Maria stared right back, flatly, as her agent proceeded to lecture her like, well, like she was a teenager playing around with highly classified equipment and files. "I assure you, Agent Romanova," she stated, mustering every ounce of command into her voice, "I am Deputy Director Maria Hill, and the only one treating this as a holiday is the perpetrator. Report on the effects within Japan," she ordered again.
Why the hell wasn't Romanova already reporting on the age-swap? Wasn't that her reason for calling in? True, she would have been confused to see Maria at fifteen instead of thirty-five, but it fit in with what was happening elsewhere, and that should have been the end of it. The fact that she wasn't...how could she have missed hearing of it?
Still, if it ended this stupid dance and got her appropriate respect... She twisted to bring up the relevant files on the computer, telling Romanova as she did, "I'm sending you the video that instigated this situation." She glanced over her shoulder, facing the video fully, and added, "This is not a prank."
