Besides the words "Hydra Base," another name also caught everyone's attention: Strucker.
This name had appeared in the footage concerning Hawkeye's immunity to Scarlet Witch.
Klaw had said in the footage that Scarlet Witch and the fast, silver-haired man were both Strucker's disciples.
Therefore, after returning, everyone naturally conducted an inquiry into this name, and the result was undoubtedly a large number of people, none of whom appeared suspicious on the surface.
Unexpectedly, this name appeared again at this moment.
And at the beginning of the footage, the figures of Scarlet Witch and the other person indeed appeared inside the base.
It seems Klaw was right at the time; Scarlet Witch and the other person did have some unusual relationship with Strucker.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of heavy objects colliding rang out, as Thor was swinging his hammer, striking the surrounding enemies, sending people flying with each punch and kick.
"Loki's scepter must be inside!" Thor threw his hammer with a flick of his hand and said in the communication channel, "Otherwise, Strucker couldn't have created such defenses!"
Loki's face immediately showed a strange expression.
How could my scepter be in a place like this?
Will my scepter be stolen in the future?
How could I, a dignified god of Asgard, fall to such a state?
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Bang, bang, bang!
The sounds of energy attacks and bullets flying rang out continuously, as Black Widow, Hawkeye Barton, Iron Man, and several other people were engaged in an incredibly fierce battle with Hydra's forces.
At this point, the camera switched.
Inside the base, a group of people were busy going back and forth.
"Who gave the order to attack?"
A man with a buzz cut walked towards the command room and asked the commanders present.
"Mr. Strucker,"
"Those are the Avengers!" A commander immediately said to Strucker, "They landed at the far end of the forest, and the border soldiers were terrified."
"They must be after the scepter!" Another middle-aged man, who looked like a technician, said to Strucker with a very certain tone.
"Can we stop them?" Strucker turned his head and asked the commander.
"They are the Avengers!" The commander replied as if it were obvious.
They are a bunch of guys with cheats; how could ordinary people stop them?
"All remaining tanks, deploy! Concentrate fire on the weaker ones!" Strucker began to issue this order to everyone present, "One hit will make them group together!"
After giving the order, Strucker said to the technician, "We have already achieved so much, and we are about to make the greatest breakthrough..."
"Then let them see our results!" The technician suggested, "Send out the twins!"
"The time is not right!" Strucker refused.
"No, they signed up to do this!" The technician insisted on his opinion.
"No, my men can hold them off!" Strucker also insisted on his opinion.
While Strucker and the technician were discussing, Scarlet Witch and the other person stood by and watched, not saying a word.
This made everyone present very curious: who exactly were the "twins" that Strucker and the others were talking about?
They seemed very powerful.
Could it be Scarlet Witch and the silver-haired man?
"Strucker, you Hydra bastard, you can't escape now!" Nick Fury's voice rang out, and his single eye gleamed as he stared at Strucker on the screen.
"We will never surrender!"
"The Americans sent these clowns to test us, and we will never let them return alive!"
On the screen, Strucker continued to speak eloquently to everyone in the base, boosting morale, with a fearless attitude, "Never surrender!"
"Never surrender!"
The soldiers present were greatly encouraged, echoing loudly, their powerful voices resounding, like they were on adrenaline, and they began to go out to meet the enemy.
"I plan to surrender!"
But immediately after, Strucker, who had just finished his impassioned speech, turned around and told the technician his true thoughts.
Nick Fury: "..."
Captain America: "..."
Everyone: "..."
What kind of weirdos are in Hydra!
"Delete the records. If we hand over our weapons to the Avengers, they shouldn't delve too deeply into what we're researching."
Strucker continued to say to the technician.
"The twins!" The technician, however, spoke up again, suggesting.
"They're not ready yet!" Strucker interrupted the technician.
"No, they're gone!"
The technician pointed to where Scarlet Witch and the other person had been standing, only to find that it was empty at some unknown point.
This could be said to be solid proof; there was no longer any doubt.
The twins Strucker and the others were talking about were indeed Scarlet Witch and the silver-haired man.
Everyone really hadn't expected that Scarlet Witch and the silver-haired man were twins!
Even more, no one had expected that Scarlet Witch and the other person were originally with Hydra!
This also explains why Scarlet Witch and the others were with Ultron at first, fighting against the Avengers.
It's just that later, something unknown happened, and Scarlet Witch actually sided with Captain America, helping him fight against the heroes of the Iron Man faction in the Civil War.
At this point, the camera on the big screen switched again.
It came to the battlefield in the forest outside.
Hawkeye Barton was hiding behind a tree, attacking the Hydra soldiers with arrows.
Swish!
But suddenly, a shadow flashed by quickly, and the arrow Barton had shot disappeared. It was clearly taken away by Quicksilver.
Barton was startled and immediately drew his bow towards the direction where the arrow had disappeared, but before he could shoot, a shadow instantly knocked Barton flying.
Quicksilver appeared, a faint smirk on his face: "What, didn't expect that move?"
Swish!
After finishing his taunt, Quicksilver's body swayed, and he disappeared.
Hawkeye Barton looked at the direction Quicksilver had disappeared, a little lost in thought, as if he hadn't expected there to be such a fast man in the world.
Whoosh!
Just as he was momentarily dazed, a gun barrel from a nearby bunker suddenly fired an energy projectile, directly knocking Barton to the ground.
"Clint!" Black Widow, not far away, immediately rushed towards Barton to check on his condition.
"Someone, take out that bunker!" Black Widow said in the communication channel while giving Barton first aid.
Roar!
Boom!
