I can trust April, but if she were captured and tortured, she'd last about ten seconds before giving information. Will she? I don't know, but we're fighting people who can have super powers as well, it's not unthinkable that it might happen. Also if people know, then Hetty and the Director need to report it. If they don't know, they don't have to tell anyone. Besides, you know that pretending isn't lying. All of us have classified lives at home. It's not like this is the first time when we had to hide who we are."
