Peter was laying on water somewhere. The water was clear instead of black, and the sky was light blue and clear, which was odd since he couldn't see a sun or any light source. Peter looked to the side, the water was clear, but he still couldn't see anything besides his own reflection.

He shifted to try to get a better look at his surroundings, but stopped when a sharp pain ran across his torso. He pushed through the pain with a quiet gasp, and took a breather while he rested his head on his knees.

As he sits there, the memories of what occurred come back to him about the mission and him getting shot and the darkness surrounding him.

Peter then starts getting confused to where he is and quickly looks around when he can see someone else in the distance playing a piano.

"What's left to say? These prayers ain't working anymore. Every word shot down in flames. What's left to do with these broken pieces on the floor? I'm loosing my voice calling on you." The figure sings in a female voice and Peter walks towards her to see the last person he'd ever expect to see.

Gwen Stacy.

"'Cause I've been shaking. I've been bending backwards till I'm broke. Watching all these dreams go up in smoke." Gwen keeps singing as Peter runs to her while ignoring the pain in his chest before hitting an invisible wall. He then starts feeling on the wall trying to find a way through and there isn't anyway through.

"Gwen, what's happening?" Peter called out to her hoping she can hear him and she stops playing the piano.

"Can beauty come out of ashes?" Gwen sings and turns to face Peter. "It's been a while, Spidey." She states while smiling happily.

"Yeah, it has." Peter says with tears in his eyes. "Gwen, I'm so, so sorry for what happened." He starts off, not knowing what to say.

"Petey, I don't blame you for what happened." Gwen assures him while spinning around to face him.

"He was shot twice in the abdomen at close range almost two hours ago." Coulson's voice echoes throughout this place.

"What was that?" Peter asks Gwen while looking for the source of the voice, hoping she knows what he's talking about.

Gwen gets off of the piano chair and walks over to the invisible wall and leans against it with Peter on the other side. "Those are the echoes of the outside world. It's what happens when you die. You can still hear through your own body about what people are saying around you. Of course, after a while, you can't hear anything after your put six feet under." She explains to him.

"He's tachycardic, hypotensive, and lost a significant amount of blood." Simmons voice being next to echo through the place.

"What exactly is this place?" Peter asks Gwen.

"I like to call it a World Between Worlds. It's where you go before you die, but you're unconscious except not conscious enough to be considered alive. I spent a short time in your place, while I heard you begging for me to hold on. And I did, trust me I tried. But that place only lets you hold on for so long. It just matters of if you're alive and your will to keep living." Gwen tries her best to explain.

"We had to lower his core body temperature in order to transport him here." Simmons continues.

"It's probably what kept him alive this long. We'll do everything we can to save him." An unfamiliar voice says and now Peter hears dozens of voices and his body is being poked and the pain starts increasing.

-

In reality, the team just brought Peter into a S.H.I.E.L.D. medical facility to get him treated on and they just took him away.

"Oh, dear. I'm a mess." Simmons says as they watch Peter get pulled into the operating theater.

"No, you were great." Coulson comforts her.

"Incubate, and lets start getting that shirt off." One of the operators say and they start getting to work on removing the bullets while cleaning the blood off of his body.

-

In the waiting room, everyone is waiting to hear about his condition while Coulson is on the phone trying to get into touch with Fury to possibly get information on how he saved him and maybe they could use that to save Peter as a last resort. Besides, no matter how much he tries to deny it, Fury cares about Peter and would want to be here.

While he did that, May was able to get into contact with Barton and Romanoff and they came rushing over to check on Peter themselves, which meant that they were also informed Coulson was alive.

"That's unacceptable." Coulson tells the man on the other end of the phone. "I need to speak to director Fury immediately, please." He pleads to them.

"I should've stopped him." Ava states when she had the chance to.

"Ava, there is nothing you could've done to stop Peter." Natasha tells her while placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"I shouldn't have left him alone." Skye states feeling like that it should've been her to get shot.

"It's nobody's fault. Peter must've forgotten he wasn't invincible or forgot he wasn't wearing his bulletproof uniform." Clint replies from the arm of the couch.

"The one to blame is the man who shot him, Ian Quinn." May states to them. "He's responsible."

"Yes, the message is, I have a dying Agent S, and there are questions only he has answers to." Coulson says to the person from the other end of the phone before hanging up seeing he's getting no help from them and starts pacing.