Amidst a beast-like roar, the ground shook violently.
A behemoth crashed heavily to the ground, making the ground tremble. The Hulk had jumped out from who knows where.
He charged forward fiercely, and with a brute force collision, he instantly smashed the bunker into ruins.
"Thanks!" Black Widow said casually, continuing to give Barton first aid.
Meanwhile, not far away, Captain America was wielding his shield among the crowd, urging Iron Man in the communication channel, "Stark, we have to get in!"
"Almost there!"
Iron Man said, landing on the base's passage, and with a few palm repulsor blasts, he knocked down the base's guard soldiers.
"Jarvis, we should be going in soon, right? Have you seen the energy source for the shield?" Iron Man asked Jarvis.
"There's a gap above the North Tower!" Jarvis immediately replied.
Iron Man didn't waste any words and flew directly towards the direction Jarvis had indicated, "Good, I'll pierce it!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Immediately after, Iron Man aimed at that specific spot and fiercely blasted it a few times. The energy shield that had originally enveloped the entire base instantly dissipated.
"You can come in, everyone!" Iron Man informed everyone in the communication channel.
Next, everyone made a series of arrangements: Thor took the injured Barton for treatment, and Captain America and Iron Man were responsible for finding the scepter inside the base.
As for Black Widow?
"Go find Banner, it's time for a lullaby!" Captain America said to Black Widow in the communication channel.
The camera switched at this point.
In a corner of the battlefield, the Hulk was still angrily smashing a tank.
"Hey, big guy!"
Black Widow's figure appeared, "The sun's going down!"
Saying that, Black Widow extended her hand to the Hulk.
Something surprising happened: the Hulk also extended his hand to Black Widow.
After they high-fived, the Hulk's massive body actually began to "wriggle," and then returned to normal.
From the original Hulk, he transformed into Dr. Banner.
Black Widow watched all of this from the side, a shy smile on her face.
The scene froze on Black Widow's smiling face.
That smile practically revealed everything; no one would believe that she and the Hulk didn't have something going on, even if you beat them to death.
"What lullaby? This is clearly the power of love, isn't it?" Tony Stark couldn't help but shrug, staring at Black Widow as if he had discovered something incredible, "So Romanoff has that feminine side to her."
"Stark, did I not seem like a woman to you before?" Black Widow glanced at Tony Stark and said.
"No, of course you did. I'm America's most famous playboy. All the people you've all dated combined might not be as many as I date in a month."
Tony Stark said with a flirtatious air, "I've seen all types of women, even colder than you. I just didn't expect you to have another side."
"The footage just now." Captain America spoke with a serious expression, interrupting Tony Stark's small talk and summarizing, "It should be an operation by the Avengers to seize the scepter from the Hydra base. The time should be after Romanoff destroyed S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Those weapons that can launch energy attacks, and the energy shield of the main base building, should all have been created relying on the scepter."
"Clearly, Hydra has been secretly researching the scepter."
"The Scarlet Witch siblings, or brother and sister, in any case, those two twins, although they were working for Hydra, they shouldn't be Hydra people in the traditional sense."
"Does anyone else have anything to add?"
"Strucker and his people said that Scarlet Witch and the other person were the results of their research," Hawkeye Barton interjected at this point, "Could it be that they, like Dr. Banner, are also products of human modification experiments?"
"That's very possible." Nick Fury nodded heavily, "They might have signed a contract with Strucker and subsequently underwent Hydra's human experiments."
Through the conversation between Strucker and the others, this was not difficult to deduce.
"In the Civil War, Scarlet Witch helped Captain America seize the plane, and when Vision was created, they also went with Captain America to stop Stark."
"They were with Captain America later on."
"Regardless of their origins, they both seem to have 'turned over a new leaf' later on," Black Widow also said.
Everyone now had a clear idea of their attitude towards Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
As for the most crucial point of this question, the lullaby making the Hulk return to normal, everyone didn't discuss it much, because it was meaningless.
That lullaby was clearly only applicable to Black Widow; it wasn't applicable to anyone else and had no replication value.
Therefore, there was no need for discussion.
The most effective information this question could provide everyone was the origin and background of the Scarlet Witch siblings.
"Wait a minute!"
Tony Stark suddenly spoke up at this moment, remembering something, and said to everyone, "I think I know where Scarlet Witch comes from."
When Scarlet Witch first appeared in the Civil War and displayed her magical abilities, she attracted everyone's high attention.
After the question-and-answer session ended, Tony Stark had conducted an investigation, but too many people were found, and due to age discrepancies at this stage, he couldn't pinpoint anyone.
But now, everyone knew that Scarlet Witch had a twin brother, and the candidates were immediately narrowed down.
After all, while there were many people named Wanda Maximoff in the country, there was only one with a twin brother!
Tony Stark immediately recalled.
"They are a pair of orphans from Sokovia. When they were ten years old, the building they lived in was shelled, and unfortunately, both their parents died, so they became orphans."
"This makes it not difficult to explain why they signed a contract with Hydra and participated in human experiments." Hawkeye Barton shrugged, "Circumstances forced them."
"Please answer the question: Which of the following characters, after defeating Captain America Steve Rogers, exclaimed, 'That truly is America's ass'?"
"A. Loki Odinson"
"B. Cosmic Overlord Thanos"
"C. Captain America Steve Rogers"
"D. Ultron"
"Friendly reminder: The correct answerer will receive one physical attribute enhancement card as a reward;"
"The incorrect answerer will have one of their attributes randomly deducted, including but not limited to knowledge, experience, skills, possessions, etc..."
Amidst everyone's discussions, a new question appeared.
