Forged In Hellfire

Part 2(Ch2)

Robbie runs into the house and sees Emilie, pale in a pool of blood on the floor, still alive.

"I called 911..." Says Gabe.

Robbie gets down next to Emilie and lifts her up to a seated position. He notices to hard knots on her back.

"What the...?" He lifts up the back of her shirt and sees two white bone-like protrusions. "Gimme my phone."

Gabe grabs his phone off the counter and Robbie calls Coulson.

"Coulson, I need your help. It's Emilie."

"What's wrong?" Asks Coulson, concerned.

"I don't know, there's blood everywhere. Gabe called for an ambulance..."

"We're on our way."

"What's wrong?" Asks Mae.

"Emilie." He calls Mac. "Mac, Emilie's been hurt, I need you guys to get there ASAP. We'll meet you at the drop off point in 45 minutes. Have Fitz intercept an emergency frequency and call off Emergency Services en route."

"What's going on Robbie?" Asks a confused Gabe. "She needs a hospital not SHIELD."

"A hospital can't help her." He says cradling her body.

The team speeds into the driveway where Mac carries her out. Simmons starts her on a small bag of emergency fluids from her field kit and Robbie follows them with Gabe in the Charger. Coulson is waiting with Zephyr One when they get to the drop off point.

Once onboard they get Emilie to medical for Simmons to examine.

"What happened?" Asks Simmons.

Robbie rolls Emilie towards him and lifts up the back of her shirt.

"Oh my...let's get her on her stomach." Says Simmons grabbing a pair of scissors and cuts her shirt open. "Is that...bone?"

"She's burning up." Mentions Robbie.

Simmons rinses the blood away from the protrusions. "I'm not sure what to do other than try to reduce the fever and keep her comfortable."

She injects Emilie with some meds to ease her pain and bring down her fever.

"She's stable, but all we can do now is monitor her." Says Simmons sorrowfully. Gabe wheels himself to the door as they patch up the wounds on Emilie's back and get her situated to be put in a containment cube for observation.

Gabe finds Robbie in the cube with her once she has been settled in. He's holding her hand and wiping her head with a cool cloth.

"She gonna be ok?" Asks Gabe entering the cube.

"She'll pull through." Says Robbie hopeful.

"She's one of them, isn't she?"

"One of what?" Asks Robbie, not liking Gabe's tone.

"She's inhuman."

"No...she's...something else." Admits Robbie.

"How long have you known?"

"Why does it matter?" Questions Robbie.

"She could be dangerous, Robbie."

"Dangerous?" He repeats in disbelief. He can't believe what he's hearing. "She's not dangerous. All you know about inhumans is what you see on TV. What has she ever done to you, huh? To us?"
