"We have been traveling for three days." Eddie groaned as Rob and he sat around a fire. They had left the Outlaws three days ago and Rob still hadn't told him where they were going. Eddie had finally had enough and glared across the fire at Rob who was outside his armor. "Where are we going?"
"We will soon arrive at our destination." Orb explained, his eyes never leaving the flames.
"That didn't answer my question." Eddie growled.
"We are heading to Sokovia." Cortana appeared from a port on Rob's suit. "Robbie here has a plan cooking in his head." Cortana smiled towards Rob who finally looked up from the fire to send a light glare in Cortana's direction.
"Horrible nicknames aside," Rob sighed as he looked at Eddie, "I have a job for you once we get to Sokovia."
"What is it?" Eddie grinned at the prospect of doing something.
"I'll tell you once we arrive and set up a base of operations." Rob looked back towards the fire and a small smirk appeared on his face. "If everything is how I believe it is, then we are going to change the world."
"What do you mean?" Eddie asked.
"Ultron had a point Eddie." Rob sighed. "As much as I hate to admit it, Humans are too divided to really evolve." He glance up at Eddie and smiled reassuringly. "I don't plan to destroy the world though. I have a much better plan."
"Which is?"
"You will see. I just need information now. The plan is still in its infancy so is subject to change." Rob laid back and closed his eyes. "Rest Eddie because Venom is going to get a lot of exercise soon." Eddie nodded as he too prepared to sleep.
"Goodnight boys, sleep tight." Cortana chuckled as she went about her task that Rob had given her.
*Two days later*
"So where are we going now?" Wanda asked as everyone loaded bags into their jet.
"We are leaving for Wakanda." Steve grunted as he lifted a few bags into the jet. "I received a tip that the government learned we are staying here and are on their way now. Tony is too, along with everyone else."
"Where did they get a tip?" Wanda asked incredulously. "Nobody knows of this place."
"Nobody knows who sent it in. All they received are a bunch of pictures and an email stating the Winter soldier and the outlaw Avengers are located on a farm being housed by a family. They are coming for everyone." Steve sighed as the last of the bags were loaded up. "Come on we need to go."
Soon after the entire farm was empty and barren. The jet making quick progress towards Wakanda.
*Couple hours later*
"No one is here." Natasha stated as she walked up to Tony. All around then United Nation soldiers wandered about looking for any clues as to where everyone had gone. "Did Vision ever track down the source of our lead?"
"I'm about to go find out." Tony sighed as they both walked away.
*Back in the Avenger's headquarters*
"So what do you have for me Vision?" Tony asked as the team sat in the living room.
"Nothing." Vision stated. "It is like it appeared out of thin air. Whatever did this is extremely advanced and knows how to cover its tracks." Vision stared at Tony. "I believe it is Rob's A.I. Cortana."
"Why would he do that?" Rhody asked.
"He would never betray Wanda and he forgave Tony and Bucky. He proved that when he fought with us to stop Ultron." Natasha pointed out.
"Unless he didn't forgive us and just fought to stop Ultron." Tony mumbled. "Friday I need you to look for Rob and Venom right away. Find out where they are."
"Got it boss."
"Do you think we will find him?" Rhody asked.
"I hope so." Tony muttered.
*Wakanda a day later*
"Welcome, to my home." T'chala greeted everyone as the exited the quinjet on one of the palaces air pads.
"Thank you for doing this." Steve shook his hand.
"Anytime. I have a debt to repay and this seemed a good way to begin to pay it back." T'chala led them into the place. "Each of you will have your own set of rooms. Now I am sure you are all tired from your journey so please rest and when dinner comes round we will talk." T'chala turned to leave but Steve grabbed his arm.
"Someone sent in a tip to our location. Can you find out who sent it in?"
"I will see what I can do." Steve nodded his thanks as they followed a servant to their rooms.
After everyone was set up in their rooms they met in Steve's to discuss the current situation.
"So as we all know, somebody figured out where we lived and sent in the UN to capture us. Does anybody have a clue on who did it?" Everyone just shook their heads as Steve sighed.
"Do you think maybe Rob's A.I. could figure it out?" Wanda spoke up.
