During the mission, she ran into Captain America, who became infatuated with her due to her resemblance to Peggy Carter. She was attacked by Batroc, and Captain America gave the agent time to take the cylinder, but it had been damaged. Captain America learned from Batroc that she was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and saved her, and stopped THEM from arming the explosive.
