Hill disagrees with this request and that for her the life of agents is more important. Suddenly the Tesseract creates a portal that transports Loki to Earth. After hypnotizing Selvig and Barton, Loki escapes with the Tesseract. Fury told Hill that Agent Barton betrayed them, which Hawkeye listened and immediately attacked her. She informed Fury informed that there were many casualties after the destruction of the Project PEGASUS after unsuccessfully chasing Loki and Barton. With this information, Fury told her that now was a war.
Now with the team of experts assembled at the Helicarrier, she was surprised that Stark knew thermo-nuclear physics, which he responded that he studied the all night Selvig's notes.

She later gave the location of Providence to Glenn Talbot in order to protect Phil Coulson and his team. That night, Hill asked Coulson leave SHIELD and work for Tony Stark as the world saw them as a terrorist group. He refused because Stark thought he was dead.