They have been waiting for longer than comforting for them when a nurse finally walks out to them with the news.

"How is he?" Coulson being the first to ask.

"Not good." She admits to them. "The shots perforated his stomach and penetrated his lungs. We resected what we could, but...there's been too much damage."

"He's supposed to have a healing factor." Clint informs her.

"What you call healing factor is actually his heart sending blood throughout his body faster than the normal person, to heal most of his wounds at an abnormal rate. And it seems that the bullets were laced with some form of poison, and that's what's also killing him." The nurse explains.

"They were expecting him specifically." Natasha recalls what she's saying.

"So what's next?" Coulson asks, hoping for a way to save him.

"We can keep him comfortable, but you'll need to make a decision on whether or not you want to keep him on life support." She says since everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. knows Coulson is the go-to person when it has to do with Agent S.

"You're saying there's nothing that can be done?" Ava asks with tears in her eyes.

"I'm saying you need to call his family and get them here as soon as possible." She explains to Coulson who can't believe what he's hearing.

"We're his family." Natasha states since everyone in this room has a special connection to Peter in some way. And Ward's here, too.

"In that case, I'm very sorry." The nurse apologizes for their loss and May leaves the room.

-

Peter is still leaning against the invisible barrier between him and Gwen as she is still with him as the pain has finally stoped and the voices have become more distant.

"So, this is what it feels like to die?" Peter asks Gwen.

"Everyone has a different experience. Yours I have to say is one of the most peaceful ones." Gwen says looking up at the stars that have started appearing. "You always were a stargazer." She jokes.

Peter chuckles at her attempts of humor seeing there isn't much to do in this place. "Yeah, it's a pretty magical place." Peter states. "How long will I be here for?" He wonders.

"Depending on if your body is ready to let you go, or if they're ready to let you go." Gwen tells him and knows that Coulson would never do that.

"Why do you look older than the last time I saw you?" Peter wonders since it's been two years since her death and it seems like she's grown.

"Time doesn't stop when you die. When you die old, your clock goes backwards until you reach a certain age and it suddenly stop. Same goes for when you die young. It's like a whole different reality here." Gwen explains.

-

Quinn was still in the Bus interrogation room when the door opens and May steps inside with anger burning through her eyes.

"Finally, I was starting to think I was forgotten about." Quinn states before May slams his head into the table and pulls his chair from underneath him.

"Wait! You can't!" Quinn protests her actions while scurrying away.

May just grabs him by the shirt and pulls him close to her face.

"Why? Because you're defenseless, like he was?" She questions before starting to tear him a new one for what he did to Peter.

Coulson and Clint open the door and see what she's doing.

"May!" Coulson calls out and she stops pounding his face in. "Outside, now." He tells her and she leaves with Clint watching over Quinn wishing it was him who beaten him.

Peter's almost like a third child to him and Laura over the years, and would do anything to save him.

(A:AOU didn't happen yet, so baby Nathaniel isn't born yet)

"He deserves to die, not Peter." May states to Coulson.

"Agreed. But right now, Quinn doesn't matter. Only Peter's life matters, and I need you to pilot the plane." Coulson tells her.

"You heard what the doctor said." May reminds him.

"She said there was nothing more they could do for him, but there are doctors who brought me back from the dead. If they can do that, I bet they can give Peter's powers an energy boost to save him." Coulson explains and now May understands the plan.

-

They have Peter moved to the Bus in a emergency container still hooked up to everything to keep him alive and Coulson looks as him, knowing his life is in his hands more than ever now.

"H.Q. radioed in." Ward walks up to him. "They've ordered us to hand over Quinn for interrogation and transport to the Fridge. Do you want me to arrange the transfer?" He asks.

"No. Quinn stays in our custody until I say otherwise." Coulson tells him.

Ward looks at how focused he is and looks over at Peter. "Are you sure about this, taking him all the way to Bethesda?" He asks Coulson.

"It's where my file says I was treated after New York. Barton and Romanoff know nothing about it." Coulson explains since the two made it perfectly clear they weren't going anywhere without knowing Peter was going to be okay.

"I understand, but what makes you think the doctors there will be able to do anything different?" Ward asks. "I know they saved you-"

"They did a lot more than save me." Coulson admits and knows it's time they all knew the truth. "It's time that everyone knows the truth."

