Search for Leo Fitz

"We're looking for someone." "Someone else to shake down or someone you want to eliminate?" "We just want to bring him home."

- Jemma Simmons and Trok

The Search for Leo Fitz was a rescue mission undertaken by S.H.I.E.L.D. to locate the Leo Fitz who was cryogenically-frozen and located in Enoch's Vessel after the death of another Leo Fitz.

Background
"I'm taking the long way there."

- Leo Fitz

Due to a prediction made by the Inhuman Robin Hinton, Leo Fitz was left behind when Enoch kidnapped the rest of his S.H.I.E.L.D. team to send them into year 2091 with the White Monolith. Fitz, having been imprisoned for six months in Blue Raven Ridge until he was released by Lance Hunter, managed to track down Enoch, who informed him that his teammates had been sent into the future to prevent a mass destruction event. Once Hinton drew a prophecy involving Fitz himself, Enoch agreed to help him travel into the future. To that end, Fitz and Hunter stole a Cryo-Freeze Chamber from Blue Raven Ridge, so that Fitz could remain in suspended animation for 74 years, waiting to be awakened in 2091 to rescue his friends. Fitz and his teammates were eventually able to return into their time, and their efforts to avert the destruction of Earth at the hands of an insane Glenn Talbot turned out to be successful. However, victory came at the price of Fitz's death during the Battle of Chicago. Nevertheless, Fitz's wife Jemma Simmons figured out that even in this new timeline, since they had returned from the future, there was a version of Fitz who was still sleeping in the Cryo-Freeze Chamber in space. Therefore, Simmons and her teammates embarked on a quest to find this version of Fitz and bring him back home.

Months in Space
Focused on finding the Leo Fitz, a S.H.I.E.L.D. team lead by Jemma Simmons and Quake, along with a few other agents, including Piper and Davis took the Zephyr One and began their journey through space to locate the Chronicom Vessel that was storing a frozen Fitz. This mission would go on for many months, causing many of the agents on the mission to leave. However, despite all that they went through, Simmons never once doubted that they would find Fitz, although, it is believed that if she ever did, she would lose it. Eventually, all that would be left of the team was Simmons, Quake, Piper and Davis.

Eventually they would come across the vessel, only to find it destroyed, having been cut in half. Still holding out hope, they continued their search, tracking down as many leads as they could come across to find the other half of the vessel. Using a manifest found on the vessel, they tracked down every supplier on it, going to Trinawa and Pyree, where they came to the conclusion that someone must have given out information of the whereabouts of the supposedly undetectable vessel.

Interrogating Trok
Their search led them to Trok, someone known for selling traceable fuel. After escaping from the Confederacy, the team made a forced landing on D'Rill, where they were intercepted by Trok, who boarded them. Quake faced the D'Rillians alone, pretending that she was in need of fuel. However, once the unocvered her identity, they fled, leaving Trok behind, who was quickly defeated by Quake. Simmons then came out and demanded him to give her information about the location of Fitz. Refusing to comply, the two hung Trok upside down and continued to question him, Simmons knowing that him being upside down for too long would result in his death. Trok refused to say anything, but would eventually reveal to them that he never sold any fuel to the vessel, but he did purchase one of the halves. He then told them where it was being stored and the team made their way to the location.

A Dead End
The team boarded the broken vessel and began to search for the Cryo-Freeze Chamber. Piper and Davis soon came across it, and Simmons joined them, opening the chamber, only to be upset that Fitz was not in there. Piper provided comfort in the fact that it wasn't a dead body, but the team knew that it was just another dead end. They then returned to the Zephyr where Simmons laid in the chamber, while the rest discussed their next action. Quake decided that they should postpone their search so they could return home and restock.

Heading to Naro-Atzia
However, they were interrupted by Simmons who rushed to the navigation system and looked up Naro-Atzia, a planet listed on the transcript inside the chamber. She believed that Fitz would be there, and asked for Davis to set the coordinates. However, he refused, believing that they should return Hom first. They then continued to argue over what they should do, when they were suddenly alerted by the Confederacy's presence. They then shut off the Zephyr and watched as the Confederate Destroyer Ship fly over them. They believed that they were undetected, however, this was disproven when they found themselves under attack. They then evaded the attacks and Quake instructed them to activate the Phase Harmonic Teleportation Device and head for Earth. However, she would discover that Simmons had secretly already set the coordinates for Naro-Atzia and the team were forced to continue the search. They then arrived at the planet, where Quake questioned Simmons' actions, only for her to reassure her that Fitz was there, unaware of that Fitz had actually just left.
