Niah took the pills Bonnie gave her with a deep swig of water. It would take a bit but once the pain went down she'd feel better and be able to think more clearly. The day before she had been too loopy to really think everything through. It felt like pieces were missing. Like a whole lot of travel time from London to New Jersey. 

She filled a bowl with cereal and milk and started mulling over everything. Anything she could think of since Christmas eve. She wished Novi or her sister were there suddenly. That one of them could fit a missing piece of the puzzle. Whatever it was - Her brain paused. Goose. The alien cat. The alien cat with a long life knew about the postcard that Niah had written. The very precise wording Fury just used. 

She glanced to Raynor. Was Fury telling the truth? Raynor didn't seem suddenly more suspicious of Fury. Didn't seem like he was hearing a lie. Fury told the truth, but he had been super careful about his words. Niah wasn't entirely certain what it meant, but she wasn't going to forget it.

Matt sipped his coffee and listened. He was interested in what Fury said that he had allowed himself to be fired so he could get the group that was sitting here together. He knew that Fury had formed the Secret Warriors group. But Phase Three itself had been a Hydra project. It was odd that they had chosen the people they had. And all that was left of the original group on the team was Niah, Sparky, Cass, and Maria if she was still alive. It seemed...extreme. 

He turned to face Oliver as he was asked to give the debrief. Oliver had been with SHIELD long enough to have worked for Fury. Only Kwassi was a new recruit for SHIELD. Fury knew Dr. Larson, clearly, there was history there. Older than anyone had been aware. He narrowed his eyes. Fury's words had been carefully chosen so he didn't lie. How long had he known about the Skrull threat?
