"This picture was taken around seven months ago when I visited a cannibal tribe in South America; they were crazy beyond belief and kept trying to eat me, though my bodyguard was there to protect me." Replied Sara lightly as she looked at a picture of a skinny old man with a crazy glint in his eyes before handing the photo back to Romanoff, who nodded.
"I see. Though there are a few interesting things surrounding you, Sara, such as how you get to these places without ever taking a plane. Driving to some of these places is possible, but the last time you used your passport was two years ago when you took a trip to Romania alongside your current boyfriend, Pharaoh Kent, who I will add was 14 while you were 18 at the time." Remarked Romanoff as she placed the picture into her folder and scribbled down random things in her notebook, applying physiological pressure to Sara, though it seemed to be hardly affecting her.
"Um, well, I-I don't have any excuse." Said Sara with a blush of shame as she lowered her head, causing Romanoff to raise her eyebrow before shaking her head.
"Well, I'd like to stay amiable since you've been the same, but you're very suspicious, and we require answers, Sara. I'm sure you don't want this information to possibly be leaked to the Daily Bugle, which would spell disaster for your future endeavors." Stated Romanoff lightly as she closed her notebook before leaning on the desk and squinting her eyes at Sara, who suddenly did the same.
"You wouldn't, would you?" Asked Sara skeptically as she glared at Romanoff, who faintly smirked.
"We're speaking of a possible alien invasion, Sara; if it's required, Shield will not hesitate to blackmail you if it means stopping an invasion." Replied Romanoff seriously, her words causing Sara to bite her lip in frustration before sighing and nodding in defeat.
"Ugh, alright, you win. I'll talk, but I still don't know who Zara-Al is." Said Sara as she began speaking about Pharaoh.

Looking over everything Sara said, I grunted; all of this information was vital and very useful; such a powerful mutant couldn't go unchecked and needed to be watched at all times. However, this wasn't what we wanted; we needed information about Zara-Al, whoever that person may be.
"How is she Romanoff?" Asked Fury as he closed the folder and set it down before glancing at Romanoff, who had just entered the room.
"She's definitely still hiding something, though whether it's about the information we need, I've got no clue." Replied Romanoff respectfully as she stood beside Barton; the two looked through the mirror, eyeing Sara, who was just sitting there.
"Tch. She is our only lead; she must know something about this Zara-Al." Muttered Fury with a scowl as he eyed Sara with his one working eye before glancing at Coulson.
"I'll give it a try, Sir, but I don't believe I'll prove to be any better than Agent Romanoff." Replied Coulson with a nod as he prepared to leave the door, only for the lights to suddenly turn a bright red, causing everyone's eyes to harden while they grabbed and readied their weapons.
"An attack at Shield HQ? Did Zod go against his words?" Questioned Barton with a frown as he exited the door after Coulson, followed by Romanoff, Fury, and Maria while they all frowned at his words.
"Report, what is happening?" Ordered Fury as he pulled out a special phone and held it to his ear.
"T-There is a man, or kid, in a white and gray suit walking through the building, Sir. We can't do anything to him; our weapons have proved to be useless against him. We've already tried to use the prototype of the mutant-suppressing device, though it's also proved wholly ineffective." Replied a voice from the phone, loud enough for everyone else to hear, causing them to all frown.
"A kid in a suit?" Muttered Romanoff with a puzzled look as she peeked around a corner before walking down it.
"Where is he heading?" Ordered Fury, though before he could get an answer, the doors on the opposite of the hallway suddenly opened.
Snapping our heads towards the sound of the door opening, we aimed our weapons, only to see a black kid wearing a gray and white suit calmly appear from behind the doors, though he froze when he noticed us.
"Barton, Romanoff, Coulson, Fury, and Maria." Said Pharaoh with a nod as he pointed at each person, starting from left to right, though his words only caused their frown to deepen.
How he knew our names, I didn't know how, but that wasn't important right now; what we needed to do was apprehend him.
"He looks familiar." Muttered Barton quietly as he aimed his bow and arrow at Pharaoh while Romanoff, who was dual-wielding pistols, nodded in agreement.
