Chapter 011: 'Insignificant' Malik

Along the way with the Silver Cabinet, a Quint fighter plane that was the original Hydra, Rhaegar had tried many things, but none of them would allow him to figure out what 084 was in the cabinet without being suspected or killed.

By the way, '084' is a code name for objects of mysterious origin, unknown properties, and possibly possessing supernatural powers. That's what S.H.I.E.L.D.'s founder, Peggy Carter, defined. As a result, Hydra also 'inherited' this setting after overthrowing S.H.I.E.L.D. However, unlike when S.H.I.E.L.D. was tasked with eliminating the existence of those objects in the public and protecting people from wielding with power that they could not control, Hydra today is more about using these objects and turning them into tools to maintain their rule and suppress dissent. Unfortunately, the Hydra agents accompanying the locker must have received death orders from the Punisher. Even if Rhaegar had taken advantage of his interaction with the bulldog to get close to the cabinet, he would have been chased out by the agents as soon as he got within three feet. In the current state of Rhaegar...... No, even if the original Regamalik was here, he wouldn't be a match for these agents who were part of the law enforcement team.

Quantum fighters departed from Brazil and flew west-northward over several countries in Central America, passing through Mexico from south to north. At the same time as entering the United States, according to the regulations, the agent who flew the Kun fighter gave up the operation, and the Hydra base in the United States remotely deployed the route corresponding to the mission. After entering the assigned route, the radar on the Kun fighter was turned off, the electronic map was suspended, and the external window was also sealed...... In short, in that process, the people inside the Kun fighter had no way of knowing where they were being taken around. In the same way, after receiving a new order, the fighter plane departed from the brother's base, and it had to go through a similar process. I have to say that Hydra has done a really thorough job of keeping his base secret.

It was under these circumstances that Rhaegar came to the Hydra headquarters, where he did not know where it was located.

As soon as they got off the Kun fighter, the punisher's men left with silver cabinets. Originally, Rhaegar had to follow them on a trip, because of 084's 'Added Head', the pit bull had been sticking to him and refused to leave, and according to the relevant procedures, it also needed to be inspected and evaluated. But...... Remember what the previous head of the Resistance's sub-base, Quitman, had said about Regamalik's special position within Hydra? Well, because of this, Rhaegar is now taken to the isolation cell, awaiting an audience from the 'man' that the Punisher spoke of.

Well, it's time to talk about the role that Rhaegar will play for the rest of the year. And before that, it's worth mentioning the high-level architecture of Hydra.

According to information obtained by S.H.I.E.L.D., THE Resistance, and other forces opposing Hydra at an incomparable cost over the past two decades, the director of Hydra is John Garrett, who was once known for his ruthlessness and cunning as a field agent. However, Garrett is in charge of only the intelligence agency system of Hydra. He is not the biggest leader of Hydra. Hydra's point of contact at the United Nations, Alexander Pierce, Secretary-General of the United Nations World Security Council, is considered the supreme leader of Hydra. And below the supreme leader, there are several sub-leaders of Hydra. These people exist as the hidden power of Hydra, and do not enter the intelligence agency system represented by Garrett, but they are closely connected to Hydra outside the system. They all have their own careers in front of the public, and they also support the operation of Hydra in various forms. They even set up a super committee to coordinate the development of Hydra with Pierce.

Over the years, the anti-Hydra forces have tried to identify the giants of the Super Council, but they have not made much progress. At present, in addition to the speculation that Tony Stark, the CEO of Stark Industries, may have close ties to one of the giants in the Super Council, there is only one other giant whose identity has been basically confirmed - Gideon Malik.

He was Regamalik's uncle.

The Malik family has long been a big fan of Hydra. However, they are not supporting the Nazi Hydra founded by Red Skull, but the thousand-year-old organization that Hydra said in the 80s of the last century in order to clear its name.

For the failure of the Red Skull back then, the ancient families represented by the Malik family were not surprised. They would even like to see the Red Skull die at the hands of Captain America, and they will use that opportunity to infiltrate and reassemble the Nazi Hydra and reclaim the name 'Hydra'. And after Hydra seized the lead from S.H.I.E.L.D., these families did not rely on merit to pick and choose. On the contrary, they were clever enough to put only Gideon Malik, the contemporary head of the Malik family, as a representative, to take a place in the Super Council, and that's it. Even Gideon Malik himself rarely intervenes in Hydra's internal affairs—except about his nephew, Regamalik.

