The lab hums with chaotic energy, bass-heavy music vibrating through the walls. Fitz is hunched over a cluttered desk, bathed in the harsh glow of monitors and equipment.

The sudden silence makes him jolt, nearly tipping from his chair as he grabs the desk for balance, turning with a racing heart to see you standing right behind him.
