Chapter 9

Catherine

"So let me get this straight," Tony says. I nod for him to continue. "This weird H.Y.D.R.A. branch, which experiments with giving people the ability to change into animals, has an army full of them and they want to finish what H.Y.D.R.A. first started and change everyone so that they can control them?" He sums up everything I've told all of them since I showed them what I really am.

I nod and bite my bottom lip. "Yup, that's pretty much it. And we need to find out how to stop them. From what I know, they haven't attacked yet, and right before I left they had very large numbers and that was about two years ago. Who knows how many are there now," I explain.

They take in the new piece of information I just gave them. Steve looks around the table, and lets out a sigh. "Do you know where they're keeping them, and what type of numbers they have?" He asks. I nod. "Do you have a map? I can mark what I know out."

Tony hands me a tablet, and on the screen is a Google Earth type of map. What? I may be 95 but I know how to use technology.

I quickly type in the locations of the bases and hit the 'project' button which causes a holographic image of the map to pop up in the middle of the conference table.

We decided to talk everything over in the conference room, per my request. You never know who could be watching or listening. "As you can see," I say motioning to Europe, "That most of the bases are on that continent, but that's expected," I say while zooming in on Europe.

"But what most people don't know is that there are bases in the Middle East and Asia, mainly India, China, Russia, and there's even a couple of old bases being used in Australia," I explain while showing each of these places and where the bases are roughly located.

"Are there any other known areas to your knowledge?" Clint asks. I nod, and bite my bottom lip.

I move the map over to North America and to the United States. I zoom in more in the middle of the country. "I know there was some activity in the southwestern/southeastern states such as Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. I'm not quite sure what it was, but I think it's worth looking into," I say. I place the tablet down infront of me, and look around to everyone.

They survey the map, looking at all of the bases they probably didn't even know existed until I showed them. "And numbers wise?" Steve asks. I sigh, they're not going to like this. "When I left, there were 50,000 combat ready agents. I'm not sure what the numbers are now," I say reluctantly.

"Well shit," Bucky says while rubbing his face, then looks back to the map. "What do you think we should do Catherine?" Steve asks. I look at him, surprised that he's asking me what to do. From what I have seen from the short time I've been here, Steve is the leader here, and he's the one who calls the shots.

"Honestly? I would look into the places on the map and wait for something to happen. We don't need to send them into a frenzy with them knowing we know what they're up to. We should wait it out, and see what information we get from monitoring the bases," I say.

He nods.

"That sound good. Bruce, Tony, get the coordinates to the bases and see what you can find and if you find anything let us know. Everyone else, it looks like we're playing the waiting game," Steve says.

We all get up, and walk out of the conference room. I walk down the hall as everyone goes their separate ways.

"Catherine!" Someone yells my name. I turn around to see Natasha walking towards me. "Do you need something Natasha?" I ask. I really want to get on the good side of the red haired woman, but I just really want to be alone right now.