-

Coulson fills everyone in on the Tahiti project he received.

"What you're describing, it's medically impossible." Simmons states to him.

"Except for the fact that I'm standing here proof that it's not impossible." Coulson informs them and drops the Tahiti file in front of them. "My file, describing how they brought me back. The doctors, the procedures, the drugs. I'm ordering you to read it." He states since it's a Level 10 clearance.

Fitz and Simmons open it to the front page.

"Death and recovery report?" Skye asks reading it.

"It's only recently that Director Fury gave me access to this. I've gone over it over it dozens of times. I need you to decipher the medical parts of it I don't understand. Feel free to reach out to dr. Streiten. He should be eager to answer any questions you may have." Coulson tells them.

"Yes, I'm sure I'll have quite a few." Simmons states looking further into the file.

"What about Tahiti?" Fitz asks.

"Turns out, not so magical, just false stories implanted to cover up what was done." Coulson informs them.

"It says here your heart was perforated, torn in half." Ava states looking at the file.

"That part of it I understood." Coulson explains. "And yet, they managed to heal the damaged tissue completely."

"And if they could do that, they could do the same to save Peter." Clint guesses.

"We'll get right on it, sir." Simmons promises and Ward sees on the computers, as Natasha is by Peter's side holding his hand.

-

Back with Peter, he can hear Natasha humming the lullaby she hasn't sung to him since he was little and was always afraid of everything.

"I don't know how much longer I can hold on." Peter admits while holding his hand feeling the warmth from his aunt.

"You just gotta keep holding on." Gwen tries comforting him. "You have to keep moving. You have the ability to make a difference in the world better than anyone I've ever known, and you just have to keep going. You've been protecting everyone from harm, and now you just have to focus on yourself."

"That's never been my strong suit." Peter replies when his senses go off, which doesn't make sense until he realizes it's from something going on in the outside world.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. 616, this is Tower Michael Tango. You are in violation of S.H.I.E.L.D. Directive 1297. Response immediately."

"Disobeying a direct order?" Peter asks, confused to what they disobeyed.

-

In reality, May and Ward are in the cockpit and just received the transmission.

"We didn't hand Quinn over for interrogation." Ward states why they're here.

"That's just great." May states and responds when she sees two jets on their shoulders. "This is S.H.I.E.L.D. 616, how do we proceed?"

"Prepare to be boarded and relinquish command." They respond and see this isn't going to go well.

"Really? All the war and chaos in the world, and S.H.I.E.L.D. sends a plane after us?" Coulson asks as he and Clint goes to greet the boarding party.

"Three planes." Clint corrects him. "A small transport to dock and a pair of F-35s on our tails to make sure we hand over Quinn."

They feel the plane docking on the top of the plane and the Bus shakes. "If they scratch my paint, I'm gonna be pissed." Coulson warns him.

"I'll await its orders here, sir." Ward says as Coulson goes up to see Agent Garret.

"Garret? What the hell are you doing here?" Coulson asks seeing him.

"Well, as opposed to the Level 8 jackass I'm staring at, I still follow orders." Garret informs Coulson.

"You're the worst of following orders." Coulson reminds him.

"Maybe, but I like this one. You are to immediately turn Ian Quinn over for transport to the Fridge." Garret states when a second agent from the plane joins them. "Agent Antoine Triplett, Agent Phillip Coulson." He introduces them.

"You wouldn't know from the look of it, but Phil is one of our finest." Garret tells Antoine.

"It's an honor, sir." Antoine says to Coulson.

"Trip joined me as my specialty after Ward came to your circus." Garret explains. "Go secure the prisoner." He asks Trip and he leaves and Coulson brings Garret to his office.

"Phil, come on. Just because Fury gave you this pretty plane doesn't mean they won't shoot it out of the sky." Garret informs Coulson.

"Why are you really here, Garret?" Coulson asks. "S.H.I.E.L.D. could have sent any security team to collect Quinn. Why you?"

"We've been chasing him since Malta. Then yesterday, your little Italian job cost my team weeks of work." Garret explains to Coulson.

"You can't have him, not yet." Coulson tells Garret. "Quinn shot Agent S. He's on a life support in a med pod downstairs with Agent Romanoff by his side. We are taking him to the trauma center in Bethesda." He informs Garret.

