In headers, I'll be referring to locations with the following format [Actual Location - i.e. laboratory] (what it's called on the map). If you're confused, just copy from Novikova or Ray's header.

[@Nallore][@Bee][@BlueSky44]: 

	Hawkeye was in command of a five person team: Agent Victoria Thompson (badass), Agent Freddie Flynn (ex-OMEN), Agent Bonnie Chase (biochemistry), and Agent Harry McCormick (communications). The team had been nicknamed the Secret Warriors. Some figured that those on it were on the shortlist for Avengers consideration, but that hadn't quite panned out yet - and most people forgot that Hawkeye was an Avenger at any rate. [color=f6989d]"Agent Reed,"[/color] [url=https://media.giphy.com/media/WSneinQLd5fDa/source.gif]Bonnie[/url] said, giving her old friend a hug. [color=f6989d]"I've got Kennedy,"[/color] Bonnie then said. She had the most medical knowledge of anyone present. 

	Jim wasn't able to hold on much longer and he slipped back into his human form, falling unconscious. Bonnie grabbed a medical kit from her bag and started to attend to him. Clint motioned for the others to stand back and give the team scientist some space to work with. [color=7851A9]"Reed - any chance you and McCormick can get communications with the other team up?"[/color] Hawkeye asked with a frown. He didn't like this. [color=7851A9]"If not...Thompson, Flynn, and myself can go retrieve them."[/color]

[@Kirah][@Nallore]: Niah will hear everything that happened next. There was a new voice in the room where Rhodes and Lee were - feminine, young, perhaps just a teenage girl. [color=silver][i]"I'm bored of this."[/i][/color] Niah would then hear what sounded like a gust of wind, as if it had all rushed at Sami or Griffin at once, and then the sound of a neck snapping. A body dropping to the ground. Moments of silence. And then....a panicked Griffin trying to defend himself against his foe. [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ultimate-marvel-cinematic-universe/images/4/45/Luminous_mai.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20151009061443]His foe? Luminous.[/url] And as luck will have it, a communication will come through on Maria's radio: [i]"OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND INTO THE LIGHT!"[/i]

[@BlueSky44]: Before Sparky could step out into the open on the roof, Nikolai appeared and he grabbed her from behind, putting his hand around her mouth so she couldn't scream. [color=cd0000]"Quiet or we die,"[/color] Nikolai warned. Once he knew that Sparky wouldn't rush forward and would stay in their relatively obscured position - the door to the roof kept just open enough for them to see what was happening - he'd let go of her. The guards were all waiting up on the roof as Von Bardas expected. 

There was then some sort of machine that was vibrating at a painful frequency to hear - and it seemed to be [i]screaming[/i] as if it were alive. It was producing a gigantic beam that was going upwards and hitting the clouds, without any apparent purpose behind it. Yet as an electrical engineer, Sparky would know what it was.

It was a gateway for a quantum tunnel.

	[color=add3ff]"It's a trap, ma'am,"[/color] Novikova told Tinley, staying as calm as she could. She put her glasses back on a moment later, having gotten used to them and she had gotten a bit of a headache from the use of her powers. [color=add3ff]"They knew we were coming...We were sold out..."[/color] The silver haired agent then hesitated, looking around for Sparky and her eyes widened. Her best friend was nowhere to be seen. [color=add3ff]"We can't let anyone go up to the roof or...or...they'll be [i]gone[/i]."[/color] She took another breath. The images were still present in her mind. 

	[color=#AEC906][i]I'm trying to run a goddamn country without the western world deciding to come over here and decide how things should go![/i][/color] Von Bardas mentally snapped at Tinley. However, Tinley would get a glimpse into Von Bardas' thoughts - and they confirmed what Novikova had said. Earlier that day, Von Bardas had received an encrypted communication, warning her that SHIELD would be coming to the facility. 

	It had been HYDRA that tipped her off. 

	[i]Meanwhile...[/i]

	[color=#b28c57]"Uh...what's it look like - saving the world!"[/color] the Tinkerer exclaimed, raising his hands up. Raynor rolled his eyes. He could tell that the Tinkerer was fibbing and he imagined that Tempest would be able to as well. [color=#b28c57]"Well, if you can give me immunity I can...."[/color] Raynor then held up his hand, a ball of light becoming sharp and pointed, almost like a dagger, and the Tinkerer gulped. [color=#b28c57]"Look, I just...I invent! I don't handle the business side of things. We just take scraps from Avengers fights and...put them to use again for whoever can pay."[/color]

	[color=d86615]"And who are your clients?"[/color] Raynor asked, crossing his arms. He already had found out the name of one of the clients - Hellfire - and he knew that wasn't good by any means. The Tinkerer then started to ramble, listing off the names of several major companies and then a dozen of villains - even the Brotherhood was mentioned in the little list of evil. It was the last name that the Tinkerer mentioned that made Raynor's blood run cold. 

	[color=d86615]"You supply...HYDRA?"[/color]
