In the Underground Hanger
“I must say you have proven yourself to be painfully resourceful. Things were going to be so much easier when I was going to use the darkforce zone as a dumping ground your filth.”
“I’m happy to disappoint you. I know you’re not the scientific genius behind this operation, who is it Zola?”
“Do you mind if I find myself a weapon since you have your shield?” The Red Skull walks down the corridor to the wide open hanger area. Inside is a small one man craft much like an Avenger Quinjet. Cap follows him as he approaches the craft, poised to respond. The Skull opens a small compartment on the side and pulls out a large cane with a silver skull on top. “Not exactly what I want, but it will have to do.”
“You still haven’t answered my question.”
“Nor do I intend to,” Skull says. He takes a quick jab at Cap’s ribcage with the staff but Steve easily dances back out of his reach. “It has been a long time since we’ve done this hasn’t it.”
“What about those supped up c-listers you sent after me in Plainfield?”
“A failed experiment, nothing more.” The Skull tries a quick five strike combo which Cap deflects easily with his shield. “Hydra scientists came up with an agent not unlike the terrigen mists that could awaken latent mutant properties in normal humans. Unfortunately it had some rather unpleasant side effects for many we tested it on.”
“More blood on your hands I’m sure.”
“That is you weakness dear brother, your unfailing belief that everyone can change. If you had mearly killed me years ago how many lives could you have saved?”
Now it is Cap’s turn to go on the offensive. He swings his shield high before dropping down and trying a leg sweep. The Red Skull jumps over the sweep and brings his cane down Just above Cap’s shield. He presses the small button located near end of the cane. An arc of electrical current jumps out of the end of the cane and strikes Steve in the chest.
“I never said I would play fair…”
Elsewhere
Dr. Kailius continues to load the samples into his large steel suitcase. Things were going entirely wrong and he wasn’t going to ride things out till the end. There was a chance that the army of super clones could conceivably defeat the heroes that they were about to face. But his master was quite clear and he is not about to take any risks.
“What are you doing in here,” a voice asks. Kailius turns to see a a guard standing in the doorway. After a quick assessment the man levels his submachine gun at the scientist. “Ok you’re going to have to come with me.”
“I don’t think you could possibly understand the gravity of the situation. These samples must be safely gotten out of here.”
“I don’t think you’re the one to be making that decision. Now just come with me…” The man never finishes his sentence as a blade bursts through his chest. The man’s let’s out a strangled cry as blood bubbles on his lips. He slides lifelessly to the floor.
“I was sent to retrieve you.” The man in the door is dressed from head to toe in black including a mask that has black goggles. He wipes his blade on the fallen guards clothing before returning it to the scabbard on his back. “Please hurry, we must be going.”
“I realize that,” Kailius replies angrily. He continues to go through the samples in the freezer, adding more to the growing stockpile in the case. After finishing his search, Kailius carefully packs them and closes the case. “I am ready now.”
The two men step out into the hall and Kailius gasps. Dead bodies litter the floor and the assassin steps over them as if they aren’t even there…
