Chapter 50: First Clash

Early in the morning.

Andy woke up and glanced at Dottie Underwood, who was entangling him like an octopus. He leaned forward to kiss her forehead.

Last night's final step ritual of the graduation ceremony took six rounds before the two of them stop, Andy really enjoyed this kind of tradition and the future to come.

"Good morning, sir," Dottie said, awakened by his movement and greeting him with a sweet smile. She pressed her body tightly against his.

"Good morning," Andy returned the greeting. They remained silent and just embraced each other, enjoying the peace for an hour.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do now that you have successfully become a Black Widow?" Andy asked curiously.

"Well, I already discussed it with the Headmistress," Dottie paused for a moment before continuing to explain. "Firstly, since the number of trainees has dwindled due to the elimination program that has been going on for years before you became our master, we are in an awkward situation. The number of subordinates is not proportional to your order. For instance, I only have 63 assassin subordinates instead of having 255 assassin subordinates and one Black Widow."

"We formulated a new plan and will change the Black Widow graduation year from yearly to every three years. For now, we only resort in recruiting childrens displaced by the war. If the war ends and the situation stabilizes, we will proceed to implement a plan to control all the orphanages in Eastern Europe."

"Based on your order that we will not limit our selection or qualification criteria for training Black Widow, and since the symbiote healing ability is strong, we will heal those children with birth defects who end up in orphanages. We will also include those homeless children to be trained."

"Since not all children are capable of being an assassin, we will teach them differently based on their respective talent and they will become the backbone of our organization in the future. Some of the girls will be trained as future Black Widows while the boys will be trained and sent to the Leviathan Organization."

"In short, we will create an organization encompassing Eastern Europe and will not be limited to just training assassins. On the bright side, we will build 256 Red Room Academies across Eastern Europe, and every best trainee of branch academy will be sent to our future headquarters for the selection of Black Widow."

Dottie Underwood explained proudly that she had her own ambition and was not willing to be outdone by Agnes Cully. She still remembered that he hoped she would become his right-hand woman and fulfill her wish of resurrecting her friend.

"That's a good plan, and your ambition is not small," Andy praised her sincerely. In fact, some of her plans were the same as his, such as controlling orphanages and building Umbrella Academy around the world.

The plan was already ongoing across America, and Enoch was in charge of this project. They would build Umbrella Orphanages and Umbrella Academy in every state, while also constructing an underground hive in every Umbrella Branch Building.

"Of course, I don't want to fail your expectations for me," Dottie giggled and winked at him.

"Haha, is that so? For now, it's more important to punish you, seductress." Seeing her flirtatious look, Andy couldn't hold back. He kissed her lips and turned her over. It was time for morning exercise.

He decided to stay at Red Room Academy for a month and help her in building the underground facility here.

It was a dark and stormy night, the kind that Captain America had seen many times before. He was leading the Howling Commandos through the dense forest of the HYDRA-occupied Danish Straits, having received intel that Red Skull was in the castle studying a dangerous object.

While moving carefully through the forest, Victor and Logan's noses twitched as they sniffed the surroundings. Seeing them like this, Steve raised his hand and ordered the others to stop, asking, "What is it?"

Victor's expression turned grim as he said to Steve, "Captain, I'm afraid we have company."

Suddenly, applause and laughter sounded out. "Haha, as expected of the wild beasts. They really know how to use their noses like animals," came a voice.

"Who?" Steve shouted, and the rest of the team quickly formed a line facing where the sounds came from.

Soon, Susan and Melvin Scarob appeared in their sight, standing by tree trunks.

"You bitch is still alive?" Victor exclaimed in surprise, to which Logan added, "Even the protective brother survived."

"Huh, be careful with your words, barbarian," Susan said condescendingly.

Melvin crossed his arms and said, "And to thank you for the last time we met, we will show our hospitality and bury your bodies here."

"With just both of you? Is the lesson from last time is not enough? It's true that we're amazed that you survived," Viktor said sarcastically, taunting them with, "How about the scars on your bodies? I bet they haven't been fully healed yet."

"Shut up, beast." At the mention of the scar, Susan reacted strongly, her eyes glowing red as she bared her fangs. Having a permanent scar was unacceptable for any woman.

Seeing that his sister showed her vampiric side, Melvin followed suit and displayed his fangs and red eyes proudly.

"Oh crap? Did you two become monsters?" Victor stepped back in fright. Even the rest of the Howling Commandos were surprised by their change.

"Hmmm, it's strange that my abilities is not working, did you come up with a device to shield our abilities?" Susan ask in wonder, "Don't you like your experience last time? Killing your own people?"

"Enough talking," Steve frowned, he doesn't want to hear anything about the incident last time, much less to the culprit. He stepped forward and questioned, "Don't tell me the intel we received is a trap you set up for us."

"Bingo, we already expected that you will take the trap. Now it's time to end this farce," Susan clapped her hands.

Soon, a man dressed in black tights floated over and stopped in the air. On the ground were HYDRA soldiers wearing powered battle suits and led by a beautiful German woman dressed in a black leather jumpsuit, holding a long whip. The other man wore a gas mask, and both of his hands crackled with electricity.

Seeing this lineup, both Bucky and Dugan shouted, "Oh god, no!"

Because of Doctor Arnim Zola constantly tapping their potential and being injected with the latest HYDRA SS serum infused with Tesseract energy, they gained superpowers other than being a super soldier.

Just like in the comics, Wilhelm Lohmer or Master Man gained the ability of superhuman strength, stamina, durability, and psionic levitation.

Other than peak human physiology, Julia Koening or Warrior Woman also gained the ability similar to Clandestine's weapon summoning and Eternals Thena's weapon transformation. Her bullwhip is her main weapon and capable of transforming into swords, garrote, axes, daggers, throwing knives, staffs, sticks, tonfa, axes, and maces.

Basically, she is the female version of John Wick, proficient in any weapon. Even in the comics, she is able to use any object available to her as a weapon, from pencils to glass shards and decks of cards.

On the other hand, Brian Falsworth or Mighty Destroyer also gained peak human physiology and gained the superpower of Elektrokinesis just like his comic counterpart. The only difference is he cannot discharge the electricity in his hands like a bolt of lightning. Nevertheless, it is a fearsome ability in hand-to-hand combat.

The team urged Junior Jupiter at the back and he quickly pressed the transponder and said, "We need backup immediately."

"Received." On the other end of the communications were Peggy Carter and Laura Autograph Seeker.

Meanwhile at the Red Room Academy.

Andy is lost in thought watching their battle situation. He is starting to think that this battle is not fair.
