Canadian Winter (in June)
It was a risky move, but it had to be done. Shostakov was no friend to the royal family and if he was taken into government custody decades of work would be lost. If his comatose body could be grabbed by those who had the same interests, he could possibly be revived and work on the projects could resume. That 'son' of his knew what his father had been doing, but the kid didn't know half as much as his 'father'. No, they needed Shostakov and they had to get him before others did.

The warning was sent from a small internet cafe computer and bounced through two dozen different nodes around the world before it reached its destination in Canada. They had to be warned that the Russians were coming. Hopefully they would respond appropriately to the incursion into their land and during the conflict and chaos Shostakov could be taken out of there.

There were a lot of variables, but it would go as planned. It had to.

"Too many. Russia has a lot more super agents than Canada. I'm getting word that they have one who has done a ton of damage, but only to an unmanned area, and someone in their tech side has hacked a lot of the hospital computer systems. The only up side is that SHIELD is faring a lot worse than we are, so we can only take so much flak over this... but we need to get to the prisoner now. We'll ask questions later."

The strike comes with surgical precision. The Dynamo had withdrawn out of immediate sensor range, gone cloaked, and then come back in a brutally straight line, plowing through hospital walls, bypassing the SHIELD agents outside the room with Alexi's body.

Shouts from the hallway, along with the doors starting to creak open, barely registered as Kiska scooped up her price, making sure to secure it to stay in one piece for her escape.

	Jordan frowns. "Given that you just invaded our country, you'll forgive me if you and your allies don't have a lot of credibility right now. For the moment, all of the agents we've defeated are prisoners, pending a review by SHIELD. If the story checks with them, then we'll talk release terms with your government."

"Allow me to restate - I am in communication with SHIELD right now. This conversation is being recorded. You have invaded a sovereign nation, and kicking our asses with numbers will not change that." he states calmly.

"Because this is obviously sensitive, and because there is some chance your agent was telling the truth, and we both have an international incident to avoid, you have one chance, before a Canadian agent, and international law enforcement, to surrender. Otherwise, the recording of Russian agents invading a hospital in Canada, a nation which they are not at war with will be played before the United Nations security council, whether I survive this confrontation or not.

Your government has a leak, someone told us you'd be here. Do you want to let us clear you, and work together to try and deal with a terrorist being freed by an apparent rogue power... or do you want to be on the hook for undoing every iota of diplomatic progress Russia has made in the last two decades?

Your choice. I really recommend you stand down now."

	Zviad shakes his head before speaking. Yes he knows he'll likely get chewed out for this. Yes the rbass back home would consider him soft-stomached. But..someone had to back down for the greater good, someone had to be the coward. "He is right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Good. SHIELD has better info resources than we do, report to them, and they'll check your info. I've already turned over the computer trace to them... if, and only if, you cooperate fully with their investigation, I'll consider turning it over to your government as well to help you try and find the leak. Meanwhile, I'll try and smooth things over a little with our politicians, seeing as, you know, we've been invaded."

Yeah, not happy at all. He'd love to clock this guy... but right now this was a disaster, and he's having to swallow his pride and be reasonable.

Well, at least Mason hadn't seen her change like that. He'd already seen her at her worst once. She didn't want him seeing her like that again.

When Alpha had beaten Omega Flight, she'd nearly beaten one of them to death, had lost control. When Mason had been fighting for her honor and his life, she'd very nearly started changing--only Kassi's telepathic intervention had reigned her in. Then she'd nearly...

And now this.

A hybrid of Plodex, Atlantean, and human... who knew what other dark secrets lay inside her.

Somedays, she wonder if she was fit for human company.

Zviad took a step forward.

"No one is disputing that fact. Yes, this was done the wrong way, but in all honesty do you believe your Department H would have willingly released the criminal to our custody?" Zviad wanted to cooperate and he sure as hell didn't agree with his government's actions, but he didn't appreciate the younger man's attitude. If even half of what he'd heard about their superiors was true, then they had little right to lecture the Guard.

Jordan looks at the Dynamo, unruffled.
"With all due respect, sir, if I didn't understand your motivations, I would be turning over all of this to the international court, not offering to help you plug your intelligence leaks.
That said, he was captured because he was operating here. He should have been turned over to you immediately, to avoid international problems. But that wasn't my decision, and there was legal right to hold him... despite my disagreement.
There is no legal justification for invading a sovereign nation and attacking a hospital. None. This should be seen as an act of war...

And I'm going to do everything in my limited power to make sure the Canadian government gives you a free pass, provided your information checks out - because we benefit more from working together now than waving our dicks at each other.

I'm doing this because, first, I understand the frustration with politicking... secondly because as long as we have the tapes on hand, instead of sending them to the U.N. security council, it makes it far, far less likely there will ever be a repeat performance. Third, because I think working together will achieve more results, and finally, because I believe strongly that he should be in someone's custody more than I want to fight over jurisdiction.

So, do you want to argue and let the bureaucrats decide this, or do you want to play ball with me? You'll prefer the results of option B, I guarantee."

	Red Guardian held his hand up to silence Zviad. They didn't need to have things escalate again. "Kiska Illyavich is the name of the Crimson Dynamo pilot who took off with the body," he said. "She has always been loyal until now. I can provide the names of the other pilots of the Federal Dynamos. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No apologies necessary... we have a chance to sort this out between the super-people before the bureaucrats get involved. As long as you guys can see fit to make sure repairs to the hospital are paid for, I think I can smooth this over. Right now, we've all lost a terrorist. Given that they were wearing Russian hardware, I'd prefer SHIELD verify that no one is lying... as soon as they clear you, I'll give you everything in our records on Alexi's operations here in exchange for everything you know on those pilots, and we'll see if we can make progress by sharing... deal?"
