The way Hydra's people wanted to take back the Winter Soldiers was very simple.
There was only one key person, and that was Sharon Carter.
Originally, Baron Straker didn't notice Sharon.
Although she was an agent of S.H.E.L.D., there were so many S.H.E.L.D. agents.
It was impossible for him to notice every one of them.
But in addition to being an agent of S.H.E.L.D., Sharon Carter had another identity.
She was Paige Carter's niece.
In addition to being one of the founders of S.H.E.L.D., Paige Carter was an Englishwoman.
She was also Tony's father, Howard Stark.
She had become a good friend of Sergeant Baki Barnes, who had become Winter Soldiers. She also had a close relationship with Captain America Steve.
Sharon wanted to get close to the Avengers because she was Paige Carter's niece.
She had an advantage over other S.H.E.L.D. agents.
And Baron Straker was eyeing Sharon because of this.
Originally, Baron Straker thought about whether to create an opportunity for Sharon to get close to the Avengers openly. When the time was right, he would brainwash her into carrying out the mission.
But who knew that just as he was about to doze off,
Someone sent him a pillow. And the 'someone' here was none other than the people of S.H.E.L.D..
Baron Straker didn't know if Nick Fury, the director of S.H.E.L.D., had the same wishful thinking as him. He wanted to play the emotional card to let Sharon get close to Steve and the others smoothly (and persuade them), or he was worried that other people's backgrounds were not clean. After all, no matter how hard he tried, there was no guarantee that no one in S.H.E.L.D. would escape the net.
But no matter what Fury's reason was,
He sent Sharon and Phil Coulson to the Avengers Mansion to talk to Steve and the others about the fact that the verdict was a done deal.
This way, it saved Baron Straker a lot of effort.
This was because he had never been the one to send Sharon to the Avengers Mansion.
Or were they Hydra spies still lurking in S.H.E.L.D.?
None of them intervened.
It was Fury himself who personally called out names and assigned tasks.
For this reason, coupled with Sharon's own advantages, Baron Straker believed that it would not be difficult for her to enter the Avengers Mansion without arousing suspicion and smoothly approach the Winter Soldiers.
In fact, the development of the situation was almost the same as what he had guessed. In order to avoid any unexpected events, Baron Straker had already sent someone to brainwash Sharon, and today was the day she would take action.
Therefore, whether or not they could successfully rescue the Winter Soldiers would depend on today. If they failed, not only the Avengers, but even S.H.E.L.D. would be on high alert.
After all, they did want to bring the Winter Soldiers back to S.H.E.L.D., but this did not mean that they were not on the same side as the Avengers.
The Avengers were worried that the Winter Soldiers would fall into the hands of Hydra again, and S.H.E.L.D. was also worried and vigilant.
George Bartok the Hopper: "…???"
In that case, here comes the question — —
At such a tense moment, why did the boss have the leisure to go out for a meal?
Bartok, who was driving to "My Chinese Restaurant", glanced at Baron Straker in the back seat from the rearview mirror and couldn't help but ask curiously.
After hearing Bartok's question, Baron Straker seemed to be even more curious about why he was curious about this question. He said, "Your question makes me feel stupid to answer you."
As a human, what's wrong with him going out for a meal? Or did someone give him the misconception that he was relying on air to maintain his vitality for three meals a day?
"No."
Bartok quickly explained, "Aren't you worried about Chiasma?"
Winter Soldiers was not only an important "asset" of Hydra, but he was also a target that Baron Straker had been coveting for a long time. Bartok's subordinates might not know this, but Bartok and the others knew very well that their boss wanted to get the Winter Soldiers' brainwashing message from Chiasma time and time again.
This time, the kidnapping of the Winter Soldiers gave Baron Straker an opportunity to successfully get the brainwashing message from Winter Soldiers.
Bartok and the others were still wondering what Baron Straker would do to Chiasma after getting the brainwashing message. However, they never expected that not only did Baron Straker not take the opportunity to deal with Chiasma, but he also let him take full responsibility for this operation. It seemed like Baron Straker trusted him a lot.
Bartok: "…???"
Did Boss forget that he had a history of dribbling (… …) when he had a crossbone?
