He's very, very good at his job. Darcy definitely can't meet his eyes now and would be scuffing her shoe against the floor if she was that sort person.

Actually, she is that sort of person.

She opens her mouth to say something, to lie. But this is Coulson, who keeps an eye out for her and sticks his neck out for her more than nearly everyone she's ever met.

"Because. Because I thought that I could get Loki to stop while he'd probably enjoy killing Captain America in front of everyone else." A deep breath and she looks back at Couslon again.

She's going to put that day off for at least a few more minutes if he doesn't mind, thanks.
