Solenski Plaza, 3rd Floor, Russia
Out in the outskirts, near a railroad, a still in construction building was being occupied by Georgi Luchkov, a large, Russian general, along with his thugs.
A tall thug was in the middle of a brutal beating on Reiko Selvig, now going by Reiko, looking more mature, with her hair cut to her shoulders, and toned from training. He backhanded Reiko's face. She felt the pain, but did not breakdown.
Luchkov, smiling, walked up to her.
"This is not how I wanted the evening to go." Luchkov said in Russian.
"I know how you wanted this evening to go. Believe me, this is better." Reiko replied in Russian.
"I'd like to know why they sent you to carry out all of our shipments of Stark Industries Weapons technology." Luchkov said.
The tall thug rocked her chair back, balancing her off the edge of an open floor. Reiko was now scared.
"I thought General Soholob was in charge of the export business. Why is he exporting Stark Weapons?" Reiko asked.
"Soholob? Your reputation is quite the progression. The famous Kitsune. Nothing but a pretty face." Luchkov said.
"You really think I'm pretty?" Reiko asked.
Luchkov slowly walked over to a table filled with tools. He picked up a pair of pliers. The tall thug opened up her mouth wide open.
"Why don't you tell Stark, well," Luchkov said, then in English. "You may have to write it down."
Suddenly, the weaselly thug's cell rings. Confused, he answered.
"Ya?" The weaselly thug said and looked at Luchkov. "It's for you."
Luchkov took the phone, pissed.
"Who the hell is..." Luchkov said.
"You're at 114 Solenski Plaza, 3rd floor. We have an F22 exactly 8 miles out. Put the woman on the phone or I will blow up the block before you can make the lobby." Coulson said.
Luchkov placed the cell phone against Reiko's ear seeing how she was tied to a chair with her hands tied behind her back.
"We need you to come in." Coulson said.
"Are you kidding? I'm working!" Reiko said.
"This takes precedence." Coulson said.
"I'm in the middle of an interrogation and this moron is giving me everything." Reiko said.
"I don't give everything." Luchkov said.
Reiko gave him a look.
"Look, you can't pull me out of this right now." Reiko said.
"Reiko. Your sister's back." Coulson said.
Reiko paused.
"Let me put you on hold." Reiko said.
She nodded to Luchkov. As Luchkov came to take the phone off her, Reiko hit him with her leg and head butted him. She stood up elegantly and started attacking the the tall thug by kickboxing him in the face.
Still tied, she rolled over the weaselly thug after she tripped him.
She then stomped on the tall thug foot with peg of the chair, then knocked him out with her head.
She then flipped over and fell down hard on the weaselly thug, breaking the chair. She saw the tall thug stand.
Giving her momentum, she ran at him drop kicking him, fell down and flipped right back up, wrapped her legs around his neck and knocked him out cold.
She grabbed Luchkov, wrapped his leg around with a hanging chain and dropped him down the open floor, dangling. She picked up the phone and her heels.
"Where's Kuri now?" Reiko asked.
"We don't know." Coulson said.
"But she's alive." Reiko said.
"We think she's been brainwashed. I'll brief you on everything when you get back. But first, we need you to talk to the big guy." Coulson said.
"I've got a better idea," Reiko said. "I have to be with you when you talk to Stark, or he won't listen. As for the big guy, I've got a young trainee who is perfect for the job. Emotional control is her expertise."
"Another one of you and Stark's pet projects," Coulson said. "What's her name?"
"Billie Jenkins," Reiko said.
