The three of you ran through the danger, shooting back at those that shot at you, hoping that the aim of the rebels was as bad as the aim of any stereotypical movie villain, and looking for any cover that you could duck behind. Reyes finally found a table in an evacuated shop that she turned onto its side, motioning for your little trio to duck behind it.
"Your men need to fall back now, or we'll never make the runway," Phil pointed out. He fired some shots, taking down the nearest rebel shooter. "Now--your truck. Let's go!" He motioned for you to go behind Camila and himself, and as they ran through the gunfire, they worked together, covering each other until they made it to some foliage by the temple.
Fitz, Simmons, and Skye were holed up right by the entrance of the temple, unable to proceed in fear of the rebels shooting at them. Ward, who was with them, stepped out of the temple, elongating a shiny rod-like weapon.
"Tell your men to get down," Phil ordered Reyes.
"Al suelo!" she shouted to her men.
They hit the dirt, and Ward did a (completely unnecessary) front flip onto the ground in front of the temple, landing in a total superhero pose, and shoved the weapon into the ground. A pod floated up from the air, and everyone ducked as it radiated a pulse that knocked everyone else back several yards.
Reyes's truck was now in sight, and with the threat neutralized, she stood up and took the initiative to run to it. "Vámonos!" she called.
Ward motioned for Skye, Fitz, and Simmons to come out, and May pulled up in the SHIELD SUV just in time to block gunfire from the last rebel still standing.
Reyes opened the door to the truck, and your father told her to get in first with a polite, "After you."
"After you," she returned.
"Just get in the truck, Dad," you said. He turned and hopped in the truck, closely followed by you, then Reyes. You hadn't planned this, but you were now acting as a barrier between your father and the still-flirtatious comandante. Even as the truck closely followed May to the Bus, she still flirted shamelessly with your dad. Thank goodness you were in the middle so that she couldn't touch him without awkwardly reaching over you.
The ramp to the Bus opened as soon as it was in sight, and May drove the SUV and parked it quickly on the ramp. Ward got out and immediately began to close the ramp, to the immediate protests of Skye and the scientists. Escorted by Reyes's soldiers, the three of you ran to the plane, making it onto the ramp only just in time.
"Cut it pretty close, sir," Ward commented.
"Didn't want to leave anyone behind," Phil responded.
"I got to say it," Skye began, out of breath. I miss my van."
"Now, what was the problem?" Ward asked the similarly winded Fitz.
" As I said before, this device has a high-frequency, fluctuating, sub-material compression--"
"Fitz, in English," Ward demanded.
Annoyed with Ward's lack of finesse, Fitz restarted in simple terms. "The 0-8-4 is fueled by tesseract technology. Hydra. World War II. Captain America. It's full of lethal amounts of gamma radiation."
"Gamma--you're saying it's nuclear?" Ward questioned.
"No," Phil cut in. "He's saying it's much, much worse."
After a moment, everyone took a collective step back from the duffel bag in which the 0-8-4 was contained.
"You gigantic drama queen," you muttered.