"Quinn actually pulled the trigger on S?" Garret questions. "Peter is on life support?"

"Peter infiltrated his compound in Malta. When Quinn saw him yesterday, seemed he took it personally." Coulson explains.

"I never took him for a triggernan. He usually pays others to do that." Garret says to that information. "I've lost three of my own chasing him. "

"Then you understand why I can't give him to you until we save my kid." Coulson states, his wording being a slip of the tongue, but he meant it.

"Because if Peter doesn't make it...neither does he." Garret says and understands now.

-

Back in the labs, Fitz-Simmons are working on trying to decipher the file.

"I've never even heard of half of these drugs. GH-325?" Simmons questions. "And what about this robotic assisted neural micro surgery they used to implant the Tahiti memories?"

"Well, we can't argue with the results. He's walking around." Fitz states and they look at the footage of Peter and remember what's at steak.

"Yeah, but at what cost? You read the transcripts. He begged the doctors to let him die." Simmons replies.

"This is different. Peter's still alive. We had to keep him that way, right?" Skye reminds them as Simmons' phone rings.

"Oh, I've asked dr. Streiten to advise us." Simmons says and answers the phone to receive bad news. "Are you sure? That can't be." She states as it seems the doctor has fallen off the grid.

-

In the interrogation room, Quinn is resting after the beaten received from May when the door opens and Coulson lets Garret in to question him when he notices how bruised up he is.

"And here I thought I was gonna get to play bad cop." Garret jokes to Coulson.

"Ian Quinn, this is Agent Garret. He's here to ask you a few questions." Coulson explains to him.

"No, thank you. I...my head'a still ringing from the last visitor." Quinn states.

"At least the last visitor left you with a head. I'm not always that considerate." Garret warns him. "I'm interested in one of your newer projects."

"Oh, but there's so many to choose from." Quinn jokes when Garret grabs his tongue to shut him up.

"Let me be clear. You have no rights. You have no lawyer. And the only thing keeping Agent Coulson here from throwing you out of the plane is the very weak heartbeat of the young agent downstairs, and the only incentive I have for not tearing out your tongue is that you use it to answer my questions. Is that clear?" Garret asks and gets a muffled response from Quinn.

"Did you understand that?" Garret asks Coulson.

"No." Coulson replies loving the torment Quinn is getting when Garret lets him go.

"Tell us about Cybertek and the Deathlok program." Garret asks Quinn.

"Deathlok?" Coulson asks.

"Catchy, right? Sounds like some wrestler from the '80s." Garret states.

"Those are some dangerous waters, and the last agent that waded into them wounded up with two in the stomach." Quinn replies and Coulson is getting ready to beat him senseless speaking about Peter that way when Garret stops him and slaps Quinn for Coulson.

"So...he's still alive?" Quinn asks.

"Yeah. And you better hope he stays that way. Or you're going to have two angry Avengers on you next." Garret states referring to Clint and Natasha, who are most likely hearing in on this.

"Is that why you shot Peter? Because he saw what Cybertek delivered?" Coulson asks Quinn.

"No. I shot Peter because that's what the Clairvoyant wanted me to do it." Quinn tells them, which means they were in fact waiting for Peter. Coulson lead them into a trap. He wanted to keep Peter safe, but ended up being played.

"What I find surprising is how a big shot billionaire could fall for this psychic jumbo jumbo." Garret wonders.

"Oh, I doubted it at the beginning, but then I realized it would be mutually beneficial." Quinn states.

"He must have something pretty terrible on you." Coulson replies to him. "Shooting a child?"

"Let's just say I learned the hard way that obeying was in my best interest." Quinn informs Coulson.

"Yet...here you are." Garret intervenes.

"Let me assure you it wasn't luck that lead me to your partner's black sedan in Berlin or that he'd open the door for a redhead or those two agents in Morocco." Quinn tells Garret. "Do you think it was luck that my people found them in that raid?" He asks talking about the people Garret's team that died. "No, it was the Clairvoyant."

"Your Clairvoyant say anything about me knocking your teeth in?" Garret questions Quinn.

"The Clairvoyant sees everything...except what happened to him." Quinn says looking at Coulson.

"This is still about me." Coulson reaplzies.

"Hold up, you're gonna need to rewind the tape, Phil." Garret states since he seems to have missed something.

