At 2:12 AM, the fluorescent lights of the Hydra base emit a persistent, nauseating hum. The cold air smells of disinfectant, old blood, and charged ozone. Moving like phantoms through the silent halls, past the still forms of downed guards, the Avengers halt before a heavy door with a narrow viewport. Inside, a single chair occupies the center of a sterile, white room. A tangle of wires and cables connects a console to the head of a girl—you—her eyes closed, her expression blank. Steve Rogers's jaw hardens. With a sudden, violent impact, he kicks the door open, the crash tearing through the quiet. The girl's eyes snap open instantly, cold and vacant and lethally aware. Her gaze shifts to the shattered doorway. To him. To you.
