Elemental Problems

Fire

After the plant Elizabeth had been very cooperative. Telling them everything about her attackers. Skye had approached her and introduced herself. After almost breaking down in tears, Elizabeth had hugged her saying she was sorry. Skye had looked shocked but then comforted her. Skye then assigned her a room which she had filled with various plants.

After that she had been fairly quiet. When nighttime came around and everyone else had gone to bed, only Coulson and Elizabeth remained. Coulson was in his office sorting through files when Elizabeth came in.

"Why aren't you asleep?" Coulson asks without looking up from his work.

"Couldn't. Mind if I sit here?" She asks pointing to a chair in the corner.

"Sure. Just don't put your feet on the table."

"No probs." She says, plopping down onto the chair.

For about five minutes everything was fine. It was all quiet and peaceful. That is, until Coulson smelt something burning. He immediately jumped up and ran towards the fire alarm in the corner. But then he stopped. What he saw before him made him smile.

It was Elizabeth. She had headphones in and was listening to music. She had her head bent slightly, looking at the coffee table. For the first time since she had gotten there she looked relaxed. Coulson then remembered what he was doing and scramble towards the alarm.

As he passed the coffee table something burns his only hand. "Damn!" He exclaims looking down. He stops again and doesn't pull the fire alarm. Instead he sits in the chair across from Elizabeth. Coulson had finally seen what Elizabeth was looking at.

It was a small figure. It resembled a person dancing across the table. Only this wasn't a person. The figure was made of fire. It danced gracefully in circles. Jumping and twisting and spinning. It made him smile again.

He glanced towards Elizabeth and saw her eyes. They had fire in them. It moved and flickered inside her eyes. Red, orange, black, white, and yellow. This went on for three more minutes until Coulson reaches forward and pulls out one of her earbuds.

The fire disappeared in a puff of smoke and Elizabeth looked up, frightened. She then realizes who it is and she smiles.

"Oh hey, didn't see you there."

"Hey. That was a lovely show."

"What was?" She asks honestly.

"The fire. You were making it dance. It was beautiful."

"Oh the fire. I thought that was in my head. Sorry if I burnt your table."

"Actually you didn't. Which is pretty good. Why don't you head to bed, you've been through a hell of a day."

"That's true. Although I wish I could have met you guys on different terms." She says, sadly, standing up.

"As do I. Well goodnight Elizabeth, see you tomorrow."

"Goodnight, sir." She says walking out of the office, leaving Coulson to finish his work.
