Call it a pissing contest. [ Two sides of the same coin. Neither one of them was going to give up. ] Coulson came after me. I went after someone he cared deeply about. Seemed fair. [ He gets that Fitz is fishing for answers and likely has zero idea about Maveth and what HYDRA's after. Not that any of that matters here. Besides -- it wasn't like he purposely went after Rosalind. It had been a kill order from Malick after she'd found out about his connections to HYDRA. He did however take some personal satisfaction out of seeing Coulson suffer. The man deserved it. ]

Are you alone here? Or is Simmons with you? [ The two hardly ever separated. ]
