"It would be a good assumption to make, given that you just walzed through the building and up to my office," he said flatly though one of his eyebrows quirked in slight amusement. She could be such a smart-ass. So could most of his agents, actually. Maybe it was a job requirement to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. He was slightly surprised that she hadn't asked what he'd meant by "taken care of" and maybe a little relieved since it probably meant she wouldn't be set on some idiotic quest for vengeance. That would make her an ineffective agent. "For today I'm sending you out there to fight that damned squid. Any preference for future assignments?" he asked. It was unusual for him to offer the option but then, she had been shot by her own people so at the very least he could give her this little gift of choice.
