Swiss Alps

Shego trudged through the snow, her traditional green jumpsuit on, underneath a thick coat. It had been a busy past few week, with a bunch of new history popping up. She remembered the phone call she received while Steve was out on one of his morning runs.

Shego was eating breakfast when her cell phone rang. She begrudgingly set her fork down and walked over to where it was sitting on the counter. Steve was out on his morning run, and he probably wouldn't be back for another hour or so. She grabbed the phone and quickly checked the caller I.D.

'Great' she thought as she walked over to the couch. 'Hego.'

She sat down, took a deep breath, and answered the call.

"What," she snapped, not wanting to speak to him any longer than needed.

"Good to hear from you too sis," Hego said. "How is life as an Avenger."

"It has its perks," Shego said, looking at her nails. "What do you want?"

"I have some interesting information that was brought to my attention earlier this week," Hego said. "It's family history."

"I don't think I care about that," Shego drawled. "Our parents dumped us as soon as they got the chance after we got our powers."

"That's another thing," Hego interrupted her. "There are things about your powers that you should know. Things that might change your view on your world as you know it."

Shego just sighed and knew that Hego wouldn't stop until she at least spoke with him.

"Fine," Shego said. "Where?"

"I know you're in DC," Hego said. "I've got Mego and the twins with me. We will meet you at the diner on 32nd."

"Fine," Shego said, standing up to put some respectable clothes on. "I'll be there in 10."

She hung up the phone and tossed it back on the couch. She walked over to the counter and jotted down a note for Steve that she was headed out and wasn't sure when she would be back. After that, she went into her room to change into less conspicuous attire.

Shego came over a ridge and looked at a giant compound hidden within the mountains. She knew who it belonged to, and she knew what happened here about 70 years ago. That was the main reason she was here. And it all started in that diner.

Shego entered the diner and immediately went to the booth she saw her brothers at. They were surprisingly low profile too, off from their flamboyant attitudes. Shego slid in next to the twins and looked expectedly at Hego.

"You have about 5 minutes to peak my interest or I'm gone," Shego said gruffly, getting right to business.

"She hasn't changed a bit," Mego said.

"That's good," Hego said. "We need her back like this."

"What are you talking about," Shego asked and Hego pulled out a file.

"I was called by a man named Alexander Pierce a couple weeks ago," Hego said, setting the file on the table but not quite giving it to her yet. "You know him."

"Yeah he works for Shield," Shego said. "He deals with the World Security Council now, mainly because they kicked Fury out even though Fury will say he didn't want to deal with them anymore."

"Well he wanted to meet with us," Hego said. "Said he had some very important information about our family."

"So Hego gathered us up at Go Tower and he arrived with a couple other people," Mego continued and then the Wegos jumped in.

"Brock Rumlow"

"Rollins"

"Jasper Sitwell"

"And some guy with a metal arm"

"He didn't say much," Hego said. "I'm guessing he was there on mainly scare factor. Anyway, they all sat down and he presented us with this information."

Hego slid the file over to her and kept explaining while she read.

"You know how our parents would never tell us who our grandparents were?" Hego asked, and when he got a nod from Shego he continued on. "Well Pierce told us. Our Grandmother on our mother's side was named Sinthea Shmidt."

"Is that name supposed to mean anything to me," Shego asked, looking up at him.

"Not likely, she didn't go public with that name a lot," Hego said. "She went by Sin most of the time, and Sin-"

"Is the villainess who is also famous because she's the daughter of the Red Skull," Shego finished, eyes now wide.

Hego nodded and Shego looked down and sure enough, there was record proof of everything. Birth certificates, DNA tests, hell even pictures of Sin holding her mother as a child.

"So we're related to the Red Skull," Shego said slowly and lowly, knowing that the Red Skull was still not a popular figure.

"That is correct," Hego said. "That is also how we manifested our powers. You see, the Red Skull had almost the same serum that Captain America had. But it was unfinished and caused the deformity that you know as the Red Skull. When the Red Skull had Sin, the serum went dormant, not manifesting in Sin, nor our mother. It didn't manifest with us until the comet hit, giving us our special powers without the deformity."

"But whereas the Red Skull got everything the serum provided," Shego surmised. "We only got the parts the comet hit and the serum enhanced them."

"That is correct," Hego said.

"So why are you telling me this," Shego said. "What is the point of this information."

"We want you to join us," Hego said.

"Join you?" Shego asked. "In what?"

"You see Alexander Pierce is only working for Shield as a cover," Hego said. "What his real goal is to reestablish Hydra in the world again. It's been growing inside Shield ever since the war ended."

"You want me to join Hydra," Shego scoffed, now thinking her brothers were delusional. "And what makes you think that I would even consider that."

"Because we said the same thing when they asked us," Mego said.

"But then they showed us this information," Wego added and Shego flipped the page to reveal some very nasty pictures.

"In the Red Skull's last battle," Hego continued. "Captain America killed him as he was trying to accomplish his mission."

"The Red Skull was planning on blowing up the entire east coast," Shego said. "Captain Rogers did us a favor."

"That's what we thought as well," Hego responded. "But that was the one thing that Pierce admitted. The Red Skull was far too drastic. He said that when you try to control people by force, they resist. That's what was Hitler's downfall, that's what was the Red Skull's downfall. His rise led to the creation of Captain America, which led to his demise."

