"She misses you very much." Baron Strucker smiled, "I know you do too, right?"
"Give me the things and you can go to the reunion." Strucker made a gesture.
"Of course, this is what you want." Pietro threw the lead box over.
Strucker raised his hand to catch it and couldn't wait to open the lead box.
The Pure Compound V, which exudes a faint blue light, lies quietly inside.
He winked at Dr. List next to him.
The doctor stepped forward, carefully took out the original solution, took a sample with a very thin dropper, and put it into a precision analyzer nearby.
"Dip--dip--dip--"
After a few long seconds of waiting.
"The energy readings match." The doctor turned his head, his eyes flashing with enthusiasm, "The molecular structure contains huge biological activity... Baron, it is the real thing!"
Strucker The greed in his eyes flashed away.
"Very good, Miracle Child." Strucker stood up and showed a satisfied smile, "You have proved your worth. Now, go and reunite with your sister."
He pressed a button and a side door slid open.
"She is on the B3 floor."
Pietro didn't hesitate, turned around and left.
When passing by the table with the raw liquid, his fingers moved slightly, but he forced himself to hold it back.
The first priority now is to confirm the safety of Wanda.
B3 floor, isolation room.
The access card is swiped and the airtight door opens.
Wanda raised his head.
When she saw the silver figure, her originally vigilant eyes melted instantly.
"Pietro!"
She threw away the book and rushed over.
Pietro hugged his sister and felt her real body temperature. At this moment, all the adventures were worth it.
"Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?" Pietro checked Wanda nervously.
"I'm fine, they just let me read books and do tests." Wanda shook his head, then looked at Pietro nervously, "Are you okay over there? Baron's mission is completed?"
"Well, it's done. Also, I'm here to take you away."
Pietro held Wanda's shoulders with both hands, his eyes firm.
"Let's go where?" Wanda wondered.
"Listen, Wanda. I found a place. A home."
"There is dignity, freedom, and... a group of eccentric but reliable companions."
"We no longer need to hide underground where we will never see the sun, nor do we need to be guinea pigs for these Nazis."
"We can live freely in the sun."
Wanda looked at his brother in confusion. "Is there really such a place?"
"Believe me, Wanda." Pietro said with a smile, "You will like it there!"
Wanda Although she didn't know what Pietro had experienced in the past year, she saw the light in her brother's eyes.
That kind of light was something she had never seen in Sokovia.
"I believe you." Wanda nodded.
"Okay."
Pietro breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, I'm going to get something back. That... I borrowed it, and I have to give it back."
If Homelander doesn't get the original liquid back, even though Homelander won't say it, Pietro will not be able to overcome it in his heart.
Moreover, leaving that thing in Hydra's hands would be a disaster.
"Wait for me here for two minutes."
Pietro kissed Wanda on the forehead.
"Whoops--!"
There was a flash of silver light and the figure disappeared into the room.
He used his memory of the base structure to avoid patrols and sneak back into the laboratory.
The tube of blue liquid was placed on the stand in the center of the experimental table.
There is no one around.
Too easy.
Pietro's heart was ringing with alarm, but he had to take a gamble because he was very confident in his speed.
He rushed over and grabbed the reagent in his hand, with a proud smile on his face.
"Ha, Baron. This thing is too valuable, so I'll keep it for you."
After saying that, he turned around and started to leave at top speed.
"Buzz--!!!"
The gravity field in the entire room suddenly became violently distorted.
Countless hexagonal energy nodes lit up on the floor.
Pietro felt like his legs were filled with thousands of pounds of lead.
"Ah!"
He was captured by gravity at extreme speed, and fell directly to the ground, with the liquid in his hand falling out.
"Oh oh oh..."
A slow male voice came from outside the door.
The laboratory door opens.
Strucker came in with a group of soldiers.
"I knew it."
Strucker looked down at Pietro who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.
"A wild dog like you that grew up on the streets will never be well-fed."
He raised his hand and used some kind of magnetic device to suck out the blue test tube that fell to the ground.
"You think you're fast?"
Strucker walked up to Pietro, who was unable to move due to the gravity field, and looked at him condescendingly.
"This is Gravity Matrix, specially prepared for you."
"Let me go! You bastard!" Pietro struggled desperately, but could not stand up.
"Originally, I wanted you to become Hydra's sharp blade."
"But since you are disobedient..." Strucker shook his head, his eyes becoming cruel.
"... Then let's make you a specimen. Your genes should be of great research value."
"Woooooooo--!!!"
At this moment, the shrill alarm sounded throughout the castle.
"Sir! Intruder found!"
Strucker's expression changed, he glanced at the trapped Pietro, turned around and left in a hurry.
Pietro was the only one left in the laboratory, slapping the ground in despair.
Twenty minutes ago.
Sokovia, Hydra research base. A medieval castle built on the mountain.
The cold wind howled, covering up the sound of the two figures landing.
Natasha and Barton wore white snow camouflage uniforms and glided nimbly through the woods covered with ice and snow.
"Two Sentinel, three o'clock direction." Barton whispered, the compound bow in his hand was fully drawn.
"Received."
Natasha was short and used the snowdrift as cover to quickly approach.
"Whoops--"
A silenced arrow accurately penetrated Sentinel's throat on the left side without uttering a scream.
At the same time, Natasha jumped up from the snow, wrapped his legs around the neck of Sentinel on the right, and twisted it hard.
"Click."
Two Sentinel fell to the ground.
Perfect fit.
"Keep pushing."
The two avoided the main patrol route and sneaked into the castle along the ventilation ducts.
The decoration style here is full of the industrial coldness unique to the World War II period.
There are thick cables and blinking server lights everywhere.
"Wait..."
While passing by a huge laboratory, Natasha suddenly stopped. She looked down through the bulletproof glass.
It was a huge prison area.
It's not an ordinary cell, but an independent transparent isolation cabin.
Detained inside are a group of young people.
Some were banging against the glass crazily, their skin covered with scales;
Some were huddled in the corner, with tiny gravel floating around their bodies; others had their eyes turned white and were mumbling incomprehensible language.
"That's..." Barton frowned, "A person with super powers?"
Natasha took out the decoder and attached it to the CNC table. A few seconds later, a file was displayed on her wrist terminal.
She looked at the files and her expression became increasingly ugly.
"Damn..." Natasha cursed in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
"These..." Natasha pointed to the photos on the screen, "... are the people on the list of S.H.I.E.L.D.'Avengers Expansion Plan'."
"What?"
"This is a secret project established by Fury after seeing Vought's talent show." Natasha's voice was full of anger. "He searched for people with superpower potential all over the world and put them on the watch list, codenamed 'Secret Warriors'. It was originally intended to be Avengers's reserve force."
