Chapter Eleven

Red Skull

I was not expecting for her to be as accepting of her Mother’s death as she was. She is stronger than I imagined. I would use her for my team but she is too much of a danger, and without the tesseract, she would be of no use. It has been four hours, forty-five minutes, and there has yet to be any sign of the Avengers. Something is wrong, they wouldn’t let a civilian die, so they would NOT let one of their own kin die. Out of all of them, I would have expected to see Tony Stark by now, with how hard- headed he is. The fool would think he could come in and rescue his daughter all on his own.

“She grows weaker by the minute, Tony. Better come out now before you try to save her when she is already dead.”

Soon, she will be on her last breath of life. Then, possibly my biggest threat will be taken care of. She was what you would call a soldier at heart, never giving up until her mission was complete. Hmm, maybe I’ll revive her after she has died, and “rewire” her brain. In other words, I will have Modoc cause permanent memory loss. She is to be my winning chess piece against the avengers.

“Modoc, cloak our signal.”

“I thought you wanted the Avengers to find us?”

“DO NOT QUESTION ME.”

“Right, sorry. Hail Hydra.”

“Soon, we will have the most valuable member on our team.”

“Wasn’t the plan to kill her?”

“That is only half the plan. After she is dead, she will be revived and you will cause permanent memory loss. Then, Reuben Bailey Stark will no longer be Tony Stark’s daughter, but my protégé.”

“What if she wanders and learns the truth?”

“We will keep her under twenty-four hour surveillance and tell her the Avengers are trying to cause her harm, and that it is for her protection.”

“Our plan will come together perfectly. Hail Hydra!”
