48 hours? Afflon itself would be dead in 24 what the hell am I going to do? If ARAE end what in the world would HYDRA work with?

"You're sure they can't get past our Level 18 and 19?" His deep voice giving me goosebumps by the fact of realising that this wouldn't be Afflon's call anymore, it would be mine.

If I don't take any action the whole world would know about ARAE and they're main weapon which is me.

ARAE would've just been another myth and conspiracy theory with lacking evidence, but now that HYDRA wants to get involved, this complicates everything.

Fury, the world security council, other HYDRA bases, everyone would be aware of my whereabouts and where to find me if HYDRA do decide to take action. I have to take action before HYDRA strikes first.

Oh wait, HYDRA doesn't have anyone to defend them, now that Bucky's gone I could infiltrate the Russian base. Then again what if the information was passed all the way to HYDRA headquarters which probably very likely happened then my actions wouldn't be justified.

The HYDRA headquarters is in Germany, and that's a long way away from Iceland, Russia not too far away from here.

Oh this is so confusing, but one thing that will not change are my plans for tomorrow. I just need some time to figure out how to fool HYDRA which would be one of the hardest things I'd ever have to face.

Even if I do plot a plan, I'll always need a backup now that we're taking a global scale threat that is HYDRA I would need more than three backup plans.

Afflon simply turned back walking away from the room.

I was still left looking into the mass of crowded geniuses another thing they all had in common apart from being exceptionally smart was how their faces crumpled due to pure stress and disbelief.

I watched Agent Bentley as he jogged back to complete the pending requests by Afflon.

It was so tempting to stay with Afflon and meet him back on floor 26, he did ask me to join him so it wasn't completely impossible.

So that's what I'll do, if I listen in to Afflon's plan I could just make them my own after his death tomorrow. I dashed up the stairs, looking at the number plates while I skimmed from level 17 to 26.

After the long yet short sprint up the stairs I barged into his office, to my shock he wasn't present there. Where could he have gone?

I march to the elevator peeking at the last level it landed on '25' wait... Afflon's down my corridor? I jumped down the stairs speed walking down the corridor to my room.

I kicked my the door to my room open, my mind taking control of the adrenaline streaming up inside me.

"Nice entrance." He chucked, laying down on my bed.

"What's the plan?" I asked shutting the door with my hand, shocked to hear Afflon laugh at this stage.

"Still needs planning."

"Get your ass of my bed and save ARAE." I fumed.

"I am saving ARAE, just a little slow and you seem very interested in this organisation all of a sudden."

"Maybe because everyone in the world would start looking for me."

"Do you have anything in mind?"

"No." The words hurt to leave my throat.

"Well that makes the two of us."

"Why are you in my room?" I bluntly asked.

"I haven't been on such a comfy bed in years, makes me think faster."

Oh how I wanted to kick him in the face. I went out to the corridor locking the door to my own room and picking up my phone.

I rang Bucky and waited for him to answer my call. "I've got news...bad one." I knew I wouldn't gain a reply back so I continued. "HYDRA hacked into loads of our computers. They know about my past missions." I grunted gaining a sigh from him in response.

"Got any idea on what I could do?" I asked the man almost forgetting I didn't tell him the important details, but then again it's Bucky the guy who doesn't talk much after falling off the damn train. "Sorry for bothering you, I should get back to planning bye." I cut the call.

I walked back into my room, Afflon still laying aloof on my bed, I strolled up and down imitating Afflon the last time I saw him in the office.

My mind felt like it was on a quest of its own, running through the memories of my mission to free Bucky to my meeting with Maria trying to find problems to unsolvable equations.

"I've got it!" I screamed bringing Afflon back into the world. "They hacked us right, all they have are very little details what if..." I paused exciting myself for the big reveal. "We hacked our own system and use it to work in our favour again." I looked over to Afflon smiling merrily "Storing the real facts up at level 19 and fakes down at 17." I finished.

I laid my pupils upon a spark that emitted in Afflon's neon, starving eyes. "That's perfect." He ran out of my room to suggest the idea.

I looked out the window, my smile never fading the day was almost coming to an end. A new era was about to begin, an era where ARAE was just another theory invented by crazed enthusiasts.
