After the drought landing, we head towards the command center to see Simmons and Coulson, "Our ear comms are usually relayed through the plane, so here's some hardware" Coulson says
"Did the girl do the to us, sir?" Ward asks
"We believe Ms. Hutchins is the victim here. Our theories about her powers have been disproved" Coulson says
"By who?" Ward asks
"I saw a ghost" A what? "I—I know how it sounds, but a man attacked me and then he disappeared" Simmons tells us
"Did you get a good look at him?" May asks
"He dematerialized!" Simmons exclaims
"May, do your systems checks. Is the Cage still shielded?" Coulson asks
"Most of the power's dedicated to it" May says
"This man, or whatever he is, has been tormenting Ms. Hutchins. The Cage might be the one thing protecting her now. We'll inform her" Coulson says
"Sir. Can it be me to talk to Hannah? Her life has been turned upside down and we stuck her in a nightmare box. She thinks she's being punished. Can I please be the one to deliver the good news?" Skye asks
"That a non-corporeal madman is hunting her?" Ward asks
"Again, I think it'd be better coming from anyone else really" Skye says
"All right, King will escort you. I'll head upstairs, activate the emergency transceiver and radio HQ. Ward, take a firearm. Escort Fitzsimmons downstairs, assess the damage, get us up and running—" Simmons cuts Coulson off, "Wait. Guys, um, where's Fitz?" Simmons asks
[Cage]
I grabbed a firearm before I take Skye to the Cage to tell Ms. Hutchins what's happening. As we're walking, I grimace slightly, "Are you okay?" Skye asks
"Yeah—Yeah just a little sore from the rough landing" She raises her eyebrow at me, "Okay maybe I broke a rib or two but I'm fine, I swear" I tell her
She shakes her head, "You don't have to act all tough with me Cass" She tells me before we make it to the Cage
Skye knocks on the door, "Hannah?" Skye asks
"Who's there?" Hannah asks
Skye sits against the door while I lean against the wall, "My name is Skye. We haven't met yet" Skye says
"We crashed, didn't we? Are you all hurt? I'm so sorry" Hannah says
"No. No, no, we're okay. Whatever's happening, it's not your fault. We were wrong. But you need to stay in that room so that you're safe. Something...bad is out here" Skye tells her
"Demons" Hannah says
"I don't know what it is" Skye says
"Do you believe in God?" Hannah asks
"Honestly? Not really" Skye says
"Well, I do. And I know that he's punishing me. And I deserve it" Hannah says
"No. No, you don't. No one does. I had a few nuns around me growing up and they would talk like that. Scaring kids with stories of God's wrath. It made me not want to believe. The only words that stuck with me were something Sister McKenna said, from the Bible, I think. She said, God is love. It's simple and it's a little sappy, but that's the version I like. God is love. The thing that holds us together. And if that's true, I don't think he would punish you for making a mistake. I think he'd forgive a mistake" Skye tells her
"I want to believe that, I do" Hannah says
Then May walks up, "I'll stand guard now. Coulson needs help with the emergency transceiver" May says
