John meets them in the lounge, and Grant leaves it to him to do the talking, taking the opportunity to keep an eye on Simmons. She’s still looking pale and for all she was relieved to see him back on the quinjet, she’s looking downright despondent now that she’s face-to-face with John.

“Don’t look so sad!” John says. He cups her cheek with one hand, forcing her to pay attention to him instead of everything but him. “Nobody’s gonna hurt that pretty little brain of yours, so long as you-”

Fitz moves. Grant catches it—and the threat implicit in the speed of the motion—the same second Simmons does. She’s closer though and slaps his hand down with a cry. “No!”

Something small drops to the carpeted floor. Grant bends while Fitz struggles against the grunt holding him back.
