[Watching Ben get the upper hand in his fight against May.]
I came to see the Destroyer fight, not some ancient... has-been.
[May glares at him.]

S1 E15Unfinished Business
FFlint
Well, how come I don't have my powers yet?
You have your power. It just hasn't revealed itself.
FFlint
How long did yours take?
Oh, it was a total disaster. I crusted over three weeks earlier, after eating fish soup and tacos.
FFlint
What are tacos?
What the hell kind of future is this?
Tacos are a food. Anyways, I had told myself this was just a dream. And then my cousin Francisco calls with bad news about his mom. I was upset, so I went to get a beer, and... whoosh! I'm back on my couch, beer in one hand. I realize I need a bottle opener, and whoosh again... I'm back on my couch, bottle opener in the other hand.
FFlint
What did you think was happening?
My heart was beating so fast, I thought someone had put cocaine in my beer.
Whoa. Dial it back, Escobar.
I got so worried, I told my cousin Francisco to come over. He spent countless hours talking me out of an exorcism.
How is Fitz even here?
I don't know! He just showed up out of nowhere with his own spaceship.
It's a baller move. Not to mention the whole bounty-hunter look he's rocking.
I still prefer him in cardigans.
Do you have any idea what he's planning?
Yeah, I'm not sure, actually. We haven't had a moment to speak, though it would seem he's here to purchase us.
What if it doesn't work?
I have a knife. [Shows Daisy a butter knife.]
We can do better.
Well, there was limited cutlery to choose from.
I'm never leaving you again.
[They kiss. Fitz ICEs Sinara.]
Then marry me, Fitz.
Absolutely.
Okay, come on.
Also, um, just to say, I did propose earlier, when Kasius had your hearing turned off.
[sarcastically] Oh, of course you did.
No, I... Seriously, I did.
I have a ship. We get there, then comes the plan. Hey, how's your head?
I'll tell you when the ringing stops. By the way, "fight to the death"? Really?
Yeah, well, I had to make a splashy entrance.
Yeah, well, you could have jumped in the octagon yourself, then.
Well, wouldn't be fair. I do push-ups now. Double digits.
You have no idea how good it is to see you. You're here... with a spaceship. Seems impossible.
Nothing is impossible anymore.
Full story later.
Yeah, there will be pints.
There will be gin.
Hello! That is the third Vrellnexian I have eliminated in pursuit of you! Not to toot my own horn, as you would say.
I would never say that. Who the hell are you?
My name is Enoch. Fitz sent me.
Fitz? How were you not eaten by those things?
They have no interest in me, as I have no tender insides for them to extract.
[angrily] I thought Fitz was done building robots.
I am not a robot. I am a sentient Chronicom from the constellation you know as Cygnus. I am here to aid you, you who will save humanity: Melinda May, Jemma Simmons, Phillip J. Coulson...
Well, it's convenient, you showing up right now.
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.
What? This story's supposed to make me feel better, that Coulson locked you up?
We were working out our differences, all right? I don't have time to get into this.
Can we discuss this after we're out of the line of fire?
Yes, thank you, this guy. Now please follow me. We go up the service shafts. It'll lead us right onto the trawler.
No, no, no, no. This is the guy that sold me to Kasius.
Oh. Kill him. He's a snake.
I'm gonna cut his throat open.
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.
Thank you.
Okay, if you guys really are gonna go fight a bunch of alien warriors, then you might be interested to know that, in the past, I hid a crate of S.H.I.E.L.D. tech in a wall on the base.
Oh, that's what I'm talking about. Thanks, Turbo.
Where?
Level three.
Oh, you got to be kidding me.
You mean the level infested with aliens that suck your blood?
Well, how was I... I feel like I'm not getting enough credit here. I have traveled through time and space to find you. I think we're moving past that bit a little bit too quickly.
Turbo, Turbo, Turbo, we wouldn't expect anything less. Thank you.
FFaulnok
Sinara, holding your own against the Destroyer of Worlds, felling my own best warrior. It seems I underestimated you and your desire to climb higher in the ranks, within which I now have an opening. My brother confines you to his dungeon, denying you the right to shine. On my side, you will shine more radiant than the stars we will conquer. A warrior such as yourself deserves a leader worthy of your talents. I will show you things Kasius could never... [Kasius bayonets him in the back.]
Sinara is not some object to be taken. The truth, brother? We both know father sent me on a suicide mission. Two of my generals were dead at my feet, yes, because Sinara killed them. They were preventing me from fleeing the battlefield. You see, Sinara said, and I agree, that the battlefield is not my place. I'm not built for it. With the bloodshed left to her, I can focus on greater things, and have. I wasted so much time on my knees, seeking your approval. No more.
FFaulnak
You play god over a dead rock. But you're just a coward who hides, then stabs his enemies in the back.
And in the front [bayonets Faulnak in the chest]. A life spent. A life earned. [to Sinara] Think how warmly father will greet us when we avenge my brother's death and bring him the Destroyer of Worlds. Everything we've ever wanted will soon come to bear.
[Coulson arrives at the Zephyr after crashing a trawler]
Love what they've done with the place.
Looks like, uh, you had a rough landing.
Yeah, can't recommend the airline. Inexperienced pilot, lot of turbulence, ran out of pretzels in coach.
RHRobin Hinton
Phillip J. Coulson. He can bring all the pieces together.
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.
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.
Must have been sad to lose him. I'm... sorry.
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...
Sucks when your parents get to say, "I told you so."
Yeah, he can say it. I just hope he says that he forgives me.
Yeah, well, from my experience, he probably wants the same thing.
RRobin
Too late to stop it! There's so much blood.
May, I've had it. I'm done. She can't control herself, she can't stop seeing how people die, keeps muttering about it...
Hold on!
She just described Jemma's death. Why don't you tell me how I'm supposed to live with that?
RRobin
I thought I already told you.
You know she can't help it. She sees death like her father, but she also sees a way out. That's why you designed the machine.
Oh, you don't get it. Nothing... we do... matters. Because we can't change time.
You don't know that!
Of course I do! Because we've tried! For all I know, we've tried a thousand times! Always ends the same. It's like a record that keeps on skipping, and we are repeating this loop again and again and again!
Fitz, take a breath!
And every time, Jemma dies. They all die. Robin can't change it. Voss couldn't change it. Even Daisy couldn't change it. She saw the aftermath, and she still destroyed the world.
To me, Robin was a little girl only days ago.
We're not meant to see a life like this... at its beginning and end. It's too much.
Maybe it makes us appreciate how short life really is.
So, what now?
We live on this crashed airplane until the Kree or... or the roaches or the gravity storms finish us off.
I think we can do better than that.
Yeah, but at least that way, I don't go back in time and quake the world apart.
We do go back. Robin told me how. We can save everyone. Just one question, though. Who's Flint?
Agent Coulson, we are evacuating to the caves for shelter, are we not?
Zephyr flies again, metal man.
I am mostly plastic alloy. And Chronicoms do not have gender.
