❝ Alien? Oh no. Your delightfully rudimentary scanner has it wrong. I'm perfectly human dear... and a little bit extra. ❞ Was she being detained? If she was, it wasn't a very good detainment. Not a single pair of handcuffs in sight and as far as interrogations went. Well. She's had better. She'd be speaking to someone in upper management about this. Once she figured out exactly who she was dealing with.  

❝ Now I think I've been very cooperative up until this point, so if you don't mind Agent Coulson, I have some questions of my own ....What exactly does S.H.I.E.L.D do? ❞

❝ And here was I thinking spray on clothes wouldn't be all the rage for another century or so....love the uniform, Captain. ❞  brows raised, appraising the outfit in question with an approving eye.

Ah, so their technology was capable of detecting the presence of Alien DNA, but not advanced enough to break down it's origins. That was good to know. She shifted in her chair, crossing her legs in order to prop a hand up under her chin. Her gaze narrowed, studying him the way she would a pot sherd she had found in the sand. ❝ A little bit of both. I was born with potential. Someone decided to exploit that and here I am today, a result of their experiments. But that was all an awfully long time ago, It's all ancient history, trust me, I would know. ❞ A dry chuckle escaped her, amused by her own joke.

She was quiet for a moment after that, contemplating his words, trying to read between the lines to garner as much as she could from those cryptic messages. Strange events. Well, she didn't have to guess what that meant. ❝ There are many organisations that investigate similar cases. What makes S.H.I.E.L.D different? ❞

He  already  appreciated  her  capacity  of  retort  within  current  circumstances  she  was.  Though,  he  understood  partially,  apparently,  coming  from  an  certain  habit  to  be  pulled  inside  such  situations,  it  probably  the  first  time  she  ended  up  be  questionned  as  common  introduction.  Well.  Depending  how  answers  will  goes,  it  will  be  another  surprise  under  the  carpet.  Anything  who  concerned  one  particular  person  had  another  level  of  classified  ---  when  his  own  boss  wasn't  supposed  to  know  unless  there  was  really  no  other  choice  …  when  his  own  boss  was  spared  of  the  constant  watching  of  one  specific  person  for  handle  it  already,  in  his  own  manners,  trapped  within  specific  rules,  for  at  least,  the  one  he  was  connected  with.  ❝  Unfortunately  my  rudimentary  scanner  is  my  only  tool  to  give  me  a  lead.  ❞  He  would  find  another  moment  to  make  a  ironic  joke,  before  realizing  that  it  could  lighten  the  atmosphere.  ❝  Unfortunately  I  don't  have  an  alien  detector  allowing  immediate  recognization,  though  my  simple  presence  indicates  that  I'm  on  the  right  track  usually.  ❞

For  an  moment,  mental  detached  gaze  who  remained  openly  friendly  frozen  inside  an  tiny  smaller  of  interest  who  betrayed  an  desire  of  knowledge  who  had  to  remain  latent.  ❝  One  hundred  percent  human  with  an  added  bonus,  mh?  Did  this  come  from  birth  or  was  it  was  an  outsider  gift  ?  The  difference  is  quite  significant.  ❞  She  wasn't  the  first  altered  human  he  was  crossing,  hence  his  surprise  was  coming  from  something  else,  nevertheless,  he  hoped  she  will  give  that  information.  ❝  That  little  extra  can  sometimes  be  out  of  control.  ❞  He  then  continued  naturally  with  his  agent's  tone.  When  she  decided  to  be  the  one  asking  questions,  he  allowed  this  for  an  short  while,  as  he  would  find  other  margin  for  …  negociations.  ❝  I  would  like  to  have  more  patients  like  you,  my  job  would  be  much  easier.  However,  you  must  understand  that  I  must  follow  the  protocols?  It's  a  bit  of  a  basis  in  a  protective  organization.  It's  what  representing  S.H.I.E.L.D.  We  keep  silent  about  any  strange  events.  ❝  It  was  sad  he  couldn't  be  more  explicit.  ❝  Similar  to  an  urban  legend.  ❞
