S.H.I.E.L.D., Triskelion, the office that had once belonged to Nick Fury.
"Finally found it. Nick Fury really hid this thing well."
"Shadow King" Amahl Farouk muttered to himself as he removed a black USB drive from a hidden compartment in the wall.
"What is that?"

Our efficiency in utilizing the Mind Stone's energy still hasn't met expectations, so I came here hoping to find an unexpected gain."
"The Mind Stone? You mean the Mind Scepter?" Phoebe was even more confused. "What does that
