Also someone asked about the real life equivalent actors for Jessica Drew and Gregory Stark.
Jessica Drew/Megan Fox
Gregory Stark/Simply RDJ with blonde hair and blue eyes. (Use your imagination people)
***
His energy rifle, which of course he invented, in his hands, Gregory Stark began doing a little dance as he started to move down the path that lead to Strykers' base operations center.
But before he could even get a good ten feet one of the bases security teams arrived in front of his path and without any hesitation opened fire on him.
Though not paying this any attention Gregory just continued dancing his way forward.
The bullets eventually striking him.
Bouncing off his super suit harmlessly as they did.
Telling Gregory paying all that money to buy the small amount of Vibranium he used to create his and Jessica super suits, until he could acquire his own steady supply of the metal, was absolutely worth it.
(A/N: Sorry. Forgot to mention how Gregory got the Vibranium for the suits in the previous chapter)
Seeing their bullets not affect their target in the slightest the security team was left utterly shocked.
"What the fuck?!" One of them shouted. "How is he still coming?"
"Is his suit made of Adamantium?" The team leader muttered.
Finding himself close to the truth but not quite.
Since Gregory did not have yet access to enough Adamantium to integrate it into his, and his allies, super suits.
Though like with his scarce Vibranium supply that would change in the future.
Ignoring the whispers of the security team in front of him Gregory aimed his rifle at them and then pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
Blowing off each one of the security teams heads from their bodies.
Since unlike a certain prince of Thunder Gregory is always going to aim for the head.
As the bodies fell to the ground Gregory continued dancing past them.
Stryker and his men in the bases operations center left utterly stunned by what they just witnessed.
Fear finally beginning to creep into their minds as they realized just exactly what they were up against.
***
While Stryker and his subordinates in the bases operations center began understanding just how fucked they might be, in another part of the base Jessica was making her move.
For as soon as Gregory made his entrance, and worked to get most of the attention of the personnel within the base on him, she entered through a secondary entrance, and began making her way to the section of the base where the prisoners were being held.
All with the side of Athena.
"Right, then another right, now go forward and take the first corridor on your left." Athena instructed Jesica through the comms of her suit.
Which were the nanites of the suit that composed her mask.
Giving simple acknowledgements Jessica continued onward.
Until after turning a corridor she found herself running right into a security team.
"Halt!" One of them shouted, raising their rifle and aiming it at Jessica the moment he registered her.
But she ignored his words.
Instead she closed the distance and then jumped, wrapping her legs around the security team members neck who was aiming at her, before twisting her body.
An audible pop echoing through the air as Jessica snapped the man's neck.
Then before any of his fellow security team members could blink Jessica dispatched each and every one of them with brutal and cold efficiency.
Her actions reminding her of all the times she has done the same thing in the name of Hydra.
Leaving her with a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach.
Though it was lessened because Jessica knew the men she was currently killing were just as bad as her former enslavers.
That's why she was showing no mercy.
The same she would show to Hydra when the time came to end then.
In under five minutes Jessica dispatched the security team.
She then continued on her way, guided by Athena.
Until eventually she reached the door leading to the containment wing of the base.
Which was closed.
"Athena, what's the issue?" Jessica asked.
Athena knowing exactly what Jessica meant.
"I am unable to access the controls of the door Spider-Woman." Athena replied.
Using Jessica codename.
Gregory having ordered everyone to use codenames while our in the field until he said otherwise.
Since he didn't want to take the off chance their comms might get hacked.
"It seems the containment wing is run on its own separate systems, which are isolated from the rest of the bases internal network." Athena quickly explained. "But simply place your palm on the access panel and I can quickly rectify the situation."
"Understood." Jessica replied.
She then placed her left hand atop the access panel to the door.
After Jessica did this several nanites from her suit detached and then entered into the containment wing systems.
They then acted as relays, allowing Athena to access them and within no time at all she had complete access and control.
"I'm in." Athena spoke.