"So Hydra thinks their leader kinda went off the deep end," Shego said, now slightly interested. "What else did they tell you?"

"It's what happened with Sin and our parents that peaked our interest," Mego said.

Shego flipped the page on the Red Skull and was immediately met with a very disturbing picture of her grandmother, disfigured and bloody. Body thrown on the floor with guns next to her.

"Good God what happened to her," Shego asked.

"Shield happened to her," Hego responded, eyes getting dark. "She took after the Red Skull for a bit, but then settled down and had a child."

"Mom," Shego finished, and Hego nodded in affirmation.

"Right," Hego said. "So, Shield killed Sin, but our grandfather managed to escape with Mom. He went into hiding and managed to elude Shield. He settled in Go City, where Mom grew up and met Dad. They spent their lives together and got married. Then we all came along."

"Then they ditched us," Shego said, with a little uncertainty. "Or did they?"

"The left for our protection," Hego said, presenting a new page to her. "Shield had found Mom. They were still unsure about where allegiance was with our family, and if the serum would be present with us. They started to send people after our parents. So, they took off, but left us in a safe place. Well, they were found by Shield strike and this happened."

Hego flipped a page and there was a photograph of a car on fire with charred bodies hanging out the sides. Shego covered her mouth in horror as she saw what really happened to her parents. At the bottom of the page was the worst part. Fury, Nicholas J. His orders. He knew the entire time what happened to her parents, how they were killed on his orders, and he never told her.

"On Shield's orders they were murdered," Hego said. "Then when they found out we started doing good for the world as heroes, they left us alone. Problem solves itself kind of way. Fury went on to becoming the Director and started working on bigger projects. Like,"

"The Avengers Initiative," Shego said and Hego nodded.

He flipped a page and there was a list of names on it, under the header: Avengers Initiative Possible Recruits. Shego glanced through the list and noted some familiar names and some unfamiliar. Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Carol Danvers, James Howlett, Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Ben Grimm, Johnny Blaze, Peter Parker, Shego, Hego, Mego, Wego.

"That son of a bitch killed our parents and then would have tried to convince us to join his team," Shego said, seething now.

"And had he asked before Captain America was found," Hego said. "Black Widow and Hawkeye were created, and Thor came to Earth, we probably would have said yes."

Shego felt her hands glowing green in anger. She never had a normal childhood because of her powers, but also because she didn't have any parents. If she had her parents, maybe they could have helped her. Maybe she wouldn't have worked for Drakken after turning evil. She would have never done battle with Kim Possible and then befriended her in the end. She would have made friends in Go City, done good from the beginning, who the hell knows, maybe even find a nice guy and get married.

All taken away because of Shield and Nick Fury.

"At least come and talk with Pierce," Hego said. "He'll be able to explain everything to perfection. And why you need to do this."

Shego just nodded, flipping back to the picture of her parents dead and letting the anger consume her.

Shego walked up to the main entrance of the base now. She could see that there was a patch job on the door, presumably from the last battle that took place here in 1945. She got to a point to where cameras would recognize her and put her hands on her hips, waiting. The door opened and about 20 soldiers poured out, automatic weapons at the ready and pointed at Shego.

Shego chuckled and took off her coat as she was surrounded, her green jumpsuit now visible as she lit up her hands, nothing but anger in her eyes.

"You boys probably want to seriously rethink what you are doing," Shego said, a smirk on her face. "Things that have gone down the last couple of weeks, you do not want to test my patience."

"Hold your fire," a man said, walking out.

He was wearing a suit, greying hair, with glasses on. He stepped between the lines of soldiers and walked forward. Shego recognized him immediately as Alexander Pierce.

"Agent Go," Pierce said, extending a hand.

Shego extinguished her hands and took his hand, "Secretary Pierce."

"I hope your trip went well," Pierce said. "I take it your brothers gave you the information."

"They did," Shego said. "Where are they?"

"Getting their positions at Shield," Pierce said. "We're putting them on project Insight, something we will tell you about very shortly."

"And Romanoff," Shego said. "She knows who they are."

"Let's skip the formalities with her," Pierce said. "We both know that she's Kim Possible. Yet another of Fury's secrets he has let slip. Don't worry though, they know her schedule and where to stay away from. Miss Possible won't know what hit her."

"Good," Shego said, looking around. "It's impressive, what you've accomplished."

"Thank you," Pierce said. "70 years in the making, and we finally are prepared to put Hydra right back to the top. You would be the perfect finishing piece."

Shego just nodded and looked around again. Pierce shivered and gestured back to the base.

"Let's get inside shall we," Pierce said. "It's cold out here and we have a lot to discuss. Unless I am forgetting something."

"We do have a lot to discuss," Shego said. "But you are forgetting one thing."

"And that is?" Pierce asked, clearly ready to explain anything that she needed.

"I know this is normally a send off," Shego said. "But after these last few weeks to think about things, I thought you might want to know this."

A very evil smile came to Shego's face, one that was previously seen at the peak of her villain career with Drakken. She simply spoke two words that would seal her fate forever.

"Hail Hydra."
