===HYDRA Uprising===
In the wake of HYDRA Uprising, the CIA recruited Sharon Carter, who left S.H.I.E.L.D. upon its collapse.

Using a vibranium recovered after the Battle of Sokovia, the CIA managed to track down Ulysses Klaue who provided Vibranium to Ultron. Everett Ross contacted Klaue and arranged a deal, posing himself as a buyer who wanted to purchase a Vibranium artifact. The CIA sent the team of agents led by Ross to Busan, South Korea as they waited for Klaue in Jagalchi Market Casino. However, the plan went wrong as Klaue and his men fought Black Panther, Nakia and Okoye who wanted Klaue as well.
After a car chase, the CIA arrested Klaue who was defeated by T'Challa. Klaue was placed in a CIA South Korean Black Site where he was interrogated by Ross. However, the black site was assaulted by Erik Killmonger who shot Ross and freed Klaue.
===Deputy Director's Offer===
In the George Bush Center for Intelligence in Virginia, William Rawlins gave a speech to the newest recruits of the organization in which he introduced himself and welcomed all of the recruits into the CIA. For long service to the agency, Rawlins was presented with a medal, given to him by Marion James. She reminded Rawlins that he did not get to keep the medal due to the secrecy of their organization but he could have their admiration.
Rawlins visited James in her office and he noted that he had heard a rumor that she would soon be leaving her current position to become Director of the CIA, as the previous Director was now heading for a career in the United States Congress. Rawlins noted it was about time she had the job offer before James invited Rawlins to come on board as her new deputy director when she took the job.The Punisher: 1.05: Gunner
===Cerberus Concealment Conspiracy===
Eventually, William Rawlins found out that Frank Castle had survived the attack he orchestrated to silence him. As Castle was too much of a liability to expose the Operation Cerberus, Rawlins joined forces with Billy Russo to eliminate him for good, using Anvil to save the CIA and Rawlins' career from the scandal. Rawlins had to disclose the details about Castle situation to Marion James, requesting an access to the CIA electronic surveillance equipment to track him down. James accused Rawlins of trying to get her to sanction a murder, while Rawlins argued that Castle was a terrorist and a threat to the agency.
However, the Homeland Security intervened in the situation, informing about Rawlins' illicit activity, including the Operation Cerberus. James had to deny the allegations and refuse to give them Rawlins to avoid the scandal which could put the United States' foreign policy back by ten years. She explained that the Homeland Security does not have the jurisdiction over CIA agents' conduct on foreign soil, however, Rafael Hernandez noted that Rawlins' actions resulted in deaths of several Homeland agents on the US territory.The Punisher: 1.11: Danger Close
Following the death of Rawlins and the arrest of Russo, the CIA and the Homeland Security redirected the narrative, painting Russo and Lewis Wilson as the only suspects, which allowed Dinah Madani to keep her job and Castle to keep his freedom.The Punisher: 1.13: Memento Mori However, the CIA had to rewrite Madani's report, keeping Rawlins as a decorated agent, while Ahmad Zubair incident was erased from the records.The Punisher: 2.07: One Bad Day

===Super Soldier Serum===
Following the fall of HYDRA, the CIA recruited one of their scientists, Wilfred Nagel, who had worked on recreating the Super Soldier Serum for HYDRA's Winter Soldier Program. As the CIA possessed blood samples of super soldier Isaiah Bradley, Nagel was able to isolate the serum's components. However, before he could synthesize a recreated serum, he disappeared. As a result of the Snap, the CIA shut down their super soldier program.
===Questioned for Intelligence===
In 2024, Lemar Hoskins asked the CIA if they had any helpful information on the Flag Smashers, but they were not able to be of any service.
===American-Wakandan Tensions===
====Search for Vibranium====
The CIA and the United States Navy SEALs organized a joint operation to discover vibranium outside of Wakanda, as the Golden Tribe officially refused to share their resources. The research team, led by Graham, was deployed on the Harvey Sub-Sea, as Rita Salazar and Jackson ventured to the seabed and discovered traces of vibranium; however, the connection with them was severed. The ship was then attacked by unidentified blue-skinned warriors who used a hypnosis to force numerous officers to commit suicide by jumping into the ocean. As most of the crew ended up being killed, Graham and Smitty attempted to escape, but their helicopter was brought down by the leader of the attackers.Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
====Investigations====
The CIA arrived at Cambridge where the FBI attempted to apprehend Riri Williams, so she could create another Vibranium Detector for the U.S. Government, but she ended up disappearing. The CIA assumed that Wakanda was involved, since Shuri and Okoye helped Williams to escape the authorities, although the exact events remained a mystery. After a brief investigation with the FBI, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine and Everett Ross headed to Langley for a meeting. Ross then discovered Kimoyo Beads at the crime scene and used it to keep contact with Ramonda, unaware that de Fontaine had the Kimoyo rigged and could listen to their conversations.
Ross and de Fontaine met with the State Secretary and the Defense Secretary to discuss recent events, involving Williams' disappearance, but Ross claimed that she simply participated in the exchange program with Wakanda. The State Secretary then informed Ross and de Fontaine that Ritson expressed an intention to make a move against Wakanda, namely a destabilization, so they came to consult with the CIA. As de Fontaine endorsed Ross' opinion as the agency's expert on Wakanda, Ross claimed that there was the third party being involved, so he needed more time to investigate and figure out what was going on. However, de Fontaine later exposed Ross for his contacts with Wakandans which was deemed a treason, so Ross was arrested but later liberated by Okoye.
