The Spider Family

The Meetings

So, somethings for anyone who came from my Maximoff siblings story, I am writing down drafts for the civil war story so don't worry I'm not putting all my focus on this story.

Granted it is hard trying to between to stories so I'll have to learn how to do that a little better.

But that said on to the chapter.

Aboard the HYDRA stealth Jet

Aboard the stealth jet, Viper stood before the glowing interface, delivering a detailed report to Baron Wolfgang von Strucker. The dim cabin was filled with the low hum of machinery as she prepared to explain the events of their mission.

"Baron," she began, her tone firm. "We successfully captured the woman as planned. However, shortly after, the Spiders somehow located us, which remains unclear. A fight broke out between our forces and the Spiders, and then S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived on the scene, complicating our extraction."

Strucker's expression darkened, his patience wearing thin. "You're telling me that the Spiders knew of your presence and engaged? This is a disaster! S.H.I.E.L.D. is the last organization the Spiders need to be involved with!"

Viper held her ground, undeterred by his anger. "With respect, Baron, S.H.I.E.L.D. was already targeting the Spiders prior to our engagement. Their arrival may have been coincidental, but they handled Fury's agents with remarkable ease, and it provided us with the perfect opportunity to escape. So we did accomplish our primary objective: we captured the Spiders' aunt."

She paused, gauging Strucker's reaction before continuing. "It's important to note that while the Spiders likely knew of their connection to her, judging by how she acted-she seemed as if she had never seen them before. This leads me to believe that they may have known of her existence but never made direct contact."

Return to base immediately," he instructed, his voice now steady but resolute. "We must regroup and formulate a new strategy. I want updates on the Spiders' movements and any S.H.I.E.L.D movement."

Viper nodded, her expression serious. "Understood. I will ensure we return as soon as possible."

With a final nod, Strucker's image flickered and disappeared from the screen, leaving Viper alone in the quiet of the jet not acknowledging Taskmaster or the pilot. She took a moment to gather her thoughts, the weight of the situation pressing down on her. The Spiders were proving to be more resilient than anticipated, and then the threat of a possible alliance between them and S.H.I.E.L.D. could turn into a significant threat.

With the stealth jet continuing on its path back to the HYDRA base, Viper's mind raced with plans and contingencies. They had captured May Parker, but she knew that the Spiders would not be easily deterred. She needed to ensure that HYDRA was prepared for the inevitable confrontation.

As the stealth jet glided smoothly through the sky, Taskmaster leaned against the console, arms crossed, observing Viper as she finished her report to Baron Strucker. He noted the way she seemed lost in thought, her brow furrowed with concern. Breaking the silence, he turned to her, curiosity evident in his voice.

"Do you think Crossbones or the captured HYDRA agents will talk?" he asked, his tone casual but laced with an edge of seriousness. "You know Fury won't go easy on them."

Viper shifted her gaze towards him, her expression thoughtful. "Some of the HYDRA agents may crack under Fury's interrogation," she admitted, her voice steady. "There's always a chance that fear will get the better of them. Some might hold out longer than others, but with the right pressure, they could easily break."