She then opened the door in front of Jessica.
Who then entered into the containment wing.
After which she once again dispatched any base personnel she came across.
Until eventually she located the cells containing the current prisoners on the base.
Of which at the moment there were only five present.
John Proudstar.
A Native American parahuman with enhanced physical capabilities. Strength, speed, senses, etc..
[Inssrt Image of John Proudstar/Thunderbird Here]
Clarice Ferguson. A parahuman with the ability to create portals that allow her to travel almost anywhere instantaneously.
[Insert Image of Clarice Ferguson/Blink Here]
Armando Munoz. A parahuman whose body is hyper adaptable and changes itself to suit almost every conceivable situation Hector finds himself in.
[Insert Image of Hector Munoz/Darwin Here]
Sarah Rushman. A young parahuman with the ability to control the shape, density, and growth of her own bones.
[Insert Image of Sarah Rushman/Marrow Here]
Then finally there was Kurt Wagner. A parahuman with super agility and reflexes, whose man ability, just like Clarice, was the power to teleport. Only unlike her Kurt didn't do so by creating portals but by simply teleporting himself.

The moment Jessica came to stand in front of the prisoners cells all of them looked in her direction.
"Who...who are you?" Sarah, the youngest, bravely asked.
"Your ticket out of here young lady." Jessica replied.
Right after she did all of the cells unlocked and opened.
They also depowered.
Allowing the prisoners to once again access their abilities.
"If you want to live follow me. If not that's your choice." Jessica said.
Since she knew some of them might not immediately trust her and she didn't need those kinds of people slowing the rest of them down.
Looking at Jessica once again none of the prisoners said anything as they all stepped forward and surrounded her.
Leading her to nod her head. "Thank you all. You're making the right choice. I assure you. Now, let's head out."
"Wait, aren't you going to help nice lady?" Sarah asked.
"What do you mean?" Jessica asked.
"There's a doctor here. A woman. Whose also a prisoner." Clarice spoke.
"Show me where." Jessica said.
Nodding the prisoners she freed led her to a door.
One that was heavily reinforced. It even had large tumblers visible on it.
'Just why would they need to hide a single female doctor behind this massive door?' Jessica thought.
Moving closer to it to look for an access panel of some kind.
Only to find none.
Instead Jessica only found a single keyhole.
"Shit." She muttered.
"Athena, connect me to Sentinel. There's been a complication." Jessica spoke.
"Understood." Athena replied.
She then connected Jessica and Gregory comms.
The former then explained her current situation to the latter.
"Understood." Gregory replied, upon hearing Jessica explaintion. "Get the prisoners you have freed back to Excelsior. I'll handle the rest from here and I'll call if I need back up." He said.
"Right." Jessica replied. She then turned to the prisoners. "We're getting out of here."
"But what about the lady?" Sarah asked.
"My partner will get her. Or I will. But I can't focus on freeing her if all of you remain with me. You'll be in danger. So let's go." Jessica spoke.
The former prisoners, even Sarah nodding at her words.
Once they did Jessica began leading them to safety.
Hoping she wasn't making the wrong choice.
***
While Jessica did this Gregory continued his dance of death towards Stryker and his men in the bases operations center.
Come A Little Bit Closer replaying itself over and over again.
Courtesy of Gregory and Athena who wanted to fuck with the enemy.
A task they were succeeding in as Stryker subordinates all had dead looks on their faces.
Save for Stryker himself who was still angry.
"Enough of this! Deploy the weapon! We're ending this now!" Stryker shouted at the top of his lungs.
His men deciding to follow his instructions and deploy this weapon he spoke of.
Leading the man to put a smirk on his face.
"Keep laughing while you can Sentinel, for soon I'll have the last laugh." Stryker spoke.
As he did in another part of the base a single containment pod opened.
Smoke coming out of it, nothing inside visible, until a pair of eyes suddenly appeared through the smoke.
Along with a feral growl.
