Chapter 2
1600 Hours HYDRA Operational Hideout Islamabad Pakistan
The house is dusty and dimly lit with old kerosene lanterns lighting the room. Maria Hill starts to wake up from being knocked out during the interrogation and sees Jemma Simmons laying on the ground bruised and bloodied just barely conscious. Fitz is then brought through the door and thrown down on the ground across the room from Jemma and herself. The HYDRA leader walks in and Hill immediately recognizes him as part of the special-forces team that had helped in Somalia and had been at the Triskelion but she realized he hadn't been there with them. She hears an evil laugh come out of his mouth "Welcome to my world, Agent Hill. We need you to cooperate or they will take the pain. But I expect to be able to have some fun with them since you are Fury's loyal bitch." "Fuck you traitor! I am not even with SHIELD anymore." Hill yells back at him. Limpiano chuckles. "Oh you misunderstand, I don't want SHIELD secrets, I want secrets from the Avengers." Hill looks at him with rage in her eyes. "I don't have any of those either, asshole." Limpiano smacks her across the face knocking to the ground which she hits hard since she couldn't brace herself due to being handcuffed. He then walks over to Simmons, picks her up and hangs her handcuffs from the ceiling so only the tips of her toes touch the ground, and he splashes water from his canteen on her face waking her up. "Wha…where am I?" She questions still dazed, "Hello beautiful, you're going to help us break Ms. Hill over there." He says and points to Hill. "Oh yeah, by the way which one of you three is going to take the bullet in the head?" He sinisterly says and gestures towards Fitz and a close protection SHIELD agent that had been with them. "Wake the bastards up." After he says this one of the HYDRA soldiers goes and kicks Fitz in the ribs, waking them up "What hell you bugger?" Fitz yells and then realizes where he is. He sees Jemma hanging by her wrists staring at him with tears in her eyes. "Ok I'll talk! Just let them go." Hill blurts out. "Thank you for your cooperation Hill." Limpiano says and the he quickly raises his pistol and fires three times into the escort agent and then shoots Fitz in the chest. "Nooooooo!" Jemma screams and starts sobbing uncontrollably. "He'll bleed out within about 4 hours a horrible way to die." He then looks to the rest of his team "Let's go" Limpiano says as he releases the lock holding Jemma up he then stomps on her leg making her be unable to walk, she screams as he does this. "You sadistic fucker!" Hill yells "Get used to it" Limpiano responds walking out of the room chuckling.
1900 hours, US Air Force C-130 preparing for drop over Islamabad Pakistan.
Fireteam cougar is loading magazines into their weapons with rounds in the chambers. Wilgus looks around at his men and sees Staff Sergeant Moon checking her M4 and grabbing a few grenades seeming a little distracted. "You ok, Destiny?" Wilgus asks his friend "I'm fine" she says to him. "It's about Limpiano isn't it?" She just glares at him. "Don't worry you get to choose what we do if we capture him, copy?" "Yes sir. Let's get this shit over with." The team puts on their oxygen masks and run off the ramp. The team pulls their chutes low enough to be barely detectable. They rally up near the old SHIELD station in Islamabad and move towards the objective. Cooper and Salbato move into a building about 200 yards from the objective to provide over watch. The rest of the team makes it to about 50 yards from the target and suddenly all hell breaks loose. "Contact front!" Bernsten yells as an lmg opens fir on the team. The team starts returning fire and moving to better positions. Straka makes a run to Wilgus but is hit a few feet away knocking him down. "Fuck!" Straka yells. Wilgus hears him and moves over to his friend grabbing his vest and dragging him to cover. Wilgus pulls out some bandages and treats Straka's leg. "You good?" Wilgus asks as her grabs his rifle and fires at the MG position. "Yeah, Im good he says as he fires at the enemy as well. Wilgus then signals to Moon, Straka, Hawkins, Bernsten and Helton to get ready to move to the objective. "Covering fire!" Wilgus yells over the radio and the group of six sprints towards and move into the objective building while the rest of the team holds the attention of the rest of the HYDRA tactical team.
After entering the building and moving to the 3rd floor, Wilgus spots a team of HYDRA troops move into a room and signals his team to move into the room next to it and then the Moon and Bernsten set C-4 on the wall and blow it the team breaches in and shoots two of the three enemies in the room. They notice the last enemy is Limpiano and Straka knocks him out and zipcuffs him. "Moon take that Fucker out to the rest of the team and report back" "Copy that" she responds. The rest of the group moves to a door and moves into the backroom of the base and sees the horrible scene left by Limpiano and his men. Wilgus runs up to Simmons "Get…to…Fitz" She manages to say weakly and then passes out. Straka and Bernsten move to Hill. "Get these cuffs off me" She tells them and grabs a TAR-21 off one of the dead HYDRA agents "Helton get in here now they need Medical attention ASAP." Wilgus yells, he then looks over and sees Fitz wounded and the teams protection agent dead on the ground and he moves over and shuts the young agent's eyes, "God speed, Soldier" He then moves and helps Simmons onto his right shoulder since her leg is broken. Hill stands up and grabs a TAR-21 and takes Simmons as Wilgus picks up Fitz and throws the unconscious man over his shoulders. The team then takes off running. "That fucker you have as prisoner shot Fitz." Hill tells Wilgus. "We have to get some intel out of him. Destiny gets the first shot at interrogation though." "Copy that." "Shit, guys get out of here" Hawkins yells as they see about five HYDRA agents come rushing through the door. "Come on Christian you can make it." "Negative on that sir, I'll meet you down there" Wilgus and the team move out and as they make it out to the rest of the team an explosion collapses the building. "Hawkins, Hawkins come in are you there..." Wilgus yells over the radio and hears nothing but static "….Fuck!" He moves out towards the rest of the team. The team then moves out to what had been a pretty tough battle. Gutierrez had been wounded so evac choppers are on the way. Roughly 5 minutes later the choppers arrive and extract the team to an airfield in Afghanistan.
