   "This is your stop." The man said as we arrived at a tall building.

   "What about you?" Sitwell asked.

   "I have somewhere important to be. Don't worry though, he'll show you the way." The man gestured to the other man at the car door.

   The other man opened the door and ripped Sitwell out.

   "Come on." The lady that was with him said to me. I nodded and got out. As I got out, I could see who they were.

   Captain America and Black Widow. Well, this wasn't going to be good.

   We went all the way to the roof. When we got there, Captain America punched Sitwell in the face. Maybe this would be good after all.

   "Tell me about Zola's algorithm." Captain America demanded.

   "Never heard of it." Sitwell replied.

   "What were you doing on the Lemurian Star?" He asked. He had him there.

   "I was throwing up. I get seasick." Sitwell answered. What a excuse.

   Apparently, the Captain didn't like that answer and held him at the edge of the roof.

   "Is this display meant to insinuate that you're going to throw me off the roof? Because it isn't really your stile, Rogers." Sitwell retorted with a smirk.

   The Captain smiled and put him down. "You're right." He said and brushed him off.

   "It's hers." He said, stepping out of the way of the Black Widow's kick. Sitwell then fell off the roof.
   "Ooooh." I said to myself.

   They started to talk about some girl from accounting. They have some weird methods of doing things.

   Then a man with wings came flying up with Sitwell in his arms, screaming. He dropped Sitwell back on the roof and landed in the most - in my opinion - coolest landing ever.

   "Cool." I said under my breath.

   "Zola's algorithm is a program for choosing insight's targets." Sitwell blurted.

   "What targets?" The Captain asked.

   "You! A TV anchor in Cairo, the Under Secretary of Defense, a high school Valedictorian in Iowa City, Bruce Banner, Stephen Strange, anyone who's a threat to Hydra." Sitwell shouted.

   "Now, or in the future?" The Captain asked.

   Shut up, Sitwell. Don't tell them any more intel.

   "In the future? How could it know? How could it not? The 21st century is a digital book. Zola taught Hydra how to read it. Your bank records, medical histories, voting patterns, emails, phone calls, your dang SAT scores! Zola's algorithm evaluates people's past to predict their futures." Sitwell said.

   "And what then?" The Captain asked.

   "Oh my, gosh. Pierce is going to kill me." Sitwell said to his self.

   He's right about that. Pierce is going to kill him, along with me.

   "What then?" The Captain asked again, being more forceful. 
  
    "Then the Insight helicarriers scratch people off the list. A few million at a time." Sitwell answered as he looked up.

   You idiot.

   "What do you know about project Insight?" Black Widow asked me.

   "Why would you think I would know anything?" I answered with a smart mouth.

   "You were with Fury in the car. Then disappeared afterwards." She replied.

   Oh, crap. This isn't good at all.

   "I don't know anything about the project. He told you everything I knew." I answered, truthfully.

   "So you are with Hydra.Why would they want a kid?" The Captain asked.

   "I know my stuff. I'm pretty much the brains of Hydra, or I was until I found out who they really are." I replied.

   "How old are you?" The man with wings asked. "I'm nine and a half." I said, waiting to hear his reaction.

   "What!? Dang kid, you must be smart for Hydra to want you." The man exclaimed.

   "Yeah, you could say that." I said.

   "We better get a move on. We don't have much time." The Captain said, making his way to the elevator. "Bring the kid and Sitwell, too." He quickly added.

   "What do you need me for?" Sitwell asked. "For a lot of things." The Captain answered.

   Then we got back into the car. We drove down the interstate to wherever we were going.

   "Hydra doesn't like leaks." Sitwell said from the back seat.

   "Then why don't you try sticking a cork in it." The man retorted from up front. I chuckled a little bit.

   "Insight's launching in sixteen hours." I informed them. I did know a little information about the project.

   "We're cutting it a little close here." Black Widow said from the seat beside me.

   "I know. We'll use Sitwell to bypass the DNA scans and access the helicarriers directly." The Captain said. It wasn't a bad idea.

   "What? Are you crazy?" Sitwell exclaimed. "That's a terrible, terrible idea." He said. He wasn't wrong either.

   At that very moment, an arm came through the window, grabbing Sitwell, and throwing him into a semi.

   The thing was though, the arm was metal.
