[She could say a million things, but that would require admitting to them. Remembering them. The epiphany, the rush to leave a message for the others, the kissing, the - you get the point.

So, she could say a million things, but:] Also, poor Lola.

[ooc; r.i.p. you beautiful car.]

[battleshipping]

Then Lola is going to make it, assuming we can keep it parked somewhere cheap.

[busdriver]

[If Lola gets towed and crushed into a cube, Coulson definitely won't make it.

And on the subject of cheap:]

We gonna pay for the hotel, or?

[battleshipping]

We're not thieves, May. We're just out of the cool resources.

[busdriver]

We're terrorists.

[She's a graverobber.]

[battleshipping]

Is that what you feel you are?

[busdriver]

Might be safer to sneak out.

[battleshipping]

[Okay, joke's over.]

I have been a hacktivist and a runaway and I've even pretended to be someone I'm not to save my own ass a few times, but I will not accept the term of terrorism. Because we aren't. We're the shield, Agent May.

[busdriver]

Getting through this could mean doing some things we're not proud of.

You should have let him die.

[battleshipping]

Should've, could've. Wouldn't have.

[busdriver]

And that could get you killed. Or worse.

End of the day, there are more important things than whether we feel like good people.

[battleshipping]

No, not unless those things involve being the good people. I'm not about to justify mass murder of innocents as something necessary for the good of others, we're not going to do that.

[busdriver]

We're not, but they will, unless we stop them—whatever it takes—and in the meantime, that's what the government thinks we're capable of. I don't think we can keep our hands clean.

[battleshipping]

I'm going to work to make sure we do.

[busdriver]

Next time, if it's him or you—

[Does she even need to finish the thought?

What's Skye going to do?]

[vdova]

We are anything but terrorists.

[busdriver]

We're on a lot of Most Wanted lists. I can take a hint.

[battleshipping]

You seem to be the only one. What the hell?

[vdova]

And you think that because the government says you're a terrorist that makes you one?

[busdriver]

No. [She expects Romanoff, more than anyone, to get it.]

But I've done some bad things for SHIELD. Convincing myself otherwise, that'd be the worst.

[vdova]

Don't act like you're the only one.

[busdriver]

Wouldn't dare, Agent Romanoff.

[vdova]

Stop acting the martyr, too.

[busdriver]

That's not how it is.

[vdova]

Then enlighten me, Agent May. Or is it just May, now?

[chickfury]

[ Maria is just giving you look at that Nat.]

I think the circus at congress might disagree with you there.
