They blinked and both did at the same time, after a bit of squirming. Then they blinked again when they were back together.

"Well that was interesting," Simmons said.

Avery grinned and touched the paper herself, pushing a bit of magic into it to burn out the sigil.

"And now you're all back to normal," she said. "And I didn't even need to pull an all-nighter for it."

FitzSimmons both blinked and looked at her.

"Magic. Huh. Neat. We haven't had a chance to study magic yet." They both looked at her kind of hopefully.

"And you still won't, because I have superheroes to get back to babysitting," Avery said. She paused for a moment, considering something. "However, I can probably make you a small, harmless sigil to play with before I go."

"Oh that would be great," Simmons said excitedly. "Thank you."

Avery couldn't help smiling back. Jemma's enthusiasm was definitely contagious.

"No problem," she replied. Sitting down again, she pulled out her pen and a pad of paper. A few minutes later, she tore off the sheet and handed it over. The sigil on it was much simpler than the one she used before, so she wasn't worried about giving it to them. "Here. Touching it makes the paper change colors. The colors are random."

"Excellent!" Jemma took the paper and showed it to Fitz, and the two immediately started Sciencing over it. Coulson just snorted into his coffee cup.

"No problem," Avery said. She grinned as they walked away, spouting Science at each other. "They're adorable," she commented to Coulson. "You must get all the best toys from them."

"Of course," Coulson said with a brief grin. "They come up with some very interesting things when they have spare time."

"I'm kind of jealous, I want new toys," Avery said, mock-pouting.

"Once Stark accepts you two, he will make you new toys," Coulson said. "He's more productive than a normal team. You should see some of the redesigns he's done for the rest of the team."

Avery snorted.

"I wouldn't know," she said. "He treats me like the Antichrist. I'm not allowed within four floors of the labs or the workshop."

"He just needs time." Coulson shrugged. "He'll get over himself." Even though she had several factors working against her in Stark's book, Coulson was quite confident Stark would get over it.

"I wouldn't put money on it yet," Avery retorted. She sighed. "Well, it's time to get back anyways, Kerry shouldn't have to babysit them by herself for too long."

Coulson nodded and sent the instructions up to Mae in the front. "We'll be there in a few hours," he said.

"Alright," Avery said. She pulled out her phone. "Then I'm going to let Kerry know what's going on, so she can warn the others and we won't risk being killed upon arrival." She flicked her finger across the screen as she spoke, dialing her partner's number.

"What's up?" Kerry asked, lounging in the kitchen with a mug of tea, just watching the others in the living room from her vantage point.

"You're not going to believe this," Avery said. "I'm having a hard time believing it, and I'm seeing it."

"You're just confusing me now," Kerry said. "Hold on a second." She put the phone down momentarily to call, "Barton, you don't want to sit on the back of the couch today." Then she picked the phone up again, ignoring Barton's reply. "Explain, woman."

"I need you to warn the others so that when we get back we don't get accidentally killed," Avery said. She paused for just a second. "Coulson's alive."

Kerry was silent for several long moments. "Well, shit," she said plainly. "Put me in the line of fire, why don't you?" She trailed off into grumbling for a few moments. "I'll make sure you two don't get blasted."

"Thanks," Avery said. "We're en route right now, should be there in a few hours. They gave him his own mobile command center, how unfair is that? And they gave him FitzSimmons."

"Well, damn. I mean, Coulson always gets the best, but damn." Kerry shook her head. "He gets his own mobile command and we're stuck babysitting ungrateful children."

"I know, right?" Avery said. "Seriously. FitzSimmons. That's so not fair."

"Not fair at all. Why does he get all the fun stuff and people?" Kerry grumbled.
