They decided to stay in Wakanda for the extra security that they provide. Even if they hate the thought of bringing in innocent people to help fight the war that they weren't even obligated to, the force field and people are the best bet in standing against Hydra. Wanda and Vision arrived not too long ago and the Guardians with Loki and Thor will be arriving soon. Tony continued to look around the room and stared among the people who would do anything for his son. Pepper would've been here if she could but things have been intense with Stark Industries and a trade partner somewhere in the Mediterranan so for now it's just the team of people here. Natasha was conversing with Bucky, Wanda, Vision, and Carol while T'challa was conversing with Clint, Bruce, and Captain, the rest were silent in thought.
"Your son must be very lovable in order for all of these people to come together to keep him protected"
A calming voice spoke from behind Tony which caused him to turn around and find Stephen walking up to stand next to him. Tony released a breath that he didn't know he was holding and looked towards the group.
"He is, he would have you wrapped around his finger in mere seconds of meeting you"
Stephen chuckled and Tony had to stop the shiver that went down his spine, for god's sake he just asked his soon-to-be exhusband for a divorce and already has the hots for the wizard? He has to get it together.
"I wouldn't doubt it, he seems like a great kid"
The best
"How is he doc?"
"Unresponsive, he seems to be gaining his hearing back but never responds to my words. Whatever Hydra said in his ear it seems that he is back in shackles"
"Shackles?"
Stephen sighed and ran a trembling hand down his face showing how exhausted he was, "when I entered his mind the second time I found him in thick black chains in a cell that must've been in a Hydra facility. He was laying on a torn up mattress and was in thick black shackles".
"I- thank you Stephen"
Stephen smiled smally and placed his hand on Tony's shoulder, "you're welcome Tony"
"Boss you have and incoming call from Secretary Ross"
Tony sighed and rubbed his hand down his face, of course he'll call at the worst possible moment. He couldn't deal with this bullshit right now, he was so exhausted but Peter was on his mind 24/7 and he couldn't rest without knowing that his baby was safe.
"Send him to voicemail Fri, we don't have time for idiots right now"
"Yes Boss"
"Trouble in politics?"
Tony chuckled at Stephen's joke and looked at him, the same dark circles covered his under eyes and he couldn't help but relax slightly.
"You can say that again"
The walls started to rumble and soon enough Thor, Loki and the Guardians entered the room looking around to see if this is real. Their faces then fell at the thought that Peter was after all in trouble so bad that they were called in.
Shuri worked around her best American friend in silence. She couldn't believe it at first that Peter was being hunted down by Hydra. She never really paid attention to the group until now when it hit close to home. Really close.
She took a glance at Peter and sighed, he was still staring at the ceiling not responding to anybody. It's been hours now and that is all that he has done even when regaining some of his hearing. She tore her eyes from the boy and back to the screen, it was going through all of the possibilities of Peter's trigger words by cross referencing with the Winter Soldier's and so far she found one match. It was gonna take a while to get them all.
T'Challa then walked in, staying out of the way but near his sister. "How is the progress?"
"Very slow brother, there are hundreds and thousands of words to choose from and we have to precisely pick nine more"
"Nine?"
"I found one match cross referencing with the Winter Soldier's"
T'Challa then nodded and looked back at the boy, he was so motionless and so not Peter. The Peter that he knows would be talking to Shuri endlessly and badly remaking vemes or mines, or whatever they are interested in. But instead he is staring at the ceiling breathing in and breathing out on repeat.
"When this is over I'm going to create more safety features that Stark could use"
T'Challa looked at his sister and saw her staring at the boy, eyes glistening and brows furrowed. He nodded and looked back at the boy. He blinked, breathed in, breathed out, and repeated.
"When this is over I will assist the Avengers with taking down the Hydra organization whenever I can"
Shuri looked at her brother and saw pure determination on his face. Peter was close to them and whoever hurt Peter hurt them, hurt their family. They weren't going to get away with this.
"I know that this is strange to have everyone here like this in such short notice but now that we all know why we are here let's talk about how we got here and how it will proceed to go"
Tony shouted over the noise bringing in a silence with everyone's eyes. They all sat around the large table with somber faces. They didn't want to hear but they had to, they needed to know what happened so they could know how to approach.
"During a normal Hydra take down we gained intel that Hydra was looking at a new subject to recreate a super soldier, which turned out to be Peter. Peter was on his way home from school when he was injected with poison that made him go to Medbay in the early mornings.
Natasha, Steve, Bruce and myself were down with him before Hydra placed a type of gas in the air system that knocked everybody out and took him."
Tony's voice wavered at the end and everybody saw how heartbroken he was in that moment. Stephen then stood up and placed a hand on Tony's shoulder. Knowing that Tony couldn't continue with what needed to be spoken next Stephen decided to speak for the man with a light blush on his neck.
"Peter was in Hydra's clutches for 2 months, 3 weeks, and 4 days and in that time suffered many wounds and injuries. Within those injuries Hydra implanted many forms of technology in him including the ear implants that they use to control him. When we finally got wind of the ear implants we had to quickly remove them but was unsuccessful beating Hydra finish reprogramming him."
"Reprogram him how?" Carol furrowed her brows and saw how Natasha places a hand on top of Bucky's shoulder
"Hydra has a method of reprogramming a soldier, they shoot electricity straight to the limbic system that doesn't necessarily destroy the memories and emotions but it does fade them into barely nothing" Bucky gritted his teeth when explaining the technique making everyone nod numbly
"If they faded that we could gain them back fully then right?" Thor spoke with his axe in an iron grip, lighting trickling down his fingers
"We were on the road to that before they reprogrammed him again with the ear devices, after getting them out Hydra announced that they weren't going to give him up easily and are coming after him. With the information we got from the moles which turned out to be May Parker and Dr. Cho's assistant, Quentin Beck, we were able to get intel that Hydra made soldiers with Peter's radioactive blood samples."
Gasps were heard around the room and those who knew what the possibilities of what that could do to people went pale. Horrors came to their mind and those people wouldn't be people anymore.
"What do we do then?"
"We bring the fight here, between the force field and all of the warriors here we have a fighting chance"
Tony looked around the table, people who were willing to fight for his son were right here looking ready for the war. He glanced at Steve and saw an unreadable expression, he looked at Stephen and saw determination. They were going to save his son and they were going to end Hydra.
