He wasn't shocked when she hit him. He fell back, the eye candy packed a hell of a punch but he'd had worse. Hell, he'd had worse from Garrett when they'd needed to make his cover look convincing. He'd had that kind of thing all his life and in some ways he expected it now. Maybe it would make her feel better for having done it. Like she'd helped SHIELD get a measure of revenge somehow. He didn't say anything for a moment. Focusing on getting his equalibiriam back. Wondering what his next move would be. He watched her step back. Probably perfectly content in her actions.
"Feel better." he said, straightining up and looking her in the eye. "Made up for it all yet, avenged all those people I killed? Though I have a question, who do you think has killed more people for Hydra. Cause I'm betting its you sweetheart." He wasn't scared of her. "Let me guess, you figured I'd fight back and then you could go ahead and finish what May didn't. I'd throw a few cut off the head lines at you and it'd all be quick and clean, sorry to disappoint."
Prove she could trust him though. That was an interesting concept. They were probably the two most duplicitous people in SHIELD. They'd certainly scored high enough to be considered it. Though he liked to think he had the edge. He'd played them all so perfectly. And he'd done it for a cause he cared about. Just not the one she thought.
"You can't." he stated simply. "You can't trust me and I can't trust you. But I'll be honest with you because what's the point in lying. You lie when you have to. When it suits the mission. But here, in a paralell world, stuck, unable to get home, why would I lie, what would it gain me. I'll admit, if you'd been from an earlier point in time you'd have met a very different Grant Ward. But the cover is good and blown so here we are. The metal things you saw are called Cybermen. Stupid name aside they're pretty lethal. They can make you like them and basically, they're like a really advanced version of Mike Peterson." Or Garrett he supposed. But he'd leave that name out of the conversation as long as he could.
