14. Helping

"What happened?" Coulson asked, immediately hurrying over to the two.

Wanda was on her knees, her hand on Daisy's, who was laying on the ground. She'd fallen unconscious.

"I don't know. She's alive, just, something must've happened with the Monolith to cause this." Wanda replied.

Coulson dropped down on the other side of her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Skye. Hey, Skye, are you okay?" He asked."Skye?"

Daisy twitched a little.

"It's Daisy." She mumbled.

"What?" Coulson asked.

"It's Daisy now, sir." Bobbi translated the mumble. "You're really having a hard time with this, huh?"

"Damn it. Yeah, Daisy. Hey, are you alright?" He corrected himself.

Daisy shifted slightly and she slowly pulled herself up.

"Yeah." She answered. "I'm better."

Wanda and Coulson helped her sit up, Bobbi backing up slightly so Daisy had space.

"That pulsing sound was killing me." Daisy mumbled.

"What pulsing sound?" Coulson asked.

"Are you serious?" Daisy asked back. "It was deafening."

Wanda glanced up, seeing Fitz trying to pull things back to rights, lifting up one of the wheels that had fallen down due to the shaking of the ground.

"Slow down, slow down." Mack helped him pull the wheel up.

"It holds the portal open. That flare went straight through." Fitz told him. "If we can send a hard wired probe through, we can see the other side. We can find her!"

"We'll fix the machine-" Mack nodded.

"We have to fix it."

"-Turbo but you've got to chill." Mack finished.

As Fitz walked away from Mack, Wanda heard Mack mutter, "How are we supposed to fix a machine when we don't know how it works?"

He locked eyes with Wanda as he asked and Wanda gave a slight shrug.

"We have to redesign some of the flaws to the original model." Fitz began speaking out loud.

He walked over to some of the fallen items. The room was basically trashed at this point, all of the machinery had fallen to the ground, some of it broken. Most of it was just really heavy and hard to lift.

"If we leave it the same, it'll just rattle apart again. We have to reinforce the connections." Fitz continued.

"Reinforce? Look, most of the workings are under the ground. We can't just tear the castle down." Mack replied. "And actually we're lucky the room is shaped this way, or the machine might have shaken apart on top of us."

He and Fitz bent down to lift up one of the pieces, but Fitz didn't move as Mack began to lift.

"Wait." Fitz stopped. "Wait, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the point."

Mack rolled his eyes and set his end of the piece back down.

"Quantum harmonic oscillation theory, like the professor said." Fitz said.

"I know that look." Bobbi spoke and Fitz pointed at Randolph.

"It's a strange shape for this time period because it's made to resonate, to- to create a, uh, a quantised field within the stone."
