War on HYDRA[]
- "People of the United Nations, I, Margaret Alexandra Carter, stands before you as the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. For decades since the end of the war, many of us were unaware that HYDRA, which was once led by the Red Skull, was hiding within this agency, but its not just S.H.I.E.L.D., they could be hiding anywhere. They can still be anywhere, hiding within different agencies around the world. Maybe inside this building, listening to this message that I am about to bring. But I will tell you this. I know many of you lost your trust and faith over S.H.I.E.L.D., claiming that this agency was a terrorist organization that nearly succeeded in conquering the world by bringing oppression and eliminating those who pose a threat to HYDRA. Those of us in S.H.I.E.L.D. still hold our morals and that is why we managed to prevent HYDRA from unleashing the most unspeakable horror that all of you would've suffered from. The principle of S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded upon was pure and the only thing that this agency is meant to do is protect. HYDRA is still out there, waiting to strike again. We cannot defeat HYDRA if you don't allow S.H.I.E.L.D. to remain active as your national and global security. I urge all of you to reconsider yourselves in allowing us to continue our job. But if that's not enough, I will promise you this. The Avengers and I will not rest until we lead S.H.I.E.L.D. to put a stop to HYDRA's continued plan of world domination. I ask you all to trust us, for S.H.I.E.L.D. was never the enemy, for the only enemy that remains a threat to all of us is HYDRA. HYDRA is the main problem that the world must still face."
