Chapter 129 The Threat from the Traitor

After the morning run, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff sat in the corner of a small cafe, they were talking about a series of recent events. Steve's brows were furrowed, he was worried about the activities of the Hydra organization.

While they were discussing, Natasha's cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID and found that it was Maria Hill's call. She answered the call immediately.

\"Natasha, I have urgent news. Nick Fury is injured. He was seriously injured in a battle with a Hydra member. We are now sending him to the SHIELD hospital." Maria's voice sounded anxious.

Natasha's expression suddenly became tense, and she turned to Steve and told him what the call had said.

\"We have to rush to the hospital and see how Nick is doing.\" Steve said, and they immediately left the cafe and headed towards the hospital.

At the hospital, they met Maria Hill, who was waiting for Nick's surgery to finish. Maria's face was full of worry, and she nodded to the two of them, signaling them to wait.

The waiting time seemed to be getting longer, and Steve and Natasha silently prayed that Nick would be safe. Finally, after a few hours, the doctor came out, and they couldn't wait to ask about Nick's condition.

The doctor nodded slightly, indicating that the operation was successful and Nick was recovering. He had some serious skin injuries, but he should be able to recover soon. Hearing this news, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After Nick Fury woke up, his expression was heavy. He reviewed the battle at that time to Steve and Natasha, especially the appearance of the silver-armed warrior.

\"I don't know what's going on with the Silver Arm Warrior, but he seems to have been involved in Hydra's conspiracy. He mentioned that they are looking for the Super Soldier Serum, which is a very dangerous technology. We must find out their plan and then stop them." Nick said, his voice full of determination.

"Hydra? It's really Hydra!" This attack on Nick Fury has been certified by Nick Fury himself, Steve muttered to himself.

"We can't stand by and watch any longer. Hydra's conspiracy is becoming more and more dangerous. We must stop them." Steve said with a determined look.

Then Nick Fury looked at Steve with a heavy heart and said, "The identity of the silver-armed warrior is Bucky, Bucky Barnes."

When Steve heard the identity of the Silver Arm Warrior, his expression instantly became shocked and anxious. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Nick Fury.

\"Bucky? Bucky Barnes? Are you sure?\" Steve asked almost tremblingly. He couldn't believe that this name that he missed so much appeared in Hydra's actions.

Nick Fury nodded and his expression turned serious.

\"Yes, Steve, I heard his voice and saw his eyes. Although his appearance has changed a lot, I am sure it is Bucky." There was a hint of sadness in Nick's voice.

Steve stood up, his fists clenched tightly. Bucky was one of his closest friends, they had experienced countless battles together, but in a certain mission, Bucky seemed to be missing, and Steve had always missed him.

\"We have to find him, Nick. No matter what happened, Bucky should not become a tool of Hydra. Nick, tell me, where is Bucky?" Steve said, his voice full of determination.

Nick Fury knew Steve's feelings very well. He said slowly, "After being defeated by Electro, he was captured by Electro. It is possible that he is in Hawke Group or Umbrella Group now."

Nick Fury's words made the other two ladies frown, while Steve said anxiously, "What are you waiting for? I want to bring Bucky back."

Steve turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly felt his arm being entangled. He looked back and saw it was Natasha.

Looking at Natasha's eyes, Steve sighed and said, "Natasha, do you have anything to tell me?"

Natasha was about to speak when Hill said, "If Bucky is really captured by Electro, then I can visit Nathan Hawke in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Nick Fury, who was lying on the hospital bed, interrupted, "Steve, don't worry. When Electro captured Bucky, I told him that they would not abuse Bucky. Don't worry."

Hill and Nick Fury's words gradually extinguished Steve's anxious thoughts. He then looked at Natasha and said as if he was defeated by you: "Well, now that they have made their statements clear, what about you?"

Natasha said to Steve with a serious face: "Since Bucky's life is not in danger, I must now focus on Hydra. Their actions against the director show that they are now brewing a very evil plan."

After Natasha finished speaking, Steve nodded, and then the three people present turned their eyes to Nick Fury.

Nick Fury thought for a while and then said, "It should be Vice President Rodriguez's business."

"Rodriguez? Vice President?" Steve recalled in confusion that he had just heard Natasha mention it during his morning run.