"Don't worry."
Baron Straker said confidently, "He won't do anything."
Unless he planned to never eat Issou's Chinese food again for the rest of his life, otherwise …
He dared to run.
He dared to send someone to "My Chinese Restaurant".
Considering the delicious taste of Issou's Chinese food, Baron Straker swore that he would definitely catch them.
Leaper didn't know why Baron Straker was so confident, but compared to his confidence, he had a bad premonition.
This bad feeling became more and more obvious as he got closer to "My Chinese Restaurant". As far as he knew …
After Baron Straker went to "My Chinese Restaurant" for the first time, Hydra lost William Straker as an ally.
The last time he went to "My Chinese Restaurant" with Chiasma, not only was he beaten up by the Winter Soldiers (together with Chiasma), but Hydra also lost an important "asset" like the Winter Soldiers.
Bartok: "…"
Therefore, it wasn't that the chef of "My Chinese Restaurant" had magical powers and could make delicious Chinese food. It should be that the chef of "My Chinese Restaurant" could cast a spell to subdue Hydra, right?
Otherwise, why did other people only need to pay to eat at "My Chinese Restaurant", but Hydra had to pay so much to eat at "My Chinese Restaurant"?
It turned out that Bartok was right.
But …
It wasn't that the chef of "My Chinese Restaurant" specialized in countering Hydra, but that the waiter of "My Chinese Restaurant", Peter's Spider Sense specialized in countering supervillains' aliases.
Moriarty, who had the tightest cover, had his cover blown to ashes on the spot as soon as he touched Peter.
But then again, Peter, who replaced Issou as the new generation of aliases, wasn't too happy, because he suddenly discovered …
More than half of Issou's friends, neighbors, and diners would trigger his Spider Sense.
Peter: "…!!!"
It was terrifying.
The Spider Sense that just sounded because of the appearance of the Winter Soldiers rang again. Peter, who hadn't seen Baron Straker and Bartok, naturally didn't know their identities, but this didn't prevent him from casting a suspicious and vigilant look at them because of the Spider Sense.
Baron Straker, who was targeted by Peter with his aliases cheating device: "…"
Would he be able to give that jinxed Jumper a good beating until the sun came up?!
Unlike Peter, who only knew that Baron Straker and Bartok were in danger but didn't know who they were, Baron Straker and Bartok knew Peter's identity and what his superpower was.
Thus, no matter how well Peter concealed his suspicious and vigilant gaze, the moment they saw his face, Straker and Leaper were certain that — — — — — —
Their aliases were in danger.
"Boss, are we leaving now?"
Bartok, who was following Baron Straker, asked in a low voice. Since the Spider-man was unwilling to expose his identity, they could take advantage of this opportunity to leave quickly.
"No need."
Baron Straker didn't expect that Spider-man would become a waiter here in just a few days after they stopped coming to "My Chinese Restaurant". As soon as he entered the door, his aliases were on the verge of shattering.
But even so, Baron Straker still refused Bartok's proposal. He said, "He doesn't know who we are yet."
He was certain of this from Peter's reaction.
Bartok: "…???"
Is this the reason?
Baron Straker didn't know what Bartok was thinking. After he finished speaking, he continued to walk inside. When he bumped into Issou, who was about to return to the kitchen, he greeted her in a gentle tone.
He said, "We meet again, Issou."
Seeing that it was Baron Straker, the black-haired girl also smiled and greeted him. She then asked, "Have you been busy recently? Mr. Straker, I haven't seen you eat in the past few days. "
"I've been a little busy."
Baron Straker first nodded to Issou, then smiled and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to suffer for the past few days."
Hearing his words, Issou couldn't help but laugh. After noticing the Bartok standing next to him, she asked, "Is this also your bodyguard?"
After seeing Baron Straker nod, Issou couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Straker, are you planning to recruit a bodyguard team?"
The black-haired girl noticed that every time Baron Straker came to "My Chinese Restaurant", the bodyguards around him seemed to be different people, but they all had one thing in common, and that was —
Handsome!
They could even form a bodyguard team.
After hearing Issou's words, Baron Straker didn't say anything, but the Bartok next to him couldn't help but laugh first. He raised one of his eyebrows at the black-haired girl, then nodded to her in agreement.
