Ever since the media incident, Yuko's lain low. And after calling in a few favors, and doing some checking around discreetly, Kojima Haruna has found a solution. A risky one...and one she isn't even sure will work. But for Yuko...she had to try.
Now, she led the duo in silence, through Tokyo...towards the American Embassy. Though, that wasn't their exact destination...she'd been tight-lipped about the whole thing.

"Nyan Nyan, where are you taking us?" Yuko asked, a little scared.
Jurina said nothing, just watching Haruna. She noticed that something was off...

The streets were normal, Haruna's demeanor was subdued, for obvious reasons. "It's no where bad." she gives lightly. "But I can't talk much about it."
Meanwhile, the Director has finished his meeting with the American and Japanese Ambassadors, and is en route to the safe house. His right hand was there...and she had briefed him on some teenage girls coming in, with powers. One of them needed a favor for her girlfriend, and that was the last place she could turn. "Did she say anything about the powers in question?" "No sir, it wasn't something she'd discuss over the phone."
Fury shook his head. "What's the world coming to, young people getting into the fight so early..." he muttered under his breath. Despite his misgivings, he was interested to meet them.

"Why not!?" Yuko asked, raising her voice.

"You trust me, right?!" Haruna raised her voice, "I need you to trust me for a little bit longer, my love. Please."
"Sir, three girls, two of which matching the description are approaching the perimeter." "Let 'em in, the third one too, she's probably with them." "Are you certain, Director?" "Yea....call it a hunch. Escort them here."

Yuko pouted, but continued following Haruna.
Jurina kept watching... She felt like she was being watched.

Soon, Haruna approached two agents in black suits. Speaking in accented English, she showed the proper identification, which checked out against the counter-sign. They waved the three of them through, opening the safe house door. A third man was there to greet them behind the door.
"Hello." he gave, in Japanese, accented as it was. "The name's Coulson. I've been instructed to escort you to the ops room. You're not prisoners....but you wouldn't want to leave before hearing what our boss has to say."

"And if we choose to leave anyway?" Jurina asked.

Haruna looks at her. "I know you're headstrong, but this isn't the time." The agent cut in. "If you chose to leave, you could ignite an international powder keg. There's much more at work here than you realize...and this was put together at short notice, as a favor for Kojima-san."

"Not until I figure out why you're suddenly dragging Yuko here," Jurina said, ignoring Haruna's advice.

The man crosses his arms amiably. "You could ask me." he gave. "There are some details I can give about it, unless Kojima-san herself wants to tell you."

"Apparently from what our mutual friend here tells me." Coulson gave. "Her girlfriend is a remarkable person....with extraordinary powers. Don't have a problem with that. But her problem is the same as any of ours: The media. You need them off your back, Kojima-san needs a favor...and SHIELD is willing to entertain the idea of helping you. But, I'm not the man you're supposed to meet."

"Sorry to disappoint you or whoever it is I'm supposed to see... But I lost my powers for the most part," Yuko told Coulson.

"Don't worry. It won't disappoint us. Come on." Coulson said, leading the way as Haruna followed with the other two in tow, entering the empty Ops room. Standing in the center of the room was one man, a tall man...and he slowly turned around to look at who had entered, through his good eye, and targeting implant.
