Walking around the Hydra base I could see some looking at me with eyes filled with pity or disdain. Honestly though I didn't give a shit what they thought of me as long as this helps me to accomplish my goals. I really didn't care about Hydra or its grand plans to bring back some banished inhuman god to me they were just a means to an end.

I walked around the base pretending to hide from my boss which is why no one tried to stop me. Looking around it didn't take long for me to spot my target who was currently busy yelling at some low-level security guard before shooting him in the face. Did it bother me? A little it was so wasteful what I was given to understand was that Hydra agents were fanatical in their loyalty. So to kill someone like that in a moment of anger when they could have been put to better use is a shame. Johann Shmidt was still pissed but seemed to regain control of himself until another guard approached him.

guard: Mein Herr there has been a security breach!

Johann: Incompetents! I am surrounded by Incompetents! Do we know who it is?!

guard: It's the Avengers Mein Herr! lead by Captain America

Johann: It would seem that my old rival has finally decided to use his brain... ALL MEN TO BATTLE STATIONS. We can't afford to leave just yet and begin destroying the labs and executing nonessential personnel we can't let our secrets fall into enemy hands!

As the obstacles left the room to complete Red Skull's orders I unleashed my psychic power upon his mind. I wasn't quite proficient enough to outright kill him with my ability just yet but I could stun him. Pulling out my trusty plasma rifle from my inventory I immediately fired at his legs. A shrill scream leaves his mouth as he wakes from his stunned state only to find most of his legs are gone from the knees down. You're probably wondering why I didn't just kill him and end it. Well, the answer is fairly simple I didn't come to this base with a sense of justice to kill an evil villain. I came here because I think I could get something useful out of him the bonus was I could practice my telepathic abilities on him. Unfortunately, I didn't have the luxury of time as the Avengers and possibly the Justice League would be here soon. So while shooting off his arm tore into his mind.

It was a little more difficult than I expected to get past all the pain and the hate directed to me but eventually, I could finally see into his mind. As I looked through it I was about as delicate as a hot poker shoved inside your dick hole. It was hard to determine what was real and what was part of his self-delusion of grandeur. Eventually, I was able to find some interesting information about things like part of the original super soldier serum and a few secret bases. My personal favorite was a Spaetzel recipe from his childhood that was very delicious. Seeing that there was nothing else to gain as his mind collapsed I took the knife from his belt and slit his throat then stabbed him in the heart for good measure before making my exit. I used a secret escape tunnel that only Red Skull was aware of as he had everyone involved in making it killed. Using the ship's stealth feature I escaped hopefully unnoticed.
