H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

CHAPTER 1, PART 2: HALF-LIES

The doctor briskly walked out of the building, as his shift was over. He looked around him, checking to see if every S.H.I.E.L.D agent had actually left. He was frantically checking most hallways he walked through for this, as he wouldn't want to be caught. He knew well enough that S.H.I.E.L.D wasn't merciful enough for someone as vulnerable as him to be caught. He continued to briskly walk out into the parking lot, which had only vehicles of the night shift workers of the hospital. He got out his keys of his car, walking towards it, and looked around him. The night air was quite bitter tonight, and he wanted to get inside as quick as he could.

He opened his car door, and got in, placing a lot of his things in the passenger seat beside him. He switched gears from park to reverse, and was getting out when a woman ran over to his car at such a rate that he slammed on the brakes, and took a deep breath. She slammed on the window, most likely the back window, of his car and was tapping everywhere he could think of. He turned to look at the woman from his back window, and quickly noticed who she was. A female employer, by the name of Shirley Porter, who worked in his sector. He rolled down the window and the frightened woman came running down.

"Jan! Jan! When, when you..." She started, trying to catch her breath from running so far. He looked up at her, and put his head out the window a little. "Shirley, what's wrong?"

"T-These people! They were armed with guns and stuff, they came and was threatening others and... and almost shot a few! They wanted to know where Luborad was." She continued, the doctor gasping. This has to be S.H.I.E.L.D, who else would nearly kill a bunch to get what they want, he thought, puzzled and surprised.

"And, and you need to run! They were coming for you as well!" She said, stopping once more to catch his breath. He shut off his car and took a large bag out of the passenger seat. The employer watched him as he got out of the car, opened his bag, and took out a large switchblade, placing it in his front pocket. She frowned at him when she saw he had the blade.

"A blade? Kinda odd for you, Jan." She grinned slightly, the doctor giggling. "I only have the blade to use for a very sticky situation. By the way, it's called a 'self-defense tool', if you need any help." He cocked a smirk. She shrugged, but then brought up the question, "Why are you going by foot?"

"It'll actually be harder for them to catch me. Though I am quite like a snail, going through forests will force them to split, making it a whole lot easier to control the enemy, and manipulate many things. Plus, I can throw them off track." He said, placing his bag onto his shoulders, and started heading for the forest to the north.

"And Jan!"-she started. He looked back at her.-"Please, don't get yourself killed out there. The hospital will be in ruins without you and Luborad, okay?" The doctor smiled and nodded, before starting, once again, to make his way to the forest.

H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

The dark-haired man briskly strode across the hallway, accompanied by a man with a doctor's coat. The man was dark-haired like him, only that grey hairs were visible. The man looked clearly older, wrinkles were on parts of his face, which still seemed to retain its youth alongside the signs of aging. He was tall, and had a petite body, much less charismatic than the man beside him. They both walked down the hallway, the older man holding a notebook and a pen. "So, did you say you wanted to join H.Y.D.R.A?"

The older man groaned, with a sigh of anger afterwards. "For the fifth time, Grant. I don't want to join H.Y.D.R.A. But, I'd like you to find my son, who'd obviously love to rejoin after the destruction." The younger man laughed.

"Re-join? He could of from before. I may still need to know who your son is, exactly." He said, stopping in his tracks along with the older man, in front of an exit door. "You know my son. You know me. Call me if you find him."

The older man handed him the notebook and the pen, and left. The younger man looked at the name of the owner of the notebook, which was written in a messy, rushed handwriting. He read the name and looked up at the door, smirking to himself. "Man, and to think he died along with the other ten. I was wrong to say that, Jaap-Jan."

H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

Madeline woke up in the bed of someone else. A young boy sat down on the edge of the bed, looking through, what seemed to be, her phone. Startled by the boy's sudden appearance, she quickly sat up in her bed. "K-Kuva! What are you doing here!?"

The boy looked at her, brushing away his bangs from his line of sight. "Looking after you. Kind of. Well, Jakob told me to stay here until you felt better. Do you feel fine?" He asked her, a furious frown appearing quickly on her face.

"No! One, you scared the living shit out of me! And two, you're on my phone!" She yelled. The boy cracked a smile, and passed her the phone. "Maddie, your phone password is too easy. Gotta change it." She frowned and snatched the phone up from the bed.

"Did you see anything?" She asked. The boy shook his head. "Are you sure Kuva? I don't trust you after what you just said."

