-----Daniel Whitehall POV-----
Daniel Whitehall, the last remaining Hydra head, is still free and in hiding. Over the last decade, all the work done by HYDRA in centuries was simply destroyed by a mysterious group of people who came out of nowhere.
He knew these guys had all the intel about all their operations when they cleaned the entire SHIELD agency from their agents. When someone as powerful and politically stable as Alexander Pierce in the US was simply handled like a rookie agent, he knew things had taken a turn for worse.
He escaped with his followers and agents and went into hiding. The first thing he did was to make sure that talented researchers and doctors escape safely with him. He then shifted to a new base - Schoonebeek Oil Field and started forming his new team loyal to him and his ideas.
"Good afternoon Karl. What was so important that you called me directly?" He picked up the phone today when he got an urgent call from one of his followers Karlin Malus.
"Good news Sir Whitehall. Today I got my hands on two new specimens that survived exposure to high levels of our test chemicals. While one of them is in bad shape, the other, a young girl is more or less fine. She just needs some patch up work but that's it." Karl replied from another end.
"Wonderful! Wonderful news indeed Karl. Genetics is the key to our evolution. I had one such specimen in my early days which sadly I had to... throw away. Make sure you collect enough blood samples and DNA from both the specimen.
If my theory is correct, then there exists a branch of human beings that is fundamentally different from homo sapiens. They have the potential to be something bigger and better and all they need is a key to trigger that genetic evolution.
Keep me updated on the experiment and the chemical formula as you move ahead. Also, be low-key and hide in plain sight. Remember, we don't have an option to lose and once exposed, we will have no better endings than others."
Whitehall shared his thoughts and gave advice to Karl before cutting the call. He stood up and looked at a digital map. On the map, one can see a red dot on a location near Nepal.
"Who can imagine that you will still survive that operation. Have you built your own group of those special people?" Whitehall looked at the map and spoke to himself. He had been tracking Jiaying after one of the trackers he accidentally left in her, turned on last year.
--------Natasha POV-------
"Hello, we are looking for a girl who was sent here after an accident. The patient's name is Jessica Jones. Can you please check your records if she is here?"
I am currently inside the Metro-General Hospital which put Jessica Jone's record in their database. While Yelena and Matt had gone to check the crash site and check for possible clues, I wanted to check the girl directly.
"Well, she should be in ICU right now or in operation. You are her relative or something?" The girl at the reception replied while checking the patient list.
"FBI. I need to ask her about the accident. Now, where can I find her?" I showed her the fake badge uncle Fury gave us. This always works. Uncle Fury knows the best solutions.
A few minutes later, I am walking with a male nurse and checking possible bed numbers to ICU rooms but Jessica is missing.
"How can you let a 12-year-old girl disappear from your hospital? She should be dying as per your records and now she is missing? I will check your records and If I find something fishy, I promise you will spend the rest of your life in a small dark cell."
I shouted angrily at the staff and left the place. Shit. What kind of security is this for patients? Is this the first time or are they in the human smuggling or organ smuggling business? I will check this later.
"Hey Matt, no luck. The girl is gone. No idea who took her and when. No camera footage or anything. Anything on your side?" I called Matt and hoped he would have better luck than me.
"I found something. Martha caught an ambulance feed that went from this hospital half an hour ago but it somehow disappeared on the highway. Thing is, the route is near the docks. Martha told me, Dad still keeps the original factory in that area. I am thinking, if Dad can hide his factory there, maybe others can do the same."
Listening to Matt, I knew his hunch was right. No one will take a patient to docks for any other reason. This mission is not a simple one like I thought.
"Send me the location and you can go with Yelena. I will catch up." I told him and then went towards the parking. My sister loves her cars but for me, the best ride is on two wheels. I saw a nice Harley-Davidson parked there and somehow it feels this was meant for me.
------Tony Stark POV----
"What the F****? JARVIS did somebody just stole my bike?" I asked JARVIS after finding my bike missing from my spot. How the fu** is this possible!
"JARVIS hack into traffic cams and check where the hell is my bike. And send a message to happy to bring a ride for me. Fuck!"
Tony gave orders to JARVIS and feeling frustrated, he went back inside the hospital. He just came to check Obadiah who went through his heart surgery here but in less than half-hour, someone managed to steal his favourite bike!
Tony does not care about the bike but someone stole his property and he or she must pay the price.
