Nick listened to Carol and Steve's exchange with a wry smile but shot a glare at Tony. "Shut the fuck up, Stark," he ordered. Just here to be fucking annoying.
Nick turned his attention back to Carol, nodding, pleased at her reply to him. A good soldier. It was nice to have someone who followed orders, respected authority. This thought made him shoot another glare in Tony's direction. That motherfucker wouldn't last a day in the military.
Still, Nick knew it would be quite a change for the Major. A lot to get used to, some adjustment. "The planes you've flown around here," he began with a grin, his voice actually kind, "Even the alien tech. S.H.I.E.L.D. has shit that will blow you away, Major." It was a "gift" of sorts, an idea to make the whole thing more tolerable. Any good pilot- and Nick knew, this was a good pilot- would look forward to a chance to fly innovative craft.
