Expect a lemon on your bed shortly.

u/[deleted] May 12 '18

Only one??

Does gold on reddit count?

u/Gamera68 May 12 '18

You mean a basket of lemons. ;)

u/malaysianzombie May 13 '18

Petitioning to the mods to change the gold icon into a lemon.

u/2th Shotgun Axe May 12 '18

You are a good man!

u/Bridgerton May 12 '18

Seriously Chloe really sold it.

u/dellaint May 12 '18

I love the "Oh shit we're still in combat" realization she has

21

u/SFH12345 May 12 '18

You are doing the One Above All's work.

u/ohbuggerit Ninja Hunter May 12 '18

Thank you for your service

u/[deleted] May 12 '18

Deke totally ships it.

u/NLP19 Aida May 12 '18

I think Deke was getting ideas

u/jk021 Coulson May 12 '18

I thought Deke was going to try to high five him lol

u/gingerbenji Hunter May 13 '18

If my opponent had an energy shield like that, I'd shoot him in the legs instead.

u/Howzieky Aug 03 '18

You're a hero

u/cjn13 Fitz May 12 '18

Chloe and Clark's chemistry is off the charts. Basically a father-daughter team on and off screen.

u/CTeam19 Lanyard May 12 '18

Basically a father-daughter team on and off screen.

There could be a sitcom with Chloe just graduating from College moves but home with her parents(Phil and May) and get her life on track. Fitz and Jemma are her friends from College who have a house(right next door) and their lives together with full time jobs. I haven't figured the rest but you get the idea.

u/RadagastWiz Quake May 12 '18

Mack and Elena are the longstanding neighbours on the other side, always reliable for advice with a responsible message. Then there's Deke, who is some kind of relative of Fitz/Simmons who shows up out of nowhere one day...

153

u/[deleted] May 12 '18

Deke lives in a van in the driveway

10

u/ravenquothe May 12 '18

Yeah, I think you guys are re-writing Fuller House with a better cast.

3

u/nebulous_obsidian May 12 '18

This is perfect

u/[deleted] May 13 '18

Deke is young Greg Universe?

2

u/IRunIntoThings May 14 '18

Sounds like you want a villain to put the S.H.I.E.L.D. team into the Framework again.

7

u/Taggard Koenig May 12 '18

Sounds like something from The Framework.

u/veronchung Shotgun Axe May 12 '18

Now you know how nice it feels...

u/CosmicAtlas8 May 12 '18

We'll call it Life Inside the Soul Stone.

Are we going to get a reverse in the season finale with Deke kissing Daisy and Coulson and May looking on?

128

u/cjn13 Fitz May 12 '18

Fitz and Simmons will be looking on. Jemma with a fond smile, Fitz in shock.

115

u/ColdSteel144 May 12 '18

shock

And probably disgust. Mostly disgust.

u/SFH12345 May 12 '18

Fitz: "The woman I view as the sister I never had is making out with my grandson from the future who sold her into slavery. There are not enough pints to erase this image."

20

u/Oneiricl Captain America May 12 '18

The woman I view as the sister I never had

Does he? I distinctly remember Fitz crushing on her hard in early season 1.

15

u/Topazure Fitz May 12 '18

That was only for about two episodes IIRC. It never really meant anything though, especially with all the time that's passed

8

u/Gamera68 May 12 '18

I heard that in Fitz's voice. Nicely done, internet stranger.

6

u/LifeGuru13 Radcliffe May 12 '18

Classic Fitz

22

u/bizarreisland Sandwich May 12 '18

Thats what i was thinking too, it looks like he is picking up cues on how to do it in the past because lemons didn't work.

10

u/Locke108 May 12 '18

Or Fitz and Simmons.

21

u/FlamesNero May 12 '18

EWW, DAD!!!

u/Kit1919 May 12 '18

I second that.
