absorbed just a fraction..." Jemma starts to explain.

"And it drove her completely insane." Fitz finishes.

"Yeah, well, she wasn't all that stable before." Yo-yo comments.

"Niether was Talbot." May brings up.

"With his previous brain injury, I fear that Talbot will almost certainly suffer a major psychotic break." Jemma explains with a sigh.

This causes May to sigh, "We need to find them."

"The Lighthouse only just came back online. It could be hours before all systems are fully functional." Fitz tells them as he checks over the still rebooting computers.

"Where's Mack?" Yo-yo questions, looking around the room.

"Went to make sure the threat's been neautralized." Piper tells her.

______________

The team needed to figure out a plan to help Coulson, and maybe stop Talbot. Mack did find one alien still alive but that interagation did not last long before it died.

Asta stayed with Fitz and Deke to help get the Lighthouse back online. "This is an outright disaster." Fitz says as he walks around the room a bit frustrated. "Could take hours to rewire this antiquated system, and by then, who knows what cosmos the Remorath will escape to." he rambles

"Fitz look." Asta tells him, making him turn as the computers screens came back online without issue. 

Out from behind, walked out Deke. Fitz looked confused and Asta impressed that he had done this so quickly. "Yeah. Fixing old electronics was kind of my thing back in the day... in the future." he explains to the two with a shrug.

"Deke you continue to surprise me." Asta says with a smile while Fitz lifts his hand to give him a high five.

Deke grabs his wrists and lowers it confused, "What? What are you doing?" he asks, looking around to make sure they weren't seen.

"What? It's a thing. It's a thing that people do to celebrate." Fitz tries to explain with the motion.

Deke shakes his head, "Not cool people. Come on, man. You're better than that." he says letting go of his wrist.

The whole interaction was highly amusing to the Asgardian, causing her to get a look from Fitz before he step around to the desk to get to work. "Just took Talbot flying out of here like some sort of a wizard in order to breathe fresh air again." Deke comments as he looks up at the hole.

"Well, being a SHIELD Agent has it's risks." Fitz replies as he begins to work on the computer.

"Being a hero in general has it's risk. You get use to it." Asta adds on as she sits on the table next to where Fitz was working.

Deke turns around to face the two, "Yeah, but that's just it. I'm not a SHIELD Agent. Or hero. But for some reason, I'm still hanging around this rusty drainpipe." he tells them with a sigh.
