a promised voice test....

[secondtofury]

 M'am?

It would be within your best interest to reconsider this.

[rainingarrows]

Yeah, Hill.

You're doomed.

[secondtofury]

That seems a bit dramatic of you to say, Barton.

[rainingarrows]

You haven't been around this particular group of "muns" as long as I have.

Trust me, you're not getting out of this just by asking for a reconsideration.

[black_widow]

I would tell you to ignore Barton, but he's right.

[rainingarrows]

Of course I'm right.

[black_widow]

Don't let it get to your head.

[secondtofury]

It's a little drastic, don't you think? To declare me "doomed" from the beginning?

[anomaliiiiies]

They're stubborn at times.

[secondtofury]

So I've noticed. And more often than not, they won't listen to reason.

[starknaked]

Good luck with that.

Also, evil stepmother does seem about right.

[secondtofury]

Evil stepmother is far from accurate at this moment in time, Stark.

[nobodysweapon]

You're probably as close to sane as anyone involved with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Maybe with you around you can suggest that chasing me is a resource drain.

[secondtofury]

I'll consider that a compliment....

[She pauses a beat.]

I may suggest, but that does not mean my input will be considered.

[amygdalae]

I think they do have their best interests. It just doesn't seem to involve ours.

[secondtofury]

Their interests are questionable at best.

[technetronic]

If you want to get them to do what you want you have to try reverse psychology.

[secondtofury]

So I should cooperate to make her lose interest? I fail to see how that would work.

[solutions]

Asking nicely isn't the only method of persuasion SHIELD authorizes, Agent Hill. Give any others a run?

[secondtofury]

Asking nicely is simply Phase One of the plan, Director Fury. She'll have time to consider before I implement any other attempts.

/crashes into this

[savesthedance]

Good luck getting her to listen, ma'am.

<3

[secondtofury]

From what I've seen so far, I'll need it. Thank you, Captain.

[debrief]

They rarely take their own best interest into account.

[secondtofury]

[There's a long pause. Just.... give her a moment on this one.]

So I've noticed...

[notwithoutyou]

Yeah, they tend not to listen to us. But, hey, the guys? They ain't so bad once you get used to 'em.

[secondtofury]

I was attempting to do her a favor by giving her the chance to listen to reason...

[A pause] I don't exactly intend on "getting used" to anyone.
