Before I go with Maria, Steve, and Sam, I pull Nat aside before she drives to Shield/Hydra headquarters. "Nat, I will be there on comms and watching on surveillance; if I see anything start to go wrong, I am teleporting to you and helping you. No two ways about it. Yes, I know you are an Avenger, a former Russian Spy, and a very trained Assassin, but I won't let you get injured again."
"Hadley, that is super sweet of you, but I will be fine. But, knowing you, you won't let the ones you really care about get hurt, especially if you can stop it. So fine, you can come and help me but only if it looks like I am pretty badly outnumbered or too many of them are armed or something like that. Deal?" Nat responds.
"Deal!" I say happily, hoping that everything goes as planned and I won't have to engage.
"Good luck Nat!" "Good luck, Hads!" I hug Nat before walking to headquarters with Maria, Steve, and Sam.
Once we are outside, I see headquarters in the distance. "Wow! We are really not that far!" I say, amazed.
After walking for 15 minutes or so, we arrive on the edge of the property out of sight of any cameras or anything. "Hadley, it's your lucky day! Can you please teleport us up to Tech?" says Maria. "Yay, finally!"
I hold Maria and Steve's hands, and Steve holds Sam's shoulder and I don't close my eyes this time because I know the place by heart. I picture just outside of the Tech department door, and we all arrive there!
"Thanks, Hads," says Maria in a whisper. "My pleasure!" I whisper back.
Then Maria and Sam hold out their guns, and Steve gets his shield ready just in case. I don't feel like I need to get my powers ready because I am standing next to three incredible fighters.
Then a Shield, possibly Hydra person, opens the door and is shocked to see us. Steve says, "Excuse us." The person I now am 60% sure is Shield, raises his arms in the air as though he is being arrested, and we walk in.
Steve gets on the PA and says, "Attention all Shield agents, this is Steve Rogers. You've heard a lot about me over the last few days. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time you know the truth. Shield is not what we thought it was. It's been taken over by Hydra. Alexander Pierce is their leader. The Strike and Insight crew are Hydra as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing right next to you. They almost have what they want. Absolute control. They shot Nick Fury. And it won't end there. If you launch those helicarriers today, Hydra will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way. Unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot. But the price of freedom is high. It always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I am the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not."
Then he steps away from the PA, and I give him a high five. "Did you write that down first, or was it off the top of your head?" asks Sam impressed. Steve shrugs and says "It just comes naturally. Now come on!"
Then Steve and Sam take off to insert the chips leaving Maria and me to watch surveillance. "They're initiating launch," says Maria.
After a moment or so, I'm watching surveillance and also listening to the conversation happening in the Council room, when I see Pierce draw a gun on one of the council members and I watch Nat posing as the Councilwoman kicks the Councilman out of the line of fire and start fighting.
I don't teleport yet because I want to wait to see if Nat has everything under control so I don't make everything worse by appearing.
Nat pointing her gun at Pierce clicks the button by her right temple to undo her facial concealment veil. Then she says "I'm sorry." she takes off the veil revealing herself, she takes off her wig and she adds "Did I step on your moment?"