He smiled and tilted his head, before climbing off of the bed and walking out of the room. She rubbed her eyes, then put her glasses on and got out of bed. Opening the door, she covered her eyes from the overhead lights which seemed brighter than the sun. She looked around for someone, but only found Tobias sitting upright on the couch. "Tobi, have you seen Jakob? Wanted to ask him something."

Tobias looked back at her, brushing the left side of his bangs behind his ears and nodded his head. "Yeah, but he wasn't doing well. He took a bad beating alongside a nearly fatal blow to the head. Salia is taking care of him. Have you seen the doc? Should of been home now." She shook her head.

"Is he in bed?" She asked. He nodded, "In bed and in blue. He looks like a dying person, almost as if the Chini woman whipped his arse again. Really."

She grinned and shook her head. He let out a short burst of laughter, before going back to watching TV and silence. She went to the kitchen, before she received an odd text from the doctor.

Noordkamp: Madeline, would you mind to tell the others that I'm not coming. I probably won't be for the next few days, maybe weeks as of now. I don't know yet.

She read the text as an indicator something is wrong. Terribly wrong. "Umm, Tobias, can you come here? I think I may know where the doctor is."

Tobias made his way over to the kitchen and she showed him the text. He widened his eyes, and scratched his head. "Oh gee. The doc has gotten himself into something, real bad. What do you think he did now?"

"Nothing. I think S.H.I.E.L.D is after him for answers. And, I think he knows something." She responded, still staring at the message on her phone. The long-haired man looked anxiously at her. "Oh god. The doc... must be running for his life..."

"And we are going to get him." She announced gleefully. Tobias looked cautiously into the woman's face. "Us two are going to get him? Madeline, there must be half-a-dozen or more agents chasing him down! If we go in, it's just a death wish right there! Especially the fact that the doc has too much of an important value to us that if we lose him, we are done for. And, one-and-a-half isn't gonna do against six plus!"

"Then we bring Kuva along. He can really change the game. I'm the brains, you're the fists, and Kuva's the tiebreaker. We can go now." She said, basically ignoring most of what was said to her by Tobias. Kuva had walked into the kitchen, as he heard his name be said. "Maddie, did you say something?"

"Yeah, you're coming with us to find the doctor." She said, taking the boy by the arm, and Tobias trailing behind. "What happened to Noordkamp?" The boy asked.

"He's in trouble. I'm thinking S.H.I.E.L.D wants something he knows. You'll be useful, come on!" She said, walking to the door. Before realizing something and knocking on Jakob's bedroom door. Gvasalia had answered it and poked his head out. "Sali, we are out, okay? We are going to find the doctor and get him back before S.H.I.E.L.D rapes him. I hope we'll be back, okay? Bye."

Gvasalia nodded and waved the trio off, as they left for the doctor.

H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

A tall dark-haired man walked down the hallway, quite straight-faced. He was an almost 6`1 man, with a caramel skim complexion and dark, curly, short cut hair. It looked almost like the fur of a dog, which was wet and kept untidy. He was wearing a dark sweater over a plain white short-sleeved shirt and straight jeans. He walked down the short hall and into a room, almost welcoming. He looked at the man sitting in the chair, his arms and legs tied to it. The man had only gave a dirty look to him, as he smirked quietly. "Well, well, see you're in a bit there."

The man tied to the chair started to struggle trying to get out of it, and his glare back at the man looked as if he were to pounce on him if he ever got out. The man only walked closer and grinned. "You don't need to worry, Silvain. Your sister won't be coming for you."

At that moment, the man in the chair had froze. His glare had become more of an anxious, surprised look, and he stayed silent. The room was as silent as the night, with only the breathing of the man in the chair, who now slumped over at the last phrase. Thoughts ran through his head like a bullet. The caramel-skinned man smirked, starting to walk around the man in the chair. "She doesn't know where you are. And, we've kept some good eye on any psychic signals you may have sent. You're stuck here, might as well give us what we want."

He frowned, finally starting to speak to him using psychokinesis, "What do you want anyways?", he asked. The other man cocked an eyebrow and continued to walk around him. "What do we want, you say? We want you."

Those words made the man in the chair widen his eyes in confusion. "You... want me? As in, you want me to join, or something else?", the man asked another few questions. The other man finally broke and started to laugh. "You should know what I mean. As in you! Joining isn't anything, we want you to help us with something before we hand you back to your sister."

The man's face enlightened at the sound of being reunited with his sister. However, that was only if he helped them. He slumped a little, before asking another question, "What do you want help with?"

