He hated coming here, the stench always seemed to overwhelm him and the screaming would never stop. Didn't they understand that screaming would do nothing to help them? That no matter how hard they scream, the pain will never go away.

But Ross ignored them and went to the room he was assigned to. When he entered officials were there with superiors next to them.

"I apologize greatly for the wait"

Ross immediately sat down and hoped that there were no repercussions. He may be one of the officials but he would be nothing compared to the superiors and if they felt like it, he could be conditioned like the rest.

"Agent 2601 delivered the message to the asset but was arrested and questioned by King T'challa and the Winter Soldier"

"It was to be expected, terminate agent"

"Understood"

Someone quietly left the room and another person stood up. One of the scientists who were working on the candidates.

"With the blood extracted from the asset we were able to obtain information on his genetic makeup. When Mary's spider bit him, his DNA was genetically altered and-"

"vai al punto dottore"

The scientist quickly nodded and placed a video up on the screen in front of them. In the video was a grotesque creature that was once human. Poor thing. Ross studied the creature and read the information on it.

The creature stood at a towering height of 9'6, could lift up to 800lbs and looked as if it was going to turn into a spider but stopped halfway. The back was hunched over so that his extra pair of limbs could help it walk. Some of the limbs never made it long enough to just flayed wildly by his side, its total of 4 arms were always chained along with its feet. The face, if you can call it that, was filled with little black dots all over its head that they called eyes.

"This is subject 3498, although the physical mutations were not expected, it imitates the asset's enhancements. The extra limbs for the extra strength and the extra eyes for the warning system"

"Do all of them look as hideous as this thing?"

"As of right now all of our candidates do not resemble our species like our asset"

"So that's a yes doctor, do not speak in riddles when a simple yes would suffice"

The scientist nodded his head quickly and no one missed the sweat that appeared on his forehead. The poor thing was terrified.

"How many more of those do we have?

"25 at the moment"

"What happened to the 15 of them, there were 40 of them no?"

"The radiation seemed to have overwhelmed their bodies, they didn't make it during the first 10 hours of transformation"

"Thank you doctor for your cooperation"

The scientist nodded his head in appreciation and left the room as quickly as he could. Ross didn't blame him, just being in this room made him want to shiver. Any time that he comes here is a chance that someone would find out. And he'd be damned if someone finds out.

"How were you able to enter the royal palace"

"Hydra has many agents all over the world, and once Wakanda revealed themselves to the public it was only a matter of time Hydra would place some here"

"What did you say to Peter"

The agent looked at Bucky and held a confused look. It was as if he didn't know who he was talking about. Of course, they would never refer to Peter as him because to Hydra he wasn't a person any more.

"Oh you mean the Asset?"

"Peter"

"I'm afraid I cannot release that information soldier"

There was a tense silence, T'challa never had the pleasure of dealing with Hydra. But now it was on his turf in his kingdom. There was a small beeping noise and the agent looked down as if he was regretful.

"I am sorry my king but I am doing what is best for Wakanda"

"How can you say that if Hydra wants to bring chaos and destruction into the world, and if what you're saying is correct then into Wakanda"

"Hydra just wants to unite the stronger species"

"And what happens if the species isn't as strong enough?"

"It'll be a sacrifice for the greater good, but with the help of the asset-"

"Peter"

"-the earth would be united as one great force"

"You want to commit multiple genocides"

"No I-"

"You want to harm the people of Wakanda"

"You harmed the people of Wakanda when you let the world know of us, you harmed Wakanda when you decided to take in criminals and assassins. I am sorry my king but it seems as if you don't have the best interests of Wakanda"

The agent then broke off a piece of his tooth and crunched down on it. Both T'challa and Bucky leaned over the table to take the poison out of his mouth but it was too late. Foam started to appear and he was gently placed on the floor.

"Hail Hydra"

"Peter you can trust us, just tell us what he said and we can protect you from Hydra"

We do not need help, Hydra will help us escape.

Hydra will punish us for a failed mission

"Come on Pete you can trust us"

Only trust Hydra, the Avengers lie

Who's the Avengers?

"I can't help if you don't talk to me"

WE do not NEED help from them!

But what the man said

Hydra is coming. What is wrong with that? We already established that that is a good thing

I don't want to go with Hydra, it hurts. They always hurt me. The Avengers don't hurt me

"Come on Pete tell me what is going on in that head of yours"

Do not tell them

Don't you dare!

Asset you will be severely punished!

I could save you just don't say anything…

ASSET!

"He told me that Hydra has a plan to get me out of here"

Hey guys a new chapter! Hope y'all enjoy

I used google translate so sorry if it isn't super accurate.

Next time- we'll delve further into Tony and Steve's relationship. maybe some ironstrange. And Hydra retaliates to draw some Avengers away.
