Cora still had a few moments to herself after her realization in which she managed to recollect herself and maintain the cool composure that HYDRA had beaten into her. The events they were about to pass would present her with the biggest decision of her life. The decision itself wouldn't present her with any unique challenge but the execution would be difficult. Whatever loyalty or fear that had previously prevented her from turning against HYDRA would have to be swept under a rug and she would have to force herself to betray the people that made her who she was. Who she was exactly would be a dilemma for another time.
Watching the blonde waltz into the room made her chuckle softly. Clearly they still had no idea what she was capable of. Perhaps that was for the best now that she had decided to switch sides. It would be easier to start with a clean state if she didn't have a history needing cleaning. "So glad you could join the party, blondie." Hearing him call her by name was strange but familiar. Maybe the familiarity just made it stranger. Nevertheless, she didn't have time toy around with small talk.
"Let's cut to the chase. HYDRA is going to be here at any moment. I know that. You know that. Or, you should know that if you were doing your job. Anyways, you probably shouldn't waste your last few moments of freedom with small talk. Maybe you should work on trying to convince not to put a bullet in your head the second they hand me a gun." It was important to keep up the persona. If HYDRA had already arrived, it would be easier to cover up than blatantly informing Steve of her decision.
She didn't know what had convinced her to sway in the way of S.H.I.E.L.D. but something inside of her told her she was on the wrong side of the war. After all, she had had countless chances to take out Steve Rogers but she couldn't bring herself to do it. People admired him. People admired all of the Avengers despite the chaos that they indirectly caused. Killing them wouldn't make her a hero. It would make her hated. And she knew HYDRA wouldn't reward her for it. They would lock her away until they needed her again. If that was the good side, the moral side of things, she didn't want to be on it.
