Talia breathes a sigh of relief. This could have gone very badly. "Mikel has the Zodiac Key, and has assembled a new human Zodiac. Your daughter has been brainwashed by a mutant telepath to believe she's the new Capricorn. They've successfully paralyzed SHIELD. I've infiltrated them, but am still gathering the resources necessary to put a stop to them. At the moment, any attempt to stop them would result in time stoppage, realistic illusions... essentially futility. Any resistance will get people killed, and accomplish nothing. However, Mikel and Sammy don't want you dead... I want to use that. I have with me sedative pills... they'll put you into a dreamless sleep for most of a day. If she can't get to your subconscious, she shouldn't be able to brainwash you. When you wake up, you'll be imprisoned. You need to pretend whatever conditioning they put you under worked, and stay quiet and sedate for a little while. Trying to escape will put you and your family at risk... but when this Zodiac does collapse, someone who knows how to run SHIELD and doesn't need deprogramming will be needed to right things with as little chaos as possible to prevent disaster. Your husband and daughter are already falling under their influence... nothing I can do about it."
She reaches into a pouch, withdrawing a small pill bottle and stepping close enough to offer one end of the bottle over. "Now, I'm very invested in you, Contessa. If you don't take these pills, you get brainwashed, the telepath uncovers me from your brain, and everyone is lost. If I don't call in in the next thirty seconds, the next people through that door isn't going to be a double agent. So, what's it going to be?"
