Nick realized too late the effect his words might have. Remembered her past. Without thinking about the action he caught up one of her hands in his and gently reached out to pull her chin around and held it so she would look at him. "Hey," he began sternly, "This wasn't like you. This guy was stupid and got himself microchipped. You knew better and you walked away and you did the right thing. You're a good person. H.Y.D.R.A. is weak, and they couldn't even keep you brainwashed and I'm glad, Jessica, because now I've got you-" Nick paused and shook his head and dropped his hand from her chin and gave a small cough. "I mean, S.H.I.E.L.D. does."
