There's no Hail, Only HELL HYDRA!!

Alex rushed the car out of the city at quite high speed, and by this point, there were even some NYPD helicopters on his tail. Though they were all hydra personnel. But Alex didn't care much as though the men in the helicopters felt the highway was the perfect place to get a good aim, Alex was glad he didn't have to drive slow anymore.

Alex pushed a glowing part of the gear and pulled it back, igniting the thrusters making the car zoom out. And even at that speed, Alex expertly avoided the few cars that drove on the highway. He had already cleared the highway ahead by putting ideas to stop or take a detour in the minds of the people driving to make sure they don't come between the crossfire.

'Drop the firecrackers' Alex told Oracle telepathically. A small hatch opened under the bumper of Alex's car and small chips dropped from them. They were extremely small chips, which were also invisible and were hovering over the ground. This may be groundbreaking technology for others, but was simple for Alex who studied making things like that when he started researching Galvan technology, plus he literally has unlimited resources.

The chips scattered around and hovered still, waiting for the unaware chasers. And just as the crossed over them, the chips produced an explosion that would dynamite to shame, sending the cars. They didn't even leave most parts intact, and neither did the ones driving them. Alex swept a glance at the back-view mirror and looked ahead. He discovered many of his views changing over time as his body, mind, and soul transformed to match a transcendent being. The people following him were raised to be devout followers, and even though he could re-write their memories, he didn't feel worth it. Plus, getting a better understanding of life and death from Phoenix and lady Death, Alex leaned towards them paying for their sins and reincarnation later a better option than letting them live a life of lies.

But his views were not shared by all, and he clearly knew that. He could feel Alfred and Frank's indifference, as they were used to these situations, but Maria was horrified. Alex had no choice but to make her sleep too, as things would get more bloody.

The flying unit meanwhile was stunned by what just happened. They saw nothing wrong until all the cars just... blew up. They finally realized something was wrong, but it was too late. just as they were about to contact their head for further instructions, all the rotors were shot down and they started crashing towards the ground.

Realizing the danger, some more experienced members immediately jumped at the right angle and distance to minimize their injuries, but they too were shot down. How? By the dark Knights. They were always above Alex. They just avoided shooting the choppers in the city, just in case.

Alex had got most of the information from their heads, so he felt no need to let them live. The show wasn't over though, as more cars were moving towards his location, all with hydra members. But Alex didn't plan to kill them, as he needs something to keep his appearance. The NYPD or Shield would no doubt investigate this mess, and Hydra would probably use that chance as well, so all he needed to do was place an 'anonymous tip' to NYPD about corrupt officers going together somewhere while keeping Hydra's eyes away from that.

Seeing Hydra forces approaching from both sides, Alex turned the car, making it face the railings. He shot them, making a gap, and accelerated his car through it, making the car land from an even surfaced highway to rocky-uneven ground. But it didn't affect its speed at all, as the mainframe of the car was actually levitating, making the tires focus only on accelerating. This was possible due to the Gravity stabilization system in it. The groups trying to surround Alex from both sides were speechless from what they saw.

Their cars were made to be able to follow someone off-road, but definitely not at the speed at which the one they were trailing was going. The helicopters started following immediately and firing at Alex, who accelerated even more, which even the helicopters were having trouble keeping up with. But he saw exactly what he wanted. Soon, he finally saw the coastline, which was down a small cliff.

Activating the thrusters., Alex immediately went top speed and jumped the car from the cliff. The men in the choppers following him were in shock at all that was happening. Midair, the base of the car transformed again. The tires turned and went inside, while the whole base lit up with lines, glowing with repulsor tech. The car which was about to crash in didn't even sink, but floated over the waves, while the repulsors on the back pushed it forward.

And in barely five seconds as the car started floating, it rushed away creating sonic booms, leaving the choppers flying and the men gasping in shock. And the same shock was present on the face of the one who ordered them to kidnap Alexander knight and was watching everything happen. That acceleration wasn't possible even by their latest quinjets after all.

Alexander Pierce stared in shock at the scene through his laptop screen. But the expression morphed into one of greed, as he began imagining what Hydra could do with that technology. He thought it was guaranteed for Hydra to get knight's tech as if he was capable enough, the team wouldn't be alive like the first one. He did not know just how very, very wrong he actually was, but he was going to find out exactly that tonight!

