>> I can picture the whole scene, right down to the passing out. <<
I laugh every time I re-read it. I wanted to show how Phil, now with new improved training, has gotten to where he can ignore physical limits. Which means he goes until he goes splat.
I also wanted to introduce Nick Fury as a positive, insightful character ... who always did have a tendency to dick with people's heads a bit, which just got worse over time. But in the beginning, he was a great friend and Phil adored him. Phil still does, really, but the relationship had taken on a layer of abuse that also makes him uncomfortable, especially when Nick hurts someone else.