"One warning, stop, or you will be fired upon." Stated Fury seriously as he eyed Pharaoh, who faintly smirked before taking a step forward, prompting all five of them to unceremoniously shoot at him, of course, aiming for non-lethal spots.
Just like what was told, our weapons proved ineffective, not as much as a scratch atop his suit. Switching my target, I aimed for his hand, which wasn't protected, yet my theory was wrong; the same thing happened: the bullet simply bounced off his hand like it was made of steel. Inwardly cursing, I took my eyes off him for a second to reload, only for his figure to have vanished completely; yet, I suddenly felt someone touch my shoulder, prompting me to turn my pistol and shoot behind me at waist level though I wasn't met with the usual groans of pain at being shot.
"Relax, nigga; I was merely joking; c'mon, arrest me. I'm Zara-Al, the one everyone is apparently looking for." Remarked Pharaoh lightly as he backed away and held his wrists together, only to be shot at several more times before they all realized it was pointless.
Staring at the self-proclaimed Zara-Al, I slowly lowered my gun and eyed him for several seconds before gesturing to Maria, who holstered her weapon, pulled out specially designed handcuffs, and cuffed him.
"You're under arrest, Zara-Al." Declared Maria solemnly as she cautiously handcuffed Pharaoh, who nodded with a whistle.
"To think there'd actually be a day where I turn myself into the authorities." Said Pharaoh softly as he raised his handcuffed hands before shaking his head.
Just when I thought everything was over, the doors behind us opened once again as a sea of shield soldiers exited from the floor above and below, filling this hall quickly; not only that, there were soldiers flanking us as well. However, before anything spiraled out of control and we were fired upon, I ensured the capture of Zara-Al was known.
"The intruder has been captured; he is in Shield custody." Said Fury as he spoke into his phone while the soldiers all surrounded them, their fingers already on the trigger, ready to shoot at a moment's notice.
After a few moments, giving time for my message to be relayed, the frontmost soldiers that surrounded us stood up while holstering their weapons, followed by everyone else.
"Director Fury, shall we take him to maximum security custody?" Asked one of the soldiers respectfully as he walked forward and stood before Fury, who shook his head.
"No, we've got it from here." Replied Fury as he looked at Barton, Romanoff, and Coulson before gesturing to them.
"Understood, Sir." Said Coulson with a nod as he turned and looked up at Pharaoh, who was glaring at the wall though he was actually looking at Sara.
"Alright, let's go." Remarked Barton as he holstered his bow before lightly pushing Pharaoh while he and Romanoff followed behind Coulson, who was walking back toward where they came from.
"How many casualties?" Asked Maria as she looked at the soldier, who shook his head.
"None, Agent Hill; other than slight destruction of property, the intruder did nothing other than walk." Replied the soldier, his words causing Maria to raise an eyebrow before nodding.
"You're all dismissed." Ordered Maria, her words causing the soldier to nod before turning around and giving orders to the rest of the soldiers as they all started to leave the floor.
"At least he seems relatively friendly." Said Maria lightly as she glanced at Fury, who merely frowned while deeply contemplating.
"He's the supposed Mutant bodyguard of Sara, who happens to also be her boyfriend, Pharaoh Kent." Declared Fury, his words causing Maria to slightly widen her eyes before quickly nodding in agreement.
"Either she was lying, or she truly didn't know he was Zara-Al; I'm more inclined to believe the latter, considering who was interrogating her." Remarked Maria lightly with furrowed brows while Fury agreed with her; he just didn't show it.
"That doesn't matter; the person who we've been searching for has willingly turned themselves in." Said Fury as he glanced at Maria before walking down the hall they came from while she followed behind him.
Entering the room from before, I spotted three already inside; while sitting within the interrogation room was Zara-Al, or Pharaoh, along with Sara; the two were currently having a pretty heated discussion, which was serving as a good interrogation with all the information being spilled.
"She's turning out to be quite the investigator, Sir." Said Coulson lightly as he looked at Fury and Maria, standing before the mirror while watching Pharaoh and Sara arguing.
"Well, she is a journalist." Commented Barton while feeling slight pity for Pharaoh, knowing precisely what it's like to argue with a woman you love.
