Yongye stepped through the spatial rift, his boots landing on the gray-white concrete corridor of the Military Research Station in Sokovia. Emergency lights cast a cold green glow overhead, illuminating the rust-streaked metal wall panels on either side.
The air smelled strange, a mix of disinfectant and machine oil.
An alarm sounded, and hurried footsteps came from the far end of the corridor.
A dozen or so Hydra members in white lab coats charged toward him, clutching an assortment of energy weapons!
