[It's an assessment that gets a grin out of him, sharp and quick before it settles back to terribly mild-mannered.]
Also not as glamorous as people think. [It's only kind of a lie. He's done bodyguard jobs back when he was an agent. Always called it babysitting duty, and Coulson hated it every time he did. He'll slide into the sort of lie easy as anything, because what would the truth even look like at this point? 'Ex-superhero minus the super', maybe, or 'retired secret agent' if he wants to sound implausible, and both are better than 'vigilante cleaning up the streets of organized crime', which just sounds cringe.] How'd you guess?
