The fact that he agreed so fast felt... wrong. He expected a fight over this. He also expected the man to betray them at some point, but that was because he had a paranoid mind like that.

He stood, silent for a moment longer then needed, considering this. "I work for S.H.I.E.L.D. you realize. Working for me places you under them." Though... he had the feeling that Director Fury had intended Coulson to take over watching the Avengers ever since his return. It was the easier job, he said. It would be a good place for him to recover, he said. Keep an eye on them would be easier then assignments and missions.

A small nod was given. "I'll go lay this out with the others. It's my offer to you, not theirs, so they will still have to discuss it. I'm putting my neck on the line for you, but... I think you belong here."

He backed up towards the door, still watching the other. "If there aren't any other conditions... I have a meeting to invade."
