Jemma Simmons stay at his side all the time he takes to wake up from the induced coma three weeks later of their accident . She constantly was telling him how knowing he was the greatest thing what happened in her life, how blessed she felt when he was assigned like her partner in this new team. When he wakes up, she knows, by the minute he look at her, she knows, something was broken inside of him.
Looking at him, all quiet and lost, she starts to remember all the moments they share, since the Academy until that terrible day. They become a single matter, one talk and the other completes the sentence without thinking, they cook together, they build fancy scientific little tricks, flying toys and wonderful devices to help their team. Until that day when both discover how the life can do terrible things to good people.
They trust in the wrong people, and now he was paying the price.
Every night she can relive that moment, in the bottom of the sea, just them, alone, bruised and ready to kick the bucket. And he, with his eternal scientific babble, found a way to scape, sadly, they only have one oxigen tank, one mask... and a single chance to live. And he choose her.
She always know he was deeply in love with her...she doesn't.
When he can't tell her how much he loves her, in a bravest act, he almost kisses her on the lips; and she avoids the action crying; he shows her the strongest of that feeling, giving her the chance to live on.
She was glad with that... but also, she don't want to end being the coward who lets a soldier behind, so... in the weakness of the moment, she drag him until the surface with her.
Every day he was worst and toughest... Sometimes he can't say a word or a sentence properly, her smart long friend was gone, this one, only was an empty useless shell.
Few days later, Coulson cames to her with a mission.
She take the assignament without thinking, feeling finally she can be free.

"Say something" Leo Fitz thought just a second after he wakes up in the medical ward, Jemma looks so scared and pale sitting next to him, but she remains in silence.
The next day, and the nexts later, a bunch of doctors come and goes out of his room... but no one told him what was bad... slowly he can move his sore body across the small room. The day he tries to talk with Simmons, he knows, something was very bad in him... every word he tries to say, sounds great in his head, but for some reason, those words can't be talked, and that was frustrating him a lot.
He can't talk, but he wasn't deaf... he can hear the entire team whispering between them, thinking he was sleeping, but he wasn't.
When finally they can come back to the new base, he was scared... the place was huge, and he feel so small, having the weight of the world over his shoulders... only thinking of her, but she was far, always in meetings, always working. And one day, she only kisses him in the head telling him she was going to visit her parents. He wants to go with her, follow her to the end of the world, but she goes alone.
He was getting worse every day after her departure, always babbling to himself. Until the day he understands the truth, Jemma was gone because he loves her, and she doesn't.
That night, she calls him, and he tries to tell her how much he loves her again, but the right words never came to his mouth... "Say something" he begs at her silence, she cries, but nothing more.
After the call was cut, he cries for the first time in a lot, he was hurt, his pride shattered, and his heart completely broken. She was the one he loves, and now he was saying her goodbye...
What he can give her, if he was useless?
In the past, he was the best specialist in his work... but now, the Aphasia makes him expendable... every time he tries to fix something, everything ends in an epic disaster, the team was giving up on him...
After that day, he stays in silence, walking like a zombie for the base, hiding himself in the darkness of the isolated lab doing nothing, but trying to look like he was. Constantly remembering the last time he was... him, in that freaking pod at the bottom of the ocean, reliving that single time he had the courage to tell Jemma how he felt, regretting all the time wasted, all those kisses he wants to gave her, all those "I love you's, " he wishes to tell her... but he was a coward after all, and his unique bravery act, let him in the way he was now. He recognizes it was Ward's fault, but at the same time something inside of him was telling him the opposite.
Two months later, Jemma's replacement comes to the lab, searching for him... and he ignores her. But her damn dog, Kala, always was with him... every step he walks, the black and white ball of fur was behind him, wagging her tail just for him.
Alicia was a smart woman, who never treat him like a stupid like the rest of the team. The first thing she said to him was "I need your help, that's why I'm here", he was dying for asking her why... why this weird woman was asking him things like he wasn't sick? Why she always was making him eat and eating at his side... but his pride was the only thing he has now. He was a useless piece of flesh, why someone would need him for something?.
At the same time, that girl was a walking question for him... her face was familiar to him, and her name was... he knows her... but he can't remember from where. She was listening music almost the entire day, with the other dog Matilda next to her...
Why the life was like that now? Why?
He wants Jemma working next to him, not this quiet smiling woman. He needs to talk with his old partner, not a freaking dog who loves bite his hand and lick him in the face. He has to be the old Fitz, not this man from today... but, what he can do?
If the first person who give up with him... was himself?
