The White House claims credit for capturing the Black Widow and gives SHIELD an ultimatum, which has Aja questioning whose side the President is on.

Aja and her SHIELD colleagues successfully captured the Black Widow and her associates on their last mission. However, the White House has forbidden them, along with the CIA and FBI, from any further involvement in investigating, identifying, or prosecuting the multitude of high-speed rail service customers who exploited underage children.

The message was loud and clear. Find a new case, or SHIELD will be decommissioned and its agents considered as traitors, charged with treason, and imprisoned. So what choice did they have? As SHIELD leadership works to identify their next case, Aja is not feeling as cooperative. But the moment she delves a little too deeply into why the White House is against their involvement, she mysteriously disappears.

Has Aja gone rogue and fled to protect her colleagues? Or has the White House caught wind of her actions and locked her away? Or, as the Black Widow predicted, has the President made her disappear in a more permanent manner?
