Clint Barton has a farm estate.
This was arranged for him by Nick Fury.
Unlike other agents, Hawkeye Clint Barton's wife is the well-known Mockingbird, after all.
As a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he chose to retire and married Laura Barton after leaving S.H.I.E.L.D.
The best course of action was to go into hiding to avoid retaliation.
So, this matter had always been kept secret.
The only people who knew about Clint Barton's estate were Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and Natasha Romanoff!
Oh, and Phil Coulson.
After all, Phil Coulson had assisted with everything from the farm's site selection to a series of arrangements!
Well, Hill and Phil Coulson are Nick Fury's trusted confidants.
So, it's no surprise they knew about Barton's marriage and the farm.
As for Natasha Romanoff...
That's because Barton trusts her deeply, so she knows about it.
Therefore, now that Su Che and Steve's apartments had been bombed,
to ensure Wanda and Pietro's safety,
Nick Fury immediately contacted Barton, planning to send Wanda and Pietro to Barton's estate.
Only by hiding there could they avoid being "implicated."
At least until this matter was resolved, both Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff believed Barton could conceal the Maximoff siblings.
Although somewhat reluctant,
Wanda and Pietro were taken away by Clint Barton!
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters
After receiving the news, Nick Fury was visibly relieved.
Whoever else might have an accident, Wanda and Pietro absolutely could not.
Especially Wanda.
Lately, she had become quite attached to Su Che, which Nick Fury was happy to see.
At the very least, this was one of the "attachments" that could make Su Che stay in this world.
"I heard the legendary Captain and the Silver Moon Knight were attacked?"
A short while later, Alexander Pierce came to Nick Fury's office.
Sitting across from Nick Fury, Alexander Pierce said with a laugh, "What exactly happened?"
"I just finished reporting to the World Security Council and applied for a large sum of funding for S.H.I.E.L.D. It can be considered a reward for capturing dozens of HYDRA agents at once and destroying the HYDRA base in Sokovia."
"But when I returned, I heard that the famous Silver Moon Knight and the legendary Captain Rogers were attacked?" (CIAF)
"That's right!"
Hearing Pierce's question, Nick Fury didn't hold back: "The specific situation isn't very clear yet."
"But both the Silver Moon Knight's and Rogers' apartments were bombed!"
"Fortunately, they weren't home this morning; they had gone to visit Ms. Carter."
At this point, Nick Fury said with a grim expression, "Hah, we just captured dozens of hidden HYDRA elites and destroyed the HYDRA base in Sokovia."
"In the blink of an eye, the Silver Moon Knight's and Captain Rogers' apartments are bombed!"
"Pierce, don't you think that's just too much of a coincidence?"
"It's one hundred percent those HYDRA maggots hiding in the shadows, seeking revenge against the two of them!"
Leaning back in his chair, Nick Fury frowned: "The next step will likely be revenge against Tony Stark, Agent Natasha Romanoff, and even Barton."
"And maybe these lunatics will continue targeting the Silver Moon Knight and Captain Rogers."
"It seems S.H.I.E.L.D. must operate at full capacity!"
Listening to Nick Fury call them "maggots" to his face and label HYDRA as insane,
Alexander Pierce, the leader of HYDRA, had no way to refute it.
He could only nod silently: "You're right, Nick, but are you sure it's really HYDRA's revenge?"
"Could it be something else..."
"Do you think that's possible, Pierce?"
Leaning back in his seat with a cold sneer, Nick Fury looked seriously at Alexander Pierce: "Right after hitting HYDRA, we get hit with revenge!"
"Who else would do that besides HYDRA's insane scum and maggots?"
"I admit there are many forces in the dark corners of this world, and even some foolish vampires are getting restless."
"But who else would carry out such vengeful acts besides HYDRA?"
"After all, even the vampires hiding in their coffins are afraid of something, choosing to sleep rather than appear in the light!"
With Nick Fury nearly pointing his finger and cursing in his face,
although Alexander Pierce knew he wasn't the actual target of the insults,
he was the leader of HYDRA!
And no matter how you looked at it, this kind of revenge did seem like HYDRA's style.
Unfortunately, he still had no way to refute it.
They had just captured dozens of your elites and destroyed one of your bases,
and then came the revenge!
If you said it wasn't done by your HYDRA people, who would believe it!
Besides, even he, the leader of HYDRA, suspected this was the work of his own people.
But, he really hadn't ordered any revenge against the Silver Moon Knight or that Steve Rogers!
Damn it!
Did those idiots take it upon themselves to get back at the Silver Moon Knight and Steve Rogers?
Aren't they just causing trouble for HYDRA?
Do they think HYDRA hasn't suffered enough losses lately?
First, they made Nick Fury focus all his attention inside S.H.I.E.L.D., leading to an internal purge.
Are these idiots still not satisfied?
Dammit!
It seems HYDRA is about to suffer another heavy internal blow!
No, he had to deliberately sacrifice some people, let them come forward and take the fall themselves.
Otherwise, once Nick Fury turned his focus back inside S.H.I.E.L.D.,
it would really affect the progress of the Insight Plan!
These bloody, smart-aleck idiots!
Yes, even Alexander Pierce secretly believed this was an inside job by HYDRA.
Bypassing him, the leader, to take revenge on that Silver Moon Knight named Su Che and Steve Rogers!
Even Pierce himself found it hard to believe it wasn't HYDRA!
After all, the timing was just too coincidental.
No matter how you looked at it, the HYDRA he led was the prime suspect!
Well, at this moment, Alexander Pierce was completely convinced this was done by his own people!
"By the way, Pierce, you just said you applied for a large bonus for S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Looking at Alexander Pierce, Nick Fury felt a bit better at the moment.
On one hand, he had almost pointed his finger and cursed HYDRA right in front of him.
On the other hand, besides this quarter's funds, there was extra money coming in!
He could be greedy again and secretly use it to build a moon base!
