Agent Coulson approaches her first.
She and Leo – they're known as Fitz-Simmons all around S.H.I.E.L.D. They're a joined pair, two people who have never worked apart ever since they started working for the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Development. So when Coulson approaches her alone, she's rather nervous.
If she's being honest, she doesn't know how to work without Leo.
"What about Leo?" she asks immediately, instead of giving Coulson an answer. She needs to know the answer to that before she can consider the offer.
"I'll be asking him next," Coulson replies. "But I would like to have your reply first."
His words give her pause. If she agrees, and Leo doesn't, she's going to be thrown into the deep end without an anchor. But the opposite is always possible too.
She wants to work for Coulson. He's worked with Tony Stark, and she'd be lying if she didn't admit that she's holding out hope that working for him might mean bumping into the genius. Besides, he's the only one Fury trusts to work the really weird cases – and helping him out means front row seats to what will undoubtedly be the greatest show on earth.
She's meant to be on this team, she knows that. The only variable in her plan is an engineer by the name of Leo Fitz.
She's love to discuss this with him first, but Coulson will not leave without her answer, she's well aware of that. And in the end, this job is the right one for her.
She's just got to trust that Leo likes working with her just as much as she likes being partnered with him.
"I'm in," she says.
