No, man. I really don't think SHIELD should coexist with mutants. We know where that leads, right? And doing that would also open the door for so much more. Let me just remind you that this is what you'd also be courting:



Is this what you want?



Is it really?



I don't want to be a SHIELD agent. Just use some other governmental division, for fuck's sake. It's not like I even have the training!

The more you know.

Why do you have to work for this SHIELD thing?

[exterrorist]

It has to be "the government," which is such a comfortingly vague idea, because blah blah cut a deal reforming blah blah will stop drinking and setting shit on fire, you know how it is.

And I'm sure they'll value that piece of knowledge about alien symbiote musical taste. Maybe it'll swing me a gun.

[rainfading]

'Cause government employees are known for their sobriety!

You're pretty much owed a gun. That's what you get in exchange for signing over your soul, a glock.

[exterrorist]

That's exactly the argument I'll make. I'm a very trustworthy individual now.

[rainfading]

I can tell.

[Practicing—] I deserve a gun.

But not a uniform. Or a suit.

[rainfading]

Plainclothes operatives are vital to any well-rounded government institution.

And, I mean, you certainly don't look like a fed.

[exterrorist]

Yeah. Yeah, they can get more use out of me like that. I hope my handler sees things your way.

[rainfading]

If they're at all practical, they will. I know a little bit about these things.
