Fury is talking about all his injuries while Nat is getting help for her wound.

"They cut you open. Your heart stopped." Nat says

"Tetrodotoxin B. Slows the pulse to one beat a minute. Banner developed it for stress. Didn't work so great for him, but we found a use for it." Fury says

"Why all the secrecy? Why not just tell us?" Steve asks

"Any attempt on the director's life had to look successful." Hill says

"Can't kill you if you're already dead. Besides, I wasn't sure who to trust." Fury says

"Ok so what's the plan to take down Project Insight?" I ask

"This man declined the Nobel Peace Prize. He said peace wasn't an achievement, it was a responsibility." Fury says about Pierce

"And you still trusted him? Who declines the Nobel Peace Prize?" I say

"See, it's stuff like this that gives me trust issues." Fury says

"We have to stop the launch." Nat says

"I don't think the Council's accepting my calls anymore." Fury says opening a briefcase

"What's that?" Sam asks

"Once the helicarriers reach 3,000 feet, they'll triangulate with Insight satellites, becoming fully weaponized." Hill says

"We need to breach those carriers and replace their targeting blades with our own." Fury says

"One or two won't cut it. We need to link all three carriers for this to work because if even one of those ships remains operational, a whole lot of people are gonna die." Hill says

"Ok, Sam gets one, Steve gets one and I get one since Nat is injured." I say

"We have to assume everyone aboard those carriers is Hydra. We have to get past them, insert these server blades. And maybe, just maybe we can salvage what's left," Fury says

"We're not salvaging anything. We're not just taking down the carriers, Nick. We're taking down Shield." Steve says

"Shield had nothing to do with this." Fury says

"You gave me this mission. This is how it ends. Shield's been compromised. You said so yourself. Hydra grew right under your nose and nobody noticed." Steve says

"Why do you think we're meeting in this cave? I noticed." Fury says

"How many paid the price before you did?" Steve asks

"Look, I didn't know about Barnes." Fury says

"Even if you had, would you have told me? Or would you have compartmentalized that, too? Shield, Hydra, it all goes." Steve asks

"He's right." Hill says. Fury looks at Nat and she sits back. He looks at Sam

"Don't look at me. I do what he does, just slower." Sam says. Fury looks at me

"Like Sam said, I do what he does just in more style." I say

"Well, it's looks like you're giving the orders now, Captain." Fury says.

"Ok so am I getting a suit for this mission or am I going in ripped clothes?" I ask

"We have a suit ready for you. It's a long gray leather jacket with black gloves along with leggings and a shirt that has the density as Steve's suit." Hill says