Note that he is not trying to promote Regamalik, but to suppress this nephew at all times. And if there is a better opportunity, I believe he doesn't mind killing his nephew directly.

With Gideon Malik's style, he should be the least likely to reveal his identity of all the giants in the Super Council. And his exposure is also thanks to the strange relationship between Regamalik, or rather, his strange relationship with Regamalik. At the age of fifteen, Regamalik volunteered to find an agent of Hydra to apply, and now he is 29 years old, during which he has received two years of training - even if his ability is really poor in fourteen or fifteen years, he should have been promoted to level 5 a long time ago. Besides, Regamalik isn't really stupid. Diligence is his strength, and his IQ, big-picture outlook, and physical fitness are at least moderate. However, over the years, Gideon Malik has been pressing Regamalik into the position of a fourth-level agent on the grounds that 'young people still need more exercise' and 'the Malik family can't go through the back door'. If it weren't for Regamalik fighting for himself, finding a way to apply for himself to be transferred to a commando unit with less strict hierarchical restrictions, and taking the initiative to do the dirty work again and again, maybe more than a decade later, at the age of 40, he would still have to sit in a compartment at a sub-base and deal with complicated warehouse management documents.

Theoretically, such a thing would not have come out. After all, before that, Regamalik was known for his cold face and poor communication with others, and he would not take the initiative to complain to anyone, and Gideon Malik did not take the initiative to break the possibility of such a thing. However, during a certain meeting with Regamalik, Garrett, who was not the director at the time but was already a high-ranking person, casually teased the former with this incident, and after that, the news spread. Then, some of the spies who were planted in Hydra got a lot of information about the Malik family, and those forces who opposed Hydra basically confirmed Gideon Malik's identity as a member of the Hydra Super Committee after various patchwork and speculation.

Poor Regamalick, poor Gideon Malik......?

Regamalik may be pitiful, but Gideon Malik is not. Don't make it up, it's some kind of uncle who wants to keep his nephew safe for the sake of his promise to his younger brother, and so he completely prevents him from going out to work. Gideon Malik wasn't that great. Even if you don't talk about the dirty things done by Gideon Malik in the other world "AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3", in fact, in this new world, Regamalik's father and Gideon are still twins, and a pair of twins who are looking for someone to kill their younger brother. After the death of their father, the two brothers, who were still in their twenties, even made a promise to 'go to the end together'. But not long after his father's funeral, the younger brother of the twins and his wife died in a car accident, leaving only a son who was not yet a year old - the baby happened to have a minor illness and had to be hospitalized so he was not in the car. The twins' elder brother Gideon took over the huge family business of the Malik family in just two or three years after attending another funeral. If nothing else, that's enough to tell.

Until the age of fifteen, Regamalik was kept in seclusion in the mansion of his uncle Gideon, a socialite. Although he did not eat less and dress badly like Cinderella and did all kinds of domestic work, he could not go to school like ordinary children, but could only be tutored at 'home', and watched with envy his cousin, Gideon's daughter, happily go out in the car every day, and watched her talk excitedly about her N+1 new friend at the dinner table every day.

Well, the above is a plot made up by Rhaegar - our Rhaegar - in his own head. After all, even S.H.I.E.L.D. can't go deep into Gideon Malik's mansion in the current environment to unearth what happened during that time, and our Rhaegar doesn't have the ability to read memories. However, our Rhaegar knows that on his fifteenth birthday, Rhaegar of Hydra took advantage of his cousin's whim to celebrate his birthday, escaped from Malik's mansion, and after losing his initial sense of exposure to the real world, spent a few days starving and being bullied, and then stumbled upon a Hydra agent and knocked on Hydra's door. And his uncle only found out that he was still alive two years later when he graduated from the Hydra Academy's combat department.

The agent who introduced Regamalick to Hydra and offered him a place to train at Hydra Academy died shortly after he graduated from the academy and was discovered by Gideon Malik. The cause of death is also suspicious. After more than ten years of living in fear, our Rhaegar wondered if Regamalik had ever thought of confronting his uncle, or even seeking revenge on his uncle, or even taking back everything he deserved. However, he knew that now that he had returned to Hydra as Regamalic, he could no longer play the role of resignation. Otherwise, he would have died quickly......

"Okay, Regamalik, since I'm 'temporary' in your body, let me take you, well, break out on your behalf!"
