HE DIDN’T NEED TO BE INTRODUCED TO KNOW WHO SHE WAS, Peter might try to be subtle and secretive but he was pretty terrible at it when it came to affairs of the heart. While it had been a year or so since he’d last seen her, he remembered her from Birthday parties long since past. “ That can’t be the Michelle Jones, can it? God, you’re all making me feel so old, you were only so high the last time I saw you. Are you waiting for Peter ? ”

“ YOU  CHEATED. ”  Carol  called  out,  her  face  screwed  up  in  a  glare  that  didn’t  meet  her  eyes  by  a  long  shot.  “ That  was  an  illegal  move  and  I’m  calling  you  out  on  it,  Dameron.  You  can  make  it  up  to  me  with  your  generous  offer  to  cover  my  tab  tonight,  ”

THIS  WAS  A  RATHER,  unconventional  way  nowadays  to  get  answers  to  such  a  question,  but  finn  was  quickly  running  out  of  options  it  would  seem.  time  to  get  serious  finn.  just  a  simple  question,  you  got  this  !  easier  said  then  done  !   as  soon  as  poe  entered  the  room,  finn  can  feel  himself  losing  all  the  damn  nerve  that  he  has  previously  had.   however  if  this  was  the  only  way  to  get  an  answer  then  so  be  it.   

Jemma had lost track of time again; she had gotten so used to just work whenever there was to work without paying attention to anything else, that it was hard to go back on track now that everything had quieted down. She had checked on Lincoln’s vitals again, and then was back to Fitz, forgetting once again to take her break.  Things were still awkward, too much left unsaid, but it wasn’t as much as before, not after he had left with the toolbox. Skye was back too after all - and she was safe, and that information had been wonderful but had also reminded her of how tired she was, so much that she had slept eight hours straight the first night after her return - and Jemma was doing her best to help everyone around.  Even if she wasn’t a medical doctor and she truly hated that responsibility. Exchanging a few words with Fitz, though, she suddenly found herself unable to focus, and twice she had to tell him what data add for her in the other computer. A bad feeling, and cold sweat, told her she had to leave, but as she got up from her stool again she stopped on her track, head spinning. “The... uh... We need new... new bandages just in case of...”  She trailed off, looking at Fitz and then at her computer, that was starting to look fuzzy, “I’m... going to pass out, I think?” Confusion kept her from moving again, but literally two seconds later she was blacking out, just for a second as it turned out, legs bucking. 

             um  yes   please   ???   when  they  first  meet  obvly  he  doesn’t  have   feelings  for  her  at  all   beyond   doctor /  patient ,  maybe  veering  towards   friendship  cause  she’s  just  so  young  and  so  is  he  –  still  trying  to  find  his  identity  in  a  foreign  land   during   tumultuous  times .  after  she  winds  up  in  his  care  the   second  time ,  he’s  touched  by  her  story .  he  sees   the  stuttering  of  her  breath  when  everyone  else  left  her  for  dead  and  in  a  moment  of  desperation  he  saves  her .  initially  whilst  he’s  showing  her  the  ropes  the   thought  of   her  as  his  mate  never  even  crosses  his  mind ,  though  he  does  consider  the  three  of  them  (  edward ,  him  and  esme  )  as  a  kind  of  pseudo  family . 

        it  takes  a  lot  for  esme  to  open  up  to  him .  after  all  the  grief  and  trauma   she’s  gone  through ,  and  he  feels  her  pain  so  keenly .  meanwhile  he  wrestles  with  feelings  of  rejection  given  his  difficult  relationship  with  edward ,  who  rebels  against  their  very  way  of  life ,  and  esme  very  much  helps  him  with  that .  they  heal  each  other  and  when  she  finally  smiles ,  when  she  laughs ,  carlisle  gets  the  inkling  he  might  be  in  love .  he  doesn’t  really  know  what  to  do  about  it  though ,  and  it’s  the  slowest  of  slow  burns  because  he  wants  to  do  right  by  esme ,  given  the  scars  of  her  past .  he  does  everything  in  his  power  to  make  sure  it’s  not  a  fleeting  fancy ,  but  something  about  her  warmth ,  her  kindness  inevitably  moves  him .  when  edward  leaves  them  briefly ,  it’s  only  the  two  of  them ,  and  feelings  blossom .  he  only  confesses  when  he’s  absolutely  sure  she  reciprocates  his  love .
