Chapitre 47: Night of Reckoning
Later that evening, the quiet hum of the night filled the air as Peggy and Steve exited Tony Stark's estate. The sky was a deep indigo, with stars faintly twinkling above, but the serene backdrop did little to ease the tension Peggy felt.
Walking beside her, Pepper kept a calm face, though it was clear she shared Peggy's concern. As they approached the car, Peggy paused, turning to Pepper with a thoughtful look.
"Please take care of him, Pepper," Peggy said softly, her eyes searching Pepper's for reassurance. "He's stubborn, but now more than ever, he needs people he can trust."
Pepper gave a firm nod. "Don't worry," she said with a steady voice. "I'll take care of him. I've been through worse with Tony, and I'm not leaving his side."
Peggy offered a grateful smile before stepping into the car, with Steve following close behind. As the engine purred to life and they pulled away from Tony's house, Peggy's thoughts seemed to drift elsewhere. She stared out of the window, her gaze fixed on the distant lights of the city.
After a few moments, Steve glanced at her from the driver's seat. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, sensing the weight of her silence.
Peggy sighed, withdrawing her gaze from the window to meet Steve's concerned expression. "He's trying to do something, Steve," she began, her voice soft but serious. "I don't know what it is, but he's worrying a lot about the future. Based on our conversation, I can tell that much."
Steve frowned thoughtfully, keeping his eyes on the road. "Don't worry, Peggy," he reassured her. "Pepper's by his side, and whatever Tony's planning, we'll support him. He's not alone."
Peggy nodded, her expression softening as she leaned back in her seat. "I know," she murmured. "I just hope he won't put himself in danger."
As the car drove further into the night, the Stark mansion became a distant speck behind them, but the weight of Tony's future hung in the air.

**Location: Inside the cave in snowy mountains.**
The chilling winds howled through the cave, but inside, Logan and Natasha stood amidst the aftermath of his battle.
Tom, Logan's Zeta, finished his task of teleporting the bodies of the Wendigos back to Whitehaven. Meanwhile, Natasha collected blood samples from the creatures for her mission, storing them carefully.
With his job done, Tom bid farewell and disappeared through a portal, leaving Logan and Natasha alone in the quiet, snow-covered cave.
Turning to Logan with a flirtatious smirk, Natasha raised an eyebrow. "So, Wolf boy, where do you plan our date?"
Logan grinned back, pulling her into a warm embrace. "Wherever you wish, Red." His eyes sparkled with mischief as he held her close.
Without warning, they teleported away, Logan's mastery of his Flying Thunder God technique allowing them to move without the need for marking any longer. They could go anywhere—places Logan had been before, or places he could see clearly in his mind.
-----------------------------------
Their first stop: Paris, France. The Eiffel Tower stood tall, shimmering against the evening sky. Natasha gasped as they appeared at the tower's base, surrounded by the glow of the city lights.
Logan smiled as they strolled along the Seine River, the beauty of the city enveloping them. Natasha leaned into him as they admired the view from the top of the tower, the world spread out beneath them.
"Always wanted to see this up close," Natasha said, her voice soft with awe.
"Glad I could bring you here," Logan replied with a wink.
--
From there, they teleported to Venice, Italy. The canals were bathed in moonlight, and Logan had arranged a private gondola ride for them.
As they glided through the quiet waterways, the sounds of water lapping against the gondola and the distant hum of the city filled the air.
Natasha reached over, holding his hand, her usual guarded demeanor softening in the romance of the moment.
---
Next stop: Kyoto, Japan, where the ancient temples stood serene amidst the cherry blossom trees.
The soft pink petals floated gently in the breeze as they wandered through the temple grounds.
Logan, having spent time in Japan before, shared stories of the samurai and the rich history of the land. Natasha listened, fascinated, as they sat under a blooming cherry blossom tree.
"I never thought I'd see this place like this," Natasha admitted.
"Thought you'd appreciate the quiet beauty," Logan said, his voice low and soothing.
---
Their journey didn't stop there. Logan took her to New York City, where they stood atop the Empire State Building, the city buzzing with life far below them.
The lights of Times Square flashed in the distance, and Natasha laughed as they watched the world race by beneath their feet.
---
In Cairo, Egypt, they marveled at the grandeur of the Pyramids of Giza, standing tall against the desert sky. The vast history of the place overwhelmed them both as they stood in awe before the ancient structures, and Natasha couldn't resist joking, "So, when's the last time you bought someone here?"
"You're the first one Red," Logan chuckled.
---
Their final stop: Sydney, Australia, where the iconic Opera House stood majestically against the harbor's backdrop.
They enjoyed a walk along the shore, the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks bringing a sense of calm after their whirlwind journey.
As they watched the sunset together, Natasha sighed contentedly. "That was... incredible."
Logan wrapped his arm around her, smiling. "Only the best for you, Red."
The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, as Logan and Natasha stood in silence, appreciating the perfect end to their date across the world.