"You heard about my near death before the battle of New York?" Coulson asks Garret. "Turns out there's more to it than that. I thought I was gone for seconds, turns out it was days."

"That's impossible." Garret replies to that information.

"Which is why the Clairvoyant will do anything to know how it happened." Quinn interjects to them.

"Even order you to risk shooting S.H.I.E.L.D.'s best Agent." Coulson states.

"No, they ordered me to shoot your nephew." Quinn corrects him since they didn't care he was the best agent. Coulson loves Peter like his own son, put him in danger and Coulson will tear the world apart to save him.

"Wait. You don't know what they did to save you." Garret now realizes.

"That's why we're flying to where I was treated." Coulson says.

"So shooting the kid forces you to figure it all out." Garret puts together.

"So the Clairvoyant can finally see." Quinn keeps interrupting.

"Or you let the kid die." Garret finishes.

May goes down to the labs with Natasha close behind after they were called in.

"You wanted to see us?" May asks.

"I just got off the phone with the trauma center in Bethesda. Dr. Streiten's gone off the grid." Simmons explains.

"So we'll find a different doctor who operated on Coulson." Natasha tells them.

"That's the thing. It seems he was never treated there." Fitz says.

"Okay, now I'm getting confused." Clint states to them.

"All of this is confusing. The doctors listed, the iterating room number. None of them exist." Simmons says to them. "None of them are a part of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"This is why I hate your endless secrets, Fury." Natasha mumbles to herself.

-

Coulson leaves the room and is met with May about what Fitz-Simmons learned.

"Quinn shot Peter for nothing." She informs him. "The place we were going, the doctors who treated you, they don't exist."

"Or maybe they existed somewhere else." Coulson corrects her. "This is S.H.I.E.L.D., there are always secrets."

"That's my fear, sir." Simmons says. "Your file is filled with secrets. Experimental drugs, unknown surgical procedures we've never heard of. Frankly, Fitz and I only understand about 70% of what's in here."

"Even if we do find where they treated you and we were able to replicate the procedure, there's the other obvious question." May says and this is why she has to make sure Clint, Natasha and Ava weren't in here for this part.

"Which is?" Coulson asks, not liking where this is going.

"Whether we should." Simmons explains. "What you experienced, sir, if this file is even partially accurate.."

"I'm not saying we put Peter through everything that I went through, but if there's something in here. A drug, a treatment that can even give his powers a boost to fight the poison, we need to find it. I refuse to let Peter die. So figure it out." Coulson tells them and they leave May and Coulson alone.

"I think we need to do everything in our power to save Peter, but in doing so, we might give the Clairvoyant exactly what he wants." May tells him.

"It's a risk we have to take." Coulson states, not willing to lose Peter. He made a promise to keep him safe, he was going to keep that promise till the end. And today wasn't the end.

-

Ava is still with Peter, not planing on leaving his side anytime soon.

"How is he?" Ava asks as Simmons approaches them.

"Deteriorating, and Simmons doesn't know how to stop it." Simmons says when Skye comes in.

"Hey, guys, I think we know how we can track down where to go." She tells them.

-

They return to the labs and set up the holographic room so they don't need to crowd around the holotable.

"A buddy of mine works in the archives at the Triskellion." Fitz says. "And he agreed to let us access it from here, he owed S one." He explains as a small holo-container appears. "Hard to believe, but this cube contains all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s historical administrative data."

"Yeah, but if Agent Coulson wasn't treated at a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, it won't be in here." Simmons says.

"Yes, but it also contains travel arrangements, purchase orders." Skye explains what the plan is. "Maybe we can track down the location using a paper trail." She states and they open it to get hundreds of files to appear.

"Okay. Let's start with the travel memoranda from the day Coulson got stabbed." Simmons says and moves the file to that date.

"What about dr. Streiten's departure from the Triskellion?" Fitz says and starts looking for it and starts searching everywhere when Fitz comes across something interesting.

"A world war ll bunker?" Simmons asks seeing the file.

"Collapsed bunker." Fitz corrects her. "Definitely not a sanctioned S.H.I.E.L.D. facility."

"The Guest House?" Simmons asks seeing what the place is called.

"Exactly. Guest House. G.H. GH-325." Fitz reminds her of the serum they used to heal Coulson's wounds, "and look at the access history."

