Ivy's POV

"We're here!" I said, entering the meeting room. Steve and James walked right behind me. Most of the team was already there.

"Where's everybody?" I asked, collapsing on the couch in the back of the room. I looked around. Tony was sitting at the end of the table, fidgeting his phone in his hands. Steve sat next to Nat on the right side of the table. Clint stood behind Nat, leaning on the wall. Bruce was flipping through the pages in the file. Wanda and Vision were sitting on the left side of the table. James sat next to me on the couch and placed his hand on my knee.

"They're already preparing for the mission." Tony said. "We were just waiting for both of you to bring you up to speed."

"Ok, so what is going on?" James asked, leaning on the couch.

"General Ross informed us about our mandatory assistance of the bacteriological weapon transport we intercepted not so long ago."

"What weapon? When did this happen?" I asked. I looked over to James. "Was this your secret mission with Steve?"

"Yeah, I couldn't tell you. It was too dangerous." He squeezed my knee lightly.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, we had to stay in the quarantine for a couple of days after the intercept. Just to be sure."

I smiled at him tenderly.

"So what is going on right now?" James stood up and walked to Bruce, who passed him a file.

"We received a tip-off that the transport will be compromised. I don't know how they knew about it, but they will try to do it." Tony said.

"Who?" I furrowed my brows.

"HYDRA" James stated, reading the file.

"Of course, it's HYDRA again..." I rolled my eyes. "Seriously, when is it going to end? Why do they need this weapon anyway?"

"They want it back, Ivy." Steve said.

"Want it back?" I was taken aback. "What do you mean? You stole it from them?"

"It doesn't matter now." Tony stood up. "What matters is that we need to assist the transport to one of our facilities in Alaska, where we'll be able to destroy it. I'm assuming it won't be pretty so we have to prepare. They won't stop until they get the weapon back."

"Aren't you worrying they might have the extra vials of this bioweapon stashed somewhere else?" My mouth twitched in an involuntary grimace.

"These are the last 3 vials of it. Buck and I destroyed the lab and everything with it. That's why we were in the quarantine."
