"You know what? You should start building bigger controls for Hulk. If I transform, I doubt I'd be able to use this," Bruce suggested

"Like Hulk a Hulk controller?" Natasha turned the magazine's page, glancing towards Jay and Bruce, sitting on the floor, with their back against the sofa, playing a video game.

Bruce paused the game, looking at Natasha lying on her side. Her elbow resting on the sofa, her head rested on her palm, wearing long black sleeves silk pajamas, "that is actually a good idea. It could even be an ice-cream flavor."

Natasha looked up, impressed, "hmm, I can imagine that." She patted Jay's head, "why don't you try that? Naming Ice-creams after Hulk. There is already one with Iron Man's name."

"You three have nothing better to do than talk about Ice-cream flavors and controllers?"

Jay glanced back, watching Cap walk over with a white towel around his neck, "it's better than exercising all the time."

Captain sat down in front of him, sighing, "after what happened. I don't know what else to do."

"You sure know how to bring the mood down, Cap." Jay leaned back, shooting a look at Steve.

Natasha pulled on his hair, probably to tell him to go easy. Well, in some ways, it was his fault, so he shouldn't be the one to say anything. About three days ago, when he came back home from Sokovia.

He came here to check on the prisoners from Hydra when Bucky started going crazy. Erasing emotions behind the memory? Yeah, not a good idea. Although it freed him from the brainwashing, he remembered being trapped in his own body, watching himself killing people. He didn't like that, and so he created a scene.

He gave two choices, throwing him in prison or releasing him. Since Steve didn't want to see his best friend in prison, he decided to lend his teleporter and help him escape.

Steve nodded, "I do apologize for all the trouble I caused."

Jay gave him a troubled look, "You know what? There is something I should apologize for as well."

Steve shook his head, "No, you really shouldn't. Without your help, I might be working for Hydra."

"Yeah, that's true. But I forgot to give you a number. I think you should take to that person first," Jay took out his cell, dialing a number. He threw the cell towards Rogers, "do me a favor and talk somewhere no one can hear you?"

Steve glanced towards the cell, confusedly looking towards Jay until he heard a voice. He opened his mouth to speak before rushing out, shutting the door behind him.

"What was that?" Banner curiously looked at him, making Jay scratch his cheek, "about that."

Jay glanced towards Natasha, scratching his cheek, "it's something troublesome that I should have told Natasha long ago."

Natasha had been taking in the situation without asking anything when she heard about it, "me? What?"

Jay looked down at the controller, "I think...you should take a trip as well."

"I have no time to take a trip, which this Hydra mess."

"No, trust me. You should take this one. It's important," Jay pressed his lips. About to say when the door opened, and an unsure Steve walked out. He tightened his jaw, giving the cell back to Jay, "I am leaving for Boston."

Jay nodded, taking back the cell. But Bruce and Natasha turned towards him simultaneously, "you are leaving?"

"You can't leave. Hydra is still out there."

Steve's eyes darted between them, turning towards Jay, "you didn't tell them."

Jay shrugged, "will you? You know what will happen if it got out?"

Steve hesitated, "Bucky was seen in Boston. I am going to go after him." "Ok." Jay didn't say anything while Steve walked back towards his room to pack."

"Is this one of those classified things?"

Natasha shrugged, "don't ask me. I have no idea what is going on."

"Yeah, about that. Echo, send Natasha the files on operation RR."

"Yes."

Natasha furrowed her brow when a message appeared on her mobile. She narrowed her eyes, becoming silent, making Bruce rub his arms, "is it just me, or did it get cold in here."

Natasha's lips moved, her surprised, unbelieving eyes looking at Jay, "Is this true?"

"It will take you about three to four hours for you to get there. I think you should go and check out those coordinates."

Natasha hesitated when Jay sat up, leaning deeper, kissing her lips, whispering softly, "go. The world won't fall if you take a few weeks off."

"Few weeks?" Natasha thought to herself, standing up, "I'll inform Nick." She walked behind, leaving for her room, pausing beside him, "also, don't kiss me again."

Jay pressed his lips, looking down, nodding, "Ok."

Bruce sucked in a cold breath, glancing towards slam the door, looking at Jay with a pained expression, "you got dumped. You got dumped hard. What did you do?"

"I told her that I slept with Betty." Jay shrugged.

Bruce watched him, laughing, not believing, "you didn't." Shortly, the laugh turned into hesitation, "you didn't, right? Noooo, you didn't?"

Jay shot a look at him, "she hasn't had sex in a year and more. I highly doubt kissing would help a lot longer. If you don't want to see in someone else's bed, you should really get that transformation in control. Btw, I am the first one in the line."

Bruce sat up, "it's not that I am not done preparing for the experiment."

"You are scared?"

"Yeah, in a way. Last time it didn't go well, and I don't want anything to go wrong."

Jay took a deep breath, standing up, "all right. Let's go, let me help you."

"You? Are you sure?" Bruce skeptically looked at Jay.

"Wow, thank you for all the trust in the guy that provided you a solution."

Jay walked inside the elevator room, filled with numerous elevators, Bruce following, explaining, "No. I just presumed that you asked someone to find the solution for you."

Jay raised his chin, "Hm, you are not far off. But don't worry, I do understand these things."

Bruce got inside the elevator with Jay, "So? What did you do that you got dumped?"

Jay scratched his head, "Yeah, there are so many that I am not sure where I should start."

Bus, Briefing room,

Monica looked around at Melinda, Fitz, Simmons, Coulson, Skye, "explain to me why do we have to steal 0-8-4? From SHIELD?"

"SHIELD is on a lockdown by order of World Security Council. Director is still negotiating, but till then, other government units like the CIA, FBI, and others are still going through all of SHIELD's files. But Jay thinks if SHIELD could be infiltrated, and two Senators can be Hydra, then there is a chance there are a few agents inside the CIA and FBI. This 0-8-4 is special, and it might lead to another of Hydra's cells. We need to get it before they do."

Skye curiously looked at the screen, "what is this 0-8-4?"

Jemma let out a troubled smile while Fitz held his head, "0-8-4 is the code for unknown."

Skye looked up, looking down, "Oh, yeah...right..."

Coulson cleared his throat, "all right, here is the thing. You need to be stealthy, and you cannot touch the 0-8-4. I have the special gloves here, which you will be using."

"So? Who's going?"

"For the sake of protection, Monica is going, with Skye and Melinda. Bring the 0-8-4, and we can let our resident scientist and engineers give it a view."

"Btw, where is our leader?" Skye curiously looked up.

"He? The only answer I got was that it was classified," Coulson shrugged, "other than that, I don't know. Anyway, let's do this. The faster we show results by capturing even one of these things? The better situation SHIELD will be in."
