From Russia with Paranoia:

One of the contacts that Natasha and Clint made while they were in Russia reaches out to them on Sunday evening via secure means: encrypted email, perhaps; secure phone message.

They want to know what the Avengers really had to do with what happened in China. Did the Avengers kill Wei?

It takes some time for Clint and Natasha - or rather, Natasha, in this instance - to get back to the contact through a secured message of her own. In said time, additional precautions are taken to be sure that her message cannot be traced before she leaves a light, curious message:

What /did/ happen in China? Why do you think I'd know what the Avengers do?

If you want some work done, it can be arranged. Let's talk price.

Politely sharing similar precautions, their contact gets back quite promptly, and uses names that I'm very sure that they didn't give:

You know why I ask, Romanoff. We were informed that you were responsible for Wei's death. Is this true?

From:

aa_natasha

Whoever is giving you your information is either wrong or lying. I'm interested to know which.

I haven't been to China in months.

The Avengers were there, but they were not responsible for Wei's death.

From:

aa_admin

As are we.

(Again, the we, when this contact was singular: an I.)

Lie seems more likely. It was Wei's replacement on the council who suggested the Avengers were responsible: that you're out of control.

From:

aa_natasha

Interesting. Give me a name and I'll give you the answer to your question.

Though I suspect you already know it.

From:

aa_admin

We do. Evidence since gathered supports your assertion.

I will give you a name, though not, I think, the one you want: Cecilia Wallace.
