Natasha had originally had nothing to do with this mission. Fury had only ordered her to make the arrest because Li Feng had never shown any record of hurting anyone.
Natasha had been quite puzzled when she received the assignment. It's just catching someone. Are all the agents at headquarters useless? Why should I squeeze time out of my schedule for this?
It was not until she saw in the intelligence report that Austin's ability was hypnosis and that he possessed a device suspected of opening wormholes that Natasha understood why Fury had assigned the mission to her.
This mission was primarily about capturing someone. Without using lethal weapons, ordinary agents would be lucky not to get hypnotized when they approached Li Feng.
As for equipment like tranquilizer guns fired from a distance, even Fury was unsure what dosage would be enough to knock Li Feng out.
That troublesome dosage issue had Fury worried. In his eyes, Li Feng was clearly a superpowered individual, and such people generally had better physical constitutions than ordinary humans. Exactly how much better, however, remained to be seen.
What if the dosage was too low, and Li Feng still had enough strength to activate the wormhole device and escape? They had no idea when or where they might find him again.
But if the dosage was too high and killed Li Feng on the spot, that would go against Fury's original intention. He still wanted to recruit Li Feng into S.H.I.E.L.D.
In the end, Fury decided that if they wanted to capture Li Feng alive, they could only send an agent capable of resisting hypnosis. Furthermore, since advanced technology like wormholes needed to remain confidential, the agent sent could not be too low-ranking.
After giving it some thought, Fury could only set his sights
