Morse signed on with S.H.I.E.L.D., and became a field agent. Morse failed at her first field assignment, to recruit Ka-Zar for S.H.I.E.L.D. Morse took on the costumed guise of the Huntress, to root out corruption within S.H.I.E.L.D. Branded a traitor, Morse adopted the costumed guise of the Mockingbird, and presented her evidence to the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nicholas Fury. After recovering from several gunshots, Mockingbird turned down a position with S.H.I.E.L.D., to go solo.
