"Where did the information come from?" Rhodey asks.

"If I were to hazard a guess I would say Hydra," Steve mutters, flipping through the hard copies of the files on screen. He pulls his gaze from the papers and shares a look with Nat before looking to the rest of us. "They've said before that their goal is to create chaos, then seize control.

My eyes drop to the three-inch stack of papers in front of Steve. There are four folders, each with a few hundred pages detailing the individuals' crimes. The information was leaked just in time for the 6 O'clock news, and Fury pulled everyone into a meeting as soon as it was released.

I was really hoping to go longer than a week before any more alarm bells went off again...

"I don't disagree, but what's their endgame? That's what we need to be worried about," Nat says.

"Well, shit," Tony mutters.

"What is it?" Nat asks.
