Rosalind walked back to the group, "Banks will be here with the clone in an hour." "He has a name," Pietro growled. "I know," Rosalind replied calmly. Pietro glared at her.

The next hour passed slowly. Soon, Banks arrived with Maven. Maven was bruised and had a cut lip. Pietro glared at Rosalind. "You hurt Maven," he growled. Rosalind sighed, "I'm sorry."

"You hurt. My. Brother," Pietro stepped closer to her. "I'm sorry," Rosalind repeated. Pietro glared at her. "Pietro. I'm fine," Maven spoke up. Pietro hugged Maven tightly.

"How bad did they hurt you?" Pietro asked. "I'm fine," Maven assured him. Pietro nodded and hugged him again. Maven hugged back. Wanda soon joined the hug.

Maven was happy to be back with his family. Maven let himself be smothered by his siblings, he was just happy to be back. Rosalind and Banks left, and the Tower returned to normal.

It stayed like that for about a week; then all hell broke lose again.

Maven was confined to the Tower, not allowed out. He hated it. Maven hated being cooped up. He wanted to be free. So Maven snuck out. He didn't care if he was going to get in trouble.

Maven wandered around New York City. Maven never noticed the figures sneaking up on him. HYDRA had found the location of their construct and was hellbent on getting it back.

Maven was too well protected at the Avengers Tower, but now he was out and about. One of the HYDRA agents motioned to the other, who nodded. He quickly kicked Maven in the shin.

Maven went down on his knees. The second HYDRA agent grabbed him from behind. He was dragged into a car. The door was shut and Maven was taken off. A black bag was placed over his head as they drove.

Maven didn't know who it's that was taking him, but he sighed nonetheless. "Why is it always me?" He muttered. He was taken off to HYDRA. Maven had fallen asleep on the ride, and when he woke up he was in an unfamiliar place.

He was chained up, a screen in front of him. "Maven. Our Maven," a man said. Maven growled. "Welcome home," the man said, a HYDRA symbol looming in the background.

Maven hung his head, feeling hopeless. The man started the machine up. Maven was forced to stare at it. "Clear your mind," the man said, "Do what is best. What is best is that you comply."

Maven shook his head the best he could. "Compliance will be rewarded," the man said. Maven's mind went blank. "You are HYDRA. You are ours. You do as we say," the man said.

"I am HYDRA. I am yours. I do as you say," Maven repeated. "Good," the man smirked. He disconnected Maven from the machine. Maven stood and faced his master.

"I want you to take down the Avengers," his master commanded. Maven nodded blankly. He headed back to the Avengers Tower. Maven would do as his boss commanded.

"Maven. Where the hell were you?" Pietro demanded. "Out," Maven replied. "Out where?" Pietro asked. "Just out and about," Maven replied. Pietro frowned at him.

Maven smiled and walked away. He headed to the utility room. Maven knew the best way to shut down the Avengers was to shut down the Tower. And to do that, he had to mess up the electricity.

"What the hell are you doing?" Pietro asked, walking in. "None your business," Maven muttered. Pietro frowned as Maven suddenly spun around and ran at him.

Pietro narrowly dodged him. "What the hell are you doing, Maven?" Pietro demanded. "Taking you out," Maven replied, running at Pietro again. Pietro couldn't dodge this time, and was hit.

Pietro stumbled back from the punch. "Maven please don't do this!" Pietro shouted. "Maven. Please," Pietro begged. Maven shook his head at Pietro and grabbed a cloth from his belt, making a knot and shoving it into Pietro's mouth.

He then tied his wrists. Pietro whined softly. Maven tied his ankles. Maven propped Pietro up and continued on with his mission. "Mmph" Pietro tried speaking.

Maven ignored him. Pietro tried yelling "Maven!" though it came out as "Mmph" Maven continued to ignore him. "Maven!" He tried shouting again and again it just came out as "MMPH!"

Maven tightened the gag. "Mmph!" He yelled. Maven turned back to his work. He attached what he needed to and hit the button. Maven threw Pietro over his shoulders.

While Maven ran off with Pietro, the fuse boxes began to spark. Then, they exploded.
