In the VIP ward of New Amsterdam Hospital.
Sharon Carter, who had woken up after about an hour of sleep, refused to sleep any longer. With Gwen's help, she leaned against the headboard, gazing out the window at the night sky.
Sharon was worried.
Gwen, sitting beside her, saw Sharon's troubled expression and smiled, comforting her: "Sharon, don't worry. Since Hawk promised, he definitely won't go back on his word."
It was well known.
If Hawk said someone would die, they would die.
No exceptions.
Guaranteed credibility.
Hearing this, Sharon withdrew her gaze from the window, looked at Gwen, forced a smile, and shook her head: "I'm not worried about that. I'm wondering if I need to find a new job."
Gwen froze.
"What?"
"Do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. will still exist after HYDRA's second struggle, even if things eventually settle down?"
"Uh…"
Gwen fell into thought, listening to Sharon's question.
Just then.
Hawk appeared in the ward, happened to hear Sharon's words, and chuckled, saying, "That's certainly impossible."
Gwen's eyes lit up when she saw Hawk return.
"Hawk."
Sharon also reacted to Hawk's return, supporting herself on the hospital bed, looking at Hawk as if she had something to say but was hesitant.
Hawk knew what Sharon wanted to ask and said directly, "Victoria Hand is fine, and I've helped you get your S.H.I.E.L.D. Operations Command Center back."
Sharon was incredibly excited.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, we're friends. The rest is up to you."
Hawk said with a smile.
Once again.
Sharon was his friend, and Anna was also his friend, in fact, his earliest friend.
And Anna had also promised to help him unleash his anger on the toilets of the island nation.
So…
He planned to do nothing after pulling Dr. Zola's plug, and just stay home with his fiancée, enjoying the show.
"Oh, right."
Hawk remembered Zola, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Sharon: "Before Captain America participated in the Super Soldier Serum experiment, didn't he train at a military Base in New Jersey?"
Sharon subconsciously nodded: "Yes."
Hearing this, Hawk immediately asked: "Do you know which Base? Where is it?"
He knew all the major events that had happened, were happening, and would happen in the Marvel Universe.
But…
He didn't know everything in such detail.
For example, now, he knew that Arnim Zola had converted himself into an electronic life form and had been hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s initial server room for all these years.
But he didn't know the exact location of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s initial Base.
After all, this kind of thing wasn't written in the original movie or history books.
But it was okay.
Others might not know, but Sharon Carter, who was somewhat related to Captain America, surely would.
Indeed!
"Jersey City Third Army Base."
Sharon almost immediately stated the name of the Base where Captain America had trained: "It's thirty kilometers east of Jersey City, but that military Base was abandoned in the 1990s. Why are you asking about it?"
Hawk smiled slightly, didn't answer, but instead looked at Sharon: "How do you feel now?"
Although Sharon was a little curious why Hawk suddenly asked this question, she still nodded.
"Much better."
"That's good."
Hawk nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he seemed to sense something, turning his head to look at the ward door.
The next second.
The door knocked.
Gwen's heart skipped a beat.
"HYDRA?"
"S.H.I.E.L.D."
Hawk said, looking at the knocking ward door: "Come in!"
The ward door was pushed open.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. female Agent he had seen at New York S.H.I.E.L.D. and a S.H.I.E.L.D. male Agent appeared in Hawk's line of sight.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. female Agent looked at Hawk: "Mr. Phoenix."
Hawk nodded.
Sharon, on the bed, heard the voice, craned her neck, and looked at the S.H.I.E.L.D. female Agent at the door, overjoyed: "Martha!"
The S.H.I.E.L.D. female Agent also saw Sharon sitting on the bed, her expression relaxed, and then she quickly ran to the bedside: "Sharon, that's great, you're okay."
Sharon eagerly asked: "How is Commander Hand?"
The S.H.I.E.L.D. female Agent named Martha glanced at Sharon, who was receiving a blood transfusion, and smiled, saying: "Like you, she's getting a blood transfusion, but don't worry, the Commander is doing well."
The worry on Sharon's face completely disappeared, and then she looked at Martha: "I want to go back to the Base and be with you all."
As she spoke, Sharon subconsciously looked at Hawk.
Hawk chuckled.
"I'm not HYDRA, I haven't imprisoned you."
Hawk joked, then said to Gwen beside him: "Alright, Sharon's family is here, let's go home too."
He was planning to take his fiancée home, and then go pull Zola's plug.
Hearing this, Gwen nodded and looked at Sharon: "Sharon, we'll be leaving now."
