Chapter 3
I woke up, dazed from my previous encounter with Doc Ock. I was strung up with chains tightly wrapped around each of my limbs. I looked around; I was currently in a room made mostly of rubber, except for the door and a window. Through the window I could see a large open space surrounded by rocky walls, I must be underground. In the very centre of the room was a deep hole, the bottom of which I could not see. To the left of the hole was a large bank of computer screens and there sitting on a chair watching them was no other than Doctor Octopus himself. My head hurt so much and before I could even move I slipped back into unconsciousness.
On The Helicarrier:
"Tell me, why did you call this meeting again?" Thor's deep voice broke the silence of the conference room on the helicarrier. Around the table sat Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Thor Odinson and Bruce Banner. All their eyes were staring at Nick Fury who was standing at the head of the table. "I have called this meeting today to discuss the capture of one of our own agents. His name is John Chase, code name Bolt. Some of you may have met him before on various missions, Natasha I know you have quite the past with Mr. Chase. Tony wolf whistled, whilst Banner and Steve just stared at her. "It was one mission…"said Natasha, Fury continued, "He has recently been taken by Doctor Octavia, most commonly known as Doctor Octopus, he..." Steve cut in "wait, shouldn't Spiderman be here for this?" Fury answered "Unfortunately Spiderman is still in New York but I have contacted him and he is on his way. As for John; he was taken from us because he knew about a top secret weapon. This weapon has the potential to wipe out the population of the planet within two hours."
"Now at the moment the device has not been made and the only evidence that it exists are the blue print we have locked away in a high security vault. The only people who have seen those plans are myself, John and the creator of the weapon. We believe Doctor Octavia intends to hold the world ransom with the threat of wiping out the planet. What you have to understand is the Doctor will do anything to get those plans, even if it means extracting every last bit of information from John's mind." This time Stark cut in; "let's go get him then, he can't be that hard to find." Fury continued. "Your mission is to locate John and bring him back alive; he is one of our most valuable assets we cannot afford to lose him. I will let you get to it."
Nick Fury walked out of the room leaving the Avengers to themselves. Natasha was the first to speak, "John is a good agent, he will be able to resist the torture for a while which will buy us some time." Stark spoke up "What I want to know is, what did Fury mean about you two having history?" Natasha sighed and began to reminisce about the past "Back in 2009 we were assigned a mission together. He was a great spy and everything was going well until a mole in shield leaked our identities. The mission turned sour and we ended up killing a lot of bad people. However during our escape he took a bullet for me. A trained assassin took a shot at me, aiming for the head; John dived in front of the bullet which penetrated his arm. We then went off the grid for a week, sort of like a holiday I suppose, but that's it."
Thor decided he should say something "I have met John before; he was assigned for the protection of Jane Foster whilst they were moving her to a secure location, I am ever thankful for his efforts to help her…" This time Banner spoke "When shield found me I was able to continue my research, until my lab was raided by members of hydra. I nearly lost everything I had worked on but John managed to retrieve the information". Tony looked fed up and decided to interject "Look, as much as I love sharing time were we all tell stories about are history with John, that's not going to help get him back. We need a plan, Cap you got anything?"
The Captain sat there for a while thinking before explaining his plan "Banner you and Stark search for John. Look at where his last known location was from his tracking chip and start searching there. The base will probably use a lot of power so search for areas of high electricity usage. Once we find the general area I will lead a recon mission on the place. From there we will all storm the hide out and rescue John. Any questions? No? Then let's get going!"
Back in Doc Ock's Hideout:
My head was screaming with pain. It took me a few seconds to remember where I was. It all came rushing back to me, I had been captured. Immediately I looked over to see if my capture was at his desk. Gone. Where could he have got to? I knew this was my only chance. I tried summoning some energy. Nothing. "There's no point trying to breakout. This room is entirely rubber. There is no energy for you to drain…" Doc Ock's evil voice rang out from behind me. "You remember what happened yes? I captured you and you know why. You know what I want!" I tried to turn and face him but it was useless, I was stuck. "I have no idea what you want me for!" I tried playing the dumb game. "Hmmm, I was hoping to do this the easy way, unfortunately you do not seem to want to cooperate. I guess it's time for the torture then." A long arm reached its way round from behind me so it was now in front. It was holding some sort of scalpel…