"The only record is from a...Level 10 operative." Skye reads and looks to them.

"Director Fury." Fitz-Simmons say.

"So Fury's been to this place and he was the person who sanctioned the operations on Agent Coulson." Simmons says and tosses the hologram away. "And why aren't you trying to find the file?" She asks as Fitz starts looking and finds it.

But as soon as it's opened, they find its encrypted. "Encrypted. Skye, can you crack this?" Simmons asks when Skye looks over it and pushes the data out and sees that the numbers are spaced out and they see it's not an encryption, it's a location.

-

They found the location in the mountains and May lands the Bus and they all get ready to head out to the Guest House.

"The Guest House is not a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility. We don't know who or what's in there." Coulson warns them as he walks past Clint who's getting all his arrows in his quiver. "Be prepared for potential resistance."

"No contact from inside?" Garret asks.

"I've tried every known channel, no response." May tells them.

"Place could just be abandoned." Clint says as he grabs his bow.

"Hope not. We need the people here to work on Peter." Coulson replies to that theory.

"Simmons is preparing Peter to move at a moment's notice." Fitz tells Coulson.

"Trip can help. He's had med-tech training." Garret says.

"And Skye is here is they need anything." Ava says since Skye's staying on the Bus.

"We do our jobs right, this will all go peacefully." Natasha says as she powers up here widow bites.

"What if they don't want to help?" Ward asks.

"I'll say pretty please." Garret says raising a machine gun.

"We need the doctors alive and the place intact. If it does go sideways, Fitz, I need you down there to determine what Simmons can use to help Peter." Coulson tells him. "And then we take it."

They all start moving out to the facility to find out what exactly is going on and find a intercom.

"How was the drive from Istanbul?" Someone from the inside asks them.

"Countersign?" Coulson asks anyone.

"No clue." Garret admits.

"Never heard it before." Clint replies.

"Not one Peter's taught me." Ava replies.

"Not familiar with it." Natasha says.

"I can't find it in any of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s protocol directives." Fitz says looking at his tablet.

"This is Agent Coulson with S.H.I.E.L.D. We don't know the counter, but we have a team member in dire need of medical assistance." Coulson tells them. "We know he can be treated here. Open the doors. Maybe we can work something out, do you copy?"

"How was the drive from Istanbul?" They asked again.

"We're looking for medical assistance. A person's life is at stake. Will you help us?" Coulson asks.

"How was the drive from Istanbul?" They repeat oncemore.

"Pretty please It is." Garret says and shoots the camera.

Fitz unlocks the doors from the outside and gets them inside. They walk through the halls and find its bigger than it looks from the outside.

They were all able to fit in an elevator and see an anti chamber and glass doors.

"Can't see much beyond that. Lights are all out." Fitz tells them.

"Ava, sniffing anything suspicious?" Clint asks her.

"I smell maybe two or three guys. One needs deodorant." Ava states. Her powers are a blessing and a curse.

"Well, they know we're coming. Let's go say hello." Coulson says and they drop in one at a time and Fitz tries contacting everyone from above and the comms are all down.

Fitz moves up to the bulletproof glass and does what he can in order to break it.

"Once inside, everyone needs to find cover." Natasha tells them.

"All right, we're going in." Clint says and Fitz gets the doors to open and as soon as they get in they duck for cover as a dozen bullets come flying at them and they duck for cover.

"We've come for medical assistance. But if you continue to fire, we will defend ourselves." Coulson tries to reason with them as they keep firing at them.

"Okay, my turn." Clint says as he stands up fast and aims the one closest to him and fires a arrow into the man's shoulder, taking him down. Natasha raises and shoots the other one, taking them both down.

"I forgot how fun these assignments are." Natasha says as they all start standing back up.

"Fitz, see if you can get some light for us." Coulson asks as Garret steals the keycard off of him.

Coulson looks to see the one Natasha shot is still alive. "We're gonna help you. Where are the doctors?" He asks.

"The doctors don't stay here." The guard informs Coulson.

"We're looking for a drug, GH-325." Clint asks him.

"Do I know you?" He asks Coulson.

"I don't know, I might've spent some time here a while back." Coulson admits.

"Then you know about...the timer." He says and Coulson sees he's died.

"Guys, we have a problem." Garret says and they turn to him. "Semtex. The whole place is rigged to blow." He warns them.