*Knight Mansion*

"THAT DAMN TRAITOR!!" An angry shout could be heard in Alex's study, but the angry yell didn't escape the room at all. And the source of the yelling was Frank. After making sure his family was safe, Frank calmed all questions of the 'absurdity' he witnessed today, as he was more impatient to know who wanted to attack his family. And Alex gave all the information to him. About Project Cerebrus being an illegal operation, used for smuggling Heroine by the use of dead terrorists. And the one heading the operation was that squads leader, Ray Schoonover, and other members like William Rawlins and Morty Bennett.

Anger would be an understatement to describe what Frank was feeling right now. He was tricked to work on an illegal operation. He trusted them, treated them as life-long friends, yet all he got was betrayal. They made him kill a teammate saying he was a traitor, and now tried to kill his own family.

But right now frank wasn't the only one angry. Why? Because Hydra didn't attack only him. There was an attack on X-mansion, multiple warehouses of knight Industries, Stark industries, and even one on Felecia. The only reason none of them actually happened was because of the precautions he took beforehand. He did not take them for the warehouses, but the force there was more than enough to keep them secure.

And of all things, Alex does not forgive anyone targeting his friends, especially not when the said attack was going to be used against him. Alfred stood silently and watched as the two sitting in front had eyes that showed resolve that the ones who crossed them would burn for what they did.

"I need to go," Frank stood up and walked towards the door, then turned around and said, "...Please keep my family safe," He said.

"They will be safe, but do you have enough resources to stay safe?" Alex asked him.

"... Yes," Frank said after a while and opened.

"Fine, but just in case, there is an armory below the third garage with other items to help out. Alfred, if you will," Alex said to him, making Frank raise his brows.

"At once sir," Alfred said and got up. "This way Frank, let's go," Alfred said and moved forward.

Frank looked back at Alex who seemed to be focused on a screen in front of him, then followed Alfred. Meanwhile, Alex was focused on the live feed from one of his nanobots. Specifically, Alexander Pierce, the highest hydra agent in the World Security Council.

Alex chuckled and said, "Huh, Alexander v Alexander. Reminds me of the small fight with Useless Klaw." He watched as Pierce raged about not having any clues of the fight linked to Alex, and even more so when the media reported the NYPD catching a group of corrupt officers involved in an attack, which they were still investigating. Alex had set up everything to not link to him. He would destroy Hydra before they ever get a warrant to search his mansion. Not that they would find anything, but that would hurt his pride. One of the downsides of his Old God bloodline is his pride, which is way too low for any that ever existed, but it still exists.

"Oracle, show me the list of Hydra bases in USA," Alex said.

[Here you go,] Oracle said, displaying a holographic map of the USA showing bases marked in red. Alex spent staring at the location of the bases and then started selecting them in a random order, or at least it looked like that, but Alex's grin said otherwise.

"Perfect," Alex said, grinning.

[And the evil smirk returns] Oracle quipped which Alex ignored and said "Tell Dark Knights to attack the bases in the order I labeled them,"

[You do realize they are a group of idiots who won't get your message,] Oracle told him.

"Don't worry, I know that. It's just that the other bases... would be useful. For training the Defenders, or the Avengers," Alex said with a thoughtful look. "As for the message, he'll get it, so don't worry about that." He said and grinned again.

Just then, the door burst open and three blurs struck and tackled him to the ground. Alex's grin turned into a soft smile as he hugged his three lovers. "Well, how was your training?" Alex asked after a while.

"Hmm, it was the usual. Practicing katas, meditation, fights." Jean replied while Laura and Wanda nodded.

"So, who attacked you?" Laura asked, and Alex sensed some of her bloodlust leak.

Meh, some pests. Don't worry about it. Though if you do want to fight, you can go with Squad1. But I doubt you'll get a challenge though," Alex said, and Laura lost interest. Because her life became stable after meeting Alex, rather than a vengeful girl, she's kind of a battle maniac. Though, in his opinion, it's just one more thing about her to love.

Unable to hold back, Alex kissed her, which was reciprocated by Laura. Using space manipulation, he teleported them to the bedroom to enjoy the evening before going on patrol. But unknown to him, the few days were going to be quite hectic for The Defenders!
