From the desk of Director Nick Fury:

Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division Washington, D.C.

To Whom it May Concern:

All participants in Agent Coulson's response team to the recent collection operation "Camo" developments are ordered to call off their attempts. Any continued research will continue as planned, but all physical attempts to contact and/or contain the subject will be deemed reckless and will result in suspension and whatever injuries your dumbassery earned you.

Subject "Camo" will hereby be instated as a test operation of fluidity for Project "Avengers Initiative" and is no longer the direct assignment of this division. The subject has proved too dangerous and/or unstable for us to handle alone.

This, of course, excludes you, Agent Barton. Congratulations. You made the team. Bring more arrows this time.

Nicholas Fury
