"Hey Jason?" James mumbled from the top bunk of a bunk bed. He stared into the ceiling.
"Yeah bud?" He replied, sounding curious.
"Tomorrow's mission... What if it goes wrong?" James asked, still mumbling.
"It won't go wrong James. In and out, then we're done. Simple hostage rescue. It won't go wrong." He said, his voice soothing.
"Yeah but... My spidersense... Something's not right."
"It'll be fine James. Go to sleep, I don't wanna be falling asleep on the job tomorrow..." Jason replied jokingly as he closed his eyes.
James laid there for a little while longer, staring into the ceiling. He depleted Jason's words in his head. It won't go wrong.

James and the team were all stood around a table, a screen on the surface displayed images of a masked man.
"That's all you know?" Sally spoke to Director Fury, who was sat opposite them.
"We know next to nothing." He replied. "This guy came out of nowhere. He's not Hydra, in fact he's not been linked to any groups. He's working solo."
"So he has a grab bag of random super soldier powers, he works solo and he where's a mask." James said. "Shouldn't be too hard."
"If it was easy we wouldn't have been called in stupid." Luna said sarcastically, while gently slapping James on the back of the head.
"She's right." The Director agreed, "He's always on the move. We can't keep tabs on him. Fake identities, multiple untraceable bank accounts, he knows how to stay hidden."
"Then how do we get this guy?" Matt asked.
"We know his favourite places to hide are ex S.H.I.E.L.D safe houses, so start there." Fury replied.
"All right then. I assume you've got a list of old safe houses?" James asked.
"Right here." Said Fury, as he handed James a USB. "Get to work."
