Chapitre 154: Found

"The situation is like this..." Sam quickly explained everything from beginning to end.

"You're saying that after they left, you went inside to check and found a secret room that you couldn't open, right?"

Coulson repeated Sam's words.

"That's right! Captain and Hawkeye must be trapped inside. I'm asking to join you in rescuing them. Captain Rogers is my friend!" Sam said seriously.

For Sam, this was an opportunity—a chance to join the Avengers and become Captain America's ally. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although his post-retirement life was peaceful and quiet, it wasn't what he wanted.

Afraid that Blake and the others might not take him seriously, Sam directly pulled out a stack of documents. They detailed his service in a secret unit—an elite special operations team equipped with advanced personal flight gear.

"Trust me, I can definitely help. But I need my gear back. It's locked behind three security doors and a twelve-inch steel wall at the National Security Agency headquarters in Middletown."

"Hey, Sam, I can help you get your gear. I absolutely believe you can help, but right now, you need to calm down. Since we know where the Captain is being held, we can save him first, right?"

As Blake spoke, he opened a portal directly to the museum.

The three of them immediately arrived at the museum entrance from the base.

"Can't you just open a portal directly to where they're being held?" Coulson asked, trying to gauge the extent of Blake's ability to control the Tesseract.

Blake gave him a faintly amused look but didn't expose Coulson's little scheme. Instead, he explained honestly, "I need a mental connection to the location—a clear idea of its coordinates, its general position, and the surrounding environment. At the very least, I need to know about the place. Understand? I haven't been in that secret room, nor do I even know how deep underground it is!"

As they talked, the three entered the museum. By now, it was already open, and they walked in openly.

Led by Sam, they headed straight to a break room near the entrance.

Inside, a few museum employees in uniforms were sitting. When they saw the three enter, especially Blake and Coulson, their expressions subtly changed.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, this is a staff-only area. If you wish to visit, please—"

Their expressions didn't escape the trio's notice. For Hydra operatives, Blake saw no need to be polite.

With a flick of his wrist, a burst of flames shot out.

Five thousand degrees Fahrenheit. To give context, during the Gulf War, the U.S. military used a thermobaric bomb that generated such heat, vaporizing over nine hundred people in just two seconds.

Since Blake's flames were controlled manually, the energy was even more concentrated, with minimal effect on the surroundings. But the two men in front of him were instantly vaporized. No chance to scream, no chance to run.

"Open the door! I don't want to repeat myself!"

Hydra's most terrifying aspect was its brainwashing-level control over its members. While the higher-ups reveled in power, the lower-level soldiers were truly unafraid of death.

Faced with Blake's threat, the remaining two exchanged a glance, shouted "Hail Hydra!" and drew their guns, charging at Blake.

With another casual flick of his hand, flames roared out once more.

"Blake!" Coulson shouted, but it was already too late.

"You should've left two alive. We need to get answers—this is Hydra we're dealing with!" Coulson said regretfully.

"Trust me, Coulson. S.H.I.E.L.D. has plenty of Hydra agents alive. Once we rescue the Captain, I'll take you to catch them one by one!"

Blake's smile at that moment sent a chill down Coulson's spine.

Plenty of Hydra agents in S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Coulson knew better than anyone how many secrets S.H.I.E.L.D. held—how many undisclosed weapons, mysterious artifacts, and hidden assets the organization possessed.

If what Blake said was true, that S.H.I.E.L.D. was crawling with Hydra agents… God…

While Coulson was lost in his chilling thoughts, Blake, following Sam's directions, forcefully broke open a hidden metal door embedded in the wall.

Beyond the door was a staircase descending deep underground.

"This museum tells people every day how Captain America defeated Hydra, yet right underneath it is a secret Hydra base. The irony is almost too much," Blake remarked as he led the way into the basement.

Perhaps because the employees upstairs were all Hydra operatives, no one had been stationed below to guard the area.

Captain America and Hawkeye were locked in two separate cells, secured by metal bars made from a special alloy. Their gear was carelessly thrown in a corner outside the cells.

The two men appeared to have just regained consciousness, or perhaps the sedative in their blood hadn't completely worn off yet. Both looked tired and lethargic.

"Gentlemen, judging by how sluggish you look, it's obvious you skipped breakfast. Couldn't you make things a bit easier for everyone?" Blake teased.

Hearing his voice, the two men's eyes widened in surprise and joy.

"Blake, Coulson… Sam, you're here too?" Captain America asked, curious about the unexpected trio.

"You should thank Sam properly, Captain. Without him, we wouldn't have found you two so quickly," Blake said as he drew his Tang Dao Sword and, with a few swift slashes, cut through the bars, freeing the pair.

"Blake! Hydra—I've discovered Hydra's presence!" the Captain exclaimed eagerly as soon as he was out.

"I know, Captain. I told you to leave Hydra to me and take that girl on a vacation, but what did you do? You left her alone on a boat. Well done, Captain!" Blake said in a sarcastic tone that made the Captain blush slightly.

As a diehard fan of Captain America, Coulson naturally stepped in to save his idol from embarrassment.

"Captain, you met a girl? That's fantastic! You'll have to let me treat you both to a meal sometime!"

"Let's save that for later," Blake interrupted, cutting off the unproductive conversation. He opened a portal and led the group back to the base.

"Blake, thank you! But now that Hydra has resurfaced, I can't just sit back and take a vacation. I need to deal with them myself!"

The Captain felt a bit guilty. His vacation had not only caused trouble but also dragged Hawkeye into danger. If not for Sam's timely discovery, who knows what might have happened?

"I understand, Captain," Blake said, patting him on the shoulder.

"If you're determined to take down Hydra, let's start by sorting through everything clearly. You take charge of the action plan. I'll gather everyone."

