Beth Morgan
Beth's eyebrows scrunched together for a moment in obvious confusion. The other woman thought that Lou was a Hydra agent? What could the man have possibly said or done to provoke such a serious accusation? Misreading the situation, Beth was actually caught between laughing for how absurd it sounded, and calling for backup. Whether or not Lewis was a Hydra agent or not, he'd need to be questioned after being accused of such a thing. She seriously doubted that anything would become of it, though. The guy was pretty well known for being a total goof ball. He didn't exactly come across as Hydra material. However, when Harley duplicated herself as if anticipating Beth to attack her, any humor that Beth had been battling with before splintered away. 'Return to America?' She didn't think that they were in America anymore? 'Fellow Hydra agent?' And then it hit Beth like a ton of bricks. Harley didn't just think that Lou was a Hydra agent. She thought that she was at a Hydra facility. Beth didn't know about the infection which had been brought to their base, and nor did she know about Harley's past. She did remember seeing how beat up Harley had looked upon returning from the Hydra base yesterday, however, and so she assumed that this was some sort panic attack triggered by possible PTSD from that incident alone. Trying to calm the situation down, Beth held both of her hands up in front of her chest, palms forward, to show that she meant no harm. "You're still in America, Harley." She said, having overheard Lewis say the girl's name just moments before. Otherwise, she sadly wouldn't have remembered. "This is SHIELD. That is Lewis, and I'm a SHIELD agent, too." She tried to explain, her eyes trailing to the knife that Harley was holding more than once, fearing for Lou and for what might happen if Harley did manage to leave from the building in such a state. "We're the good guys, and you're safe here." She said, and the agent once again thought back on her and Steve's visit to the medical wing. Harley and Lewis had been there, but there had been someone else, too. "Do you want me to call Carter?" Beth asked suddenly, unsure if Harley would have a positive or negative reaction to the blonde. She hoped that it would be the latter.

Leo Fitz
Fitz gave a small nod of acknowledgement, though he was willing to bet that he'd find whatever Bobbi had been working on to be perfectly interesting. Another thought sprang into his mind, however. "Did either of you get to see the Cradle yesterday?" He asked, recalling all of the fuss that had been circulating around it last night. The machine wasn't used very frequently, for reasons which he never really understood. So, whenever it was brought out for use, it was always a topic of interest down in the labs. "I tried to get a decent look at it, but they said that I didn't have the proper clearance level." He said with a slight scowl, actually missing the times when levels were thought to be a thing of the past.
