Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc She sighed, he was always so worried about what people thought about his past, brushing his hair back, she smiled and nodded. “You’re not that - you never were and if they can’t understand it’s their problem.��

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc “Absolutely not.”

She smiled at him, “I know how to share all this . . . “

She gestured up and down his body with a hand to indicate what she meant.

“Maybe I like the idea of telling people I’m married to a model.”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc “And you’d probably like that better than me being out on missions . . .”

She smiled when he kissed her, leaning into his touch.

“You know we aren’t lacking for money, right?”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc Maria laughed, “that was the idea you know.”

But he was right - she never really got dolled up for anything - it just wasn’t what she did.

“I’ll — I … maybe it’s about time I start surprising people.”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc She raised a brow at him, “are you saying I need to make more effort?”

She was currently wearing a t-shirt with baby spit up on it.

“And you’re biased - but that’s okay.”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc “Maybe what?” She nudged him with a shoulder, laughing as she did - it was just how she was feeling - down.

“I know you think I’m pretty honey, but . . . but it’s just not what others think.”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc She laughed, he always did know how to make her feel good.

“You know . . . I say.”

She was itching to get back to herself - to work out without break until her boys felt like her own again.

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc She laughed, “you know Hernandez is going to tease you . . . and I’m going to help her.”

She relaxed and leaned against him, “you know, I used to model some as well — but . . . those days are long gone.”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc She considered his words - thinking it over.

“And . . . This is something you want to do - are you leaving SHIELD? I thought you were going to take a desk job?”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc “So . . .” She smirked at him? “You want to model?”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc “Mhmmm . . .” Turning in his arms to look up at him, “hey.”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc I’ll always talk to you baby - about anything.

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc I mean, it /is/ a good look just . . . I’ve missed you and I’m . . . lonely.

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc @AgentMariaHill She wasn’t going to argue with him - nor was she going to disagree with his decision - nothing like that needed to exist in the world.

What she needed — what she needed was to wake up and this all be a bad dream.

“Brock - we’re a team in everything we do - this ends now.”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc I . . .

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@SHIELDMerc Did you go tomb raiding and . . . NOT INCLUDE ME?!?!?!?

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@TorranceMcCree + the best coffee in the city - or the best burger.”

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@TorranceMcCree + sense of who you are so I'm not surprised in the field, are you agreeable Agent McCree?"

[Maria. @2AgentMariaHill]

@TorranceMcCree + I have to trust you with my back and you have to trust me with yours.”

It tended to keep her honest - at least with those who held the same clearance level as she.
