Ivy here.
Coulson asked me the questions. Just about every question you'd think he'd ask if something like this happened, and a lot of things that I never would have thought of to ask.
I'm no good at hiding things, as you may have already noticed. On top of that, I was still in shock from the day's events and my friend going missing.
When he asked me what was going to happen, though, I had an answer for him that I had mentally prepared beforehand.
"What do you think would happen, if I told you what was going to happen?"
"It depends on the information you give us."
"What if someone was going to die?" I asked. "By the way, that's hypothetical, I never said anyone is going to die in this."
"Is someone going to die?"
I didn't answer. Couldn't, somehow, for a moment. "Do you think it's a good idea to know the future? What if someone was going to die, but their death was something that ultimately was the reason everything turned out right? And I'm not saying this is going to happen, I'm just saying it's the best example I can come up with. But is it a good idea to try to change events in time? I don't even know if what's happening to my friend will change anything, and the fewer changes, the easier all of this will be." We didn't belong here, me and Miranda. It wasn't our place to change things, and it was better if we left everything intact.
In fanfictions that Carmen showed me, where people from our world get pulled into the Avengers movie, they always try to change things, to avoid Coulson's death in particular. But I wasn't going to do that. One tiny thing out of place could cause huge changes. But, if I knew someone was going to die, shouldn't I do everything in my power to try to save them? I put the thought aside for the moment.
"It's not my decision to make, whether or not we should know," said Coulson.
It was probably either Director Fury's or the World Security Council's. I wasn't exactly a huge fan of the World Security Council's judgment after they sent a nuclear missile in New York. Nick Fury, I wasn't sure about either.
"Write it down," said Agent Coulson. He pushed a pad of paper and a pen across the table. "Write down everything, every detail. We'll decide what to do with it from there, whether or not it should be read."
I did write down every detail. Everything, from Loki breaking out to the nuclear missile in New York. I folded the paper several times and handed it to him.
And prayed that the information would be used wisely, if at all.
