[color=fff79a][b]"Alright."[/b][/color] Makoto agreed, completely trusting her friends judgement as she thought her own would be compromised at the moment. It's a basic practitioner's concept, If you don't think you are fit to handle the situation, especially if you have ties to people involved, let another qualified person do it. The notion of Phoebe potentially losing her father tugged at the back of her mind, pointing out that it would make Phoebe unfit to make the decision as well. Regardless, Makoto thought she could handle such a leadership role much better than herself.

S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed like it was a rather large group of people with... connections. Makoto watched the woman sympathetically, she seemed just as uneasy as the rest of them. She could feel it in the air, the tension from such a tragedy and exhaustion as well as... snaps of electricity. This was extremely new to Makoto and she would have to investigate this further later. There vaguely seemed to be a proximity concept involved. 

[color=fff79a][b]"I have one last idea..."[/b][/color] Makoto began tentatively. [b][color=fff79a]"S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to be at least trying to help and if they aren't we can monitor their operatives. We don't necessarily have to go to S.H.I.E.L.D. but what if S.H.I.E.L.D. sends people to us to help. They could kind of be a security net for us, fill the gaps that are left open. We can in a way protect each other."[/color][/b] Makoto explained, hopeing she got her idea across. If S.H.I.E.L.D. was a safe place, keeping people out and away would be tough if they still offered protection It could work... Another idea dawned on her. [color=fff79a][b]"If S.H.I.E.L.D. being a government agency/program got involved on our side it would deter anyone normal who is against us from striking again, especially in such a magnitude."[/b][/color] She specifically left out that it may also encourage another attack if this first one was from other 'special' people.
