Remember that invisible plane thing in Long Island? Nope... Well, after the Howard mission, there was so much stuff to do that Phil also kinda forgot about it. Martha was only given the order "to notify Phil when it moves".
"Martha connect me to the Fury," I said while moving towards the operation room.
"Phil, any issues because everyone is loading the rest of the materials in Quinjets?" Fury asked in the earpiece.
"Nope. That is fine. I just got a hit by Martha about an invisible jet moving towards Oakland. It's going there now and it's fast!" I replied to him. I saw captain and Bucky talking to each other in the hall and I wave them to come to the operations room.
We entered and I saw Nicky sitting in his iconic long jacket and black eye patch. Now, that was the Fury I remembered. "Everyone, Martha found an invisible jet moving towards Oakland, California. Maybe that is the destination or just a small stop. I don't know but I do know that I do not possess such advanced materials or techniques to render a flying jet invisible. And no, it's not small-scaled by Pym particles or something but a normal-sized plane invisible and untraceable in any standard radar."
I gave them the news and just like me, everyone had worries on their face. Please, we have the top scientist here in this small group and we all understand what does it mean to create invisible shield or clothing materials. Imagine, if you could take this concept and apply it to clothes or cities or anything, and that just disappears. An enemy or a group of enemies just behind you but invisible. That is truly not a nice concept to imagine.
"What now, Phil? How are we going to track it if this is untraceable?" asked Steve.
"I am using something different to track but it won't last for long. The signal is only effective around the US and once they are out of our airspace, I can't track it." I told them honestly.
"I think instead of talking, the owl, the commander knight and the winter soldier should take three teams separately and follow this ship. Even if it is friendly, we need to know everything about it. In my experience, those who want to stay invisible are not really friendly anyway." Fury said in a heavy voice.
Well, I think we three got our first team mission. Ever since I injected myself with the serum I have been training with Hope, Steve and Bucky. They all have different fighting styles and I have picked up a few things.
Hope is expert in defence and has ruthless kicks. Steve fights like a boxer mostly but all his punches hurt and he is really great at giving surprise attacks. Bucky fights dirty, without any defence and sometimes use lethal moves unconsciously.
I am not the best fighter now and even among knights there are many who can beat me just based on their experience but I am not a weak rookie anymore.
"Let's go. I also don't think it is friendly. I just hope that it is a Hydra crazy scientist or something like that and not a hidden alien." I said while we three move out of the room and go towards the Qunijets. Three teams of knights came running and also got on the plane before it took off. We were behind the Quinjet by almost 20-30 minutes but it should not make a big difference.
Fury was talking to us at the same time in our earpieces. "This invisible plane just landed on top of a building which as per sources belongs to a group called "The Panthers!" They are a group of Afro-Americans who want rights for Black people with bullets and guns. Violent and extreme group of people but connected to someone or something that can make an invisible jet; I doubt."
Before listening to this key point, my initial guesses were - Rogue Predator from alien and predator movies or an alien from the MIB series. I mean there are several possibilities of other movies or characters from movies mixing but now things were clear.
Invisible jet moving towards a group called 'the panthers' which had ties with extreme black rights group. Isn't this the flashback of the Black Panther movie? I know what is going to happen there but how are we going to confront this Black Panther?
His son is a hero and part of the avengers but he is not. His policies and behaviours may be in line with Wakanda isolationist policies but they still don't intervene in anything even when Aliens attack earth. Clearly, this guy died while keeping Wakanda and its technology hidden from the rest of the world and he may never be friendly to us.
"Commander Roger and Bucky, I think we should be ready. I don't think this mission would be easy." I said in the group channel and started loading my weapons.
My suit has also been modified a lot. I removed the noisy jet and changed it to a more silent type. It did kill a lot of speed and thrust power but now we travel long distances in Quinjet so that is not important anymore. It is a good trade. Also, I gave up bulky weapons in exchange for small knives and pistols inspired by Bucky. I also added some improvements to my handguard and it can now shoot electric and poison darts among other small gadgets. This is like a batman thing but modified in my way.
Our quinjets finally managed to reach this location we tracked and all our team got off the plane. Me and Bucky moved from the top of the roof with our teams while Captain moved from the ground. We were trying to cover this building from various angles and have left few people near that invisible jet.
There were only a few guards or people on top floors which hardly took more than a few minutes to pass through. Just as we were crossing the third floor, we saw Steve being thrown out of the window on the ground floor.
----Steve POV----
I am on a mission to track this invisible jet and make contact with anyone or anything in it. The world has changed but I still have friends from the past now. Howard was unlucky but the bastard still survived and will move with us to this new location Phil has found. Dinosaurs? Sometimes thinking about how many wonders are hidden in this world makes me thankful I am still alive.
While I was thinking all this, we made contact with the ground. I took my team and we rushed towards the door of that building. Why rush towards the front door? Well, why not? I broke into it and found a guy in a strange black cat suit along with other black people in tribal type dresses and weapons. At least they are humans.
I would have tried to talk to him had it not been the dead body of a guy on the floor. He was bleeding and he will bleed out in minutes If nothing is done.
"I don't know who you are but that guy is dying. Let me just help him and we can talk." I told him clearly. I am not an enemy and no reason to treat me as such.
The guy in the suit looked at me and spoke "Don't get into the situation you have no idea about, soldier. The man dying here is my brother but he is also a man who betrayed his people and their secrets. That resulted in the death of a lot of innocent men and women. He deserves this punishment and you should not interfere in it."
I looked at this guy. I am not sure if this is true or not but look at the area. This is one of the poor communities as he can see and this man hardly has anything. If he betrayed his brother who has an invisible jet and these types of suits, then for what?
"I don't want to get into this, but right now this is a man possibly with family and is dying on the floor. I don't see any money or anything here that shows he betrayed his people because of his greed. Rest, you guys can talk it out or punish him but just let me stop this bleeding." I tried to calm this man and moved towards this dying man.
A knight from behind had just handed me some bandages and a freezing liquid, that Phil made recently to stop bleeding immediately. Before I could even reach this guy, the black cat rushed towards me. I had kept my attention to him and before he could reach me I defended myself with the shield.
It was a hard hit and I was thrown outside the window. Other Knights immediately open fire and we got into a group fight. I saw Phil and Bucky and other knights fighting with those tribal women and this black cat could take both Phil and Bucky together. Their team was trying to escape from the roof and now, our guys were chasing them.
I rushed back into the house and found that guy dead in a pool of blood. There was another injured black man now. He was part of the cat's team but now he was shot multiple times and was in his last breathing moments. I tried to talk to him but he passed away.
A boy of 10-12 years came running inside the house now. All those shooting and fighting didn't scare this boy and he looked at this 'N'Jobu' body and started crying.
Phil and Bucky came back. They had gotten some injuries and it was clear that the attacker ran off.
