The investigation into The Carver case had been at a stand still. Well, it was long before Sterling joined the case. He'd used his contacts to cast a wider net but nothing had come back. Nothing of real significance. The man who had tortured Agent Miller, the hydra agent who carved The Hanged Man tarot card into his friend's back, was still at large. As far as Sterling knew that was the end of it. That was the last The Carver had been heard of.

Until, perhaps, a few days ago.

The SHIELD agent in a full suit, tie, and slicked back black hair stepped into Madam Calderu's shop. Sterling was wildly out of place in this setting, physically and mentally, and he did nothing to hide his own awkwardness about it as he looked around and walked timidly deeper into the establishment. This wasn't his first time in a shop of this nature, far from it, but it never stopped being out of his element. Magic and Sterling didn't mix and when they did it had proven to be nothing but a disaster for him. However, his business here was of a much tamer purpose. Hopefully there would be no magic involved. After all, this Madam Calderu could be a complete fake. Perhaps he should have called Miranda instead.

That might have been a bit too awkward for him.

"Hello?" He called out, looking for the owner. "Madam... Calderu? Am I saying that right?"

Shay had mostly been talking out loud, frustrated as she saw yet another girl from school's Instagram post about the "#witchlife", and hadn't realized anyone was around to hear her until the older woman spoke up. She set her phone down on the table to give the stranger her attention--she was a teenager, but she wasn't rude.

"Tell me about it," she said with a groan. "Honestly, the number of girls who just dye their hair pink and get a tarot tattoo, and think that's enough to make them a witch is completely infuriating! My great grandma taught a whole class on this at Whittemore College, and she was the real deal. She taught my mom, and my mom is still teaching me--I'm still just in the occasionally gets weird vibes and premonitions and accidentally making lights flicker when I'm upset stage, but Mom says I'm picking up basic spells really fast, so I'm hoping we can move onto the bigger stuff soon."

Shay's mouth snapped shut when she realized how much she was saying to this random woman, but the weird thing was. . .she wasn't embarrassed. Like some part of her knew she could say all this, and the woman would understand what she was talking about. "You're the real deal, too," she stated. "You've got the same kind of energy as my mom."

Lilia turned in surprise at hearing a rant that was all too similar to some of her own. She was a young girl, and obviously filled with a passion for what was a justified frustration.

"I'm sorry," she apologised with a polite smile as she came over. "I couldn't help overhearing but the reason you're seeing all that is due to the commodification of the culture," she explained. "Masquerading as support, media has made witchcraft appear nothing more than a teen interest, where wiccan, new age and witch all mean the same thing." She paused for emphasis, looking unimpressed at the thought. "They don't"

Sterling had never in his wildest dreams imagined that the generic exterior of Lilia's shop, with all it's gimmicks and stereotypical features, would be hiding an honest to God powerful psychic like this. He had simply gone to the first tarot place he'd seen on his way back from Westview. He hadn't even intended to visit such a place that day but the card had been on his mind and in his pocket since he'd received it. When he saw the sign for Tarot readings he'd instinctively turned in. Had this been coincidence?

Did Sterling believe in the alternative?

"Everything you have said thus far has been accurate." Sterling confirmed cautiously, not sure how much he wanted to pull her into this or how much intel he could afford to let her have. He opened his mouth to speak again but Lilia cut him off by declaring her sudden realizations. The first was met with a solemn nod. The second put the urge to run into Sterling.

"That doesn't mean what you think." The excuse escaped his lips quickly but his voice remained level and his hands raised as if asking her not to move and to calm down. He was far too used to people assuming he was Hydra. He didn't know much about the effects SHIELD has had on the witch communities over the years or what Lilia was even thinking. "I assure you, I'm just here for the card. For my friend. I don't mean you any harm. Honestly, this is... scary accurate and I'm not sure I should even stay. My presence seems to be giving... far too much away to you."

Lilia could see him thinking on her words, the way they reached him, perhaps even making him reconsider things about himself that, until now, he hadn't really looked at. That was usually the case with the cards; a reading, even a single card, was a mirror to a person's desires, fears, examining their character and past as much as the future.

Lilia waited patiently for him to process his thoughts, his reactions, knowing that whatever his intention was here, this was far from the end of the conversation.

"I Saw it," she told him simply, her voice calm, no spiel or act to her words. "Only it wasn't on a card," she added, frowning a little as she recalled the image and all the violence it implied. "It was on skin. Carved." She assumed with a knife, and that it had been the violent finale to a series of tortures. Lilia couldn't see the their faces, neither the carver or his victim, but she could see the pain, feel it, the fear as well, and that this man before her had known him. They'd been close.

"He was your friend," she realised aloud, and as she spoke another truth came to her, as clear as if it was spoken in her ear. The information made her pull back a little, brown eyes wide. "You're both SHIELD agents."