Seeing this, the smile on Yi Su's lips became even wider.
Because it was the afternoon rush hour, the black-haired girl didn't talk much with Baron Straker. After greeting each other, she turned around and went back to the kitchen.
Peter, who had roughly determined that the people who made his spider sensor ring were Baron Straker and the Bartok, originally wanted to tell Tony about this matter, but when he saw Issou talking and laughing with the two dangerous people, he turned around and walked into the kitchen.
"Peter?"
Seeing the little spider come in with her, Issou, who was seasoning the chicken soup, looked at him curiously and asked, "What's the matter?"
"That …"
Peter didn't hesitate and chose to go straight to the point. He asked, "Issou, do you have a good relationship with them?"
"They?"
When the black-haired girl heard Peter's words, she felt that his words sounded familiar. She asked, "Are you talking about Mr. Straker and the others?"
Straker?
Why does this surname sound so familiar?
Peter memorized Baron Straker's surname and nodded.
"Pretty good."
Issou heard this and said, "Mr. Straker was originally a customer of our Chinese restaurant. Later, we met outside one day, and he helped me a lot."
Because it wasn't something that couldn't be said, the black-haired girl told Peter about the robbery, how Baron Straker and his bodyguard, Grant, helped her chase away the bad guys and sent her home safely.
But after Yi Su finished speaking, she suddenly reacted. She made an 'eh' sound and then said, "Wait, why do I feel like this rhythm is a little familiar?"
The black-haired girl turned to look at Peter and asked, "Peter, are you going to tell me that Mr. Straker and the others made your spider sense ring again?"
"Uh."
When he heard Issou's question, Peter nodded silently. He said, "It's because it rang that I came to ask you."
After that, the little spider added, "And when I heard you call him Mr. Straker, I suddenly remembered someone with the surname Straker."
Issou asked, "Who?"
Peter said, "The leader of the Hydra — Baron Straker."
Issou: "…!!!???"
Wait a minute.
'Who are you talking about?!'
Although the black-haired girl didn't say it out loud, what she wanted to say was written all over her face. Peter, who understood what she meant at a glance, said, "Yes, it's the leader of the Hydra, Baron Straker."
The little spider wasn't worried that Issou didn't know who the Hydra was. After all, because of the incident with the Winter Soldiers, not only Issou, but even Pietro and the others also knew about the existence of the Hydra.
When Peter felt that the surname Straker sounded familiar, he didn't associate him with the leader of the Hydra. But once he realized who it was, all the shackles on his memory were instantly unlocked.
For example, because he hadn't seen anyone suspected of being a Hydra for a long time, he forgot that Tony and the others once told him about a Hydra stronghold nearby.
Another example was the Hydra leader with the surname Straker. He didn't have any direct contact with him or even know what he looked like.
Considering that this Mr. Straker (and his bodyguard) not only had the surname Straker, but also appeared near a Hydra stronghold, more importantly — —
They (they) made his spider sense ring.
In summary, Peter felt that the identity of this Baron Straker was almost obvious.
Thinking of this, Peter said to Issou, "Mr. Stark and Sergeant Barnes are outside, I'll go out and ask them."
If this Mr. Straker is really Baron Straker, not to mention whether Tony knows what the Hydra leader looks like, at least the Winter Soldiers should be able to recognize him.
In fact, Dong Bing wasn't the only one who recognized Baron Straker the moment he saw him. Even Tony recognized him after taking a few more glances.
The superhero, who was too lazy to argue with the people of S.H.E.L.D., didn't expect that he would meet the leader of Hydra when he just brought Sergeant Barnes to "my Chinese restaurant" for a meal.
Baron Straker.
"Very good, it seems that today is a very good day to go out for a meal."
Tony thought that when people got lucky, they really couldn't stop it. Thinking about how S.H.E.L.D. put in a lot of effort to catch Hydra, but in the end, their base almost became a hotbed for the other party.
Thinking about how Steve used tricks to bring Winter Soldiers back to the Avengers Mansion and got the location of the Hydra stronghold nearby from him, but when they arrived, the Hydra had already run away.
But what about him?
