Who: Phil Coulson & Maria Hill When: Thursday, October 3rd, 2012 Where: Gotham City, Maria's hotel What: Paying it back Rating: R for Maria's undoubted swearing
He really hadn't planned to take another trip back to Gotham so soon, but things often changed rapidly. And this was worth the gas money he was paying out of pocket, since it wasn't an official mission. Actually, this was one he was keeping off the books completely, for his and Maria's sake.
She hadn't sent him back a text message or phoned since their initial discussion about her recovery, and he'd assumed she wouldn't. Stubborn, that woman. Phil actually smiled at the thought as he made his way to a less friendly part of the city. It was an admirable trait in a Deputy Director, but off duty, it was even endearing. Pulling into the parking lot, he checked the information he'd taken from SHIELD databases for someone named "Robin" staying here. Room 204.
Parking, he made his way to the hotel room door and knocked, waiting.
