"The twins," Dr. List interrupted.

"They are not ready to take on-"

"No, no. I mean..." he pointed to where Pietro and Wanda were standing, but were now gone, "Twins."

Pietro sped through the forest. He caught Clint and Elliot's arrows as they shot at the bunker, then circled back around and knocked Clint and Elliot down.

"You didn't see that coming?" Pietro asked, running off before Clint and Elliot could shoot him with an arrow and Clint and Elliot got shot at.

Pietro knocked down Steve as he sped past him.

"We have an enhanced in the field," Steve informed.

"Clint and Elliot are hit!" Natasha cried.

Natasha went over to where Clint and Elliot were lying down and said, "Somebody want to deal with that bunker?" She saw Hulk coming in, and he barreled through the bunker and destroyed it. "Thank you."

Steve said, "Stark, we really need to get inside."

"I'm closing in," Tony replied. "JARVIS, am I... closing in? Do you see a power source for that shield?"

"There's a particle wave below the north tower," JARVIS informed.

"Great, I wanna poke it with something." He blew up the forcefield to the base. "Drawbridge is down, people."

Thor said to Steve, "The enhanced?"

"He's a blur," Steve replied. "All the new players we've faced, I've never seen this. In fact, I still haven't."

"Clint and Elliot are hit pretty bad, guys," Natasha warned. "We're gonna need evac."

Thor glanced to Steve. "I can get the Bartons to the jet. The sooner we're gone the better. You and Stark secure the scepter."

"Copy that," Steve said, hoping his friends would be all right.

Thor, referring to the approaching soldiers in their HYDRA tank, stated, "It looks like they're lining up."

"Well, they're excited," Steve commented as Thor pounded on Steve's shield with his hammer and the resulting wave of force knocked down all the soldiers.

"Find the scepter." He flew off.

"And for gosh sake, watch your language!" Tony added.

Steve let out a sigh. "That's not going away anytime soon."

Tony entered the HYDRA base and the soldiers started firing at his Iron Man suit.

"Guys, stop, we gotta talk this through," Tony told them as he shot down the soldiers using rockets from his suit. "It was a good talk."

"No, it wasn't," a fortress soldier retorted.

Tony found List and knocked him out, then stepped out of his Iron Man suit.

"Sentry mode," Tony said as he walked over to the computers. "Okay, JARVIS. You know I want it all. Make sure you copy Hill at HQ."

"We're locked down out here," Natasha stated.

"Then get to Banner, time for a lullaby," Steve instructed.

HYDRA BASE

"I know you're hiding more than files," Tony said. "Hey, J, give me an IR scan of the room, real quick."

"The wall to your left... I'm reading steel reinforcement... and an air current," JARVIS informed.

Tony spoke to himself as he walked over to the wall. "Please be a secret door, please be a secret door..." He pushed and the wall opened up. "Yay!" He entered through to a secret passageway.
