Harry Potter: Syndicate of Heroes

"Good," Steve nodded. "What about Banner? Or Harry?"

"We're not currently tracking Banner, but we believe that he's somewhere in South America. He knows to ring me if he needs something. Even if it's just a lift home," Bobbi replied. "Harry went straight to Malibu as soon as he heard what had happened. As far as I'm aware, Potts is keeping him updated."

While Steve didn't know Bruce all that well, he couldn't imagine the guy ringing up S.H.I.E.L.D. simply to ask for transportation. The fact that Harry was already in the loop at least eased his mind somewhat.

"Alright. Keep me informed," Steve said as the two began their track back across the tarmac.

ooo00ooo

The majority of the room was darkened, only the small downlights dotted about the walls shed any light. Consequently, the group of men seated at the table were mostly in shadow. Despite that, everyone there knew who the others were; really how could they not – they were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, trained to know such things, even if their real allegiance was not to the spy organisation but to something older, something more powerful and more insidious.

For seventy years, their organisation had been hiding in plain sight, manipulating events as they saw fit, subtly influencing the way the world should work and eliminating the threats that cropped up from time to time.

And now, their greatest project was nearing completion. Project Insight, designed to eliminate any threat before that threat even reared its head. Hundreds, thousands could be wiped off the face of the planet in mere seconds. And once the Helicarriers with the algorithm embedded into it were launched, there would be nothing that could stop them.

They could once and for all come out of the shadows into the light. There would be no need for HYDRA to remain hidden any longer.

But there was one potential obstacle. One that could still disrupt their plans even after the Insight Helicarriers were launched. One that the helicarriers could miss.

The Avengers.

The seven superheroes who believed that it was their duty to stand up and defend the world.

Thus, the meeting that was taking place.

Just as a hydra was a beast of many heads, HYDRA itself made sure that it had not only many heads, but also many plans.

"Report on Project Sinister," their highest-ranking member ordered.

"Project Sinister is on track to be ready on time," the agent in charge reported. "Doctor Sterns is currently undergoing tests. S.H.I.E.L.D. thinks that they are attempting to understand what happened to him, what enhanced his brain capacity to such a level. What we are really doing is helping the doctor to increase his transformation, training him to use his vast intellect to its fullest potential.

"Colonel Blonsky is under cryo-stasis at a facility in Alaska. His guards are minimal and will be easily breached at the appropriate time.

"Agent Ward gathered the intel that we needed from Oscorp. We now possess the full technical specifications of every single off-the-books project that they have engineered. Our tech department assures me that they will have working prototypes of every device we need within six to eight months."

"What of the personnel to use them?" their leader asked.

"Mister Myers has been successfully recruited and is undergoing training with his new weapons as we speak," he was answered. "Of the remaining five that we're hoping for, we have identified two and have begun the recruiting process."

"Who are these men?" the shadow third from the left asked.

"The first is Sergei Kravinoff. Mister Kravinoff has enhanced strength, speed, endurance, agility and stamina. He is a gifted hunter; having spent decades stalking and eliminating the most dangerous of prey known to man. It doesn't seem as though it will take much to convince him that the Avengers will make the ultimate of prey for him to hunt.

"The second is Herman Shultz. Shultz was one of the original designers of a piece of technology that Oscorp appropriated and enhanced. The layman's terms, it generates vibrations, either through the suit itself or just the gauntlets that can be worn with or without the suit. Nothing can hold it and it can disrupt physical attacks. In addition, the gauntlets can shoot out concentrated vibrations of air molecules."

"They sound acceptable choices," their leader nodded. "And the remaining three?"

"We are still considering candidates, Sir," he was informed.

"Very well, carry on. Even if Project Insight eliminates the Avengers, there are enough other potential problems that will see your team be an extremely useful asset."

Even in the darkness, the glint of teeth could be seen as those around the table smiled, savouring the idea of what was to come.
