Simmons doesn't want to be the herald of this sort of bad news. It's not her place to tell, especially when she thinks that Dr. Banner surely has several levels on her when it comes to their classification (at least, he had when the levels still existed). "I'm not entirely sure I should be the one telling you this," is what she admits, because she knows for a fact she can't tell him about Director Fury and probably shouldn't talk about Agent Coulson, which leaves precious little for them to discuss. "If you were adamant about wanting to know, I suppose I could, but you have to be absolutely certain you want to be let out of the dark," she insists.