Seeing Steve's puzzled expression, Hill continued, "Rodriguez was involved in the incident of the desperate warrior."

"You mean, the Vice President was involved in the plot to take down the President?" Steve said seriously.

Steve also had a general idea of ​​what happened when Matthew Ellis was attacked by the Extremis. Even Hawkeye went there at that time. However, it was said that when Hawkeye arrived, the scene had already been dealt with by the Hawke Group's superhero "Zed".

"Yes, Mr. President and our intelligence agencies have collected a piece of information." Hill took out a tablet and showed Steve a picture of an innocent and happy girl.

"This is what she looks like when she stands up. This is what she looks like when she sits in a wheelchair." Hill showed the photos to Steve and said, "Rodriguez's granddaughter is disabled. Both of her legs are shattered. Apart from mechanical legs, the existing technology probably can't make her stand up with her legs."

After listening to this, Steve looked at Nick Fury.

Nick Fury shrugged and said, "Don't look at me. I don't know what method I'll use. But there is no doubt that the Extremis virus can make the opponent's legs stand up, just like a normal person."

"Just don't lose your temper easily. It was because of this incident that our agents collected this clue." Natasha added.

"So, you mean that Rodriguez intends to fight you to the death?" Steve asked tentatively, then shook his head and said solemnly: "It's killing someone with a borrowed knife."

"Almost, just almost." Hill operated on the tablet and then showed the three people the position of Nick Fury at that time and the offensive of Hydra.

"According to calculations by the SHIELD Operations Command and the subsequent appearance of Bucky, the Director's chance of survival is 1%. Of course, this is only the highest estimate."

Natasha and Nick Fury didn't speak because they knew Hill had more to say.

But Hill didn't say anything, instead he looked at Nick Fury.

The other two also looked at Nick Fury.

Nick Fury took a deep breath and began to explain his actions.

\"Here's the thing. I deliberately leaked my whereabouts. Only some people in SHIELD know my exact location. I wanted to test whether anyone really wants to kill me." Nick's tone was firm, but with a hint of heaviness.

Steve, Natasha and Hill all had puzzled expressions, they all knew that Nick Fury was a cautious and smart man, but this action seemed too risky.

\"You mean to say that you deliberately exposed yourself in order to identify potential moles?\" Steve asked, shocked by the plan.

Nick nodded and explained: "Yes, it's just like you said. I've always been worried that there might be a mole in SHIELD, especially with the escalating threat of Hydra. If someone tries to murder me, then they will be exposed."

Natasha thought for a moment, then said: "This plan does make sense, but it is too dangerous. If the attack fails, you may expose your whereabouts and let the other party know your intentions. And if the attack succeeds..."

Nick smiled bitterly and continued: "I have certainly considered the risks of this plan, but I think it is necessary. Moreover, I believe that this attack has proved my suspicions. Someone in SHIELD leaked my whereabouts, otherwise there would not be such a precise attack."

Hill thought silently for a while, then said: "Your suspicion is reasonable, Director. If there is indeed a traitor, then we must find them as soon as possible, otherwise S.H.I.E.L.D. will be in greater danger."

Steve nodded. Although he was worried about Nick's plan, he also understood that it was a necessary measure.

\"So, what do we do next?\" Steve asked, ready to take action immediately.

Nick thought for a moment, then said: "First, we need to thoroughly investigate this attack to find out the identity of the attacker and the organization behind it. Second, I will closely monitor some senior agents within SHIELD to see if there is any suspicious behavior. Finally, we must ensure that my whereabouts continue to be kept secret to prevent another attack."

"Because I suspect that the attacker is the Hydra that everyone has already noticed, and it is possible that SHIELD has been infiltrated."

Steve, Natasha, and Hill all nodded in agreement, knowing that this was a crisis and that decisive action must be taken.

\"We have to be careful and not let the mole notice our actions. Nick, you must try your best to protect your own safety. We will fully support your investigation." Steve said. They all knew that this crisis might be part of the Hydra organization or an internal problem within S.H.I.E.L.D. and must be handled with caution.

"so."

Nick Fury looked at the three people seriously and critically and asked, "Can I trust you?"

Snapped.

Steve responded by giving Nick Fury a powerful hand on the shoulder.
