When SHIELD created the special Operation: Lightning Storm team led by Ms. Marvel, Agent Locke was assigned as Psi-Ops liaison. In their first meeting, Locke communicated to Carol that what she felt in Julia Carpenter was pure and simple hatred. Carol asks Locke to want to know what Julia is thinking about every second. Locke later confirms that Julia's parents are where Agent Baines found them. After the meeting between Carol and Maria Hill, Carol was so enraged at Hill that Locke asked Carol to relax about Maria Hill because with her active psychic equipment it was difficult to hear something over her thoughts. After chasing the agents of the A.I.M. and seeing them flee, Carol asked Locke where they were fleeing and Locke replied that they were returning to the base as everyone was thinking that they did not want to be near Seattle when the Dark Door would activate.
