Re: Ibn al Xu'ffasch (Damian) and Coulson
"Well," Phil said in response, his body language still relaxed, "that really depends on the agents. Instead of having only a few that we rely upon, the exact number of people working for my organization and under the moniker of "Agent" is unknown. Along with that, we have consultants, contracted workers and experts, along with entire companies.
"If we're merely talking those that are well known agents, even those are specialized." He nodded at a man across the way. "Hakweye. One of the most brilliant sharpshooters and archers I've ever known. Expert in hand to hand combat, and has clocked more combat time than anyone, barring the Black Widow. All of our agents specialize, and in multiple areas. It's of no use to be useful in exactly one thing, after all, especially when things get tough."
Phil spoke with ease, none of this information was classified by any means, Hawkeye and Black Widow were well known names, along with the fact that SHIELD these days seemed to be everywhere.
"So perhaps, you are better than some of our agents in a few ways that they don't specialize." He studied the boy for a moment. "You look light enough to be quick in a hand to hand combat situation. That's excellent, based on your stature. Of course, over time, that will change, but you'll adapt. I also," and he glanced around again at the crowd, "spotted you carefully checking out all the exits and windows, along with those present and places for weapons."
There was the faintest of smiles. "I do that too."
