The teleport was almost instant. Gideon lets go of Emilie and she falls to the floor gasping and holding her stomach.
"Where are we?" She demands while fighting the urge to puke.
"An ancient temple." He says. "Built hundreds of years before Christ."
"How did you find me?"
"That tranquilizer had a nano tracker."
She looks around at the sandstone walls and floor. "If I'm so important, why didn't you just have your watchdog goons take me from the house instead of trying to burn me alive?"
"You hadn't fully matured into your powers. You were useless to me at the time. I needed you to embrace what you are."
She turns to look at him and notices the tattoo on his hand. "That tattoo. My father had one just like it."
"Me and your father were part of the same Order of Angels. We were Guardians of Humans. I wish things could have turned out differently for him, but he needed to die in order for you to carry out the prophecy."
"You started the fire killed my parents?" Says Emilie emotionally.
"God favors humans above all other creatures," He says kneeling beside her. "We, his most devoted followers, went into battle when Lucifer waged his war against him. And yet he treats humans as his greatest creation."
"So, what's my part now in all of this?"
"You're the only Nephilim to ever survive the power they've received. That makes you a very special to the Dark Prince."
"So, you sacrifice me and kill all of humanity?" Scoffs Emilie. "That's a pretty generic apocalypse."
"Sacrifice? That won't be necessary. We'll be needing you wipe out the humans."
Emilie's stare intensifies. Death was the worst possible outcome she had considered, becoming a weapon to slaughter billions of people hadn't even crossed her mind. She tries to tap into her powers, but she feels empty.
"Feeling weak? Powerless?" He asks holding up the cuff he put on her wrist. "These shackles have been engraved with the High Speech preventing the use of your powers. This temple was once used to sacrifice our kind as punishment for going against HIS good grace." He places the second cuff on her other wrist and calls in 2 angels who shackle her to a wall inside the sandstone room.
"I think I have something." Says Fitz stressed from a long night of trying to decode the script. Simmons runs over to his computer.
"Fitz you're amazing." She says kissing him and running off to find Coulson who is in his office with Mae talking to Director Mason.
"I thought you said Fitz-Simmons was already in the process of translating the writing?" Questions the Director.
"They were...they just..." Starts Coulson.
"We have something!" Says Simmons charging through the door. "Fitz was right. The stone was a portal. Gideon must have come through it when we got the energy reading."
"Forget the stone. What does he need with Emilie?" Ask Coulson.
"She's the key...to an apocalypse."
"Great." Says Director Mason. "The press is gonna be all over me after this one."
"You should probably start prepping for that." Says Coulson, cutting the feed for the Director.
