"What was with that expression? It was just this little thing?" Harry asked.
Coulson's expression was unusually grave, as though he had discovered an activated nuclear warhead in Washington D.C.
Faced with Harry's question, Coulson froze for a moment. Then he remembered that he already knew Skye had been designated as an 084 within S.H.I.E.L.D.