-----------------------------------
The night air was crisp, the moon casting an eerie glow over the silent Hydra bases.
Within moments, the stillness would be broken by the storm of the Crimson Pack.
Sebastian, Hank, Benjamin, and Skye (Daisy) led their respective groups, moved to their respective targets.
Each member was prepared for the mission ahead—to eradicate Hydra from the face of the Earth. Years of intelligence gathering, training, and planning had led to this night, and there would be no turning back.
--------------------------------
Sebastian's Group:
Sebastian and his team approached a heavily fortified Hydra base nestled in the mountains of Eastern Europe. The towering gates and walls stood as a testament to Hydra's might, but it would not stand long.
As the group moved silently, Sebastian raised his hand, signaling for his team to stop. He closed his eyes, letting the werewolf instincts within him take over.
His body began to change. Muscles rippled beneath his skin, his frame enlarging as fur sprouted from his arms, chest, and face. His claws extended, sharper than any blade. His eyes burned with a fiery yellow glow, his transformation into his Werewolf hybrid form complete.
He snarled softly, the power coursing through him. His hybrid form was a blend of ferocity and control—humanoid but far more dangerous than any human could comprehend. His senses were heightened, able to detect even the faintest sound of movement within the base.
His team followed suit. As they transformed into their hybrid beta forms, a chorus of growls filled the night. With a simple nod from Sebastian, the attack began.
They moved swiftly, shadows in the night. The guards stationed around the perimeter barely had time to reach for their weapons before Sebastian's claws slashed through them.
The werewolf hybrid was a blur, slicing through his enemies with surgical precision. His claws tore through armor and flesh, leaving a trail of destruction behind him.
Inside the base, the resistance was stronger, but Sebastian's group was relentless. He moved with feral grace, his claws flashing in the dim light as he cut down Hydra soldiers. His pack followed closely behind, taking down any enemy in their path.
The final confrontation came in the control room. The base commander, a high-ranking Hydra officer, faced Sebastian with a look of fear in his eyes. With a snarl, Sebastian lunged forward, and in one swift motion, his claws ripped through the man's throat.
"Next target," he growled into the comms, already turning toward the next base.
--------------------------------
Hank's Group:
Hank's group was tasked with infiltrating a Hydra facility hidden deep within the forest. The air was thick with tension as they neared their target. Hank, with his strategic mind, had devised the perfect plan for the raid.
But now, it was time for brute force.
Hank took a deep breath and allowed his transformation to begin. His body bulged with muscle, his skin giving way to thick blue fur. His face elongated into a more primal beast form, resembling something out of myth. Hank's Beast form was as terrifying as it was powerful, a creature of intellect and raw strength combined. His eyes glowed yellow, and his claws extended, sharp and deadly.
With a roar that shook the trees, Hank led his team into battle. The guards stationed at the base's entrance didn't stand a chance.
Hank's sheer strength allowed him to tear through their defenses, ripping apart the steel doors as though they were paper. His team followed, their Beta forms agile and powerful, taking out any Hydra agent in their way.
Inside the base, Hank used his enhanced agility and strength to wreak havoc. He smashed through walls, leaving destruction in his wake.
Hydra soldiers fired at him, but their bullets bounced harmlessly off his thick fur and muscles. With one swipe of his massive claws, Hank sent enemies flying across the room.
They reached the heart of the base, where their target—a Hydra commander—waited. Hank wasted no time. He grabbed the man by the throat and lifted him off the ground with ease. With a final growl, Hank's claws pierced through the man's chest, ending his life instantly.
"Another base down, Emily. Moving to the next."
--------------------------------
Benjamin's Group:
Deep in the underground tunnels of another Hydra base, Benjamin led his team with unyielding determination. The base was well hidden, but no amount of concealment would save Hydra tonight.
The air was thick with anticipation as Benjamin prepared to unleash his true form.
His body began to expand, muscle and bone reshaping until he towered over his comrades. His fur, a dark and menacing brown, rippled as his transformation into his Werebear form completed.
His massive paws were armed with claws that could slice through stone, and his roar echoed through the tunnels, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies.
Benjamin's Werebear form was a force of nature. He charged forward, smashing through the base's defenses with sheer brute strength. His claws tore through steel doors, and his immense power crushed anything in his path.
Hydra soldiers attempted to fight back, but Benjamin's hide was nearly impenetrable, their bullets doing little more than annoying him.
As his team moved through the facility, they encountered several Hydra scientists and soldiers, but none could stand against the might of the Werebear.
Benjamin's claws shredded through the enemy like they were paper, leaving nothing but carnage in his wake.
They reached the inner sanctum of the base, where their target—a Hydra scientist responsible for twisted experiments—awaited. The man's terror was palpable as he watched the towering Werebear approach.
Benjamin snarled, lifting the scientist off the ground with one paw before slamming him against the wall. The man's pleas for mercy went unanswered as Benjamin's claws sliced through his torso, ending the sick experiments for good.
