Upon seeing the Baron, it could be said that Bruce's plan had already been half successful.
Whereafter, Bruce smiled in response, "hello."
Baron Stafford sat down and motioned for Bruce to sit down as well. At this moment, the Baron seemed like he was very hospitable, and did not seem like he was the leader of a terrorist organization at all.
But Bruce didn't believe in this 'act' for a second. To be able to be in the position he was in, was impossible without being highly intelligent as well as ruthless.
This was especially because the Baron and Captain America were the same age. It was only because he had been injected with some type of genetic virus that his face had maintained its original state.
"Welcome to the base, there are many things here for you to do. But for the moment, you should have a good rest before you begin," said the Baron.
He decided not to let Bruce meet the twins right off the bat, as he didn't know Bruce's purpose in coming here. Naturally Bruce didn't mind, because he knew exactly what the Baron was worried about.
Regardless, his plan needed to be taken step by step, and this wasn't an issue.
"Apologies, I have yet to introduce myself. My name is Wolfgang Von Strucker, but you can just call me Strucker." Strucker introduced himself, but did not shake hands with Bruce.
Bruce didn't mind that either and immediately responded, "Bruce Lite."
After their introductions, Strucker whispered something to his men before turning around and leaving. He had only come here to reaffirm Bruce and maybe get a feel for him.
Although the twins were currently in an unstable state, he would still not let Bruce instantly come into contact with them. He was a very cautious man, but Bruce didn't reveal anything through his expression.
Loki's scepter contained the Mind Gem, and the superpowers created using that power would all be unstable to a certain extent.
Moreover before that, the twins were merely ordinary people, so alongside the side effects of the Mind Gem, the twins would definitely experience a sudden loss of control one day. And that day, would be the perfect day for Bruce to take action.
After Baron Strucker left, Bruce laid down on his bed and relaxed. He knew that no matter what action he took now, there would always be people watching his every movement.
Therefore, in order to temporarily dispel their doubts, he had to put on a perfect act and not do anything for a period of time.
In reality, even if he was not being constantly monitored, he would still have a lot of time to kill before 'that' day came.
According to the progression of the plot, the plot of Captain America 2 was about to begin. And after that, followed the 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' and the Sokovia War.
When that time came, he would need to simply let Iron Man produce Ultron, and he would be in line with the direction of the plot.
...
He had been waiting around for seven days straight now, and during these seven days, a special group of people would bring him food.
His movements hadn't been restricted at all, he was even allowed to enter and leave the base at will. His only limitation was that he wasn't allowed access to some crucial places, which was understandable.
Bruce knew very well what HYDRA was doing right now, so he wasn't in a hurry to begin what he 'came here to do' and was instead taking his time.
And as he thought, during these seven days, Strucker and Dr. List had been observing Bruce's behavior. But so far, they had not found any abnormalities, no matter how small.
"Pierce has been very cautious. Seven days have already passed, and he has been very law-abiding," Dr. List said, his brows furrowed deeply.
Because the twins were already in a very unstable state prior to Bruce coming here, during these seven days of observation, they were forced to use all sorts of methods to stabilize them.
The longer they took and the more they hesitated, the more unstable the twins would become, and in turn the more dangerous and less valuable.
In fact, at this point their berserk and unstable state had already become a lot more difficult to restrain, and soon they wouldn't be able to even if they wanted to.
"I need to observe him for a longer period," Strucker said, obviously deciding that being careful was the priority even if said man was personally recommended by Pierce.
"Boom!" Right at that moment, the entire room shook.
"Boom!"
In two large transparent rooms, a man and a woman were continuously attacking the glass walls as if they had gone mad.
The woman's body emitted red lights, and her entire body was suspended in the air. As for the specially made glass wall, it was on the verge of splitting apart under her attacks.
In the other room, a man kept running at an incredibly fast pace, making normal people unable to see his movements. They could only briefly catch the indistinct shadow he leaves behind sometimes.
His speed had exceeded the range that the monitor could observe, making the monitoring equipment useless in this case.
"Boom!~"
The two rooms kept shaking, and the face of the surrounding HYDRA members changed greatly, for fear that the two would break out.
At this moment, Bruce, who was staying in his room, slowly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face. The twins had finally gone out of control!
"Mr. Strucker, Dr. List, the twins are about to break open their rooms!" A person came to Baron Strucker's side, his face looking extremely pale.
There was nothing they could do about such unstable superpowers.
"Boom!"
At this moment, an even more intense shaking began, making Baron Strucker and Dr. List's expressions even more unsightly.
Before that, they had been using some means to suppress the twins, but now it seemed that they had finally become unable to suppress them any longer.
Although with their current force, they still had some ways to deal with the twins. But if they really fought head-on with the twins, the damage they would sustain would be far too great.
"Doctor, you go and put away the scepter, I'll go see what that Bruce can really do." Strucker finally made his decision, and walked out the door as soon as he gave the Doctor his orders.
He was still very careful and suspected that Bruce's goal could be Loki's scepter, so he decided to kill two birds with one stone by safeguarding the scepter and letting Bruce do his job at the same time.
Dr. List returned to the research room and locked the scepter in a safe box very carefully.
"Boom!"
The shaking continued, but Bruce merely sat cross-legged inside his room, relaxing.
"Mr. Bruce, we need your help!" At this moment, Baron Strucker suddenly opened the door and yelled anxiously at Bruce.
Bruce opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face,"what's happening Baron, is there an earthquake?"
Upon seeing Bruce's unhurried expression, Strucker appeared to become even more anxious. At the same time though, he was also sure that Bruce definitely had some way to deal with this situation.
"Come with me." He didn't explain and directly led Bruce to where the twins were.
Bruce followed him through numerous lines of defense, and the rumblings grew louder and louder as he came closer to his destination.
Finally, three minutes later, Bruce arrived in front of the two huge transparent rooms. This place was already filled with HYDRA agents holding submachine guns, who appeared to be preparing to attack as soon as the twins broke out.
But their weapons were all non-lethal, as HYDRA still wanted that power.
At this moment, as Bruce looked at the two transparent rooms, he finally saw the twins, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch!
"Boom!"
Once again, the ground shook even more intensely this time, before the glass wall in front of the Scarlet Witch finally exploded.
The red-colored magic power rushed out, and all of the HYDRA agents immediately fell down, as weak as kittens in front of that power.
In the other room, Quicksilver also managed to break out at that time, and with his speed, capturing him was going to prove to be an impossible task.
"Mr. Bruce," Strucker was also desperate now, as this crisis was almost unprecedented for HYDRA.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Quicksilver had already arrived in front of him.
