Nick is no stranger to collateral damage. Every time he sends an agent out, every time he gives an order, he knows the costs. He realises, starkly, that somebody is paying the price. Sometimes it's his agents, sometimes it's the targets, and sometimes it is simply a person who is at the wrong place at the worst possible time.
When he gives his orders, it always comes with the reminder to minimise the damage - whether it is explicit or not. Most of the agents know better, too, but sometimes it cannot be avoided. This he knows, and he carries it with him always. It makes him weigh every choice, consider every possibility.
That is why, as soon as he gets the orders, he shuts it down. Nuke downtown Manhattan? Destroy 1.7 million lives, lives he is supposed to protect. No way. Not on his watch ( ... )

Another collateral, a voice says at the back of his head. He pushes it away, for now, because one life against millions is odds that he will always take.
Yes. I really do love Nick in Avengers. He and Tony have this fascinating thing between AV and IM2, and that moment here kind of brings it back around.
*sighs happily* I do love Nick, you know? Heh. Thank you!
