she resorts to tactics like that as a FIRST resort,

Maria Hill asks him several times what the House of M is, and he just tries to run away.

and indeed, if you look at the way she treated Peter, for all of her "I don't have time to play games" bullshit, she very clearly extracted information from his mind in the most painful and humiliating GAME-PLAYING way possible, for no other reason than to assert her dominance. She WANTED Peter to know that she'd ripped the information from his mind, and she WANTED it to hurt him, or else she would have had her psychic take the information from his mind WHILE HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS (because really, WHY would she need him awake, when he'd be putting up LESS RESISTANCE while he was asleep?),

There's nothing to suggest she could have gotten the information while he was asleep, and that she was lying when she said she needed him to be "awake and distracted."

While she has been ruthless and has done morally questionable things, Maria Hill being a sadist who wanted to torment Peter instead of just getting the information the quickest way possible doesn't really fit Bendis's characterization of her.

and she wouldn't have wasted time TELLING HIM WHAT SHE'D DONE AFTERWARDS.

Only after he asked why he was being let go.