--------------------------------
Skye (Daisy)'s Group:
Skye, now fully in control of her newly awakened ability to control vibrations, led her group to one of Hydra's key communication hubs. Her transformation wasn't physical, but her powers made her just as dangerous as any other member of the Crimson Pack.
As they approached the base, Skye extended her hands, feeling the vibrations of the earth and air around her. With a flick of her wrist, the ground beneath the base cracked and trembled. Hydra's security systems faltered as the very foundation of the facility shook under Skye's command.
Her group moved swiftly, using the chaos she created to infiltrate the base. Skye sent focused blasts of vibrations at the Hydra soldiers, disarming them with pinpoint accuracy. The facility shook with each pulse of her powers, and Hydra's defenses crumbled.
In the command center, Skye found the communication officer trying to send out a distress signal. With one final blast, she destroyed the system and sent the officer flying across the room.
"Another base offline," she said into the comms, a satisfied smile on her face.
--------------------------------
**Location: Whitehaven, Monitoring Room**
Emily monitored the entire operation from the command center, her voice calm and steady over the comms. "Sebastian, your next base is 10 kilometers north. Hank, head south to intercept the Hydra convoy. Benjamin, reinforcements are coming from the west. Skye, prepare for the final strike."
Hydra was crumbling under the might of the Crimson Pack, and by the end of the night, their entire leadership was wiped out, their bases destroyed, and their soldiers slain.
Sebastian's voice came through the comms, his tone victorious. "Tonight, Hydra is no more. We'll wipe them from the face of the Earth."
Emily smiled. The Crimson Pack will change the world in a single night.
--------------------------------
The night was still, but Hydra's reign was on the verge of violent collapse. Across the globe, their key leaders—men who believed they were untouchable—were living their last moments without even realizing it.
Alexander Pierce sat comfortably in his luxurious office, reviewing his latest plans for global domination. He believed Hydra's security was impenetrable.
But what he didn't anticipate was that tonight, the Zetas would strike with precision, bypassing all of his defenses.
Without a sound, a small portal opened just inches away from his neck. Out of the darkness came a blade—swift, sharp, and deadly.
Before Pierce could react, his head was severed cleanly from his body. His eyes remained wide with shock as his lifeless body slumped forward, blood pooling on his desk.
The Zeta's portal closed as silently as it had appeared, leaving no trace of the assassin or the act.
--------------------------------
Across the world, Wolfgang von Strucker was overseeing his operations in a heavily fortified bunker.
Hydra's tactical genius, Strucker prided himself on being ahead of the curve, always anticipating every possible threat. But not this.
Just as he began issuing orders to his subordinates, a portal materialized beside his neck—silent as a shadow.
A blade shot out in a blur, slicing through his neck in one swift motion. His head tumbled to the floor as the Hydra soldiers stood frozen in horror, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
The Zeta's job was done, and the portal vanished, leaving the soldiers in a stunned silence.
In a remote Hydra compound, Baron Werner Reinhardt was hunched over his experiments, completely unaware of the death about to befall him.
He had been conducting horrific experiments on prisoners for years, his cold and calculated methods making him one of Hydra's most feared leaders.
But in the blink of an eye, a portal opened just beside his neck. The Zeta's blade was quick and clean, severing Reinhardt's head before he even had time to register the attack.
His lifeless body collapsed over his laboratory table, the last of his monstrous experiments cut short by the precise hand of a Zeta assassin.
In Hydra's financial headquarters, Thomas Kretschmann was finalizing a deal that would funnel millions into Hydra's secret operations. He had always been careful, meticulous in covering Hydra's tracks. Yet, all the money in the world couldn't protect him from what was coming.
A portal opened next to his neck, and a Zeta's blade swept out in a smooth arc. His head rolled off his shoulders, and his body slumped over his desk, the final transaction of his life left incomplete. The portal closed just as silently as it had appeared, erasing any evidence of the Zeta's presence.
One by one, Hydra's leaders fell.
Sebastian, Hank, Benjamin, and Skye led their respective teams, systematically wiping out Hydra's global operations. The Zetas worked in perfect coordination, each group striking with deadly accuracy.
Portals opened beside the necks of Hydra's highest-ranking members, their heads severed in an instant by the swift, skilled hands of the Zetas.
There was no time for panic, no time for alarms. By the time they realized what was happening, they were already dead.
In the Whitehaven command center, Emily monitored the operation, her voice calm and steady as she coordinated the teams. "Hydra leaders neutralized. Keep moving. Complete the mission."
Hydra had been decapitated, and by dawn, the world would wake to find their most dangerous enemy crippled, with no idea of who had struck them down.
As the Zetas returned through their portals to Whitehaven, Emily's voice echoed once more: "Mission complete. Hydra is finished."
The Hydra beast had been slain in the dark, its head severed in silence, with no witnesses to tell the tale.
