Summary
Others at S.H.I.E.L.D. saw an opportunity in Ava’s affliction. They built a containment suit to control her phasing. They trained her as a stealth operative, weaponized her — she stole for them, spied for them, killed for them. All of it was documented.
or
S.H.I.E.L.D. has been gone for months. Ava’s cure never came. She’s staying with Bill now, and he’s kind in a way she isn’t used to, but if she’s to have any hope of a pain-free existence, they both need to face what happened in that lab prison. Neither of them are quite ready for the footage.
