storytelling

The Winter Soldier knows that sometimes, in order to make the kill, you must destroy what the Target lives for. Steve Rogers knows that he can't fight his captors. If he fights, they'll kill Bucky. But the price of his life is steep. Natasha Romanov would rather die than watch the Soldier struggle. It reminds her too much of herself. Tony Stark has nothing left to live for, but he's needed. So all these miserable motherfuckers better stay alive, too. Bruce Banner just wants to not be needed. And maybe he isn't - not for the Other Guy, not this time. Thor knows not what curse lies over Midgard, but it has taken his heart, and he will have vengeance. Sam Wilson is sick and tired of his friends getting hurt. What good is flying if you can't stop people from hitting the ground? Clint Barton never expected to be a leader. But a leader he is, and no one else is going to die on his watch. --- A story in which the first wave of Project Insight succeeds, and the Avengers must pick up the pieces and find a way to stop Hydra from completing its work with Zola's algorithm.
