*Dubaku woke up in what appeared to be Hydra's headquarters* What the?
"Oh, splendid, he lives, he breathes."
What? Where am I? Wait, is that that red skulled man? *he gets up*
"Eh, close enough. You did well. And a little birdie told me that you were getting friendly with the Avengers. While that may have lowered their suspicion, you mustn't get attached. When you form attachments, you become more merciful, which impedes your ability to accomplish the mission, which will lead to failure!"
Would that "Little Birdie" happen to be the man I met with and gave the files to?
"You would most certainly be correct in saying that, Mister Dubaku. He happens to be one of our finest operatives. Now, he shall be your mentor. You'll assist him in some of his missions, and he will assist you in some of yours."
So, may I receive my paycheck?
"That will come soon enough. But for now, here's your next assignment." *Red Skull hands Dubaku a tablet containing the details of the mission* "You and the Winter Soldier will be assigned to destroy these Shield surveillance vehicles, the ones furthest from Stark tower and Shield headquarters. Shield will then send in its forces and they'll be more vulnerable. And, with any luck, the Avengers will arrive on the scene as well."
So, why are we-
"It is all part of the greater plan, Mister Dubaku. It is all part of the greater plan." *Red Skull tosses over Dubaku's custom double sheath with his Kpingas*
*he catches them* How did you-
"You're with us now, Dubaku. We know your capabilities, and I must say, even I'm rather impressed. But it isn't the abilities, oh no. But the man behind them. I know you will make a good addition to our cause."
Do I get my own suit.
"We have experimental suits still under development. But until then, you'll be sporting standard Hydra assassin attires." *he tosses the uniform as well as explosive equipment to Dubaku* "Sure enough, however, you will earn your suit. Now, where has the Winter Soldier gone off to?" *Red Skull looks around for him* "You may go now. Gentlemen, show him the door."
"Yes sir." *they escort him out after Dubaku packs the new attires into a bag*
Thanks? I guess? *Dubaku makes his way to the first surveillance vehicle, a large black van* Okay... *he places a charge on the van* Wow, these are small. *he then calmly walks away and sets off to find the other vehicles*
