past prologue.

[ TEXT MESSAGES TO PHIL COULSON ]

✉ I do hope you realize that was not the way I wanted things to go down.
✉ I had expected Quinn to sacrifice our lackies as a distraction.
✉ Not utilize your own weakness against you.
✉ But I suppose I should have realized it was a possibility.
✉ At least tell me the antidote was recovered in time.

[ TEXT MESSAGES TO AUDREY NATHAN ]

✉ I am sorry, my dear.
✉ This was not how I had hoped you would find out.

[ TEXT MESSAGES TO SKYE ]

✉ He's still prepared to meet.
✉ If you haven't changed your mind.

( melinda may )

Would you mind stopping by?

I'd like to talk. In person.

( skye )

How are you doing?

I've been looking forward to meeting you, and it seems I have some free time now.

( jemma simmons & bobbi morse )

I just wanted to thank you both again for your part in saving my life.

So, apparently I've been upgraded from books to actual communication. I don't really understand why but I'm not sure how much of an improvement it'll be, but we'll see.

So. Is everyone...recovered?
