the strongest avenger (2)

ninety five

"Danika...as in our friend Danika?" Sam asks through the call.

I nod my head yes. "She's some sort of...higher up individual."

"She was at the Texas facility changing codes. She was also talking to a guy, Sonny, who kept referring to her as his boss." Bucky explains from next to me.

"And they're behind. Really behind. I took a picture as she was changing the codes, so we have locations and the most up to date sequences."

"What do you mean behind?" Natasha asks.

"When we took care of Ohio, the two most important doctors were there, and are now dead. So, a lot of their research for the serum they were developing are gone and the researchers are dead." I tell them.

"They need more of Snow's blood." Bucky says. "And they might not be making more mutts, Sonny said they were getting unpredictable. But they are working on new weapons."

"A gun," I start. "one that sends pulse waves that neutralize an enhanced individual. I guess it would make Wanda and I normal for a little. I'm not sure, but that's what it sounded like."

"But they're pretty far off from making it." Steve says from the pilot's seat. "Sonny said February for the gun."

"By the latest." I chip in.

"We've gotta finish with the facilities," James says. "we have a list of the locations along with current codes, but we need to make a point to get into their software for the updated sequences each time."

"I think that I can use my friendship or whatever with Danika to plant some stuff into her mind. It can be an advantage for us, because she doesn't know, that we know she's Hydra." I say.

"Use it to our advantage..." Sam mumbles. "We can tell her false plans, get her to think we're gonna be somewhere and she'll go—"

"A trap." Nat says. "We're gonna set a trap."

"Yes." I say with a smile. "But first, we need to eliminate majority of the other facilities. Until there's one left, then we can set the plan in motion."

"So...we're going to be working like everyday?" Sam asks.

"Basically."

Steve was able to land the jet in one of the surrounding forests of Waco. We had done our best to cover it with some leaves and sticks, but ended up giving up due to the fact that we'll only be staying one night.

We walked a little over a mile from the woods to the main road, where we called an Uber to take us to the hotel Tony had booked for us. On the jet, we changed so that we didn't look all...Avenger-like.

Luckily, my suit hadn't been permanently damaged from the mutt back in Ohio. Shuri told me that the nanotechnology would keep it intact once I reactivated it. Similar to the way that it cleans itself when not in use.

We have a room at Hotel Indigo...not sure what the ratings are on it, but Tony usually does a good job. James holds my overnight bag, like a gentleman, as we ride up the elevator.

We're on the fourth floor, Steve leading the way with the room key out. I nod my head as we walk in, admiring the floor plan. A nice sized living room, a small kitchen to the left, a bathroom across the kitchen. Towards the back right I see a door opening up to a bedroom.

"...Is there only one bed?" I ask as I make my way over, finding a massive King bed inside with a bathroom attached.

"That's unfortunate." Steve mumbles.
