━━ "TONY!" Xiomara called, the five agents practically storming the library. "The recruits are here!"
The man looked up from his screen, cocking a brow. "Alright." He slammed his laptop shut dramatically. "Everyone, gather 'round."
Everyone in the room gathered around the circular table in the middle of the library. "Look, we all need to do this as fast as possible. First, we find the locations of everyone, and I mean everyone. Then, we need to be distributed to each place, and this needs to be done fast. But first, heartbeat check." He briefly pointed to the ceiling. "The man in the ceiling's gonna check your heartbeat. If it's normal, congrats! You get to live to see another day. If we don't sense one, prepared to be kicked out. Not just out of this tower, I mean kicked out of life. Anyone wanna back out now?"
Silence. The adults all gave each other a slight nod.
"JARVIS, you know what to do. Scan away."
"Scanning now, Mr. Stark."
The world seemed to stand still for seven seconds. Tension forced itself into the air as they impatiently waited for the results. "Average heart rates from all humans in the room, Mr. Stark." JARVIS announced, and the tension evaporated instantly. "Well, that proved that." Tony gave a singular nod. "Let's go save everyone's asses."
"And then brag about how cool we are?" Dom cocked a brow, Tony smirking.
"I like the way he thinks." He looked to Jimmy while jutting his thumb in Dom's direction.
"Dope." The man tilted his head to each side, small cracks sounding from his neck. "I hate when you do that." Monica's nose scrunched in disgust.
"Aw, c'mon, Mon. You gotta admit, it's kinda cool." Dom gave a nonchalant shrug.

The team set up a schedule that allowed two people in the library at a time. Of course, they worked in other rooms, but the most work was done in the library. Clint and Tony would begin at seven am and ended at twelve pm. Dom and Jimmy would pick up and finish at five pm. Next, Maria and Monica continued and stopped at ten pm. Xiomara and Natasha followed before resting at three am. Lastly, JARVIS would search until 7 am, where the cycle would start again.
One day of searching bled into two days, two into three, and three into four. When Dom and Jimmy did find information, they quickly alerted everyone. When the other agents filed into the room, Jimmy began.
"Selkirk." He showed the team HYDRA's coordinates.
"I'm sorry, Canada?" Xiomara's brows raised as she let out of bark of laughter in disbelief. Canada, particularly Selkirk, was cold, and she hated the cold. "As in 'dead-of-winter-all-the-time' Canada?"
