3rd person's POV - 6th February, 2012
SHIELD HQ, New York

Director Fury sitting on his chair, Agent Coulson and Hill standing by the window, Natasha and Clint standing in front of Fury's desk.

"Sure this is wise?" Clint questioned

"We had no choice, we're calling off the investigation due to lack of information" Fury stated

"Well, we managed to link the ship with that company. That should be worth something" Natasha is unsatisfied with the decision

"Not really" Hill spoke up "the company who owned Saffron, the ship that exploded in the docks claimed that the very ship was missing for eight months before its reappearances two days ago."

Clint looked at the file Hill handed him "Lebensraum? That's company's name? Never heard of them"

"They're a multinational corporate dealing in robotic engineering, insurance for crippled soldiers, construction, housing, and real estate." Coulson explained

"Robotic engineering? Must be tough with Stark around" Clint commented

"Not really, robotic engineering is more like a side project to them. Their main income came from housing and real estate agency" Coulson added

"What's Lebensraum means though... Never heard of that word" Clint reexamined the file

"Its german, a Nazi term to be exact" Fury answered with serious tone "its derived from der lebensraum which means living space"

"Surprised the goverment let that slide" Natasha commented

"Back then world's still too focused on cold war to give damn about them, and they started business in Romania. In a small city so people barely care at all." Fury explained further "But once they gotten bigger, people started caring. Caused a controversy when they opened their branch in Hamburg"

"Anything else interesting about them?" Natasha inquired

"Their former CEO, Albrecht Kurtz. Died in a fire at their estate, outskirts of a small city in Romania along with his wife and older son, leaving only his daughter with the company" Hill informed

"Tragic and suspicious" Clint muttered, Natasha nodded in agreement

"And the girl Kaneki mentioned.. The goth one, her sister worked for them as a.. Personal bodyguard to their current CEO" Hill added

"Personal bodyguard??" Clint and Natasha are surprised hearing that

"Seems a little extreme, why would they need one?" Natasha is quite curious

"Their current CEO, Albrecht's daughter is... Paranoid" Coulson replied

"Back to matter at hand" Fury cuts in "we still have other projects to take care and its a priority. We will discuss it further at the site, you're dismissed."

The agents leaves Fury's office, saves Coulson who still discussing something with the director.

"Right gotta inform the kid" Clint remembered "speaking of which where is she?"

"Said she got some.. Things to do with her 'friends'." Natasha responded

"Friends?" Clint for some reason are surprised "didn't realized she could find one that easy"

"She's not made out of stone Clint.." Natasha frowned a bit

Meanwhile
A cãfe several blocks from the apartment

Kaneki who's in her usual attire are drinking some coffee, seated in one of the booth inside, there's not really many people around just some who's enjoying their morning coffee. A slow jazz music are playing in the background, giving the place some sort of calmness.