Chapitre 155: Fury-ous

Blake, Captain America, Tony, Natasha, Hawkeye, Banner, and even Thor, who was out on a date with Jane, were all brought back by Blake.

Of course, Falcon and Coulson, who had already retrieved their gear, weren't missing either.

Just as the eight of them had just gathered and Captain America was about to speak, Coulson received a call from Nick Fury.

"Nick was attacked, injured, and is now hiding in a secret safe house in Washington."

"Coulson, have him send over the address, and it'd be best if he sends a few photos of the room too!" Blake said to Coulson.

Without these, he wouldn't be able to accurately open a portal.

After Coulson made another call, Nick Fury quickly sent over the address and photos of both the inside and outside of the house.

Blake opened a portal and brought him over.

Without his usual combat pants, boots, and trench coat, Nick Fury, wearing jeans and a hoodie, looked a bit more approachable.

However, his left arm appeared weak, suggesting a serious injury.

"Nick!" Natasha, Hawkeye, and Coulson, who were closest to Nick Fury, quickly went up to support him.

"Left arm fracture, nothing too serious! I'll go get a splint and bandages!"

The group quickly bandaged Nick Fury's wound.

Only then did Nick Fury pull out a USB drive.

"This is the satellite launch document from the Lemuria, which was sent to me the day before Captain and Hawkeye were attacked. I tried to open it in my office, but I was told I didn't have the required permissions. Then, I found that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system had sealed the documents, and the authorizing officer was... me. Ha ha!"

Nick Fury chuckled bitterly.

It was ironic that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., an intelligence agency, didn't even know that his own system's authorization had been changed.

"I realized something big was wrong, so I immediately went to the World Security Council to find Pierce. I asked him to delay the Insight Program, and he agreed. Then, I was attacked."

"What is the Insight Program?" Captain America asked the key question.

"The Insight Program is..." Nick Fury took a deep breath and explained the entire plan.

This plan, known only to Blake and Nick Fury, was a complete mystery to everyone else present, including Coulson.

As Nick Fury explained it piece by piece, everyone was left shocked.

The plan involved launching satellites into the sky to lock onto individuals around the world, using their past actions and all available data to determine whether they posed a threat to the world.

If they did...

"Boom!"

Three sky mother ships in suborbital space would fire directly from over 35,000 meters above, targeting the individual.

"Is this what you call protection? Putting a gun over everyone's head across the world?"

Not just Captain America, everyone felt both angry and incredulous about this.

Especially Tony.

"I even provided technical support for the upgrade of your sky mother ships' engines. If this plan succeeds? My God, I swear, Fury, if you weren't injured right now, I'd punch you right on the nose."

"+1"

"+1"

"+1"

"+1"

"+What the hell!" Thor raised his hammer, ready to react.

"You've gone too far. The original intention of the Insight Program was to ensure the safety of the world, to eliminate threats in the cradle before they could grow. Who would have thought that there would be an undercover agent in S.H.I.E.L.D.!" 

Nick Fury blushed, and defended himself stubbornly.

"You don't know there is one, and you don't know if there isn't. Even if this plan were to run exactly as you imagined—eliminating threats before they grow, leading to world peace—then what?" Blake asked sharply.

"The next person in control, or those politicians, are you sure they won't modify the program because of their own selfish desires, or directly control the three sky mother ships to do things that benefit their own interests? Or are you certain that these three sky mother ships won't be taken over by terrorists one day in the future?"

"Exactly, the Insight Program must be terminated. At this point, it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. is not just infiltrated by a few undercover agents. Judging from the fact that you were attacked as soon as you left, it's likely that even Pierce, who sits at the top of the world's safest building, is part of Hydra."

"Hydra must be eradicated, but there is no need for S.H.I.E.L.D. to exist anymore. This time, we will solve all the problems at once!"

Captain America stood up and slammed his hand down firmly.

"Hey! S.H.I.E.L.D. is not the same as Hydra. We were just infiltrated!" 

Nick Fury looked at Blake and Tony, but seeing no support from them, he turned to Thor, who thought for a moment and then shook his head. Fury then looked at Natasha, Hawkeye, and his old subordinates.

Even Coulson firmly shook his head.

"Captain's right, Director!"

"It seems that I no longer have a say in this matter!" Nick Fury said, resigned.

"Trust me, Nick, you never had the final say!" Blake clapped Nick Fury on the shoulder.

---

Meanwhile, in Alexander Pierce's office.

The news had already reached here: the museum had been forcibly breached, and Captain America and Hawkeye had been taken.

The Avengers—this was a big problem. The only question was how much they knew at this point.

Alexander Pierce was considering ways to quickly restart the Insight Program.

Brock Rumlow knocked and entered.

"Our Winter Soldier couldn't find Nick Fury's whereabouts. Our intel is never wrong. He must have been rescued by someone, in some miraculous way!" 

Brock Rumlow gestured in the air, making it clear that Blake was the one behind it.

"Dammit! Nick Fury decrypted the satellite launch files in the system, then came to me asking to delay the Insight Program. He must have discovered something. No, the Insight Program must proceed. I'll summon all the committee members. Even if I have to use force, I'll get them to authorize it immediately. Pick a few teams and have Winter Soldier lead them. They'll raid the sky base and buy us some time."

Thinking of Blake made Alexander Pierce's head ache, especially after the Senate incident. That elusive ability was almost impossible to deal with. However, after their analysis, they believed that Blake's power must have significant limitations. He couldn't simply ignore distance or use it endlessly.

To them, this was likely a form of near-range space manipulation technology. If it could be used indefinitely, then during the Wakanda battle, they could have sent a nuclear bomb there from the start, and it wouldn't have been so difficult.
