A Hotel of Two Tales

[ngm_hydra]

The decrepit-looking hotel near a waterfall in Colombia was a case of the facade not quite matching the interior. Early 20th century grandeur fought against years of disuse and nature's reclamation. While the first floor retained some of it's moldy and waterlogged appearance, it was a deception to keep the local guerillas uninterested in the goings on inside the building. With late night experiments leading to flashing lights in some of the windows, the locals, gun-toting or not, spoke about the old hotel as a haunted location.

The head of that nest was counting on interlopers of the goody-two-shoe variety. Though the planned team wasn't the ones in blue and white. Either way, Huntress 19 had called in assistance from extra nests.

Steve scanned his location, the flanking maneuver getting them past most of the obstacles within the jungle itself. However, the open area ahead of them? Yeah, no good.

"No path through? Great. Welp, who wants the song and dance number?"

Steve? Not a happy Coulson.

"This can be done, but we'll lose any advantage we might've had. Once we get in, we'll have to move fast and decisively."

Nikki finally came up behind her brother with her pack on her back, "I have enough charges to flatten that house, they can be set off from anywhere on the planet. Preferably after we leave."

If they could trust anything, they could trust Nikki to know her bombs.

Joe finally arrived back at the group and looked to Sammy.

"What's the plan, Fury? Other than me going in to goon-sweep while you guys proceed to the target?" he asked.

"I'll get us across, but after that we're in full fight mode. Anything we touch while I have time paused will go off once I let it go. At best, our advantage might be a few seconds to a few minutes while they look for anybody caught in the traps."

Simon took a few quick breaths to steady himself. He could do this. He could do this.

Joe looked at Sammy.

"Do your thing and get us in. I'll give you more time to get in and get your bearings." he said.

He placed a gloved hand on Sammy's shoulder.

[agent_timeout]

Sammy pushed up her sleeves. "We're going to move as fast as possible. Do not let go or you'll find yourself in a bad war movie. Clear?"

[simon_didnt_say]

Simon touched Sammy's other shoulder. "Clear."

It wasn't the time for a wise crack. Nikki held her arm, glancing over to her brother to make sure he was squared away.
