6. Control
Straker has been feeling like he's been running out lately, as if he had suddenly lifted the corners of Lady Luck's skirt, and the transformation experiment that had been stalled for a long time had made several breakthroughs in a row, much to the delight of Mr. Baron.
Since the loss of contact with Lady Viper in Tokyo, Japan, Hydra has shrunk its power internally, maintaining a secretive and low-key style, Alexander Pierce's side, originally wanted to help Loki attract the Zetarians, create more chaos, make S.H.I.E.L.D. anxious, and lose strength, if you can kill people with a knife, it would be great to take the opportunity to kill the Avengers.
Helplessly, Loki was not angry, not only lost the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but also attracted Thanos to take action personally, causing Asgard to suffer heavy losses and losses, and S.H.I.E.L.D. and Earth became bystanders.
This made the Hydra who wanted to make a big deal complicated, they didn't know that the cosmic overlord behind Loki was so terrifying, if the Zetari army really came to Earth, I am afraid that this group of Na Purists who want to rule the world will not have a good time.
Since the collapse of the Red Empire, Hydra has been divided into several forces, Alexander Pierce has penetrated into the enemy early, lurking and forbearing, waiting for opportunities, and even achieved a high-level position for a time, while Mr. Baron took advantage of the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and took root in this turbulent and chaotic place.
The others, like White Hall, who is dedicated to finding the magical power of extraterritorial life, and Lady Viper, who studies viruses, are all different factions of Hydra, usually acting in their own way, and will only contact each other unless necessary.
This ancient organization, long after the collapse of the Third Reich, split and spread as the Red Skull disappeared, like a virus spreading around the world.
"Dr. Stoker, what the hell is going on?"
Wearing a monocle, Straker strode through the secret base, the largest medical center in Sokovia, which was actually a secret stronghold used by Hydra for experimental research.
Mr. Baron's father was a hereditary aristocrat in Bavaria, Germany, after the Führer of the Third Reich came to power, he was frenzied by the whole country, joined the Nazi Party, and later became Heinrich Himmler's right-hand man.
"Dr. Siperth has improved the experimental process and adopted a new form of psychotherapy, which has proven to be more successful than before." Dr. Stoker, with a high nose and deep eyes, replied.
He was Straker's confidant, who had been in charge of the Transhuman experiment for many years, and had always been regarded as the second in power in Sokovia.
"Dr. Siperth?" Straker spoke in a surprised tone, as the actual dominant person here, he had never heard of this person.
The managers in charge of the modified human experiments have always been Dr. Stoke and Dr. Leonard, who believe that mental stimulation and painful experiences can stimulate the human potential of the experimenter, and combined with the modification potion of Hydra, it is enough to endow ordinary people with unexpectedly powerful abilities.
The Absorber Karl Creel was the product of this experiment, and he was able to transform the properties of any matter he touched, and was appointed by Straker as the leader of the "Claws of Satan".
"Dr. Siperth is a young and promising graduate with a double degree in neurobiology and psychology......
Stoke recounted, the endless illusions that swirled in his mind, made him convinced of all this.
The Mind Gem has a strange ability to distort consciousness and manipulate spirits, and Sean is constantly exploring, and he wants to master it in depth, so that he can get rid of the uncontrolled rampage after entering the state of nothingness.
Relieved by his right-hand man's answer, Straker paced to the hidden test center, where he saw a young man in a white lab coat conducting daily interviews with several test subjects.
Judging from their physical data, Dr. Sypers had made subtle changes to the modifying potion, and the other party seemed to be very good at psychotherapy, and he was very effective in mental stimulation, which was the true brainwashing of Hydra.
Baron Straker nodded, wanting to meet the young and promising doctor in person, and he sat in his room waiting for him, and he had calculated in his mind some co-opting words, and promised good to the profiteers, and dealt with the fanatical followers of the Na Pure Remnants, and then gave an impassioned speech.
There are always very few saints in this world who have no desires, and Hydra has always been very good at this, and the internal factions of the huge organization, the people who can really sacrifice everything for the revival of Nazi are a minority, and more are a group of careerists, in the name of the Third Reich, to realize their desire for power.
Dr. Syperth...... How could it be you! ”
Straker, who heard the knock on the door, looked up and saw the young man walking in, his eyes were full of consternation, he knew the other person.
Sean Siperth, a New York genius on par with Tony Stark, founder of Ambrera, energy weapons and body-enhancing potions, both of which have always been prized items that Hydra has sought out in every possible way.
The last time Loki attacked Ambrera, Alexander Pierce also sent a Hydra team to steal cutting-edge technology while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos, but there has been no news so far.
It is said that Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. regards this young man as a key target, although Straker is far away in Eastern Europe and has also followed the news of the other party.
If it weren't for Sean being under the close attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra would have sent someone to contact the other party, and it would naturally be the best result for a rare genius like this to be able to pull him in.
"Mr. Siperth, I think you're in the wrong place......"
Almost subconsciously, Straker reached for the pistol under the table, and even though he didn't understand why Sean was here, it was obviously not a good sign.
How did that idiot from Stoke bring Sean Siperth inside Hydra?
This young face has appeared on the front pages of New York newspapers many times, and even appeared in Time magazine, and is almost a household name in North America.
"I just happened to be passing by, and by the way, I thought your mod experiments were too inefficient, so- can you put down your gun first, Mr. Baron?"
Sean smiled slightly, and Straker's body trembled as he pulled the trigger, like a robot, and lowered the weapon in his hand.
"Let's sit down and talk."
In the face of the other's incredulous and shocked eyes, the young man pulled out his chair and sat down, while Straker sat stiffly on his hands and feet against his will.
A great fear hit his heart, as one of the high-ranking Hydra Stellar Straker fell into an ice cave, he was sure that he was not controlled physically, but every time Sean spoke, his heart unconsciously succumbed.
It's as if he is a machine that inputs instructions and cannot disobey any of the other party's orders.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a demon."
With a warm smile on his face, coupled with the white coat he was wearing, Sean looked like a real psychiatrist.
