A completely enclosed space, a dark cell. A girl wearing a white prison uniform sat in the dark corner of the cell with her knees in her arms, her little head shaking and dozing.
Her name is Wanda Maximoff, the future Scarlet Witch and a member of the Avengers, the world's most powerful alliance of heroes.
But now she is obviously not. Now she is just an ordinary girl who lost her relatives and her home in the disaster. She has abilities that are slightly different from ordinary people, but her abilities are limited, and she is not yet able to use them freely.
If losing her family was the most painful experience in her life, then being imprisoned in Baron Strucker's base was undoubtedly the darkest period.
She couldn't remember how long such days lasted, but she felt as if she had a whole life. Every day's life was boring and cruel high-intensity training, the food was bad, the rest time was pitiful, and the prison conditions were terrible. Cruel.
The training almost drained her of her daily energy, and the long-term lack of rest caused her to be in a trance. She looked like a red panda with dark circles under her eyes all day long.
Such days were like the prison she was in, dark, painful, with no end in sight, like a long night without dawn.
until today.
At first there was a burst of shouting and noise coming from outside the door, but it did not attract the attention of the dazed little girl.
Until the prison door was blasted open from the outside with a muffled "bang" sound, and the door panel hit the floor heavily, stirring up flying dust.
The white light from the corridor spilled into the dark room, blinding the girl for a moment. She could only vaguely see the outline of someone standing at the door, and his figure seemed to be swallowed up by the white light, leaving only
An abstract silhouette of her.
The naked eye couldn't capture it, but Wanda's innate superpower helped her vaguely "see" something. What she felt from the body of the man outside the door was so powerful that it was indescribable, and at the same time it made her feel warm to the bottom of her heart.
of light.
It's like the dawn that ends the long night.
But the man only stayed at the door for a few seconds, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"wait wait wait."
The girl called him out almost instinctively with a breathy voice.
The man actually stopped, and the silhouette was on the verge of disappearing into the light in Wanda's sight.
"Who are you?" she asked in a daze.
no answer.
Her brother Pietro rushed in the next second. Unlike her, Pietro's ability is super speed that is different from ordinary people, practical and simple and crude. He ignored the weirdo standing at the door and rushed into the cell.
He supported his sister with concern: "Wanda? Are you okay? Are you not injured?"
"I...I'm fine." Wanda closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. When she looked at the door again, there was no one there.
"Huh? Where was the person who was there just now?"
"Huh?" Pietro then turned to look at the door, "Oh, I just didn't notice...but it's not important. Someone broke into the base. All the prison doors seemed to have been opened by that person, and everyone was
Come out, now the whole place is in chaos. Come on, let's leave now."
So it really wasn't a dream. Someone really came here just now, opened the door, and gave them free options.
"Oh." Wanda nodded, "Then let's go."
…
Yes, the whole base in Straker would do this, of course only Richard is the only one.
But this was not his original intention. The plan could not keep up with the changes, and he did not expect that his "cover identity" would be exposed so quickly. The commotion had attracted the attention of the entire Hydra base. Now a large group of agents are eager to turn the base over.
They searched for the intruder, but Richard later changed two more puppets, and Hydra didn't even know who it was looking for.
But this somewhat hindered his actions, and it was quite troublesome to change hosts frequently. He happened to pass by this super detention area on his way to the dangerous goods storage room, and unexpectedly discovered that Baron Strucker was here.
There are so many men and women with superpowers imprisoned in this base.
He couldn't name most of them. They had a variety of superpowers, but their uses were general, and their potential was just that. They were all nameless little characters. In addition to the well-known heroes and villains in Marvel, like this
There are actually quite a few superpowers, and it's a shame that Baron Strucker has captured so many of them, and must have invested a lot of money and effort into them.
Richard didn't think much when he passed by and opened all the cages. So many people with super powers have been detained and exploited by Hydra for a long time, and they must have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction and even hatred in their hearts. Although a group of people cannot play cards.
You may not be able to get any benefits from facing off against a loaded Hydra agent, but you're sure to be in trouble.
Total chaos, that's what he needs. The super-powered prisoners on Hydra's side who devote their energy to suppressing the riots will definitely not have that much time to find him again.
To be honest, this is actually a routine used by almost all the super criminals who raided the SHIELD mothership in the original work. First capture the criminal holding area of the mothership, release all kinds of dangerous criminals imprisoned on the mothership, and then take advantage of SHIELD to catch them.
The fugitive has no time to do what he wants to do during his spare time.
Richard feels like the super criminal who sneaked into the mothership to cause trouble...
Discovering the Scarlet Witch was a complete accident. He thought it would take a few years for the twins to come to this base, but he didn't expect to meet them today.
But it was just a little unexpected, and he did not stay to communicate with the future Avenger. He had more important things to confirm than this.
Finally, when there was chaos outside, Richard switched back to his own appearance and came to the dangerous goods storage room of the base.
He also successfully found the purpose of his trip - the giant egg that the Hand called the dragon's egg.
Richard could understand why the Hand thought it was a dragon egg. The height of this thing, which is more than two meters, obviously excludes most of the creatures in the biosphere on the earth. When it stands, it is larger than an adult.
height, and the case also has special colored textures as shown in the photo.
Richard stepped forward, reached out and gently touched the surface of the eggshell. The shell was very thick, and the outer layer was very cold to the touch, giving it a unique touch.
He closed his eyes and tried to perceive with his own light to confirm whether this was what he thought.
After a moment, he retracted his palm and his expression became a little strange.
There was no mistake, this was exactly what he thought it was.
The Hand is wrong, this is not a dragon egg at all.
