"We should check back at HQ before we head there, though. Just to catch up."
Johnny had a feeling he needed to stop back over there. It's been a while since they caught up with the Captain and Strange.

As Hawkeye and Torch left the building Zemo sat thinking to himself 'Richards is sorting the 42?" Zemo looked at Songbird "Melissa we need to get more info on this 42 prison, i think its going to play a major part in whats coming up!"
"No offense Helmut but how exactly do you intend doing that? the Baxter building is like fort Knox when it comes to security and Richards is no slouch himself." Songbird wondered why Zemo would need this information.
"Zemo's right if Stark is holding things back from us and only sending us after the minor leaguers then we need to show him he's got us all wrong, and if getting our hands on information about 42 gives us leverage then so be it." Atlas had taken offense to Hawkeyes comments about being manipulated by Stark. "after all it's not as if Stark hasn't screwed with this team before now is it?"
A loud crash came from upstairs and the assembled team members looked upward, into the faces of a re-sized Batroc and his Daughter, holding Blizzard over the balcony.
"My daughter tells me that the pig Hawkeye waz here, zat is one man that i hate, tell me who else is he working with?" Batroc spat the words at the Thunderbolts, all the while threatening to drop Blizzard.
The assembled team looked at one another then at Batroc, there was possibly one other man he hated as much as Clint, "Captain America!" the answered almost in unison.
Batroc's face changed to one of smug pleasure, he pulled Blizzard back over the balcony and made his way down the stairs, Batroc II looked over toward Smuggler as if trying to work out who he was.
"My apologies for our earlier behavior Baron, but since the 'incident' at Stamford we ave been keeping as you say a low profile?" This was the Batroc that Zemo was used to, polite when in his presence.
"Yes, we av been hunted before and we thought we could just hide away, hence the ridiculous clothing we bought from your filthy American shops." Batroc II was looking directly at Smuggler waiting for him to reveal his face.
"Silence child, the Baron and i are talking. as i was going to say before i was so rudely interrupted, it would be an honour to join your...." Batroc looked as the gathered heroes "team, if it means hunting those two imbeciles."
Zemo considered the possibilities, their fighting skills were impressive, and his ultimate goal was new membership, he just hadn't figured it would be this easy to get people to join up. "fine the two of you can join us.....for now, we'll take you back to your place to get your uniforms, but know this if you so much as put one foot out of place then you'll end up with every other villain we capture."
Songbird grabbed Zemo by the arm "are you mad, about a hundred people saw us fighting these two this morning and now your going to parade them on the team in their outfits!" she softly smiles as she spoke the last few words, Zemo picked up on them immediately.
"My associate has a point, we will get you new outfits, I'm sure Fixer has something you can use." Zemo smiled 'public opinion well done songbird' he thought to himself. "but for now i must ask you to stay behind as we go track down some people who....slipped through the net."
As the two team settled down to try to locate Power Pack via satellite scans of energy spikes, Batroc II walked over to Smuggler and pulled his mask off, "You, i don't believe it, but you were so clumsy when i showed you how to fight the other day, mind you not that you had improved earlier he he." Conrad stared at her. "Look I'm sorry but i had to get to know you this" he gestured around the room "is important to me."
Batroc II looked at Conrad leaned forward and whispered in his ear "i would av rocked your world little man." then she calmly walked away after her father and Fixer.
Continues in the Hunt Continues.....
