Chapter Text
"I can't believe you talked us into doing this," Fitz said as they entered the Playground.
"This is only opportunity we may have to show them the LMD's, Fitz." Radcliffe said stubbornly.
"You mean the only opportunity for you, Radcliffe. Fitz and I made it clear when we left that we wouldn't bother with Shield anymore."
This was the last place Fitz wanted to be and Jemma Simmons knew it. They had only accepted the call from Shield at Radcliffe's urging. He wanted to show off his LMD's in hopes that Shield would want them. He had called them over the past couple of months, but no one had called back either because of Fitz and Simmons or because they were too annoyed with Radcliffe to do so.
As the guards escorted them through the hallway, May approached them. Out of her, Mack, and Coulson, she had been the only who had accepted their departure without much thought. In fact she had understood why they had left. Shield had taken a toll on the rest of them as well, including her.
"Hi May." Simmons smiled, trying her best to avoid making the conversation seem awkward.
"It's good to see you again, Simmons."
"Does Coulson know we're here?
"Mack is telling him right now."
Simmons held onto Fitz's hand. The last time that they had seen Coulson was in a fight between him and Fitz after the hearings. Who knew how things would between them now.
"Right this way" May turned around, Fitz, Simmons , and Radcliffe following her .
