It was 2014 and the Hydra was slowly starting off with their Project Insight.
Natasha suddenly received a call one day and rushed off with her car from the garage without saying anything.
I didn’t ask anything as she had often run of during emergencies like this. She understood by now, there was no need to tell me as I knew about it.
I smiled as my software reported few eyes on me as soon as she disappeared.
20 minutes later I received another call. *Beep* *Beep*
I answered it only to receive Nat’s panicked voice. “David, Fury is injured. Can you help him?”
“Honey, I am going to try my very best in helping him and I will. But in 3 minutes I will have one of the best units in the world targeting me and everyone I know to delay my arrival or possibly even to capture me. So, I have to take care of that before getting there.” I told her as I wore a jacket and walked out.
“What?” Nat asked in disbelief.
“Stay calm. I will be fine. But remember what I told you during the time we were choosing the guestlist for our wedding.”
She became quiet as she began to remember that the 2 years’ time was up for the warning, I had issued her.
“Is this what you meant by wait for 2 years then?” She asked me as I got into our sportscar and started it.
“Yes, don’t trust anyone other than Rogers, Hill and Fury.” She was quiet for a moment as I drove out of the garage.
“Okay, just stay safe! I will need my husband in one whole piece to cook my breakfast tomorrow.” I chuckled hearing that.
“Alright, I will. Looks like they are here. Don’t worry I will make sure they don’t destroy our home.” I heard her worried laugh as I hung up.
‘She is going to kill me for ruining another original collection…’ I sighed seeing several modified vans in the distance. “What’s this car called again?”
I asked myself as I pressed on the accelerator. *VROOM*
-------------------------------
David drove through the streets to Natasha’s last known location.
1 minute later he had 2 vans on either side of him along with another 2 SUVs in front and behind him.
*Clang* All 4 cars tightly leaned onto the Ferrari F12berlinetta.
The window of the vans opened.
David watched in panic as he saw 2 people inside each van wearing a filter mask while one of them held a pipe another held a lever. As soon as they turned the lever, pink smoke started pouring out and surrounded David’s car like a cloud.
30 seconds they switched of the pipe to see David had fallen unconscious in his car that would have gone out of control if not for the 4 cars which guiding the Ferrari F12berlinetta to a halt.
More vans and choppers arrived dropping in units as they converged onto David’s location.
The vans beside him cleared allowing all units a clear vision of David. “Move in Z1!” One of them shouted while pointing at the car.
One of the agents walked forward and opened the door just as the others pointed their gun at his unconscious figure.
Seeing his slumped figure, the agent came forward to carry him out.
However, as he tried grabbing David his hands passed through David making him along with everyone else confused. “What?!”
“Nice try!”
*Click**Clack**Click**Clack**Click**Clack**Click**Clack*-
Guns appeared in the air pointing at every single soldier’s head just as they turned their rifles to the source of the voice.
They saw David sat on top of a streetlight eating a burger.
David pointed his finger in the figure of a gun towards all of them. “Bang!”
*Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang*
Blood spurted from their heads at the same time. All their bodies dropped down the floating guns disappeared in several streams of silver dust which began eating their bodies, guns and vans.
David motioned his index finger forward causing a speck of silver dust to carry one of the unconsumed communication devices to him. Grabbing it with his fingers he placed it near his lips. “Game Over!”
There was a moment of silence before the voice on the other end replied. “16 snipers pointing at 16 different family and loved ones of hers and yours, including your parents and brothers.”
Without a care, David threw the earpiece in the air. “Fetch!” The swarm of silver dust beside him flew towards the earpiece in motion before making it cease to exist.

As David stood up on top of the lamp post his phone began ringing.
“Hello?” David answered his phone.
He turned towards the direction of the hospital and sighed. “Fine, I won’t tell her.”
----------------------------------------------------------
[A few hours later]
Rogers and Natasha walked side by side as they walked into a shopping mall.
*Tweet*
Natasha looked at her phone before smiling.
“Was that David?” Rogers asked to which Natasha nodded.
“Yeah, he was apologising for not keeping his appointment and not to worry about Fury,” Natasha said as they walked past an apple store.
“Worry what about him? He is dead.” Rogers pointed out to which Nat shrugged as she pulled her hoodie up.
“I have seen weirder things, Steve.” Steve looked back at the apple store.
“Shouldn’t we use that USB inside one of their computers?” Nat shook her head.
“We got to quickly get out of here. 9 minutes, shield strike force will be here.” Natasha said as she walked out with Steve.
“Where are we going?” Rogers asked.
“He said to tell you Camp Lehigh, Wheaton, New Jersey. Any idea?” Natasha asked Rogers who just stood still for a moment hearing the name.
“Yeah, I was made there.” Both quickly left the place to Camp Lehigh after stealing a truck.
By the time they had left the Hydra strike team just arrived inside the shopping mall.
*Tweet*
Natasha looked at her phone. “What is it?” Rogers asked Nat.
“David said that we will be walking into a trap inside the camp, but to trust him,” Natasha informed Steve.
“What kind of trap?” Rogers asked Natasha who simply shrugged her shoulders.
“Doesn’t it kind of bug you that he knows everything but doesn’t tell you?” Steve asked Natasha.
“At first it did before he explained to me why he can’t do so. After that I just trust him.” Natasha told Steve.
“So, why can’t he tell us?” Rogers asked Natasha who gave him a mysterious smile.
“For the future,” Natasha said to Rogers causing him to frown.
