Natasha Romanoff has posed:
It's the courtyard of the Triskelion. A group arriving from the Hellicarrier has just disembarked. A rather routine personnel transfer. Natasha Romanova is sititng outside, ignoring the cold while scanning over some data padds about the recent explosions around Manhattan planted by an unknown group.

Jessica Drew has posed:
Trailing the group from the Helicarrier, a black duffle bag over her shoulder, Jessica slows on seeing Agent Romanov.

"Any updates on the sitrep in Manhattan you can share?"

She drops the bag at her feet and toes it out of the way. Like the others in the group she wears a black tactical suit, but unlike the others she is shod in light slippers that the her friends mockingly call her ballet slippers.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would glance at Jessica, "NOne of any meaning. The propaganda broadcast was of a generic nature, and no specific demands were given or identifiers. The bombs themselves were of moderate quality, but with no forensics evidence of whom might have made them. Doctor Banner was kidnapped in the middle of the engagement so it was likely a distraction while he was grabbed. He has since been recovered but remembers little of any use."

Jessica Drew has posed:
A frown etched between her dark brows, Jessica taps her chin, nodding thoughtfully. "Likely just that."
th a sigh, "Well, you know this has been in somebody's pipeline for a while. Matching his physiology with something that would knock him out and wipe his memory is no mean feat."

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would nod, "When he was transformed. He can still be rendered unconscious before he can fully transform if taken by surprise. Likely by drugs. Also possibly sufficient blunt force trauma to take him out before he can get agitated."

Jessica Drew has posed:
"I didn't know that." The crease between Jess's brows etches itself deeper. "Do we have any trace of the perps? Who is lead on the investigation?"

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would sigh, "It's an Avengers thing primarily for now given the lack of immediate forensics data to ofllow up on. So likely Stark and whomever else on the team wishes to prioritize it. The Captain is coordinating it."

Jessica Drew has posed:
A slow smile spreads over the spider agent's lips. "Cap? That's good news. I like working with him."
