When the cargohold ramp openend, the first one they saw was Jemma, looking like a robot. Immediately, everyone ran to her, and they embraced her.
"Fitz? Is he okay?" Skye asked. "Please tell me he's okay."
"He's alive," Simmons answered.
"What is this place?" May asked.
"First thing I found in this box was these coordinates," Coulson said. "Another secret base?"
"I call it 'The playground,' but all though technically, it doesn't have a name, because technically, it doesn't exist, it being... A secret base and all."
At the end of the ramp, there stood someone who exactly looked like Koenig.
"Eric?"
"Billy, Koenig, agent of SHIELD. All though, I totally can understand the confusion. Eric passed away, sadly. But, it's great to have company, finally, and I did not mind minding this place."
"Agent Coulson," introduced Coulson himself.
"I know! I know, and it's an honor to meet you, sir. I'll get you your lanyard, shortly. For the rest of you, lanyards will be handed out on case by case basis. We can't be too carefull, with all those Hydra people causing trouble, and that's why we're here. To keep you up and running. Back fighting the good fight, which is gonna be cool. I know we don't have much, but what we do have, is yours, sir."
"Thank you," Coulson said.
"So, where would you like to start?" Koenig asked. He took everyone inside, but Sanchez and Borguez staid at the cargohold-ramp.
"What's wrong?" Coulson asked.
"Director, are you coming?" Koenig yelled.
"You can go already, I'll catch up with you!" Coulson shouted back. The others left inside, while Coulson stood behind with Sanchez and Borguez.
"I'm affraid it is time for us to leave," Borguez said.
"We've been called up upstairs," Sanchez explained.
"Oh... I understand," Coulson said. "When the duty calls... Well, you know what I mean."
"We know a lot of work is coming upon you, Son of Coul," Borguez said. "But that we're not here-"
"Doesn't mean that we're not watching," Sanchez continued.
Coulson smiled. Borguez shook Coulson's hand, and vanished. Sanchez... She embraced him.
"I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too."
