Jemma lent hunched over a work bench in the lab. She had been for a wonder around the base and came across screens analysing some broken fragments of monolith.
Before she could carry on walking out the lab she felt a panic attack grappled at her lungs refusing to let her breath, she had hunched over to steady her legs while she clenched her eyes shut forcing the memory of the stone, slipping over her skin dragging her back and swallowing her whole, out of her minds eye.

She jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned, poised, ready to attack, but when she turned to meet the face of Fitz she relaxed, she un-tensed muscles she didn't even realise she was tensing.

Fitz's voice split through the empty silence of the lab, "Jemma, what are you doing down here?"

"I was just... Uh... I went for a walk and..." She pointed at screen still running tests on the samples of monolith rock they collected after the rock had exploded and he had got his Jemma back, "The screen..." Jemma could still barely form a scentence, the only thing Fitz had heard her say without a struggle since she had come back, was his name.

His stomach rumbled reminding him how late it was, Jemma mustn't of eaten since this morning either.
"Come on, sandwich?" He gently took her hand in his and tugged slightly, Jemma gave him a weak smile as he led them out to go make a prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella sandwich with a hint of pesto aioli.
