H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

CHAPTER 1, PART 3: REUNITED AT LAST

The doctor sat down in a lonely dark room. Grant had said he was going to get the man who wanted to see him to come, and he had to wait a while. He eventually lied down on the bed, and was drifting into a sleep when he was abruptly awakened by Grant. "Here he is, you can see him."

An older man had smiled at Grant and walked into the room, turning on a dull lamp. The doctor looked at the older man, widened his eyes, and sat up in the bed almost immediately, putting back on his glasses. He could recognize the older man's face very well, as they've known each other for a very long time. He almost gasped as the room stayed silent, only the sound of footsteps outside of the door. "F-Father...?"

The older man smiled at him, and went over to the bed and sat down, taking him into his arms. The doctor was very surprised and had hugged him back, his mind though, was still confused and unaware of what was happening. "Jan-Miek, I've... missed you." He could hear a small sob from the older man, who had grasped him tighter than before.

The doctor could also feel his throat and cheeks swelling, as warm tears ran down his eyes. It was like forever, since they have seen each other. The doctor lay his head on the older man's shoulder, the both of them silently crying. The doctor would bawl, however, he didn't want to in front of his father, even though his father gave him comfort. "Father... where were you...?" He managed to ask, his voice was shaky.

The older man looked at him, and loosened his grip on the hug. Eventually, they stopped hugging and looked at each other in the face. "Me? I've been getting along with life. I went back to France, and to Belgium. Then, came back here for you." He smiled once more.

The doctor felt a rush of joy throughout his body, and felt the need to smile back at his father. His father returned the question, by asking, "And you? Where were you, and what are you doing now?"

The doctor tilted his head, thinking of an answer. "Well, ever since H.Y.D.R.A fell apart, I've been working in a hospital for a while, hanging with friends, and staying the heck away from S.H.I.E.L.D. So, did you ever find Liesa on your journey? You said you wanted to find her." The older man shook his head. The doctor's head lowered, but the older man placed his hand on the doctor's chin and forced his head up to face his.

"Hey, don't worry. We'll find her." The older man said, a small, unnoticed smile on his face. The doctor swallowed and nodded silently. Until a knock disturbed the silent room. The older man got up and answered it, seeing the face of a now acquaintance. Grant Ward. He was smiling at the older man, who stood still, silence was once again in the room. "What's wrong, Grant?"

"I see you guys are having fun in there. I need to see you for a second though." He said. The older man nodded and gave a signal that he was leaving, to his son. The doctor nodded and waved off. The two walked down a series of hallways, before stopping in front of a large room. It was filled with many boxes and people, and he could see another familiar face. The tall, brown-skinned, bald man walked up to the older doctor. Grant smiled and stood horizontally to the two. "Kebo, have you met Dr. Noordkamp?"

He shook his head and the older doctor kept his straight face, looking up at the man. "So, I'm guessing it's probably the same with you, doctor." The older doctor shook his head, before tilting it, still keeping his glare into the other man's. They both looked at each other, silence within the room. Before it was broken by Grant's laugh, "You two are like each other. Well, Kebo, this is a good doctor. His name is Jaap-Jan van der Noordkamp, so don't kill him okay? He's with us."

The doctor shot a look at Grant, who simply replied with a grin. "I'm... with you? I didn't say I joined H.Y.D.R.A." He responded, still looking into Grant's dark eyes.

"Well, I didn't say you were H.Y.D.R.A. I said you were one of us. I'm trying to say that you aren't S.H.I.E.L.D." Grant said, finalizing his answer. The older doctor nodded sarcastically, before shaking hands with the bald man. "Kebo, you can go now." Grant pointed to an area, in which, the bald man left to help the rest of his team unpack.

"Grant, you haven't told me-" The older doctor was cut off by a hand to his mouth from Grant, who was grinning widely. The older doctor felt a rush of confusion coming at him. It was unstoppable. He also felt the unbearable urge to try to bite Grant's hand off. But, he stopped himself, and tried to cope with what was ahead, which there was still silence between the two. "Shh... doctor. I'm gonna take you somewhere." Grant said, taking his hand of the older doctor's mouth. He sighed and went alongside Grant through a series of hallways.

Until they got to another large room. The room was a series of beds, all with white sheets, and it was empty. The older doctor squinted in confusion, taking off his glasses and cleaning them with his shirt. "What is this for?" He asked.

"This was a room I found. I think you could use it-"

"Could use it? Grant, I can use any safe room you give me to be something for taking care of patients. Don't underestimate me, please." The older doctor said, a devilish look almost in his eyes. Grant looked at the doctor, whom was scanning the room carefully. He sighed, before asking another question, "Did you check the beds, and the room for anything?"

Grant shook his head, and the doctor cocked his head to look at him. "You didn't? Then, I will. Be my guard, will you?" He said, grabbing Grant's hand and dragging him into the room. They stepped inside, only dust and what seemed to be hay, was found. It looked safe at first glance, but the doctor thought twice. "No, Grant, something's not right about this room. We need to lock it up, after we're finished." Grant only nodded.

