[When the feed clicked on, Fitz was still in the midst of a panic attack, the young scientist barely able to focus on the device as he fiddled with the settings some, hands trembling.]

Director Coulson? Agent May? Anyone? Please tell me I'm not the only one here.

[Because that's the last thing he needed right now. He didn't want to believe his was happening right now. It just wasn't plausible.

Trying to pull himself together, Fitz set the device down for a moment, scrubbing at his face and letting out a breath. It took a moment for him to get himself together, his hands still trembling but it wasn't near as bad.

Breath in. Breath out.

He could do this.

A little more composed, he picked his device up once more, trying to put on a neutral expression.]

This is Agent Leo Fitz of SHIELD. Can anyone hear me? I'm not sure where I am but if someone...if someone could please contact me....please?

[ Director? Is he seeing signs of his future here? He already knows that Simmons is further ahead than he is. ]

It's not just you and me. Simmons is here, too, along with a lot of other familiar faces. Some of us have been stuck here a while, but we'll find a way home.

Yes I--Simmons contacted me. As did Agent Barton and Agent Romanoff. And Ms. Potts and Dr. Foster.

[People from home were most of his focus right now, even though Sam had been extremely kind to him.

He shifts, looking like he wants to move closer to the other, a need for some sort of anchor right now very much a thing but he can't bring himself to do it.]

How..how long have you been here, sir? What's the last thing you remember from home?

I've been here a few months. I'm from earlier than Simmons. The last thing I remember was heading back to Providence from Portland.

[ He knows about Ward, of course. He doesn't remember, but Simmons had told him about it. It had been enough of a shock that he doesn't want to throw that information at Fitz if he's not ready for it. ]

What about you?

[And someone else he's familiar with that has no idea the things that he's been through; that any of them have been through.

It makes him flinch and he looks down, starting to get a bit twitchy again.]

We...SHIELD...collapsed. Fell apart because of..because of HYDRA. You were made director and we're in hiding, for the most part.

I knew about HYDRA. I'm from after that. Did not know that I'm going to be director, though.

[ He mulls that piece of information over. Of course he'd been moving up and doing well for himself, but for some reason that hadn't really been a goal he'd thought too long or hard about. Then again the idea of anyone other than Fury seems foreign. He'd half thought of the man as immortal and permanent leader of SHIELD for so long.

In any case, Fitz seems jumpy and Phil wants to get to the bottom of that first and foremost. ]

We can catch up later. Let's get you settled. You look like you've had a day.

No but--what I mean is that SHIELD..SHIELD is gone. For the most part. Public enemy number one has been used a bit.

[He's rambling and he knows it, Fitz stopping himself as he takes a breath, nodding when Coulson speaks again.

And for a moment there's a grateful smile but it's hard to keep it in place.]

Yes that would be good.

[ Phil is sure that Fitz must be overwhelmed. They'll have time to go over everything later, but right now Phil wants to make sure all of his people are taken care of. ]

Most of us have rooms near each other. I think it's best if we all stick together.

Yes..yes of course. That would be...it would be good to do that.

[He glances down as he speaks, wringing his hands together a bit. Being near Jemma was going to be quite the challenge.]

Let's find you a room, then, and if you have any more questions, I'll fill in what I can while we get you settled.

[ He starts to lead the way. This place can be a handful at first, but he has faith that Fitz can jump right into and hold his own. ]