"There's enough explosives to bring the whole mountain down." Natasha confirms and Fitz finds the timer and they've got less than ten minutes to leave.

"A failsafe, I guess." Ava says. "If the guards had eliminated us, they'd stop the timer."

"Since they didn't, it means we're stuck." Coulson says as the doors are also closed.

"We can deal with the doors, you guys find the drug for Peter." Clint says as he and Nat get to work on the doors.

"You're the one who taught Ward to disarm nuclear bombs." Coulson reminds Garret. "Find out a way to stop the timer. Fitz, Ava, let's go find that drug."

"If nobody's here, what do we hope to find?" Ava asks as they roam the halls.

-

On the Bus, Trip and Simmons are watching Peter to make sure he's okay whole Skye is trying to get back into contact with the team.

"So, this is Agent S. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s greatest agent. You guys go back a ways?" Trip asks Simmons.

"Several years. Got to know him when he was young, he was so young and so eager to learn more and more about science. He never wanted it to end." Simmons tells him smiling at the memories of a younger Peter.

"And now you can't imagine your life without him?" Trip asks.

"I was there for so many things for him. His first assignment, his first power test. Even when he was creating his first suit." Simmons says.

"He's lucky to have you." Trip says when May approaches them.

"Skye says the comms are still down. If I don't hear anything within the hour, I'm going to check on them." May warns them and Peter starts coding.

Simmons runs and calls them to help her.

"How can we help?" May asks.

"I need a unit of EPI." Simmons says and Trip already got it.

-

Peter feels his head and heart racing and feels something sticking into his leg and screams in pain.

"Yeah, it's worse for organ donors." Gwen says seeing him in pain. "It goes away after a while, but in the halfway point, it's the worst."

"I don't think I can handle this pain anymore." Peter warns her as he starts breaking down in fear of dying and of the pain.

"Can you use these tears to put out the fires in my soul? 'Cause I need you here, woah. 'Cause I've been shaking. I've been bending backwards till I'm broke. Watching all these dreams go up in smoke." Gwen starts singing to help him through the pain.

Back in the facility, Coulson ran into the room that he remembers from his memories where the Tahiti memories were planted but knows there's more at stake than just what he knows.

"Timer doesn't control the explosion. It's just a clock." Ward warns the Avengers.

"Detonator isn't in here, or I'd have found it." Garret states. "There's not enough time to search the whole place."

"Well, this Semtex is gonna be useful to at least burst these doors." Clint says as Natasha is placing the Semtex on the doors as they speak.

Ava, Coulson and Fitz are working their way through the facility looking for anything when Coulson comes up to a door with the words Biohazard Containment and thinks it's a good place to look.

They open the door and see the canisters of drugs then start looking.

"What are we looking for exactly?" Ava asks.

"Something that says GH-325 on it." Fitz explains and they look until Coulson finds what they're looking for in a separate container.

Ward comes running in and finds them. "Time to go, we couldn't stop the timer. Four minutes and counting." He warns them as Coulson is unlocking the container and Fitz is digging until he finds GH-325 and they can leave now.

"Get that up to Simmons." Coulson tells them.

"Ava, be careful. And run with this." Fitz asks since she's the fastest amongst them.

"Got it." Ava says and runs off, ready to save Peter.

Coulson looks down and sees something. "Go, I'll be right behind you." He tells them and they run out.

Coulson walks up to a separate door labeled T.A.H.I.T.I. and opens the door.

What he finds inside, it's the source of the GH-325...and it's an alien. It has no legs and is inside of a container, but undoubtedly an alien with its blue skin, it almost looks identical to what Fury used to tell him about with that Danvers girl they met back in the '90s.

Clint places the Semtex on the door and has everyone dock for cover before he pulls an explosive arrow out and shoots the doors, causing them to explode.

"Ava, get going. Get that drug to them." Natasha asks as Ava races up the stairway to save him.

"Where's Coulson?" Clint asks.

"Phil!" Garret calls out for him. "Go with her, make sure that drug gets to the kid. I'll get him." He promises and they run up the stairway themselves.

Coulson is walking back in shock to what he's found out when Garret finds him.

"Phil! Phil, what the hell? Clock's not slowing down." Garret warns him. "This place is about to get seriously warm in here. You with me?" He asks seeing he's spaced out. "The guys are out already. They took the drug up to Peter."

