Ch: 11 [Interlude- Captain Carter pt1]

AN: A bit late, but here you go.

*****

Today was supposed to be the day Captain Carter finally took a break from her work as a superhero and went on a long-awaited date with Brian as Peggy. She had even dressed in a beautiful blue classic dress, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. But just as she was about to head out, her phone rang, and the caller ID displayed the name "Richard Reeds."

Curiosity tinged with a touch of apprehension washed over her as she answered the call. Reed Richards was a trusted ally and the leader of the Fantastic Four, and he rarely contacted her unless it was something urgent.

"Hello, Richard. What's going on?" Captain Carter greeted, her voice filled with both anticipation and concern.

"Captain Carter, I apologize for interrupting your day off, but we have a situation that requires your immediate attention," Richard's voice sounded urgent and serious. "We've received credible information about Hydra's base. Intel shows Red Skull has been spotted entering the facility. And who knows him better than you?"

Peggy's excitement about her date quickly faded, replaced by a sense of duty and urgency. The mere mention of Hydra and the Red Skull made her lose her cool as old and painful memories flowed into her head.

"I understand, Richard," she replied, her voice steady and determined. "I'll be there as soon as I can. Please provide me with the location and any additional details you have."

Richard quickly shared the coordinates and briefed her on the information they had gathered so far. Hydra's base was well-hidden and heavily fortified, making it a challenging target. The Red Skull's presence only added another layer of danger and complexity to the mission.

"Johnny and Black Bolt will join you," He added.

She listened attentively, taking note of the additional support Richard mentioned. Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, and Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhumans, were powerful allies who would undoubtedly enhance their chances of success.

"I'll rendezvous with them and proceed to the location immediately," She replied with a tint of seriousness.

As she hung up the call, Captain Carter's mind shifted into full mission mode. Her date with Brian would have to wait once again. Duty called, and she couldn't ignore the threat Hydra posed.

She dashed to the roof where the aircraft was already waiting for her.

Captain Carter swiftly made her way to the waiting aircraft, her mind focused on the mission at hand. The familiar rush of adrenaline coursed through her veins as she boarded the vehicle, her determination unwavering. The pilot greeted her with a nod, recognizing the urgency in her eyes, and the aircraft took off, soaring into the sky.

During the flight, she reviewed the gathered intel, analyzing the layout of the Hydra base and strategizing the best course of action. She mentally prepared herself for the potential dangers that awaited her, knowing that the Red Skull's presence indicated a high level of threat.

'Finally found you. You will pay for what you did to Steve and Bucky,' she thought with a glint of anger in her eyes.

Soon, the aircraft reached the designated rendezvous point where Johnny Storm and Black Bolt were waiting. Captain Carter acknowledged their presence with a nod of camaraderie before they embarked on the final leg of their journey together.

The trio arrived near the Hydra base, hidden from sight but within striking distance.

The hidden Hydra base was nestled deep within a remote mountain region, carefully chosen to maximize secrecy and protection. The towering peaks and dense forests provided a natural camouflage, shielding the base from prying eyes.

The base itself was built into the rugged terrain, seamlessly blending with the surroundings. Its entrance was cleverly concealed behind a massive rocky outcrop, making it nearly impossible to detect without prior knowledge of its location. Thick layers of reinforced steel and concrete formed a formidable barrier, ensuring the base remained impenetrable to all but the most determined and skilled intruders.

The base was equipped with state-of-the-art technology, a testament to Hydra's dedication to achieving its sinister goals. Surveillance cameras and security systems were strategically placed, covering every angle to detect any potential threats. Guard posts were stationed at key positions, armed with advanced weaponry, and trained to respond swiftly and decisively.

A network of underground tunnels and chambers extended deep into the mountain, providing additional layers of defense and serving as storage areas for Hydra's nefarious operations. These tunnels were labyrinthine in nature, deliberately designed to confuse and disorient intruders, with multiple hidden entrances and exits.

As Captain Carter, Johnny Storm, and Black Bolt observed the hidden Hydra base from their vantage point, they could sense the palpable aura of danger emanating from within. It was a formidable fortress, protected by Hydra's loyal soldiers and advanced technology.

But they were prepared to face the challenge head-on, their determination unwavering. With their combined skills and powers, they were ready to infiltrate the base, dismantle Hydra's operations, and confront the Red Skull himself.

Taking a deep breath, Captain Carter focused her mind, preparing herself for the imminent battle ahead. She glanced at her allies, their eyes filled with determination, and nodded in silent solidarity.

"It's time," she said, her voice filled with resolve. "Let's bring down Hydra once and for all."

"How do you want to proceed, Captain?" Johnny asked, "Should we enter with a big bang because with those sensors lying in and out... There is no way to go in silent?"

"Do it," Captain Carter looked toward Black Bolt and nodded.

Black Bolt nodded in response, his voice known for its destructive power remaining silent for the moment. His presence alone carried a sense of foreboding, and Captain Carter trusted his judgment. She turned her attention back to Johnny Storm.

"Johnny, I want you to keep an eye on the sky. Stop anyone who tries to escape," she instructed, her voice firm.

Johnny grinned mischievously, already knowing what she had in mind. "Consider it done, Cap," he replied confidently.

With their plan in motion, Captain Carter, Johnny Storm, and Black Bolt began their assault on the hidden Hydra base.

Johnny flew into the sky with a blaze of flames.

Black Bolt walked over to the thick steel gate, protecting the base.

With a simple gesture from Black Bolt, the air around him crackled with energy, and a powerful shockwave reverberated through the surroundings. The force unleashed by his voice shook the very foundation of the Hydra base, causing the reinforced steel gate to buckle and shatter, granting them access.

As the gate fell to the ground in a twisted heap of metal, Captain Carter wasted no time. She sprinted forward, shield in hand, leading the charge into the base. Johnny Storm followed close behind, soaring through the air and unleashing waves of scorching flames to disorient and disable any Hydra agents in their path.

The base came alive with activity as Hydra soldiers scrambled to respond to the unexpected assault. Alarms blared, and the sound of gunfire filled the air. Captain Carter skillfully deflected bullets with her shield, swiftly disabling her adversaries with precise strikes. Johnny's flames engulfed Hydra soldiers, leaving them immobilized and desperate to extinguish the unrelenting fire.

Black Bolt's presence alone was enough to instill fear in the hearts of their enemies. With each step he took, the air quivered, and the ground trembled beneath his feet. His silent power was an overwhelming force, capable of reducing structures to rubble and opponents to helplessness. The Hydra soldiers quickly realized the futility of their resistance as Black Bolt incapacitated them with a mere glance.

Navigating the labyrinthine tunnels of the Hydra base, they pressed forward, relentlessly dismantling Hydra's operations. They encountered booby traps, hidden passages, and heavily guarded rooms, but their teamwork and unwavering determination saw them through every obstacle.

As they advanced deeper into the base, the presence of the Red Skull grew more palpable. The air became heavy with his malevolence, and whispers of his plans echoed through the corridors. Captain Carter's grip on her shield tightened, her resolve hardened with each step. She knew that the final confrontation was imminent, and she was prepared to face her old nemesis head-on.

Finally, they reached the heart of the Hydra base, a vast chamber that housed the Red Skull's operations. It was a hive of activity, with Hydra agents scurrying about, carrying out the orders of their enigmatic leader. The room was filled with advanced technology, monitors displaying surveillance feeds, and crates containing stolen artifacts and powerful weaponry.
