Elemental Problems

One Last Breath

May caught Elizabeth before she landed and gently set her down. She applied pressure to the wound and kept talking to her.

"Two agents down, I need medical teams here, now!" Coulson yelled into the coms.

"We're coming sir!" Simmons worried voice rings through. "You four come with m-" She continues before cutting out.

"Coulson," Skye says, he looks down at her, she had tears in her eyes, "I'm good, I think I fractured my right leg but I'm good, go help May with Elizabeth."

Coulson nods and crawls over to May and Elizabeth. Coulson hears May speaking fast to Elizabeth, "Hey, you need to stay with me okay? Helps coming. Do you hear me, Elizabeth? Keep your eyes open, come on, dammit, stay with me." And so on.

Coulson took in the damage. She had three bullet wounds, obviously, that wouldn't stop bleeding. She had a steady trickle of blood coming from the corners of her mouth. She had tears coming from her eyes.

But despite all this she was smiling up at May. "May," She croaked out, immediately silences May, "I need you t-to know that I'm.... I'm going to be fine. I'll be back." With that she closed her eyes and didn't take another breath.

At that point, Simmons and the other doctors had arrived. Coulson drags a struggling May back, while Simmons and two of the doctors try to revive Elizabeth.

Skye was getting checked at while crying but other than that didn't do anything.

Suddenly, Simmons and the others were thrown back from Elizabeth with a crack. Everyone turned their attention to Elizabeth and saw something. She was floating a bit off the floor. On the ground, branches intertwined to make a board. Elizabeth was lowered by something. The branches continued to rise and intertwine, until they made a complete dome above her.

As soon as the last branch stopped, the wind died and the doctors were released. One each side of the structure that held Elizabeth were two rods. When Simmons tried to touch the main structure you could hear the crackles of a fire, the roar of waves, the rumble of earth, and the gusts of air. The only thing it would allow them to touch was the handles, as they soon figured they were. Two men came and lifted the structure.

Once they were on a quinjet then a pulsing flame hovered over Elizabeth. They all stared at it as it continued to pulse.

After a couple of seconds Coulson asks, "What is it, Simmons?"

She continued to stare before she recognized the pulsing pattern. She turned towards them and said, "It's a heartbeat."
