Chapter 11: Conversation

[Watchtower; 9:00 pm; Post-Ultron Attack]

Nick Fury was weary tonight.

The interrogation by Superman wasn't going, as planned in fact the two are having a regular conversation, but not your usual conversation.

[3 minutes earlier]

Superman walked in the Holding Cell of the Watchtower. Angelica was sitting, staring into blank space, and wasn't looking at the Man of Steel, as he walked in.

He sat down, then she spoke out of turn, "I'm sorry for trying to hurt you, Superman."

He cocked an eyebrow and asked "Why are you apologizing? You've attacked me, tried to escape the Helicarrier from Ultron for unknown reasons, almost assassinated Amanda Waller, yet you're apologizing to me? Why?"

Angelica looked down, as if she knows something, but doesn't want to say anything.

"Well?" He asked, demanding an answer.

She replied "Regret."

"What?" He asked, unknown by her reply of 'regret.'

She repeated "Regret," she continued, "I regretted what I've done. I regret even to this day, I regret that I was even born."

Superman asked "Why do you regret being born?"

Angelica, this time her eyes watered, said "I regret being born because trained as an assassin all my life, and I lost the only the person who've I ever called family to me. My identity. My origin. My parents. My life. I regret being born because all I am is a weapon for governments to control." Her rage started to grow stronger, as Kal could feel the coldness in the air.

"I hate the people that did the experiments on me. I left them, but Taskmaster found me, and blackmailed me with information from my past." Angelica said angrily.

"Who're the people that did experiments on you? We know it was a LexCorp lab in Moscow, Russia. But were they another organization?" Superman asked.

Angelica sighed "The people who were in that LexCorp lab, 6 years ago, I remember a skull with three tentacles, and a man with a red skull approached me. There weren't much others that I know."

Superman was shocked and rose up from his chair in anger and rage, as soon as she said the words 'red skull.'

[Present Time]

Superman walked out of the Holding Cell, and approached Nick Fury. He said "You got your answer."

Nick looked at him with his one eye, "HYDRA."

Black Widow and Batman approached Superman, Widow stated "Looks like interrogating Luthor was a bad idea." (A/N: I will make the side story to this, called Side Story: Mind Reading).

Batman agreed "Indeed, we've been looking at this the wrong way."

Nick then asked "Why would the Red Skull make a Metamutant of all things?"

That's when Captain America walked in from another room, and replied "I heard the interrogation from the cameras. Judging by what Schmidt is doing. I guess we go after him."

"How do we know where he is?" Widow asked.

"Schmidt, as in Johann Schmidt?" Angelica asked.

The heroes look at her in the Holding Cell, "You know him?" Steve asked, and she replied "The name sounds familiar. Is he the guy with the red skull?"

Superman replied "Yes, he is. He's also the leader of the world's most powerful organization, HYDRA."

Angelica reassured "I can assure you, Man of Steel, that the organization is probably my creators."

Batman then asked 'How do you know? You're probably tricking us to believe you."

Angelica sat down in her chair and replied "Well, well, Dark Knight. I first told you that I couldn't remember my past. However, I remember that HYDRA symbol, or whatever it is, as a child of experiments. The reason I wanted to escape from Ultron was because that was a planned attack. I'm pretty sure the Reverse-Flash was a part of it, as well."

Widow asked "The purpose?"

Angelica replied "Distraction. Taskmaster served, as the beginning. Ultron and Reverse-Flash were the next. All of this is a distraction from the big picture in the scrapbook. Schmidt only wanted me to be-"

Nick answered "Tested out. Like a weapon. That's why he let you attack Waller."

Batman determined "So, you're bait for HYDRA."

Angelica remarked "You can say that."

Superman asked "Is there more we should know?"

Angelica replied "Yes, there is a war coming between heroes and villains. An event shall come."

Widow asked "What do you mean by that?"

Angelica replied "You will soon find out."

[5 minutes later]

The heroes entered the JL conference room, where Superman took a seat while everyone just stood thinking of solutions.

Captain America asked "What do we do now?"

Batman suggested "We check out the LexCorp lab in Russia. But we'll need a team."

"I have another suggestion." Superman added.

"And that is?" Widow asked.

"I need the girl. I need to test out her power." He said.

Fury was surprised, as were the others, Fury asked "Why? Do you want to cause anymore damage to the public? To SHIELD?"

"No, I'm taking to an old friend." Superman said, as he walked out the door. (A/N: The side story to this plot point is Side Story: Thing vs. Mammoth).

Fury was about to walk out to get Superman, but Batman blocked his way.

"Out of the way, Batman. You don't know the power of the girl." He ordered.

"And you don't know the power of Superman." He countered.

"That's the thing, I'll never understand you, Justice Leaguers. Always thinking, ahead of SHIELD." Fury commented.

Captain America approached the two, "Let's not argue amongst ourselves. I'm sure, Superman has very good reasons, as to who he's taking the girl to. Besides, I have an idea on who to recruit for the mission in Russia."

Widow asked "Who did you have in mind?"

[Next Day; 8:00 am; Quinjet]

On the flight to Russia to investigate the LexCorp lab, possibly owned by HYDRA.

Team members sent on the mission to Russia are: Batman, Iron Man, Ice, Black Widow, Static, Captain America, Green Lantern (Jon Stewart), Wasp, Fire, Ant-Man, and Scarlet Witch.

I'll end it there.

Hope you enjoyed it, and be sure to read the side stories, when I post them.
