"She's dangerous."
"We're all dangerous!"
"She's unstable. We don't know what she's capable of, she has yet to demonstrate any signs of enhanced powers, but believe me, she has them."
"That doesn't mean anything! She's been controlled by Hydra for years, they kidnapped her for Christ's sake! Do you really think she wanted to follow Hydra?"
"And was the branding really necessary?"
"That was not my order. It came from a higher level."
"Whose level?"
"I'm not authorized to inform you. I am authorized, however, to inform you that she'll be put back in cryo-"
"No! She will not be. You will not be doing that. No one will be doing that."
"Stark-"
"Fury, she's practically family."
"So?"
"So?! So-"
"Tony, calm down. Nick, she's just a kid."
"She's 39, Captain."
"Well... she doesn't look her age."
"Neither do you, soldier. Side effects of the serum, and being frozen for years. No aging. Now, tell me, since you two seem to think you know everything — what would Hydra want with a girl who's barely over five feet after being injected with super soldier serum?"
