"I knew it." Henry shrugged.
Making a girl who has been filled with hatred for ten years learn to smile from the bottom of her heart in just a few days is even more difficult than making Tony admit that he is not a genius.
"Okay." He sighed, not wanting to pursue the matter any further.
He walked up to Wanda, looked at her eyes, which were still somewhat uneasy and confused, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to see with your own eyes what we are doing?"
Wanda was stunned.
"What?"
Henry repeated, smiling slightly.
"We're planning our first team-building activity. What do you think? Interested in joining us as a spectator?"
"Me? Can I?"
"If I say you can do it, then you can do it."
An hour later, a newly developed fighter jet silently took off from the underground hangar of the Malibu villa and disappeared into the clouds in an instant.
Inside the plane, the atmosphere was somewhat strange.
Tony and Henry sat in the driver's and co-pilot's seats like two supervisors.
Behind them, Banner was nervously debugging a portable holographic computer, muttering to himself, not knowing whether he was checking data or praying.
Blonsky sat quietly with his eyes closed, as he was used to going on missions.
Pietro, wearing his Quicksilver armor, excitedly walked around the cabin, touching things here and there, looking around, like a curious baby visiting the city for the first time. Wanda, on the other hand, sat quietly in the corner.
She changed into a black tight combat suit that Henry had prepared for her, which perfectly outlined her slim figure.
Her face was expressionless, but her eyes were discreetly scanning every person and every corner of the cabin. This was her first time participating in the Stark brothers' actions as a bystander.
She felt nervous, curious, and even a little bit expectant.
In the past, they had hardly any chance to go out in Hydra, and apart from practicing their skills every day, they had no entertainment.
"I still think it was a wrong decision to bring them along." Tony's voice sounded in the private communication channel.
"Especially that little girl. She's like a walking bomb. What if she suddenly loses control of her emotions on the battlefield and tears our plane apart?"
"Don't worry, I'm watching over them," Henry replied lazily.
"Besides, don't you think that letting her see the true face of Hydra with her own eyes would be far more convincing than having her watch the news reports a hundred times in her room?"
Henry was not surprised by Tony's worry.
Tony was badly beaten that day in Sokovia, and his technology did not affect Wanda at all.
Henry thought that perhaps he was suffering from a fear of insufficient firepower.
But no matter what, it's better to bring Wanda out than to keep her at home.
What's more, the Scarlet Witch in the future can't always be a homebody, right?
It's time to let her adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield in advance.
"Okay, okay, you're always right."
"Okay, new employees, pay attention! Let me emphasize again, our destination is a Hydra weapons research and development base in North Africa. According to our research, they are conducting a very dangerous experiment there. Our mission is to rush in and deal with it!"
"Blonsky, you are responsible for the frontal assault. Remember, make a big noise and dismantle all the defence facilities you can see!"
"Yes, sir!" Blonsky's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Tony grunted reluctantly before closing the private channel and clearing his throat.
"Banner, you are responsible for collecting paper documents. I want you to get all their research data within ten minutes."
"I'll try my best." Banner's voice sounded a little lacking in confidence.
"Pietro." Tony looked at Pietro, who was still excited.
"Your mission is reconnaissance and harassment. Use your fastest speed to figure out the terrain of the entire base, and by the way, create a little surprise for those Hydra bastards."
"No problem! Leave it to me!" Pietro patted his chest with a confident look on his face.
"As for you..." Tony's gaze finally fell on Wanda, and his tone became a little complicated.
"Just stay on the plane and don't go anywhere. Um... just watch from the plane. Remember, this is an order."
Wanda moved her lips when she heard this, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she nodded silently.
"Very good." Tony nodded with satisfaction. "Well, everyone..."
"Are you ready to start our first demolition job?"
Following Tony's declaration, the fighter jet instantly entered stealth mode, silently tearing through the clouds over North Africa like a ghost. Below them lay an endless expanse of yellow desert, the scorching air distorting the distant scenery.
Amidst a stretch of sand dunes, a massive building complex disguised as a phosphate mine lies dormant, like a giant steel beast lurking beneath the sea of sand.
"Tsk tsk, I have to say, Hydra is really an expert in disguise."
Tony looked at the real-time images transmitted back on the holographic screen and commented while touching his chin.
"The mining carts, the conveyor belts, and the workers at work-if we hadn't known the coordinates in advance, who would have thought that there was a weapons research and development base hidden beneath this desolate desert?"
"More than an expert." Henry smiled faintly.
These guys have the word "disguise" engraved in their DNA.
But that's true. After all, it is a terrorist organization wanted by the whole world. If it hadn't been more low-key, it would have been wiped out by S.H.I.E.L.D. long ago.
Oh, no, SHIELD is almost becoming a branch of Hydra.
"Okay, sightseeing time is over." Henry's tone became serious.
"All units, please note. Enter the combat zone in five minutes. Repeat the battle plan. Blonsky, you will enter through the main entrance on the east side. Make the most noise, the better. Draw their attention here."
"Got it." Blonsky's low voice came with suppressed excitement.
As a pure warrior, nothing makes his blood boil more than a head-on charge.
"Pietro." Henry continued to give orders.
"You will sneak in through the ventilation duct on the west side. Remember your mission. Then, memorize the internal structure of the base as quickly as possible and mark all possible threat points. If you encounter isolated enemies, you can take them out, but you are absolutely not allowed to linger in the fight."
"Don't worry, boss!" Pietro's voice was full of confidence.
"I guarantee to complete the mission! By the way, what is the definition of clean-up? Is it to knock them out, or... hehehe."
"Just don't leave a complete body behind." Henry shrugged.
"Henry!"
Tony warned angrily, "Don't teach the kid bad things!"
Henry spread his hands, feeling a little speechless.
This guy really has double standards.
Who was the one who was shouting that he wanted to twist everyone's heads off a few days ago?
