But Bruce did not take notice of what Scarlet Witch was thinking. He was just saying the truth in his opinion.
“Did we, HYDRA, really do something great?” At this time, Scarlet Witch asked a question, which drew Bruce’s attention and turned his head.
Meanwhile, Quicksilver also came to Bruce’s side, wanting to hear his view.
Although the twins had never come into contact with the outside world, sometimes, they were still suspicious of what HYDRA was doing.
That was because HYDRA was too mysterious in front of them. Before that, they were controlled by HYDRA, so they didn’t think too much about it. But now, their doubts deepened.
And was HYDRA really worthy of their loyalty? These were the questions they started asking themselves. And after Bruce heard what they had said, he looked very solemn.
“Some things can’t be asked directly; As for whether the things they are doing are right or not, that depends on you and your own understanding. No one can give you an exact answer.”
After the twins heard Bruce’s words, they seemed to be deep in thought. Bruce on the other hand was extremely giddy, as by asking such a question they proved that they had begun to trust him.
It shouldn’t be much longer until the task to obtain the twin’s trust is completed.
They had been undergoing HYDRA’s brainwashing for so many years, but thankfully for Bruce, because of the Mind gem, they were at most slightly influenced.
This meant that they still had some room for redemption. Otherwise, they wouldn’t become Avengers in the future and all of Bruce’s efforts would have been for naught.
“Well, continue your training.”
Bruce ordered the twins to go and continue their training, putting puzzled looks on their faces by giving them such an order at this time. But regardless of their opinions, they were obedient enough to go away and do as they were told.
At this moment, a figure appeared behind Bruce, and surprisingly enough, it was HYDRA’s leader himself, Baron Strucker!.
He looked at Bruce and said, “Bruce, follow me.“ If it wasn’t important, Strucker wouldn’t come here to look for Bruce.
Yet while he knew this, Bruces’ face lit up and he flashed a weird smile at the current situation instead.
Afterwards, the two of them went inside the base together, and the look on Sturcker’s face revealed the gloomy nature of the situation.
Soon after, they came to a secret room, where almost all of HYDRA’s senior members were.
“According to the information we’ve obtained, the main body of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been disbanded, and Pierce’s identity has also been exposed, which he was killed for.”
Dr. List opened the Holographic projection equipment, and on it the most recent information was displayed.
After the HYDRA members heard those words, a trace of shock and panic appeared on their faces. .
“Pierce is an important figure we planted in S.H.I.E.L.D.. How could he die?”
“Damn it, it must be because he was too impatient and wanted to fight against Rogers.”
“Will our secret base be discovered?“
Everyone present was very nervous. This base they were at now was quite secret, and it would definitely be a big blow to them if the base was discovered.
“Mr. Bruce, what’s your opinion?” Baron Strucker looked at Bruce and wanted to seek his advice.
Although up to now, Bruce’s position in HYDRA had not been appointed, his strength was widely recognized among them.
“I don’t think Pierce will divulge where this base is, so there’s no need to worry. However, we can’t relax. Once they discover our location, they’ll summon the Avengers,” Bruce said slowly, which made all the people present strongly agree.
At present, HYDRA did not have the enough strength to fight against the Avengers head-on. But this was not Bruce’s problem. In fact, when Bruce saw the twins, HYDRA had already become useless to him as an organization.
But because he had to develop the plot of ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’, it was necessary to keep acting at least temporarily. But now that the present situation came to be, there was no need.
“How’s the current situation of the twin? Can they fight?” Dr. List asked. They were created by him and they were the trump card of HYDRA.
If the twins could come in handy now, alongside Bruce, they would still have enough power to resist when the Avengers made their move.
“They’re okay now, and there shouldn’t be any problem for them to fight against the Avengers.” Bruce spoke honestly, which let everyone release a sigh of relief.
This was the best news they could hope for, and also the only one they wanted to hear at the moment.
“Thank you for your hard work, Bruce. Once their training is completed, I will let you join the top management of the organization!” Strucker said. Although he still doubted Bruce, it was not the time for him to be creating internal strife.
Bruce smiled and didn’t say anything.
Subsequently, the top members of HYDRA continued to discuss how to deal with the Avengers who may possibly appear. But obviously, they no longer paid any more attention to it.
Because this secret base was too remote, ordinary agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would find it impossible to locate it.
During this time while they were discussing, Bruce walked out of the meeting room. He came to a quiet place and a big smile formed on his face.
The time had finally come for him to begin the plot of ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’.
Without any hesitation, Bruce walked over to a blind spot of the monitors and then activated his High-level movement ability, making his body immediately disappear on the spot.
With his current speed, no monitor in HYDRA was able to spot him, let alone recognize him.
Soon after, Bruce came to an empty room. His original room was completely isolated, without any signal.
Bruce shot out a little electricity and directly cut off the monitoring devices, whereafter he turned on the computer.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. had been almost disbanded, Bruce could still get in touch with Fury and Hill. After sending the address of this base to Fury, Bruce simply left this place.
In order not to be discovered by HYDRA’s people, Bruce deliberately used the power of thunder and lightning, slightly damaging their central system.
In the original plot of the movies, S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn’t manage to find HYDRA’s base, despite Fury arranging some agents to work towards that direction.
But now, Bruce simply gave them the location like that. And after doing that, he went back inside his room, simply waiting for a response from S.H.I.E.L.D.
At this time, in the Avenger Base, New York.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. had been disbanded, the Avenger Base was still there. Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkere, Hill and Nick Fury were all here.
They were discussing how to deal with the subsequent issues of HYDRA.
“I didn’t expect that HYDRA has infiltrated us so deeply,” said Nick Fury, he still had some lingering fears regarding that.
And no one replied, as this incident was truly too serious.
Their main issue was that they didn’t know where the secret base of HYDRA was. Otherwise, they would have taken action long ago.
“Beep, beep, beep!”
At this moment, a message alert sounded from the Holographic projection equipment.
The message they received was very simple, it was just the coordinates to a location with a title above it.
“HYDRA’s secret base!”
Everyone froze in place. Just now they were talking about this matter, and at this moment the location of the secret base of HYDRA had been directly sent here?
“We need to check it carefully,“ said Captain America. This was his natural character, cautious, and he was worried that this message was fake and possibly a trap.
“No, I would rather make the mistake than let it go!” Nick Fury hated HYDRA very much, moreover, the location sent here just now was highly consistent with the information their agents had gotten before.
They must not delay any longer. Fury looked back at Captain America and solemnly said, “Avengers, fall in!”