Before the door shut and the room went dark. Grant grinned, although no one could see it. Before the doctor noticed anyone, Grant had already shot about five people down. The room was then brightened by large flood lights, that the doctor couldn't recall seeing. He placed a hand over his eyes, like a shield to the bright lights. Two men, dressed in all black, pointed their guns at the doctor. A dark-haired man appeared from behind them. "Well, hello again, doctor."

The doctor grinned.

H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

Madeline quickly ran through the hallways and skid to a halt at a large door with the words, 'MAIN LABORATORY'. She smiled and pushed open the doors, trying to look for a very familiar face to her. Out of all the boxes around the area, she managed to spot a dark-skinned, tall, and black-haired woman looking through something. At first sight, Madeline was confused, but she managed to make out the woman's appearance. "He~llo! Lia, I can see you~!"

The woman turned her head towards the door, before noticing Madeline and pushing away a few boxes for her to get through. "Hey, Maddie! How have you been doing? I've been fine so far."

"Lia~! Where did you go? I was looking for you all over town. Who asked you to come here? Grant?" She asked. Lia nodded. She ended up nodding as well.

"And you? It took you long enough to get here! I was so lonely, and then there was this, like, short doctor and he looked so familiar to Noordkamp. But I haven't seen him since."

"Oh, that was his father."

"Father!? That old man is still alive!? I thought Noordkamp said he was ninety!" Lia looked at Madeline, quite puzzled at the response, while Madeline shook her head.

"No, he's only about sixty really. Noordkamp says he looks younger than his age because he was a H.Y.D.R.A experiment. Sucks to be him, eh?" Lia nodded. The two went deeper into the lab, unpacking things and talking about Lia's short stay at the base. Eventually, someone knocked on the doors. Lia turned back, and went cautiously to them. She opened the doors to find a boy almost half her height standing at them, and looking up at her.

"Kuva? What are you doing here?" Lia said, startled by the boy's appearance. The boy frowned and hugged her.

"Lia, I'm H.Y.D.R.A too, you know."

"Yeah, but, I don't think you should be, really. You're too young, and you need education. H.Y.D.R.A will kill you before your time." She said. The boy shook his head.

"I'm getting my education-"

"I really doubt it." She said, the boy starting to slump on to her. Madeline walked over, and disagreed with her, "Actually I got his report card marks a few days ago. I think I forgot to tell you but he aced everything. Literally everything, Lia."

Lia looked over at Madeline as the boy straightened himself. The look in Lia's face was obviously distress and confusion, however, it also looked like anger. "Wow... and you never told me this 'till now."

Madeline smiled and the boy let go of Lia, while she shook her head. The three started to unpack the boxes and had small side conversations about the new building. Until, a loud bang was heard. The three turned around and looked around the room. There was nothing in it, yet it sounded like it was coming from the lab. Lia took the boy's hand and went over to the door, Madeline following. They slowly opened the door to find... nothing at all. The hallways looked normal; a still pale white look came from them. They started their way down the left side of the hallway, until they found the body of someone lying on the floor. Madeline was startled by the appearance of this young female, yet she felt so calm.

"I wonder who this is..." Lia muttered to herself, letting go of the boy and walking over to the body. She noticed a symbol on the girl's shirt, which looked awfully familiar. It was of a mechanical-like eagle, and it had words in a circle around it. "A S.H.I.E.L.D agent. Great. I bet Grant did this-"

"I don't do everything. Never knew the doc had a good aim." Grant's voice echoed from above them and they looked up, to find a hole in the ceiling and Grant standing above it. Madeline looked at Grant, puzzled about how they killed the girl, "And which doctor? And how did they kill her?"

He shrugged his shoulders and got out of the hole, landing directly beside the body. "The father doctor. I didn't know that he also has a reputation with dealing with people even I don't bother going near." He shook his head and signaled for the rest to come with him.

H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

The two boys walked briskly through the hallway. It wasn't too long, but they didn't want to be seen. One nudged the other and he looked at him. "Do you see them coming? Anywhere?" The other boy shook his head.

"We just need to find an old man, how hard can it be?" One complained. The other looked at him, before he stopped and pulled on the other's arm. The two looked cautiously, before continuing on. One nudged the other to go to one side, while the other goes to the next side. As one walked, heard the footsteps of another person. He turned to see who was behind him, but no one was there. Someone 'ought to be there, he thought, before continuing on. Before he knew it, the footsteps were louder and quicker, and he stopped and turned around once more. No one was there.

He was frightened now. He tip-toed through the aisle and kept looking through shelves to see if anyone was following him. Before he came to a dead end and turned around. A circle of people were surrounding him and he was confused on not hearing them at all. Knowing he was in danger, he whispered loudly, "Mangir A?"

