"He turned the whole place into a creepy ass school. I think he does," Setsuna muses with a frown. He's not entirely right, but for now, they don't know that.
"But I guess we can't rule anything out. I just...." He sighs. "Things have already been a little off ever since he came here."
"Things have been a little off since the beginning," Natasha points out, as though they could forget that. "But I know what you mean. Since he's been back..."
She shrugs. She doesn't have any answers; she's just doing the best she can.
"No...not like that. I mean," he runs a hand through his hair.
"When I was in Hellburbia I had one of those fake families. And after it, the mom told me the dad wasn't usually like he was in Hellburbia." He frowns, because it almost makes no sense, but now that his brain is running, he can't stop.
"Well, this guy, after Barbas punished him, he was acting just like that. Not like himself. But like he was back in Hellburbia."
He shuffles some of his weight and breathes in heavily.
"I didn't know that." Because he doesn't remember the first mention of Captain America came from Jemma way back when.
"But, Jemma was telling me the way Fitz was acting, it's some fractured personality or some crap." He speaks without issue, but unbeknownst to him, his hands shake.
"Something that started back in their home world, not in Hellburbia."
"There is," Natasha says before taking a drink from her water bottle. Then she shrugs. "But he has other people checking in on him. It's not all your responsibility."
"You're right. But still." He takes another drink. The Barbas talk has taken its' toll, though, and opening up doesn't seem to have helped, either.
"I think that's all I've got in me, today. It's getting trickier to fight with these stupid wings stuck, so thanks for helping me. Gotta get a little more creative, sometimes."
"We can call it for the morning," Natasha allows. If he's not going to learn more today, there's no reason to force it. "Take a lap before you go to cool down, all right?"

She shrugs. She doesn't have any answers; she's just doing the best she can.
And trying to protect the people she can.
"I can't blame people for being antsy about it."

And raises quite a few more.
"And his punishment triggered him?"

He's still not sure.
"I probably should've checked up on him...." But it's one thing after another in Hell.

"Yeah. Not a bad idea." And, like the conversation about Barbas didn't even happen, he gives her a bright smile. "See ya, Nat~!"
