Chapter 164 - 158

Fury POV (Helicarrier)

Why the fuck are a team of actual super criminals running around my helicarrier during all this shit? What is Waller's game she wouldn't do anything to help for no reason unless it was some America first bullshit or it somehow served her in some way. Rick Flag would have made a great Shield agent if Waller hadn't gotten her claws into him first. Rick Flag is the kind of man willing to die for his convictions without having to be brainwashed unlike Hydra. Seeing them flushing out enemy agents and aiding loyal agents I knew that they were temporarily on our side but what I really needed to know was what was their actual objective.

His team worked with brutal efficiency and if I didn't know better I would have assumed that they worked like this for years. This wasn't the case it was just Rick's influence on these super scum he had a natural talent for taming and guiding them to work together. I wondered if he was some type of niche super that naturally extended to whatever team he was working with. None of them needed to talk to each other much and somehow seemed to understand what to do during actual combat which was was odd since none of them worked together before and should have had some difficulty or at least disregard for team coordination.

As I watched them work while sending support to agents support those who were too far away from Waller's cronies and in need of assistance I noticed something odd. While Rick remained at either the center of the team or covering the rear he always kept his eyes more on the cameras watching rather than the carnage around him.

"Shit... Natasha I need you down their immediately keep an eye on our supposed back up they're more concerned with cameras than with the fight going on around them. They're clearly clocking us and more than likely stealing under the guise of support"

Natasha: On it, Maria Hill can stay here to support you

So apparently Natasha thinks that another double agent is still hiding among us and is warning me to only trust Maria Hill as felt the need to say her whole name instead of referring to her as agent Hill. It also means that the rest were just as likely to stab us in the back as we both gave each other a look and a nod but gave nothing else away.

Working seemingly entirely focused on rescuing fellow agents and stopping sabotage by counter agents. I spotted two traitors among those still in the room with me when I gave an order for them to three of them to stop someone from blowing up a flight engine but hesitated to follow my orders and instead glancing to a fellow agent who gave a subtle nod. It was clear that we were already more fucked than I initially thought.

Gwen Stacy POV (New York personal apartment)

After a day of classes and catching petty criminals I wanted to just lay down and unwind shut off my mind for a few hours probably doom scrolling. Looking at my phone I see a few messages from Miles complaining about the plan and trying to find another way something about Julian's mind voodoo he does to women. Honestly Miles needs to calm down as were not even sure the plan was going to work in the first place. We were already working on back up plans should I not even get the internship in the first place.

Besides if Julian is picking based solely on looks than I probably won't get picked since he already went through a blonde girl phase considering the thousand that used to live with him. His new interest seems to be red heads as more keep popping up around him so he might just pick Barda which would probably make her happy as she seemed desperate for the internship. Looking through my email I immediately noticed the one at the very top my inbox said Black tech internship program.

Barbra Gordon POV (Gotham University Dorm)

"I did it! FUCK you Gwen! HAHAHA! Okay maybe that last part was over the line... but still I got the internship!"

Reading the email once again I was excited to have the internship... for the plan of course! Definitely because of the plan and not because I beat out a certain blonde that barely seemed interested in the class that the guys seemed to drool over. It certainly had nothing to do with proving both Bruce and Alfred wrong when they told me to drop it; and I certainly wasn't influenced by Dick telling me this more about my ego and my competitiveness against Gwen because that would be incredibly petty. My ego wasn't so delicate that I could loose my shit about some music major becoming a genius in biochemistry as soon as she sat down in class.

Lady Mechanika POV (office in Gotham)

Before leaving for Symkaria I approved a few intern applications not many were really all that impressive but there were still exceptions. Two of which were Gwen Stacy and Barbara Gordon I was supposed to approve one or the other but it appeared that they seemed to thrive in a semi competitive atmosphere. Getting special permission from Miranda we made a special exception allowing both into the program. Miranda thought they could act as a good distraction for Julian so he doesn't just summon another lunatic scientist to fill in the gaps of the company without consulting her. Speaking of said lunatic it was time to check on omni-tool to see if she is looking at something dangerous or at least something I need to report to Miranda... again...
