...perhaps. I'm afraid I don't know SHIELD's position on this matter well enough to be confident in that, however, and their hands may well be tied. They are, after all, answerable to higher authorities, of whose motivations and intentions we know still less. And having chosen as... dangerous a position as it seems she has, even if they mean well, they may feel their hands have been forced, as well.

I have some hope that we will be able to negotiate, at least, some assurances on her behalf--that Director Fury's intentions are as amicable as he seemingly wished to suggest.
