Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

"Of course," Strucker waved his hand.

The large screen on the wall lit up.

In the video, Wanda is sitting in a white isolation room, holding a book in her hands.

She didn't appear to have been abused, just a little thin.

Pietro watched intently for a while, confirming that it was a live feed.

"She misses you dearly," Baron Strucker said with a smile. "I know you do too, don't you?"

"Give me the things, and you can go and reunite," Strucker gestured.

"Of course, here's what you wanted." Pietro tossed the lead box over.

Strucker caught it and eagerly opened the lead box.

The pure version of Compound No. 5, emitting a faint blue glow, lay quietly inside.

He gave Dr. Lister, who was standing next to him, a wink.

The doctor stepped forward, carefully took out the original solution, used an extremely fine dropper to take a sample, and placed it into a precision analyzer next to him.

"Drip—drip—drip—"

After a long wait of several seconds.

"The energy readings match." The Doctor turned, his eyes gleaming with fervor. "The molecular structure contains immense biological activity... Baron, it's the real deal!"

A fleeting glint of greed crossed Strucker's eyes.

"Very good, Son of Miracles." Strucker stood up, a satisfied smile on his face. "You have proven your worth. Now, go and reunite with your sister."

He pressed a button, and a side door next to him slid open.

She's on level B3.

Without hesitation, Pietro turned and left.

As he passed the table where the original solution was placed, his fingers twitched slightly, but he forced himself to stop.

The top priority now is to ensure Wanda's safety.

……

B3 floor, isolation room.

The access card was swiped, and the airtight door opened.

Wanda looked up.

When she saw the silver figure, her wary gaze instantly melted away.

"Pietro!"

She threw down the book and rushed over.

Pietro hugged his sister tightly, feeling her real body temperature. At that moment, all the adventures were worth it.

"Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?" Pietro asked anxiously, checking on Wanda.

"I'm fine. They just had me read books and do tests." Wanda shook her head, then looked at Pietro anxiously. "Are you alright over there? Did the Baron complete his mission?"

"Okay, it's done. Also, I'm here to take you away."

Pietro placed his hands on Wanda's shoulders, his eyes resolute.

"Where are we going?" Wanda asked, puzzled.

"Listen, Wanda. I've found a place. A home."

"There is dignity, freedom, and... a group of somewhat eccentric but reliable companions."

"We no longer need to hide in this underground place where we will never see the sun, nor do we need to be guinea pigs for these Nazis."

"We can live freely in the sunshine."

Wanda looked at her brother with some confusion: "Does such a place really exist?"

"Trust me, Wanda," Pietro said with a smile, "you'll love it there!"

Although Wanda didn't know what Pietro had gone through in the past year, she saw the light in her brother's eyes.

That light was one she had never seen before in Sokovia.

"I believe you." Wanda nodded.

"it is good."

Pietro breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, I need to retrieve something. It's... something I borrowed, and I have to return it."

Although Azu didn't say it, Pietro couldn't get over it if he didn't get the original solution back.

Moreover, leaving that thing in Hydra's hands would be a disaster.

"Wait here for me, two minutes."

Pietro kissed Wanda on the forehead.

"call out--!"

With a flash of silver light, the figure disappeared from the room.

Using his memory of the base's structure, he evaded the patrols and sneaked back into the laboratory.

The tube of blue stock solution was placed on the display stand in the center of the lab bench.

There was no one around.

so easy.

Pietro's mind was racing, but he had to take the gamble, partly because he was very confident in his speed.

He rushed over, grabbed the reagent in his hand, and wore a smug smile on his face.

"Ha, Baron. This thing is too valuable; let me keep it for you."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to start his high-speed departure.

"Buzz—!!!"

The gravitational field of the entire room suddenly became violently distorted.

Countless hexagonal energy nodes lit up on the floor.

Pietro felt as if his legs were filled with thousands of pounds of lead.

"what!"

He was caught by gravity at high speed and crashed to the ground, the liquid in his hand slipping out.

"Oh, oh, oh..."

A slow, deliberate male voice came from outside the door.

The laboratory door opened.

Strucker entered with a squad of soldiers.

"I knew it."

Strucker looked down at Pietro, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.

"You're a stray dog ​​raised on the streets; you can never be tamed."

He raised his hand and used some kind of magnetic device to pull the blue test tube that had fallen to the ground out.

"You think you're fast?"

Strucker walked up to Pietro, who was immobilized by the gravitational field, and looked down at him.

"This is an anti-gravity matrix, specially prepared for you."

"Let me go! You bastard!" Pietro struggled desperately, but he was unable to stand up.

"Originally, I wanted to make you a sharp blade for Hydra."

"But since you're not listening..." Strucker shook his head, his eyes turning cruel.

"...Then let's make you into a specimen. Your genes should be of great research value."

"Waaaaahh ...

Just then, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire castle.

"Sir! Intruders detected!"

Strucker's expression changed. He glanced at the trapped Pietro, then turned and hurriedly left with his men.

Pietro was left alone in the laboratory, desperately pounding the ground.

……

Twenty minutes ago.

Sokovia, the Hydra research base. A medieval castle built on a mountainside.

The howling wind drowned out the sound of the two figures landing.

Natasha and Patton, dressed in white snow camouflage, glided nimbly through the snow-covered forest.

"Two sentries, three o'clock," Patton said in a low voice, his compound bow already fully drawn.

"receive."

Natasha crouched low, using the snowdrifts as cover, and quickly approached.

"call out--"

A silenced arrow pierced the left sentry's throat precisely, without uttering a single scream.

At the same time, Natasha sprang up from the snow, wrapped her legs around the sentry's neck on the right, and twisted it forcefully.

"Click."

Two sentries fell to the ground.

The combination is perfect.

"Continue to move forward."

The two avoided the main patrol routes and sneaked into the castle through the ventilation ducts.

The interior design here is full of the industrial, cold, and hard feel characteristic of the World War II era.

Thick cables and flashing server indicator lights were everywhere.

"etc……"

As she passed a huge laboratory, Natasha suddenly stopped. She looked down through the bulletproof glass.

It was a huge prison area.

These are not ordinary prison cells, but individual transparent isolation pods.

Inside, a group of young people were being held.

Some were frantically slamming against the glass, their skin covered in scales;

Some huddled in corners, with tiny grains of sand floating around them; others rolled their eyes back and mumbled incomprehensible language.

"That's..." Barton frowned, "A superhuman?"

Natasha took out the decoder and attached it to the CNC console. A few seconds later, a file appeared on her wrist terminal.

As she looked at the files, her expression grew increasingly grim.

"Damn it..." Natasha cursed under her breath.

"What's wrong?"

“These…” Natasha pointed to the photos on the screen, “…are people on the S.H.I.E.L.D. ‘Avengers Expansion Program’ list.”

"What?"

"This was a secret project Fury started after seeing Walter's talent show." Natasha's voice was filled with anger. "He searched the world for people with superpower potential, put them on a watchlist, codenamed 'Secret Warriors.' Originally intended as reserves for the Avengers."
