Thursday: Level 8
Victoria Hand
People thought she was tough. Coulson was angry with her after she deliberately left out that there was no extraction team waiting for the boys, but you didn't get far in this business if you didn't lie every now and then. Besides, she knew that if they needed it, Agent May would get them out.
People thought she was by the book. When Coulson's team returned to the Hub, she'd locked Skye and Jemma Simmons in separate lock up rooms, the price for getting Level 8 information not through the proper channels. The scientist was panicking, but the hacker remained cool. In reality, she wasn't going to charge them, just let them stew for a while. The blonde nervously looked around and looked like she might pass out, while the brunette bounced her head to a beat only she could hear, that she imagined was only in the girl's head, seeing as she'd taken away electronics from them both before they'd gone in. It was just a test, a very not by the book test.
People thought she was cold-hearted. She wasn't. You just had to pretend you were in this business. But she did care, which is why she authorized Coulson's file being moved above his clearance. She was trying to protect him. It was something that needed to be done.
