An angry ward walks into the room not looking at me

"So, what did that get us?" He asked Coulson

"Skye's sending us the rest of her decrypted files on centipede. But we have her audio. I've loaded it up." Fitz said even though Ward was not talking to him.

"Nice work." Coulson said

Ward gives him a glare and Coulson just smirks

"Now, using motion estimation, Bayesian Inference, a beam splitter and a little defraction theory, our mystery man...appears." Fitz said doing his work

"It's like magic. But it's – it's science." He said amazed at his work

"Explosives in the case?" Ward asked

The two men begun to talk.

"please clam down. Just let me check your vitals." The science man said

"I feel fine. I want to feel more. Where's the doctor? Where is she?" The second man said

"I-If you don't settle down I'll have you sedated." The first man said again stepping backwards As the second man throws a chair

"Where is she?" He screamed and the hologram stopped

"Wait, did you – did you see that on his arm?" Fitz asked as he rewinds it to the part when he lifts the chair

"What does that look like to you?" Coulson asked

"A centipede." Ward said

Simmons then walked over excited

"It's an intravenous filter for his blood. This goo, sir – very similar to the serum Dr. Erskine developed in the 40s for the –" she was cut off by Coulson

"Super soldiers."

"I'm reading alien metal, gamma radiation, the serum, every known source of super power thrown in a blender." Simmons tells him

"We need to see the origin of the blast. Run it back from the last point recorded." Coulson says turning to Fitz

Later we were all talking again well I was listening

"Extremis. It's new. Completely unstable." Coulson sighs

"Poor man didn't bring an explosive. And Mike has the same stuff in his system." Simmons said

"And judging by his strength level, a lot more." Ward said

"So, any minute now Mike is gonna –" Fitz begun but was cut off

"He'll take out anyone within a two block radius." Simmons realised

"Well, you wanted a bomb." Coulson says to Ward by the doorway

"Sir? He didn't explode because he was angry. The two are connected, it's – it's kind of a chemical surge. But, calming him down will buy him a minute at most. He will detonate within the next few hours." Simmons told him

"Solution?" Coulson asked

"Isolate him, get him away from people?" Simmons replied

"Or?" He asked again

"Put a bullet though his brain." Fitz sighed

"If he's dead this irradiated metabolic process will stop." Simmons explained

"We need to come up with a third option. One that doesn't involve Mike's son losing a father." Coulson said to them

"We have a couple of hours, at most. There's no way that we could possibly –" Simmons begun
