While Charlotte was sparring with everyone...
Elsewhere.
Fitz and the others brought the hazmat team to the Fire Station, where the hazmat team was disinfecting the scene.
Fitz held an instrument and began scanning and examining everyone one by one, not missing a single member.
"All normal. No sign of electrostatic energy."
Skye looked at Fitz after he finished the examination and asked, "What about the other firefighters?"
Simmons explained, "They'll be taken to a S.H.I.E.L.D. biohazard facility for isolation and observation."
As for the Chitauri Soldier's helmet, it had been placed inside an impact-resistant containment case.
Skye watched the Agents at work and asked in confusion, "Did you guys notice they put the infected alien object on our vehicle?"
Coulson said calmly, "We're taking it to the Sandbox."
Killer B asked in confusion, "Sandbox?"
Simmons explained, "It's a S.H.I.E.L.D. research facility across the Atlantic Ocean. They specialize in studying dangerous objects."
Killer B and Skye nodded thoughtfully, showing they understood.
Coulson looked ahead with a grave expression and said, "If your guess is right, if this really is a virus, then those firefighters may already be infected. They'll need an antidote."
"Find the antidote."
Simmons nodded. "Yes, sir."
Coulson led the group back onto the plane, which immediately took off for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research facility in the Atlantic Ocean.
After placing the item in the Sandbox, he still had to take the team members back to S.H.I.E.L.D. Center. The ninjas from Kumogakure had already arrived in New York.
Coulson came to the cockpit, looked at Mei, and asked:
"What's our estimated time of arrival?"
"Three thirty-seven, West Africa Time."
Coulson glanced at his watch and said, "These four hours and twenty-six minutes are going to be rough."
Hearing that, Mei turned her head and asked, "Are you okay?"
Coulson
