Plot Outline & Teams

THINGS TO NOTE:

• In order to hit multiple locations at once, our villainess of the week (former-and-somewhat-current) HYDRA baddie Candice Lee has scattered various remote boxes connected to the trident from her central location. She is able to control the functions of the trident and the boxes they are connected to from there - hence the floods that occur around the world.

• Candy has sent her henchmen to each location to man the boxes. The henchmen won't be too difficult to take on - they're sort of a dumber offshoot of HYDRA. Think neckbeards and red hats with H.A.T.E. on them which actually stands for 'HYDRA Authoritarian Troop Enforcement' because why the hell not? Destroy the boxes, contain the floods, wipe up spills with paper towels, do whatever you want to the henchmen - there will be plenty for our heroes to fight!

• ENJOY!

You all get to man the cars and jets and boats and planes and trains controlled remotely from Wakanda. This greatly helps those who are in other countries and need a quick escape or a quick way to navigate watery terrain. Everything will take place in Shuri’s lab, so she is there to assist should anything go wrong, but just don’t wear sandals in her sacred space. Exposed toes get you a one-way ticket the fuck out.

It had been a long time since Hope had driven a speedboat, even one controlled remotely. She vaguely recalled adventures on San Francisco Bay when she was a kid with a still-intact familial unit; the bay was always packed with boats anyway, and they’d bring a picnic, usually, and also find time for a hike on Angel Island. She loved the calm water and the escape from the fog of the city.

But right now, nothing was calm and she really had her work cut out for her.

The speedboat she was driving remotely from the lab bumped through the waves, and she swore she could feel her own teeth chattering each time she sloshed up and over a particularly troublesome wave, riding it out - but otherwise, it seemed to be going well and she was keeping tabs on the rescue operations in Venice, where Scott and Clint and Tony were. Her goal was to not flip the boat, sending it cartwheeling across the pissed-off sea waves. So far so good.

“Bringing it up on the left,” she told the team, cutting through the water and her whole body turning from where she was driving in the lab. It was actually kind of cool, to be there but not be there - and she also got to sort of be with Scott too, interested in his well-being and making sure he was safe. Her fiance was not going to drown today, not on her watch.

Then of course the kimoyo beads flashed, a hologram of Venice’s mayor popping up. Great. “Either of you speak Italian?” she asked her SHIELD companions. “Because he sounds concerned.”

Bobbi and Fury shared a look before Fury picked up the comm and started speaking in fluent Italian. He spoke no less than 7 languages fluently, and several others passably. It was part of why he was as good as he was at his job. It didn’t take long for the director to assure the mayor that they were on it, and that this was only going to be momentary. It was the same canned answer they’d prepared prior to this, and he’d already given it to several different heads of state.

Ending the call, he focused his attention on the cars again. Nick would be lying if he said he wasn’t ecstatic over the concept of using the Wakandan cars. During their tour the last month, Shuri had shown him the labs and allowed him the opportunity to watch, and now, they were doing this.

He really needed to get her working for him.

“You know Bobbi, you’re driving that car like it’s the size that matters. It’s all in the handling.”

Bobbi had smirked for being asked if she spoke Italian, but before she could say anything Fury was on it. So instead she “translated” for Hope. “He’s telling them the usual bullshit. Just a drill. Nothing to worry about. Blah, blah, blah.” She winked as she grinned. “It never fails to surprise me how easily they buy it.”

Driving remotely was like real life Grand Theft Auto. “Hey, Fury. If I run over a bad guy do I get an extra paycheck?” She grinned. “Do we have a destination?”

Not gonna lie, the cars looked fun as hell to drive - Hope was pretty fascinated by it all too. “Just a drill works, I guess,” she grinned back. “I think having their minds set at ease makes it better for us too.” Less flailing politicians to worry about so the superheroes could get the work done. She wasn’t sure how the Accords situation worked - if it was still good outside of the United States - but it didn’t seem to matter much right now. Other cities, in other countries, were being flooded and it needed to stop.

“I’d say running over the bad guys is a good destination? Aim for the red hats?” she pointed out. “But that’s probably up to Boss Man.”

Fury had made a point to tell all the teams ‘minimal casualties’ and while he was aware that damage from cars could be fatal …

Fuck it.

“Go for limbs,” he said coldly and yet with an amused undertone. “Bonus points if you manage to knock their hats off. And sure, why the fuck not -- keep track and I’ll see if you get something more around Christmas time.”

It was important to have fun in the workplace.
