San Francisco.
Inside a Japanese restaurant.
Yakushi Kabuto brought Raina with him to make a deal with Coulson.
When Coulson walked into the private room of the restaurant and saw Raina before him, he was astonished. He had not expected her to have gotten out of prison and thrown in with the Sound Ninja. Back then, he had even wanted some Agents from S.H.I.E.L.D. Center to defect to the Sound Ninja, but Yakushi Kabuto had not accepted them.
Raina smiled and said, "Coulson, you look rather surprised."
Coulson sat down, looked at Raina, and said, "I am surprised. As I recall, you were one of The Clairvoyant's people, and I put you in prison."
"And The Clairvoyant was with Hydra. He's already been killed."
At this point, Yakushi Kabuto spoke. "Coulson, Raina is now one of the Sound Ninja. She has nothing to do with Hydra."
"And Garrett deceived her."
Coulson asked curiously, "Was it Garrett who got you out of prison?"
Raina shook her head and said, "It was Ward, though I suppose he no longer matters to you."
Hearing that it had been Ward, that traitor, Coulson was so furious his teeth itched. Beheading the bastard with one stroke had been letting him off easy.
"Yes. A dead man really doesn't matter anymore."
Yakushi Kabuto smiled, then said, "Raina, bring out the gift we prepared for Coulson."
Raina nodded, took out the case beside her, placed it on the table in front of them, and opened it, revealing two layers holding a total of thirty doses: fifteen red Fire Cursed Seals and fifteen blue Physical Enhancement Serums.
Looking at the thirty doses before him, a smile appeared on Coulson's face. Aside from the cube Nick Fury had left him, this was his greatest capital for rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D.