"Mangir B~!" The other boy came leaping from the other aisle and landing on the ground, creating a blast of energy, throwing everyone but the other boy back. The other one went over to him and hugged him. "I sometimes wonder what I'd do without you."

"Nothing, because you won't be without me." The other responded, as the two laughed and climbed over to the next aisle.

"How are you doing on getting signals?" The curly haired man asked, the taller man still in the same position as he was about an hour ago. He looked at the shorter man and got out of the position before starting to speak using psychokinesis. "S.H.I.E.L.D's signals are very easy to pick up. They aren't as complex as I first thought they'd be. Kinda disappointing. H.Y.D.R.A on the other hand... their signals are very complex. Really hard to decode when they have many different signals being sent at the same time." The shorter man nodded.

"Well, do what you can to S.H.I.E.L.D. I'll figure out how you can get H.Y.D.R.A's signals. Also, did you get any transportation or base for either?" The curly haired man asked him. He nodded, "Yes, something for S.H.I.E.L.D. They call it the B.U.S. It's basically a large plane which is quite advanced to the point where people can live in it. It's the method of transportation for long-distance travel. And I found something else. Another organization inside S.H.I.E.L.D, the leader's name is Rosalind Price. She seems to guide the... A.T.C.U?"

The curly haired man looked oddly at him. The name of the organization sounded oddly familiar to him, and he twisted his face in thought and confusion. "The A.T.C.U is an inhuman containment organization. Why would S.H.I.E.L.D be affiliated with these people?" The taller man shrugged.

The curly haired man sighed. "I need someone who can fight and can pose as a double - no, triple agent."

The taller man shot a look at him and shook his head. "I cannot do that, I'm afraid. I'm a bad liar, I'll be honest." The curly haired man shook his head, "I won't use you. I can clearly tell you cannot fight and you're better off being the signaler. But, I would need your help tracking down Inhumans."

The taller man nodded. "I wouldn't mind doing that." The curly haired man smiled.

H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

Gvasalia poked his head outside of the door. It had been a while since he heard the door open and he started to worry. He closed the door gently and wandered out, looking around for any sign of people in the apartment. Nothnagel was asleep and he was cautious walking around the house. It looked almost as if no one at all was inside the house and it was only Nothnagel and him. Until he saw a familiar face lying on the sofa. The man was asleep, he looked broad, not chubby at all but rather slim, he had thin, golden blonde hair, and bags underneath his eyes. Gvasalia ruffled his hands through the man's hair, and he woke up. He looked up at Gvasalia and smiled. "Hey, Salia."

"Matthiassen? Since when did you come?" He asked. Matthiassen turned on his phone and looked at the time. Ten thirty-three. He widened his eyes in surprise and put his phone away. "About seven-and-a-half hours ago." He said, yawning alongside it.

"Three in the morning!? What were you doing so long that you need to come at three in the morning?" Gvasalia asked, both puzzled and startled. Matthiassen looked at him like he was stupid. "Dealing with a wife and one - no, two children is tiring. Spent the entire day and night at the hospital before driving her home and then getting here. How tired do you think I am right now?"

Gvasalia looked at him, happy but surprised. "Your wife had another child? You must be both happy and tired." Matthiassen nodded and rubbed his eyes.

"Well, at least her brother is going to drive her for a while. He says I must go get sleep until your fully rested. It's kinda a bummer, thinking about how she just had a child. Oh, and where is the others?" He asked. Gvasalia thought about it.

"The others... Jakob's in his room... Madeline, Tobi, and Kuva all left to find Noordkamp. I think they said something about him being endangered. They haven't come back yet. And Kimi probably went back to Finland. He said after he was finished his care he would anyways." Matthiassen nodded. They heard something coming from the other room, the room Nothnagel was sleeping in.

"I'll go check on him. You can keep sleeping." Gvasalia said, leaving Matthiassen's side. He nodded and laid his head back down on the sofa, slowly falling asleep again.

H.Y.D.R.A IS HIDING

Hey guys! Another part done for! This one (to compromise for the other) is relatively longer.

There is also a lot of important things that I'll help point out:

1) Lia didn't go missing. She went to H.Y.D.R.A.
2) Liesa is the nickname of an important person in the Noordkamps lives. Now you can figure it out.
3) The dark-haired man is also important in Jaap-Jan's life.
4) Rosalind Price is well-known by now if you watch it. Same with the A.T.C.U.
5) Mangir A, Mangir B is the appearance of someone who you know already.
6) Matthiassen has a wife and two children. Lucky him.
7) I wonder which Inhuman is the target of the two masterminds...hmm
8) Surprisingly, Noordkamp's father is good at fighting and shooting, which comes from when he was a younger father

And now you know more! Also, since Kimi has went back to Finland, don't expect to see him any time soon. And the body of the girl is not important, you can move along. A few characters re-introduced and a new character. I wonder what will happen next.

Until the next part!
