POV Madame Hydra
"Those who look only to the past or the present are sure to miss the future," I comment.
"Stop with the sophistry and just say what you want," Wolfgang von Strucker complains.
"So uncivlizised. There are finer things in life than human experiments and torture," I snap back.
"Please, everyone, let us not fight. This meeting is far too important for that," Whitehall says with a calm tone.
We both acquiesce, though I do so reluctantly, and only because I want to finish this stupid meeting so I can head back to my work.
"Yes, now can we ask why this meeting was called?" I ask Zola.
"Yes, Zola, you said this meeting had to be done in person. Now, explain why that is," Pierce comments.
"The answer is simple," Zola starts, but he is interrupted.
CRASH
"Sounds like someone's breaking in!" Stryker complains with fear.
"It's just a sound, Will, sit down," Wolfgang complains.
I still didn't like that he was given such a high-ranking position so quickly, but I was outvoted.
BOOM
An explosion goes off, and the room shakes.
"It seems the base has been breached," Whitehall calmly explains.
Wolfgang links up with the surveillance system and frowns.
"The Guardians of the Globe, the damn pests," Wolfgang complains.
Wolfgang gets up and looks at us.
"Gentlemen, and woman, in times like these, our capacity to retaliate must be and has to be massive to deter all forms of aggression," Wolfgang says calmly.
He walks to the wall and hits it, causing it to swivel and reveal an arsenal of various weapons, including some alien weapons Hydra had collected over the years.
"Everyone, lock and load," Wolfgang says with a feral grin.
We all grab a weapon or two and start planning our escape methods. We aren't fools and know that fighting them head-on would be difficult, but not impossible.
"We must fight fire with fire. Release our own metas," Stryker suggests.
We look at each other and nod. It was the best opportunity to wipe out the Guardians. As such, we all give the orders to activate the various agents that we brought with us.
POV Shift Satina
I crushed the head of yet another human, and I was already done with this boring task. They just kept coming, and they had no fear of me at all. There was no fun in that.
Snap
"Allastor!" I order after snapping my fingers.
"Yes, My Lady," Allastor says as he appears in a mass of black tentacles.
"I'm bored, so clean up the rest of the ordinary humans here. And remember not to harm the innocent ones," I order dismissively.
A sound of static comes from the various electronics nearby as Allastor gets a massive smile and his eyes become old-timey dials.
"With pleasure, My Lady," Allastor says in a voice that I recall was something to do with radio.
He summons a radio and messes with the dial until it lands on an upbeat old-timey musical number. I summon a chair and take a seat while Allastor starts his performance.
POV Shift Rio
After breaking through the outer defenses, our team makes its way towards where the prisoners are. The fake Zola kept me up to date on what the heads of Hydra were doing, which was why I was prepared for what happened next.
Fwoosh
A blue blur came running at us, but I dodged at the last second.
"Enemy contact. Captain handle Bucky, Selene handle the snake lady, Tony the Chinese woman, Wolverine your daughter, Natasha the redhead, Power Woman (Jessica) the feral looking man, Luke... get down," I say while throwing a batarang at Colossus.
Boom
"Damn it! This is why I hate Mind Control," I complain.
Colossus had been mind-controlled and was now attacking us. Luke stepped in and confronted him.
"I've got him!" Luke shouts.
"Fine, Kaede, handle the Symbiote," I order.
Said Symbiote comes crawling from an empty hallway as the deranged experiment Hydra created makes itself known.
"I'm gonna bathe in your blood!" says the insane Symbiote.
Everyone leaves to handle their foe while I work on dealing with Quicksilver.
Fwoosh
Quicksilver comes in for a punch, and I can instantly tell this guy was inexperienced, but even with that, his speed made it nearly impossible for me to catch him. I rolled with his punch, which came much faster this time, and threw a smoke pellet down. The pellet didn't just contain gas but a potent anesthetic.
Cough Cough
I hear his cough, but just as I predicted, that still didn't stop him. My next strategy was already in motion, though, as he ran at me and slipped on the floor, which was covered in ice.
"Whoa!" Quicksilver yells as he falls over and slides towards me.
I toss another pellet at him, and when the smoke clears, Quicksilver is encased in ice except for his head. Despite being taken out for the moment, I didn't wait and struck him again, this time with more sleeping gas. As the gas took effect, I saw his eyes go unfocused, but before I could move in for the last touch, he started to vibrate.
Crack
The ice started to crack, and I jumped back as the ice exploded and Quicksilver was released. But he didn't get out unscathed; his skin was pale, and he was clearly exhausted. He took one look in my direction and sped away.
I wait for a few seconds before pretending to lower my guard. It was at that moment that Quicksilver arrived after building up a massive running start. He punches me, and a sonic boom is heard as the impact is made. I shatter into a million pieces, or rather, the illusion of me over the golem does. The golem is obliterated, but Quicksilver is taken out of the fight due to the backlash. The shrapnel of the golem pierces him, and he falls to the ground. This causes Wanda to scream out in panic, but unlike in the movie, this doesn't really empower her, as she doesn't have Chaos Magic; instead, this gives Natasha the chance she needed to knock her out as well.
I take a deep breath internally and continue on with the mission after stabilizing Quicksilver and sealing his abilities with magic handcuffs. I do the same with Wanda and look towards the others. Everyone else was still struggling to take out their foe. Probably cause everyone's enemy had really strong healing factors. The only one without a healing factor was Bucky, and he was still strong enough that Steve was having issues beating him.
I look to Natasha and have to tackle her to the ground as a poison dart heads for her unprotected neck. I respond with a batarang and nail the assassin in the eye, killing them instantly.