"No, don't give it to him." Coulson tells him. "The drug, they can't give it to him!"

"All right, you can tell them yourself. Right now, we just need to get out of this mountain and off the ground." Garret says and pushing him to the doors.

-

Simmons and Trip are still working on keeping Peter down while waiting for them to return.

"Weak, erratic heart rate." Simmons says, referring to Peter's condition. "Each time we save him, I ask myself, is this what Peter would've wanted?"

"We didn't come this far to quit." May states when they start hearing something fuzzy coming from their comms and Peter starts going into another coding and flatlining.

"You want more epinephrine?" Trip asks when Ava comes rushing in with the drug.

"We found it." Ava says out of breath, never running that fast in her life.

"What is it?" Simmons asks. "And how much, injected where?" She asks.

"May, get us off the ground, before it falls out from under us." Ward warns her.

-

Inside the facility, Garret and Coulson run up the stairs and make it out as they see May is starting to take off and the entire mountain starts exploding. Garret and Coulson make it aboard as soon as the collapses and he runs to the med pod.

"No! Don't give it to him!" Coulson shouts but comes to see he was too late and sees Simmons already gave it to him.

"I was loosing him anyway, what harm can it do?" Simmons asks.

-

Peter starts feeling warmth in his body once more and realizes whatever they've done, it's bringing him back.

"Looks like our reunion is over, Spidey." Gwen tells him seeing he's getting brought back to life.

"I don't want to go back." Peter tells her, feeling like he's loosing her over again.

"You're needed there, Peter." Gwen says and stands up as he does the same. Gwen places her hand on the wall and so does Peter. "Somethings going to happen, and the world needs you. Not just our world." She says to him.

"What do you mean?" Peter asks.

"Time works differently here, remember? I saw something going to happen. You are needed to save the other people like you across the multiverse." Gwen explains.

"Multiverse? It's real?" He asks her.

"Not only is it real, but other people that are a lot like you. There's a Guardian, and a Survivor you'll be fighting alongside." Gwen informs him. "See you around, Spider-Man." She gives him a small spoiler about his future but he doesn't understand.

"Spider-Man?" Peter asks when it's almost like he's getting dragged into the water, as Gwen watches as he vanishes back to the land of the living.

"The Spectacular Spider-Man." Gwen tells him, knowing he can't hear her now.

-

The team's now watching the monitors hoping the drug is doing something when Peter takes a quick gasp of air.

"He's spiking!" May warns them seeing the monitors go crazy and everyone calls out for Peter when he starts stabilizing just as fast.

"Could someone tell me what the hell just happened?" Clint asks, being completely confused.

Natasha just smiles at Peter and holds his hand. "He's a fighter." She states.

"What was that stuff you gave him?" Trip asks and she doesn't know, but is happy to say that it worked.

"You did it." May tells Coulson who is happy that Peter will be okay, but at what cost?

-

Garret, Trip and Clint then go back to Ian Quinn who's been inside the interrogation room the whole time.

"I have good news and bad news." Garret informs Quinn. "Which would you like to hear first?" He asks but Quinn doesn't care.

"Bad news it is." Clint comments.

"Okay, but there's a fair amount of it." Garret warns Quinn. "Your Clairvoyant, the one who said he'd have your back, he's a no show. The site we were supposed to lead him to with our minds, it's destroyed. Buried under 100 feet of rock."

"Seems the only psychic power your friend has shown is the ability to predict if you tell a rich, entitled dirtbag he's gonna get away with murder, he'll believe it." Clint adds on.

"Trip, bag him." Garret tells him and Trip puts handcuffs on the man.

"The kid's gonna live. And able to testify how a billionaire shot him point blank in the stomach." Garret states and points to the security camera in the room. "Oh, we got a great little home movie admitting to that, genius." He mocks.

"This Clairvoyant played you and left you to rot." Trip adds.

"You said there was good news." Quinn asks them.

"I did?" Garret asks Clint.

"You did." Clint responds.

"Oh, that's right. You still have your tongue." Garret informs Quinn and Trip leads him out to their plane to be brought to the Fridge.

With Natasha and Clint as his export so he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

But when Natasha returned to Washington, she was called onto an assignment with Steve Rodgers, Captain America.

A S.H.I.E.L.D. ship has been hijacked in the Atlantic Ocean.
