Quake. You see, I'm the one person that's pieced history together, who has an idea what happened. You want to know what kind of force can tear a planet apart? It was you. You think if you work hard enough if you inspire them, that you can put the pieces back together? You think you can save mankind? Give them back a world with justice and freedom and all that other pledge-of-allegiance garbage? I'm telling you to make peace with it. Surrender to it and make this your home, just the way it is. Because S.H.I.E.L.D. tried to save the world. And you want to see the consequences? Take a look. [shows Daisy on a screen the planet Earth which is blown apart] Do you see an Earth that can be saved? It's too late. It's already been quaked apart.
[To Fitz] Well, why don't I stay here and stare at the numbers for a little while? You can go visit Mrs. Fitz. You guys just got married. All the grown-ups are gone. I bet she's just dying for a little post-wedding yee-haw.
[To an attacking robot] Hey! Surrender now, and I promise not to make a Speak & Spell out of your spare parts. 'Cause that would probably be embarrassing for a robot.
Once that encoded transmission went out, everything changed. You understand that, don't you? We swore allegiance to each other. And today, that loyalty will be tested. If you waver you die.
You were right. It's a rare occasion that I am surprised, but count this among them.
Deke
I told you she'd find her way down here. And demonstrating her powers, no less. That right there is a weapon of mass destruction, tied up in one pretty, little package, all for you. We can talk about price later, but I expect that you'll be more than fair.
"Say, Deke. How you doing? You look really good. Can we have a word?" See? It's not that hard. I was coming to find you guys, anyway, 'cause I haven't seen you in a little while.
I was hoping Daisy was with you. Last we heard, she was looking for you.
Deke
Yeah. She found me. I was just with her a couple hours ago. And it's it's-it's all good. I-I helped her onto a lower medical floor. It's where we think your other friend is.
Yeah. That. And I told her that you'd wonder, and she said, "Get out of my way. This is what I do. My friend's life is on the line. I'll figure something out."
Convenient? No, it's mind-blowing I managed to escape my room after Coulson welded the door shut. I had to crack a window. A lot of my personal valuables are now floating around space, thanks very much, everybody.
I'm a pragmatist, all right? Just lis... just listen. I told you that I would lead you to your friend. There she is. And I stopped you from doing something drastic that would have gotten people killed in the process. [Notices a wounded Fitz.] Though you don't look great.
When you're a kid, you... you learn fast not to cross the Kreepers because they'll send you to the surface, and up there, you die. But, hey, turns out that everything's a lie and people can survive up here, and even that batty old lady made it.
The one who sees through time? Probably should've mentioned that.
Deke
Yeah, well, I thought she was crazy, all right? And as I mentioned, dead. Back in the Lighthouse, Virgil used to bring her tea every day and listen to her stories. That is, until Kasius sent her and my dad topside.
No, I was too bitter to be sad. As far as I was concerned, his loony theories got my mom killed. So he gets himself sent to the surface... good riddance. Then you guys actually show up...
Oh, damn it. Really? We had to leave the machine in the hands of some automaton? I knew the moment that I laid eyes on all of you that it was gonna spell my downfall. I'll go. I'll secure the machine and save the weird robot.
You're one guy against the Kree. You'll be massively outgunned.
Deke
I'm kind of trying to do the whole hero thing here, man. Is that your pep talk? You guys get killed, and who saves the world then? I told my parents not to believe in this roach-crap fairy tale, and they went and they died for it anyway. And I'm probably next in line. But there is no way in hell that I am gonna let some blue Kreeper destroy that machine before I get to see whether or not that damn thing was worth any of this.
No, when the other side of you is a friggin' hero who can't help herself but do good, then be great. The world needs that person to make it home. Just try not to destroy it when you get there.
