"What I feel doesn't seem to be too important to you in this context, so why ask?" Oh, basically delivering a criminal to his death isn't going to be easy and Kate doesn't even try to fool herself into thinking that. It'll be a process, a long one most likely, but weighing the options of standing back and letting perps do what they want freely against at least trying to continue fighting for justice means she has to give up the one thing what has run her life for the last few years.

"Only if it means I still get some front line work." She's okay playing intel, but she didn't become a superhero just to tap CiD lines. If Kate gets shuttled to that only because she won't end a life, she might as well just keep on keeping on with the Young Avengers.