“In my days we used to have a saying ‘like father, like son’ but for you I am going to change that to like husband, like wife.” Nat chuckled causing Steve to shake his head.
After few hours both appeared at Wheaton, New Jersey.
Natasha looked around while Rogers got lost in his thoughts.
*Tweet*
“He said go for the bunker.” Natasha looked at Rogers with a smile.
As they entered the old shield office an app opened on her phone. [Walk forward 5 meters Nat.]
As both of them looked at Nat’s phone in surprise. “Why can’t David, just come here and do this for us?” Steve complained as they followed the mini navigation on the phone.
“Because I told him not to as it would be boring.” Rogers looked at Nat in confusion.
“It’s like someone spoiling a really good movie's ending for you. It was fun at first, but then even he got bored of doing it.” Steve rolled his eyes.
“Then why is he helping us now?” Nat shrugged her shoulder.
“Most likely because he is having fun messing with you and watching your reaction.” As Nat chuckled Rogers remembered something from 2 years ago in the Helicarrier. ‘Cell phones, laptops if it is connected to a satellite, it is eyes and ears for us.’
He shivered as he followed behind Nat. “So does he…” Nat turned to look at Steve wondering what he was trying to ask.
“You know…?” Steve made an impression of binoculars with his hands.
“No eww, why would he peep at you or others, when he is busy peeping at his beautiful wife?” Nat asked back.
‘Cuz I am good looking!’ Roger felt slightly hurt by the ‘eww’ noise Nat made, so he quietly reasoned with himself.
Following the direction, they soon arrived in front of an empty file rack. Feeling the air draft from the file rack both of them moved towards it.
“He said behind one of the empty file racks is a secret hideout.” Natasha and Rogers looked around before Rogers noticed a wind draft coming from one of the file racks.
“Why do you need a secret office within a secret office?” Rogers groaned as he began pushing the file racks.
“More like an elevator.” Natasha pointed out.
*Chime**Ping* The elevator opened up as Nat and Steve noticed the keypad next to the elevator.
Both entered inside the elevator and soon got to the basement.
“What is this place?” Steve and Natasha looked at the old tech computers around the place.
Natasha saw the USB slot and inserted the USB into there.
Following which Zola made an appearance causing a heated discussion to happen between the 3 of them of Hydra’s plan.
“What kind of algorithm? What does it do?” Natasha asked about the project insight.
“The answer to your question is fascinating. Unfortunately, you shall be too dead to hear it.” The doors to the elevator began to close causing Steve to send his Shield to stop it. Unfortunately, after bouncing around it just returned to his arm while Natasha’s phone chimed.
*Beep**Beep* “So that’s what he meant by a trap. Steve, we got ballistic. 30 seconds tops.” Natasha quickly looked up from her phone in worry.
“Who fired it?” Rogers asked with equal worry.
“Shield,” Natasha replied.
“I am afraid I have been stalling…” Just as Nat was about to reach for the USB her phone tweeted once more. *Tweet*
Natasha looked at her phone before a smile spread across her face.
“Hey, egghead check the missile’s arrival time once more!” Natasha ordered Zola.
“What do you mean?” Zola asked back.
“My husband needs to speak with you,” Natasha said as she placed her phone down before walking next to Steve.
Suddenly David’s hologram appeared before Zola. “Oi egghead you thought you could kill my wife and friend?”
“David Henswick, born…” Zola started his recognition software on David.
“Correction, it’s David Romanoff since we got married. You seriously are outdated, being only useful to match faces with names. Child’s play even with such outdated and lame technology that cavemen use.” David said as he waved of Zola.
“Uhh, just to be clear are we safe?” Rogers asked Natasha who nodded.
“Yeah, the missiles are currently offline,” Natasha replied as she showed him the location of the missile.
“David, we have your friends and family…” Before Zola could finish pictures of 16 men and women appeared before Zola with a bullet through their head.
“Dead,” David stated.
“You know you should have thought twice before you even targeted our family. You think a person who is capable of wiping out part of an entire alien army equipped for war on his own is incapable of protecting his loved ones?” David asked Zola.
“There is no point. One way or another Hydra will get to your family. Cut off one of our heads, 2 will replace.” Zola threatened.
“A few years ago, when Hydra tried to attack Natasha, I told Fury the secret to taking down Hydra. Do you want to know what it is Zola?” David asked Zola once more.
Zola grew silent. “Aim for the eyes,” David answered and within seconds thousands of bank records appeared in front of Zola.
“No matter what kind of monster it is, it needs energy to grow back its head. Just like that your energy is just your money to grow back your head. Let me see how you grow back your head when every person who works for hydra finds himself in debt and lost like a newly blind person.” Suddenly a loading screen appeared in front of Zola.
“What are you doing?” Zola asked David.
“Making every member of the Hydra as poor as a beggar. I only stood your organisations silly existence because I was tolerant and was requested to stay my hand till I was to act free. But you had to constantly poke me across my reverse scale to get my attention.” Nat watched the conversation in interest, while Steve had a frown.
*Whizz* “Woah!” Suddenly 1 large portal appeared under both Natalie and Rogers as they disappeared.
“So, this is goodbye to you Zola and not too long for Hydra as well. That missile will hit its intended target. But unfortunately, only you will cease to exist in that strike.” Natasha’s phone disappeared not long after under a portal.
Zola attempted to send a message to Pierce but somehow all his messages were blocked. “No! Noooo!”
*Booom*
