[Cargo Hold]

Then before I know it, Coulson is giving up the plane to them and we are all tied together in the cargo hold, "This is my fault. Should've learned kung fu" Fitz says

"Oh, yeah, but I shouldn't have pushed you into the field in the first place. You weren't ready" Simmons says
"It was my job to make a proper threat assessment" Ward says

"I should've seen this coming, too" I say
"We weren't ready" Fitz says
"This wouldn't have happened if Agent May wasn't on the stick. She would have busted out some of her ninja knowhow" Skye says
"Agent May? No, no, no. She transferred from administration" Fitz says

"Well, I've seen her destroy a guy, so..." Skye says

They all look at Ward and I, "You've heard of the Cavalry?" I ask
"Yeah. Well, everyone at the Academy talks about...stories—" Fitz stops realizing

"She's the Cavalry!" Fitzsimmons say

"I told you never to call me that" May says waking up

"I can't believe it. We're sure to get out of here now. How do we—How do we get out of here?" Simmons asks May

May sits up, "We can't go through the doors. They're bolted tied to the pressurization lines. You two geniuses have nothing?" May asks

They look at each other, "Yeah, well, it's hard to concentrate in these intense situations" Fitz says

"Hey. Don't freeze up. Take a breath" I tell him

"You don't need to come up with the whole solution. Just part of it, right?" Ward asks Skye

"Yeah. Pieces solving a puzzle" Skye says

Then we start throwing out ideas, none of them great, "Well, that's clearly the worst idea we've heard yet" Simmons says

"But it could work" Skye says

"Reyes is going to kill us the minute we land, regardless. Blame it on rebels" Ward says
"This way, we have a fighting chance. I'll take it" I say
"What's first?" Ward asks
"We can't get upstairs without going in the lab" Fitz says

"And the only way to release the lab doors is from upstairs" Simmons says

"The first thing is we're tied to the cargo doors. So unless you can..." Skye says

Then there's a cracking sound, "What the hell was that?" Fitz asks

"Her wrist" Ward and I say

Then May makes her way up and takes out the guard before landing back on the ground and popping her wrist back in, "What's next?" She asks

Skye, Fitz, and Simmons stare at her in shock before she unties us, "Okay, we're sure, right? Everyone sure?" Skye asks

"We're all on board" Simmons says
"Yeah, let's do this fast" Fitz says

"No turning back" I say
"No freezing up" Ward says
"Because if we do, then..." Fitz starts

"All of us die" Ward finishes

"We know" Skye says

"All right" I say

Then the engine revs and we look over, "You guys talk a lot" May says

We all move out of the way before May drives through the lab doors before we make our way through. May gets through the lab doors to try and get the plane back in our control. While the rest of us start getting everything done, grabbing all of the supplies we need. We get Skye, Fitz, and Simmons hooked and tied together so our plan can work.
