Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.2013

Leo Fitz:
Things got out of hand. May sorted it out. She's the Cavalry.

Skye:
Where does that name come from, anyway?

Leo Fitz:
You don't know?

Jemma Simmons:
Didn't Ward tell you? [Skye shakes her hand] Of course not. You spent no time at the academy. It's quite a story.

Skye:
Yeah, well, Ward isn't exactly a chatty S. O.

Leo Fitz:
Well, imagine if you will a heavily secured compound. Manama, Bahrain. Multiple S. H. I. E. L. D. agents are taken hostage, tortured for information. May's mission: eliminate the threat.

Skye:
You mean kill people.

Jemma Simmons:
Not people: entire squads of mercenaries; almost 100.

Leo Fitz:
More than 100.

Jemma Simmons:
More than 100 men, heavily armed. Her vehicle got totaled, so she rode in.

Leo Fitz:
And, um, she had a M249 in each hand.

Jemma Simmons:
Right. In each hand. And she rode in on a horse.

Leo Fitz:
Hence the name [Whispers] the Cavalry.

Skye:
Is this real?

Jemma Simmons:
She eliminated the enemy threat single-handedly.

Leo Fitz:
She saw a lot of hurt that day.

Skye:
Is that why she's so...

Jemma Simmons:
Happy?
