In Marvel With Guild System

Chapter 32: Infiltration & The Twins' Gambit

The chill of the Sokovian night bit at Adam's exposed skin as he crouched on a rocky outcrop overlooking 'The Castle'. The ancient fortress, now a modern HYDRA stronghold, loomed ominously. Below, a small, heavily armored patrol truck rumbled past, its headlights cutting through the fog.

"Entry point clear," 'Ghost' whispered into Adam's ear-comm, their voice a digital rustle. "Two guards on patrol near the old boiler room entrance. They're on a ten-minute loop. You have a three-minute window after they pass."

"Understood," Adam replied, his gaze fixed on the Twins. They stood ready, clad in Guild-issued stealth suits that absorbed light and sound. Wanda's face was a mask of concentration, Pietro's a mixture of eagerness and focused energy.

"Remember the plan," Adam reiterated. "Wanda, you first. Infrasound Scrambler, then 'Mind Veil'. Pietro, you're on cleanup and securing the path."

Wanda nodded, adjusting the small scrambler on her wrist. The patrol truck passed. Three minutes. She moved, a dark whisper against the night. The instant she reached the old boiler room entrance, a faint, almost imperceptible hum emanated from her device. The two guards, previously alert, suddenly seemed to sag slightly, their movements becoming sluggish, their eyes unfocused. Their comms, Adam noted from 'Ghost's feed, crackled with static.

[Wanda Maximoff – Skill Activation: Mind Veil!] [GP Cost: 10 per minute active. Current Duration: 1 min. Adam Stiels – Guild Points (GP): 25.75 - 10 = 15.75 GP!]

A shimmer, barely visible to Adam, enveloped Wanda. She became a walking blind spot, her presence erased from the guards' peripheral vision, her thermal signature masked. She slipped past them as if she were never there.

Then Pietro was a silver streak, a gust of wind, darting through the now-open boiler room door Wanda had unlatched. He moved with 'Phantom Steps', utterly silent despite his impossible speed. Inside, motion sensors around the main corridor shimmered with faint energy, but Pietro's speed created a temporary vacuum, moving so fast that the sensors couldn't register his presence before he was past them. A tiny, almost unnoticeable click echoed through Adam's comms – Pietro disarming the pressure plates near the main lab entrance.

"Pressure plates bypassed," Pietro's breathless voice came through. "Wanda, coming up on the main door. It's reinforced. Big lock."

"On it," Wanda replied. Her power hummed, a soft crimson glow emanating from her fingertips as she focused on the heavy lock. It wasn't brute force; it was a subtle manipulation of the tumblers, a shift in molecular alignment. The metal groaned, then clicked open with a soft thud.

[Wanda Maximoff – Skill Activation: Molecular Manipulation (Subtle)!] [GP Cost: 15 per lock. Adam Stiels – Guild Points (GP): 15.75 - 15 = 0.75 GP!]

Adam held his breath, watching the live feeds. His GP was almost gone. Every action now was critical.

Inside, the lab was a scene of scientific madness: arcane machinery, glowing energy conduits, and in the center, on a raised pedestal, encased in a transparent, reinforced cube, was Loki's Scepter. Its blue glow pulsed faintly, a beacon of immense power and future destruction.

"Scepter sighted," Wanda whispered, her voice filled with awe. "It's… resonating. It feels alive."

"Don't touch it directly without the kit," Adam warned. "Pietro, get in there. Use the 'Covert Ops Kit' for handling."

Pietro was already there, a blur, retrieving the specialized containment field from the kit. His hands, moving at superhuman speed, worked meticulously, covering the Scepter in the field before gently lifting it. The blue glow dimmed, contained.

"Got it," Pietro announced, a triumphant grin in his voice. "Shiny blue stick secured. Exfil?"

"Exfil!" Adam confirmed. "Reverse course. Same route. Maintain stealth. Any sign of trouble, use those Micro-EMPs, Pietro."

This was it. They had it. The ticking time bomb that would become Ultron, in their hands.
