Bahrain

Bahrain, officially the Kingdom of Bahrain, is a small island country situated near the western shores of the Persian Gulf, in Asia.

History
A team formed by agents Phil Coulson, Melinda May and other agents went to Manama, capital and largest city of Bahrain, to perform an "Index Asset Evaluation and Intake" mission, whose purpose is to protect super-powered of gifted people, adding them to a list to monitor and protect them.

During the mission, a civilian girl and a few agents were stuck inside a building, being held by the followers or worshippers of the individual they went to evaluate. Agent May took upon herself to take them out, so she entered the building and crossed off the enemy force, not revealing how.

This particular mission earned her the nickname "The Cavalry", a name she despises, and the memories of the mission still haunt her years after.
