the come down ― fitzsimmons ( @shieldscientist )
⚜ chronicom hunters are after them for a reason unknown to fitz, they have no currency and his hope of getting out of this alive - back to jemma - is dwindling.
but then there she is. she's standing right in front of him, and he cannot for the life of him get his brain to compute how this is possible. she's supposed to be in the future. he's supposed to be going to save her.
he can only utter her name and see the expression on her face, the tears in her eyes, until a voice is heard / a familiar voice. daisy. and there she is, stumbling into the engineer's sights. she mumbles his name, but she's not surprised by seeing him, as if she knew he would be here. they are here for him, looking for him.
confused, he doesn't have time to ask questions before the hunter appears with some sort of alien transportation tech, however daisy manages to delay him with her powers ( her aim is faulty, but affective ). he can tell there is something off about the two of them, but he's so relieved to see their faces and considering their situation he doesn't have the time to inquinsion it.
daisy covers them as enoch assists jemma in finding the zephyr they arrived in, however something has impaired jemma in a way that is making it frustratingly difficult to find safety. luckily, piper is able to find them and guide them back to the zephyr and daisy joins them shortly after and they are finally on course back to earth.
⚜ out of breath, his heart racing, he's looking at jemma now ― her pupils are dilated and she looks haggard and still he's never seen anything more beautiful. he has so many questions and he doesn't know what to ask first.
❛ did you ― get pissed on alien cocktails, what― how are you even here right now? enoch, ❜ fitz gestures toward the chronicom, ❛ said you were in the future and that i was needed to prevent an extinction level event. ❜
he wants to kiss her. and he almost does, but something stops him.
there's a ring. a specific ring on a specific finger, and he catches himself staring at it.
