fic: Five Secrets Maria Hill Would Like To Pretend She's Keeping From The Rest of SHIELD

This was supposed to be a quick thing sketching out a backstory for Maria Hill, sort of responding to all the Coulson-backstory fic, and then I had trouble with the voice, and at this point I have no idea if it works, but I've put too much time into to want to abandon it, so... here we are.

Also yes this is my third recent story about older* female supporting characters dealing with alterations in their career paths (previously Lin Beifong and Dr. Nora Barlow). Some people retell "the earnest one getting it on with the angsty one" or whatever, me, I apparently write... this. Personal issues much?

*Maria Hill's actress in the movie is actually weirdly young for holding a late-career position like Deputy Director; I've heard that Joss Whedon wanted her for Wonder Woman (which she looks just perfect for) so maybe he wanted to use her somewhere in Avengers, and that was the role he had. Anyways.