"Thanks," Natasha says with a slightly surprised tone.
"Be more careful," I warn.
I didn't wait around and moved to disable Colossus. Doing so was easy; I just had to touch him to disrupt the mind control. Though that did mean I had to knock him out by hitting his pressure points. Luke thanked me, and I could tell he would bruise internally from the hits he took.
The next to be taken down was Bucky in much the same way as Colossus. As with Wanda and the others, for safety, everyone had power-dampening cuffs to prevent anyone from trying anything.
Slice... Thud
Selene finishes Viper off not long after Bucky goes down, though not without some nasty burns, and her clothes getting a little lighter. I didn't say a thing and pulled out a fresh pair of clothes.
"Thanks, she was a pain in the ass to kill. I'm not sure if she can regenerate from losing her head," Selene says while quickly putting on the new pair of clothes.
"No, she's dead. How bad is the poison?" I ask with a bit of warmth.
"Pretty bad. I'm gonna need you to teleport me out of here, as her poison can disable abilities for a while. I'm slowly healing, but I can't be sure how long I will stay weakened. She was also enhanced by some drug, which made her a lot faster than any human should be," Selene reports.
I nod and teleport her back to the Watchtower medical bay for healing. While I was at it, I sent the prisoners as well.
"RAAAAAARRGH!" the Sabretooth Clone screams as he literally explodes into a mass of wriggling flesh.
That flesh then gets absorbed by the Symbiote and increases its strength.
"Kaede, do you need help?" I ask.
"No," Lucy says with a serious tone and eyes that even made me want to shiver.
"If you're done chatting, can you help me with Freddy Cougar?" Tony jokes while shooting at Lady Deathstrike.
I walk over and disable her, much like those before her, but before I can do anything else, The Force screams in warning, and I toss my cape over her. Mere moments later, her body balloons and explodes, but this time it sends adamantium shrapnel blasting from her, and it shreds the floor below her; my cape, which is made of Vibranium, handles the impact fine.
"Hey, Bub, can you prevent her from doing that?" Wolverine asks while gesturing to X-23, who was slashing at him.
"Give me a moment," I reply while pulling out a device, and I rapidly hack through the bomb implanted in her.
Once that was done, I nodded to him and attempted to disable X-23, though in her case, she was trained enough to attempt to dodge my attacks; she still stood no chance, as Batman was a master of every Martial Art, and I was able to dismantle her defences before paralysing her. Then some cuffs and a quick teleportation to the Watchtower.
Crash
Lucy's fight starts to get more chaotic as the Symbiote seems to get stronger with each soldier killed in the area.
"Go, I'll deal with this freak," Lucy demands.
I nod, and we split up. Steve would go with Tony, Jessica, Luke Cage, and Natasha to clear out Hydra's leaders. I would head to the prisoners and start transporting them to safety.
My task was easy. The guards were all drawn away, save a few, but those that were left didn't survive long before I eliminated them. They never even saw it coming as I snuck my way to the prisoners to avoid the Hydra heads from doing anything dangerous. Thankfully, they didn't have the time to sabotage the prisoners. Though you could argue they wouldn't do that unless they knew we were coming, as sabotaging the very people you need for experiments is counterintuitive.
Right before I reach the prisoners, I transform into my Unicorn form and let my Aura of purity out on full blast. My form was a pure white steed with flowing blonde hair and a long lion's tail; my eyes turned into the most captivating, deep blue sapphire colored eyes that even I have become lost in. I also disable all cameras in the area. When I reach the prisoners, they are panicking or so zoned out that they don't even react as I reach the area.
"I'm here to get you out of here. Walk through the portal, and the people on the other side will keep you safe," I say with a calming smile.
When I talk, many go from scared to relaxed and start to follow my orders. Those who are too traumatized to react slowly regain luster in their eyes, but they otherwise just automatically follow my orders due to being here for too long. I try to create a calming atmosphere and to soothe their hearts.
Once the last one was in the care on the other side of the portal, I transformed back into Batman and started making my way out of the base as I received a call from Lucy warning me that she would have to go all out to put down the Symbiote. All out for Lucy means enough power to wipe out a town in one hit. I didn't like her using such immense power, as it puts strain on her body and makes her weak for days afterward. But I will just have to take care of her after the fact.
"We've eliminated the various heads. Some of them gave us a little trouble with some alien tech, but we've managed," Steve reports.
"Copy that, evacuate immediately," I order, and everyone swiftly leaves, including Satina, though in her case, she got all she wanted and had already returned to Limbo.
Once everyone was far enough away, we watched as a massive, barely visible limb pierced into the sky and then came crashing down with a massive punch. The power behind it was so powerful that it created what could only be described as a nuclear explosion as Lucy literally punched a hole through the base.
"Holy crap. You weren't kidding when you said she was strong," Tony said with awe as he ran calculations on the power of the blast and likely realised he would be screwed if he tried to tank that hit.
I didn't respond and instead summoned the Batjet and flew off to pick up Lucy as she collapsed in exhaustion. I also did this to make sure that the Symbiote is truly dead. To nobody's surprise, it was vaporised completely.
"You really didn't have to do that. We could have used conventional weapons to destroy it," I say while removing my Batman transformation.
"Then you wouldn't have to carry me out of here in your arms," Lucy says honestly.
"Sigh. Fine, I'll take care of you as usual. But Helen will deal with anything to do with nudity," I respond sternly.
Lucy pouts at me and uses her Puppy Dog Eyes, but it wasn't very effective.
"Meanie," Lucy says with a cute pout.
