"Elizabeth?" Simmons calls quietly, peeking into each room as she made her way down the hall. She had to admit to herself that she was scared of Elizabeth. Simmons had to make sure that her voice and her face remained calm, so it wouldn't upset Elizabeth.

From what Simmons knew, Elizabeth could only control air and water. She also knew she couldn't control her emotions and those triggered her affinities, which made her dangerous. But right now she wasn't angry, she was scared.

"Elizabeth? Where are you?" She was about to open the door to her bunk before she heard sobs coming from the next one over... May's room. She walks over to the door and knocks lightly. The sobs inside stopped. "Elizabeth? Can I come in?"

A soft, raspy voice makes it's way through the door, "Y-yes."

Simmons sighs in relief at the response. She slowly opens the door. Elizabeth was on the bed, curled up in the far corner. She was hugging the pillow and had gone back to crying. Simmons sits on the bed and pulls her into a hug.

Elizabeth tenses up and sucks in a sharp breath. After a few seconds she relaxes. Elizabeth had stopped crying and was now trying to control her breathing.

"Thank you, Simmons right?" Elizabeth asks pulling away.

Simmons nods, "You're very welcome, Elizabeth. So are you ok?"

"I feel bad, I almost killed two of your teammates and yet you treat me normally. I can't help but wonder why?"

"You were scared and angry. The two mixed together never goes well. You need a friend, not an enemy. May shot you because she assumed that you were dangerous. She even told Coulson that it was the wrong call when he talked to her. She is sorry."

"And I forgive her. Ever since my mom and dad died I had always felt angry. Then when I exploded on the HYDRA agents most of it disappeared but I still feel it in waves. My happiness almost never shows. But I feel it slowly bubbling inside. I want to thank you guys. But I don't know how to. You're a doctor yes?"

"Yes I am."

"So tell me what is one of your favorite plants that have medical uses?"

"Um..." She takes a bit to answer but when she does she is excited, "Sweet Violet, it makes wonderful teas and is very relieving."

"Ok so, do you have a favorite pot?" She asks.

"Yes in fact I do. And it happens to be empty. Would you like me to fill it with soil?" She asks standing up. Simmons was starting to warm up to the girl feeling more relaxed by the minute.

"That would be helpful. Would you like me to help?" Elizabeth asks back, also standing. Elizabeth was feeling a lot better. Simmons reminded her of her older sister that had died of cancer two years ago.

"No I got it. Be right back!" She yells over her shoulder as she makes her way to the lab. Coulson was talking to May who looked far better than she had been. As soon as she entered their conversation stopped.

"Simmons how is she?" Coulson asks as she flies by him.

"She is great. Gotta get something..." She trails off looking into her trunk of plant things. "Ah ha! Got it!" She pulls out a medium sized pot that Fitz had given to her when they were at the Academy. She pours some soil into it and picks it up. "Gotta go!" She says before heading out. Coulson and May share a look and follow.

"I got it!" Simmons says bursting back into the room.

"Sweet. Set it here." Elizabeth said pointing to a spot on the floor.

"What is she doing in my bunk?" May asks Coulson. Both of whom were standing in the doorway.

"No idea but what's going on?"

"No idea. Should we intervene or watch or go?"

"Let's just watch. This could be interesting."

Elizabeth sat in front of the pot. Her body was facing them but her focus was on the pot. She put her hands on each side of the pot and they could see her eyes going from a light green to a dark pulsing green. She stayed like that for a bit before a little sprout popped up from the soil.

They all gaped as the little sprout twisted and turned and finally bloomed. The violet was vibrant and alive. It was big and tall with a bunch of the little flowers.

Elizabeth removes her hands as her eyes turn back to normal. She then looks up and smiles. Her smile fades as she sees their faces.

"That- that was wonderful!" Simmons exclaimed with a clap of her hand. Behind her Coulson and May nod in agreement.
