Enchantress,

I’m going to start working on a device to hold excess aether, and it’s been suggested you might be able to help. Is that possible?

Jemma Simmons

It would definitely be possible. What was your intended way for such a device?

[Hey she’s curious.

Have you ever seen Ghostbusters?

I have not.

[You can bet there's a June reaction though.]

... Are you implying it would be purely science as your means to contain his magic?

[Can you hear a head tilt? Because there's a curious head tilt.]

They make traps to hold ghosts and I was thinking the same sort of idea to hold the Aether.

I’m thinking science alone isn’t going to be enough, as much as it pains me to say.

Science alone would fail you in the end. It may help for a short while but not long enough. I can meet with you now if you've some blueprints for what you intend to do. See what I might be able to do to help.

Also, I give my word I will help with this.

[Does that seem strictly necessary? Maybe not. But hey. She knows this whole morally 'good' way isn't going to stay. Give her word now and be forced to stick to it.]

If this is reversed before the means to hold excess aether is created, you can hold me to that.

Harry always insists his magic is science but he’s never been able to explain it in any way that makes sense.

[It’s a source of great frustration for the scientifically-minded Jemma.]

I appreciate the help. I’ll send you a copy of my ideas based on what information I could get from Harry.

Magic in itself is a science. Far more than any typical scientist can understand.

[Not an intentional insult]

I'll go over it when I can.

[Jemma’s going to frown. It may not have been intentional, but Jemma doesn’t like being called typical. Still, she’ll remain professional.]

Any changes or additions that can help, I would greatly appreciate.

By typical, I mean baseline human.

[Does that make it better though?]

I'll keep in contact as I can.

I’ve finished my portion of the aether trap, so whenever you’re available to finish it would be much appreciated.

I am available now.

[She might sound a bit frustrated but it's still because of the fact she agreed to it while being selfless. Which is still very 'ugh' to her. Because she's tough and selfish?

But the air about her agreeing to help and now is definitely different. So that's a thing.]

If you could come by my lab, or I could bring it to you?

I can come to you now.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[she just turns the feed off and will be at the lab within seconds. Yay creepy witch stuff! Sorry for the scare, Jemma.]

[Jemma literally yelps in surprise, nearly knocking the aether trap off her workbench. ]

[There's no more than a headtilt and moving to make sure the trap wouldn't fall.]

My tendencies should not be a surprise.

[Your tendencies should always be a surprise to any sane person, Enchantress.]

[There’s an awkward smile and nervous laugh.]

I just wasn’t expecting you so quickly.

Well now, there’s the trap. Do you need anything from me?