He was just going out for a leisurely meal, and in the end, he "picked up" two Hydras.
One of them was the big boss of Hydra.
Tony: "…"
It seemed that he would have to come to "my Chinese restaurant" more often in the future. Who knew when he would be able to "pick up" another one.
The other Avengers: "…"
It was as if he rarely came before he "picked up" Hydra.
Thinking about his small belly that was expanding day by day like his weight.
Clint Didn't Eat Anything · Got Dissed · Barton: "…???"
It could be said that he was very innocent, okay?
Back to the topic, while Tony was lamenting his good luck, Baron Straker, who also saw him and Winter Soldiers, had the exact same idea.
He thought that when people were unlucky, even drinking cold water would get stuck in their teeth.
Originally, he thought that he could barely keep his cover when he encountered Peter, who could sense danger but didn't know their identities, but now it seemed that …
They were overthinking it.
“boss。”
The jumper, who also saw Tony and the Winter Soldiers next to him, whispered to Baron Straker, "Should I stall them so that you can leave first?"
They could run together when they first met Peter, but they couldn't when they met Tony.
There was no other way.
The former needed to disguise his identity, but the latter didn't have this scruple at all.
"No need."
After hearing the jumper's words, Baron Straker refused him again. He said, "Since Iron Man has recognized us, it's useless to leave."
Jumper: "…!!!"
He was sure that whether others recognized them or not, this wasn't the reason. The real reason was —
He! Was! Of! Boss！ Of! No! Down! One! Mouth! Eat! Of!
Although the jumper had already noticed it before, even so, when he really faced this fact, he couldn't help but want to grab Baron Straker's shoulder and shake him violently —
Boss！
Wake up!
Is your life more important now, or is it more important to eat?!
Ugh.
Considering that Baron Straker was wary of Peter and didn't intend to leave even after being recognized by the Winter Soldiers and Tony, it was better not to ask the question because the answer given by his boss would definitely not be what he wanted.
It was just that although the jumper was a little tired that his boss was willing to sacrifice his life for a bite of food, considering that Baron Straker was now his immediate boss, and he had no intention of jumping ship for the time being, he couldn't help but persuade him again.
Unfortunately, before he could speak, he heard Baron Straker say, "Send a text message to Chiasma and tell them to stop."
Since the Winter Soldiers were in "My Chinese Restaurant", Chiasma and the others could only return empty-handed.
In that case, there was no need to continue the operation.
After that, he said again, "Also, send a text message to Ward and ask him to bring his men over."
Hearing Baron Straker's words, the jumper sent a text message to Chiasma and Grant while secretly thinking in his heart —
Did he misunderstand the boss?
The boss is not willing to leave "My Chinese Restaurant" for a bite of food, but he doesn't want to lose to the superheroes?
As a former mercenary and current Hydra soldier, although the jumper had a strong sense of honor, he didn't think there was anything wrong with letting his boss (employer) escape first in times of danger.
But considering that Baron Straker was the leader of Hydra, according to his current status, running away with his tail between his legs did seem a little low.
So after sending a text message to Grant and the others, the jumper said to Baron Straker, "Boss, don't worry, I've already asked Grant and the others to arrive as soon as possible."
Baron Straker: "…???"
"Arrive as soon as possible for what?"
The leader of Hydra looked at his subordinates and said, "I won't finish my meal so quickly."
Jumper: "…???"
Didn't the boss plan to use the delaying tactic to stall Iron Man and the Winter Soldiers first, and then fight them head-on?!
Perhaps it was because the truth was too "cruel", the dizzy jumper had unknowingly said what was on his mind.
Hearing the question, Baron Straker gestured for him to look at Tony and the Winter Soldiers at the opposite table. He said, "Are you sure we need to use the delaying tactic?"
Hearing this, the jumper turned his head to look at the opposite table and saw that Tony and the Winter Soldiers, who had clearly discovered them, were focused on eating the chicken soup that had just been served.
Even though Peter looked anxious to inform them, he! Was! Also! Half! Of! Were! Not! Had! Wanted! Caught! He! Was! Of! Will! Thought!
Seeing this, the jumper couldn't help but ask in his heart —
Who is he?
Where is he?
