Fill 8 Card 1: Courage is like a muscle...

[innitmarvelous_og]

Almost from the moment they met, Fitz and Simmons were always a dynamic duo, whether they were working on new tech or fighting off the latest Hydra threat. Each and every ordeal or trial they had came through since joining Coulson's team made them all the more stronger when it was over.

Then one day, during an assignment that was supposed to be simple, they found themselves in a dire situation. They were trapped in a Hydra base, surrounded by enemies, and they had no way out. Fitz came to quickly realize the gravity of the situation, and he was beginning to doubt their chance of surviving this.

When Simmons could see the worry as well as the fear he was trying to hide etched on Fitz's face, she knew she had to do something to boost his spirits. "Fitz," she said, and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Remember what May is always telling us. Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it by use."

Fitz gave her a skeptical look. "That's easy for May to say. She's bloody trained agent after all. Me... you... the two of us are just bloody scientists!"

Simmons shook her head. "That's not true, Fitz. We've been through this before. We're always facing impossible odds, and in the past we've come out on top. This is no different! We can do it again."

When Fitz gave her a look, and he could see the determination in Jemma's eyes. He knew she was right. They had to and they would find a way out of this, no matter what it took.

So they put their two heads together to come up with a distraction. The move would be risky of course, but no more so than remaining in a base full of SHIELD hating HYDRA agents!

As they put their plan into action, Fitz felt his confidence and courage growing. With every moment that went by and they were not captured, he no longer doubted their chances of survival. He kept his focus sharp on the task at hand, and he was determined to see it through.

Their plan worked, and thankfully a few hours later they walked back into their own base where they knew they were safe. As they entered the base and made their way to Coulson's office, Fitz told Simmons, "You're right, Jemma. Courage truly is like a muscle. We need to be sure to use it more in the future."

"Yes, we do because every time we use it, it'll only grow all the more stronger!" Simmons concluded with a smile.

Thank you! :-)

I like it too because I can just hear Fitz at the start of this, and how much stronger his lovely Scottish accent got the more upset he was! And he was a wee bit upset here LOL!