Sharon hummed: "Thank you, Gwen."
The S.H.I.E.L.D. female Agent named Martha also said to Gwen: "Thank you, Ms. Stacy."
Gwen smiled slightly, waved to Sharon and Martha, and then followed Hawk out of the ward.
The black audi a8 sped through the streets of Manhattan, arriving back at the garage at 521A Palm Street in less than twenty minutes.
Back in the living room.
After Gwen turned on the living room lights, she turned to Hawk, who had followed her, and smiled, saying: "Alright, I'm home, you go get busy."
Hawk raised an eyebrow and looked at Gwen.
Gwen smiled and said: "Sharon doesn't know you, but I know you very well, Hawk. You're not the type to ask strange questions for no reason."
Hawk looked at Gwen with a shocked expression.
"Indeed, nothing can be hidden from my dear fiancée."
"Stop being a smart aleck."
Gwen rolled her eyes at Hawk with a smile and then said: "Alright, hurry up and get busy. Perfect, I'll cook something for the two of us. Come back early."
"Yes, ma'am."
Hawk nodded with a serious expression, saluted, and then, with a whoosh, appeared in front of Gwen, looking down and stealing a kiss from her, then turned and vanished from her sight.
Gwen subconsciously covered her mouth, then looked at Hawk, who had disappeared, and couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head. After turning on the TV, she walked towards the kitchen, preparing to cook some supper and wait for Hawk to come back and eat together.
Just as she lifted her foot to walk towards the kitchen.
Hawk had already appeared above the abandoned military Base, thirty kilometers east of Jersey City, that Sharon Carter had mentioned.
The next second.
He had already appeared in the abandoned military Base, where tall weeds grew everywhere.
Soon.
Hawk's gaze locked onto an ammunition warehouse not far away.
It wasn't that he vaguely remembered Captain America Steve Rogers had noticed something amiss through a non-existent warehouse.
It was because…
All the doors in the Base were locked, except for that one warehouse door, which was open, making it hard for Hawk not to notice.
After all, he wasn't blind.
When Hawk saw this ammunition warehouse, which seemed to have been opened by someone who got there first, he was also stunned, then seemed to remember something.
The plot timeline of Captain America 2 was actually very short, just like Thor 2's timeline.
No.
Thor 2's plot was concentrated within forty-eight hours, while Captain America 2's plot took place within seventy-two hours.
HYDRA officially began its second struggle yesterday, and today was the second day.
So…
If nothing unexpected happened, Captain America Steve Rogers and Black Widow Natasha Romanoff should have found their way here.
Hawk thought to himself, and the moment his right foot stepped out, he had already appeared at the entrance of the wide-open ammunition warehouse. Then his figure disappeared again, and when he reappeared, he was already inside the warehouse.
Thump!
Captain America, who had also just arrived here, found the secret elevator, and even begun communicating with Dr. Zola, learning the true truth of 'Paperclip' and the 'Insight Project', seemed to sense something and looked up at the ceiling.
Natasha, who was beside him, also shocked by Dr. Zola's revelations, caught the movement of Captain America out of the corner of her eye, snapped out of it, and followed Captain America's gaze to the ceiling.
"Captain, what's wrong?"
"Someone's here."
Captain America Steve Rogers said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Natasha quickly entered combat mode, her tactical pistols from both sides already drawn, looking around warily.
Just then.
In the heavy computer screen behind them, countless information streams were now rushing through, and at the same time, the fans of the equally antique server racks throughout the entire server room were humming at full power.
Natasha noticed the anomaly, turning to look at Dr. Zola, who seemed to be calculating something.
Captain America also reacted, turning to look at Zola's electronic face on the screen.
"Zola, what kind of trick are you playing?"
"…"
Zola remained silent, only analyzing.
But…
No matter how he analyzed, he couldn't figure out why Hawk had pinpointed his location in such a short time.
Even if John Garrett had sold him out, it wouldn't have mattered.
Because John Garrett didn't know his exact location either.
Unless!
Dr. Zola's data quickly pinpointed a ten-minute blank period in Alexander Pierce's signal.
He almost crashed.
Because Zola also couldn't figure out why Alexander Pierce would do this.
Just then.
Captain America, who was looking at Dr. Zola, caught a spatial fluctuation in the direction of the elevator entrance behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Without hesitation!
Boom!
As Captain America twisted his waist sharply, the shield in his hand had already been thrown towards Hawk, who had silently appeared at the elevator entrance.
The shield spun through the air.
The force was great enough to cut an ordinary person in half at the waist!
