3rd person POV
As the helicopter landed in front of the final HYDRA base, the memories came flooding back to Tony. Tony clenched his fists and saw Bruce doing the same.
"Don't Hulk out there, buddy." Tony said, patting Bruce on the shoulder.
"Not plannin' on it."
Nat and Hope were stretching, a key component to winning a battle... at least in their minds. Everyone else just made sure they had everything.
The door opened and out came the hero's. Tony flew off immediately, as did Vision, while T'Challa and Bucky ran ahead of the group.
Once they had a clear visual on the building, Sam flew into the air. He sent a drone into the building through a window. Shortly after, a gunshot was heard, almost instantaneously a group of soldiers came running out of the building.
They started shooting into the woods, hitting Steve's sheild. Bucky held up a gun and began shooting the soldiers aiming at him and Steve. All the soldiers then fired in their direction, allowing Nat to sneak into the building.
Nat climbed up a wall and entered through a window. She slowly walked throughout the empty room, it seemed abandoned. Nothing was there, just animal excrement, old papers and some sticks.
She began her decent down the creaky wooden stairs, eerily aware of the creaks of the boards in an otherwise silent building. The dust swirled in the air, visible due to the windows letting in all the sun's light.
Nat heard the unmistakable voice of Thor, from outside. He seemed happy, which was a good sign. She hit the concrete floor and squatted. If a soldier saw her through the ground floor window, they'd realize the team was just distracting them... and she would be compromised.
Now walking on her knees, Nat heard a faint sound. She pressed her ear to the floor and the sound became clearer. She crawled along until she noticed something, a brick on the wall that stuck out more than the others. She pressed it and saw the floor open up.
A bright, blue light came from the new passage and Nat could see a white staircase. She walked down the steps and saw him.
"Manek." Nat said, he turned around to see her pointing a gun at him, he grinned.
"I heard you caught my brother." This Manek said, Nat nodded.
"He killed my friend." She reminded him, he laughed.
"Natasha, Natasha, Natasha." He said, wagging a finger.
"Don't."
"You're a cleaver one, pity you left the Red Room though."
"It's not, it's the best thing I've ever done."
"You always say that."
"I always mean it." She retorted, he laughed.
This Manek had the same grin as his brother, the same eyes too. But this one had gray, thinning hair, and a scar above his left eyebrow.
"Put your hands in the air." Nat said, he shook his head.
"You know I'm not going to do that."
"I hoped you would." She said, shooting him in the knee. He collapsed to the ground, smiling through the pain.
"What have you been working on?" Nat asked.
"We've tested two Asgardians, one half-Asgardian, a human and a super soldier to see who was the most resilient. Well, physically speaking. Our goal is to create the most powerful soldier ever seen."
"Was, your goal was."
"Maybe now, but I have a feeling someone will use the information we've collected."
"I wouldn't be too sure of that."
"Agent Romanov, you never are."
Nat put cuffs on him and matched him out of the building.
"Collect the stuff in the lab." She told Tony, he nodded.
"I'm going to help." Bruce said. She nodded while giving him a quick kiss.
Steve walked past them, Manek giggled.
"HAIL HYDRA!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, for all the world to hear.
