Maria Hill and Betsy & America
The idea of being able to sense the minds of others impressed Maria for more than just that the ability existed. Staying sane while having that talent said a lot about a person. The strength of identity, what it would take the maintain your own personality...damn! Factor in the assumption that influence could be achieved through this "sensing" and the temptation that would come with it...Maria was looking at Betsy with no small amount of respect.
She was about to comment on that when the next pod interrupted things. Maria bent to the side with her arms lifting to shield her head. Despite what Betsy told her, she had no experience with the shield, therefore couldn't put her trust in it yet. Once it seemed they weren't going to be peppered by debris, she straightened to watch the emergence of the woman within the pod.
Then blinked. "Uh..." She kept her attention on the newcomer, but spoke in an aside to Betsy. "This shield is going to hold, right?"