"I want you to track the satellite signals of both S.H.I.E.L.D and H.Y.D.R.A. Find out where their bases are, and whether or not they have transportation. If they do, then track those signals as well. Can you do that?" The other man asked Silvain. He stared at the floor for a bit, before nodding his head. "I'll try at least. This seems easy with the amount of AI and technology the two teams use."

The man untied the man in the chair and helped him up. "Well, thanks Silvain. My name is Luis. Follow me."

H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

The sound of rustling trees and leaves were carved into the doctor's mind. To him, it felt like forever he was walking in this forest. Almost like the forest was getting longer as he walked slowly through it. He hadn't found a single trace that S.H.I.E.L.D was after him, yet he still felt the rush as if they were. He had thought about turning back a few times, however, he usually thought twice and decided he wouldn't. He kept walking, and looking around for any flashlight signs. After doing this for almost five more minutes, he saw a flashlight. He could hear a voice, quite familiar to him, however, he couldn't make out who it was or what they were saying. He climbed one of the trees, leaving his back by the trunk.

He looked down to see a women with curly blonde hair holding the flashlight, a boy-like figure who stood to the right of her, and a long-haired blonde man to the left of her. Noticing it was only Madeline, Tobias, and Kuvayev, he got out of the tree. "Well, nice to see you guys came for me."

Madeline nodded and ran over to hug him, Kuvayev and Tobias following. "Doc, what happened?" Madeline asked.

The doctor got out of his hugs, and took his bag, "An attack on my sector from someone. I had presumed it was S.H.I.E.L.D, as one of my colleagues came running over to tell me that these people wanted a friend of mine and me."

"Don't tell me - it's Czerniawski again, right? You said he was H.Y.D.R.A." Tobias broke in, while the doctor nodded silently and started to mutter to himself as they walked, like snails, through the forest in the opposite direction they were walking in before. Until, the doctor felt a strong hand on his shoulder and cocked his head back almost immediately. Standing there was a tall man, he was bald, broad, and brown-skinned. You could see veins sticking out of his shiny head. All of them turned back to look at him. "Well, convenient finding you and your friends, Noordkamp."

Still frightened at the man's appearance, another figure appeared from the shadows. He was a very familiar face to the doctor, and vise versa. "Well, hello Jan-Miek. Nice seeing you around."

The doctor could only let out a giggle, and said, "Well, fancy seeing you here Grant." The two smiled, alongside Madeline, Kuvayev, and Tobias.

"So, Grant, who is this guy?" The doctor asked, pointing up towards the man who had let his shoulder go. "Oh, him. I call him Kebo. He's nice if you know him. He won't hurt you. And, Madeline, you haven't changed one bit. Haven't even grown a centimeter. Kinda looks like you shrank, from where I'm standing. Zinoviy, you look almost twice your size from when I last saw you. And, Tobi, your hair is kind of bothering me now."

They all smiled and exchanged greetings with Grant. The doctor soon brought up a question, "So, umm, Grant, why are you here again?"

"Oh, to bring you back to H.Y.D.R.A. Someone wants to see you again." He said, before remembering about the other three. "And you guys should come too. Can help me rebuild H.Y.D.R.A." They smiled and all of them followed.

H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

Hey guys! Second part done! Now this is a shorter chapter compared to the other ones, but it explains a lot:

1) Actually, surprisingly, it wasn't S.H.I.E.L.D going after them, it was their best friend. I'll let you guess who it is.
2) You have the appearance of someone named Jaap-Jan. I think using the names and the way he puts it you can figure out what relation he has to the story.
3) Luis and Silvain, they are a part of a separate organization. An Inhuman one too.
4) Gvasalia is training to be a doctor, however, he is also useful in the field like Noordkamp.
5) S.H.I.E.L.D had beat up Jakob before capturing him. Probably the Chini woman did that.
6) Where is Czerniawski? Well, if Ward's allowed to leave as he is the new director then you can guess where he is.
7) Grant is Grant Ward, Ex. S.H.I.E.L.D agent, H.Y.D.R.A director

And now you know everything up to date. However, remember the Earthquake girl from the flashback. Yup, she is important and you can infer why she was there. Where are the two Preobrazhensky brothers? Don't worry, they're somewhere. And where is Lia, Matthiassen, and Kimi? They are somewhere as well. Oh, Shirley Porter is pretty important, but not a main character, so you can pay her no mind, it's okay.

Whelp. Here is this part, so until the next part!