"Probably, but we have no idea where he went." Clint shrugged. "Unless you figured out that riddle he gave you."
"Riddle?" Steve looked over at Wanda.
"When he left, he left behind a note. And in that note he stated he would be where our stories began." Wanda explained.
"Since Wakanda is basically destroyed and filled with Tony's charity still helping. He would be discovered very quickly. His home town is also out of the question for obvious reasons." Clint sighed in annoyance. "We can't exactly look anywhere with too many cameras anyway or we risk getting caught."
"T'chala can send people out if necessary." Steve pointed out. Before anyone else could continue the conversation someone knocked on the door.
"Mr. Rogers, dinner is ready." A young woman's voice sounded.
"Thank you, don't worry about anyone else, they are in this room." Steve yelled back as everyone got up. "We can continue this at diner." A few minutes later and everyone was sitting around an extravagant table with wonderful looking food laid out before them.
"So, my friends what is it you plan on doing now?" T'chala asked. Seated at the head of the table, Steve sat to his left and Wanda his right.
"Well right now we need to focus on finding who leaked out our information as well as find Rob." Steve said, prompting Wanda to nod.
"I will be happy to provide any assistance you require. Now let's eat." T'chala clapped his hands and servants walked out serving drinks while everyone dug in.
*With Rob*
"So here we are." Rob smiled as they looked upon Sokovia from a nearby mountaintop.
"What is it you wanted me to do?" Eddie asked.
"Cortana here procured some very useful information these past couple days." Rob's smile turned into a smirk. "Sokovia is split in two. One half want things to return to normal while another half want to increase their military power so this never happens again. We will call the ones who want normalcy hippies and the ones who want military power Imperials." Eddie raised an eyebrow but didn't comment. "My long term plan is rather simple, unite the world under one banner. Any means necessary. My short term plan is to take over Sokovia. To do that we will have to stay out of the public eye."
"You mean set up a faux ruler." Eddie surmised.
"Correct. Now then Cortana has also procured the location of a man named Zemo." Eddie cocked his head in confusion. "He orchestrated the bombing at the UN when they were ratifying the accords." Eddie nodded in understanding. "The majority of Sokovians see him as a hero. Especially since the UN has denied compensation for Ultron's plot. The Un seems to think that little charity down there is enough."
"You want Zemo to run Sokovia? Won't the Avenger's and Outlaws come running once he escapes?" Eddie questioned.
"No, far from it. He will form a new terrorist organization, also under our control, to keep both parties busy. How he will get the men is up to him but for now it doesn't matter. Cortana, how much of Hydra's original base remains?"
"Not much, most of it was destroyed in the event and Tony had his robots take much of the remaining parts away. I can however use an old abandoned bunker in this very mountain to start making my own bots as well as researching weaponry." Cortana brought up a schematic of the bunker.
"What was the bunker for?" Rob asked.
"Built during the cold war. A bomb shelter basically. Abandoned and forgotten, perfect for our needs." Cortana smiled, proud of herself.
"Well we have our base, now we need to get the politicians on our side." Rob smirked again. "I assume you can contact them discreetly and provide enough motivation for the majority to support war, Cortana?"
"Leave it to me. They will be eating out of your hands by the end of the week." Cortana nodded before getting to work on blackmail and other such necessities.
"What shall I do?" Eddie asked again.
"You will go find us some new teammates. The two of us alone can't beat back the Avenger's or Outlaws. We need more people. Cortana has compiled a list of several interesting people. Find them and bring them back to me."
"On it." Eddie glanced at the list and noticed it had three names on it. Two males and one female. "Who will get Zemo?" He asked as he allowed his suit to engulf him.
"I will break him out." Rob stated. "Now get going, I'm going to look at our new home and set up a port for Cortana." Eddie nodded and started swinging away while Rob started towards the entrance of the bunker.
Sorry for the short chapter but it really is just an extended intro. Anyway Tony's team is in so long as they are going after Steve. Not a big part at all. Anyway I have big plans for Rob and Venom hope you all enjoyed. Leave a review and let me know what you think so far. Again sorry about the short chapters but they will be getting longer. I promise.
