Authors note: If you haven't heard the Keith Urban song For You, I highly recommend you do. It fits Steve and Kimberly's relationship perfectly and its an amazing song.

Colonel Phillips called everyone in to the briefing room to inform everyone the outcome of his meeting with Zola.

"Johann Schmidt belongs in a bug house. He thinks he's a god and willing to blow up half the world to prove it, starting with the USA," the colonel informed us. I couldn't help but roll my eyes, Schmidt had no idea what the true powers of a god was. He wouldn't last a second if faced with Odin, the All Father himself.

"Schmidt's working with powers beyond our capabilities. He gets across the Atlantic, he will wipe out the entire eastern sea board in an hour," Howard added on to the colonels statement.

"He's playing with powers he can't even begin to understand. We need get the tesseract away from him and return it to where it belongs, away from people who want to abuse it powers. It belongs in Odin's treasure room where it can be protected," I said, finishing off the statement.

"How much time do we have?" Gab asked as he looked up and me and Steve, a worried was etched on his face.

"According to my new best friend, under twenty-four hours."

I couldn't help but giggle at the thought of Zola being Col. Phillips new best friend, but something told me that Zola didn't really have a choice about the matter.

"Where is he now?" Jacques asked, surprising all of us that he actually spoke English. Clearly Gab's lessons had paid off.

Col. Phillips walked over and picked up photo of a base that was built in to the side of a mountain.

"Hydra's last base is here. In the Alpes. Five hundred feet below the surface.

"So, what are we supposed to do. I mean, it's not like we can just knock on the front door," Jim pointed out in a defeated voice.

When Steve finally looked up from the surveillance photo that he has been staring at for the last few minutes, he had a smile on his face.

"Why not? That's exactly what we're gonna do."
