Haven City

James hopped out of the truck heading towards the command center.

Keith got out following him

James headed inside to the war room. "Wonder how bad it is."

"I'd say pretty bad" Keith said looking over the maps. "We calling everyone in on this one general?"

Frank nodded. "Yes, I want all of the Guardians in on this one."

"We'll have to find Jill and Arthur then" Keith said

"20 bucks says I know where they are." James smirked a little looking the map over. "Jesus, the Latverians brought all their toys to the party."

"Bad enough when I was worried about catching you two now you've got to put that image in my head" Keith said shaking his head

James chuckled. "What? Your sister is a firecracker." He said.

"Please, stop talking" Keith said trying to reach her or Arthur

James chuckled sitting down.

Frank looked over as Tony Stark entered with James Rhodes.

"General." Stark said nodding to Frank. "Captain Hart." He said nodding to Keith. "Miller." He said walking past James who rolled his eyes.

"Secretary." Frank said. "What can I do for you now?"

"Well I'm here to tell you that Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes here is being reassigned to the Special Corps for the duration of the conflict with Latveria. I'm sure the War Machine armor will come in handy."

"It will." Frank said. "But a simple message could have handled this, what else?"

"Well our friends over at SHIELD have run into some trouble regarding a spider of theirs." Stark said.

"Natalia." James said walking over to the table. "What's happened?"

"Mention a pretty girl and James comes running." Stark said.

"Could say the same about you Tony." Rhodes said.

"Still haven't answered my question, Secretary." James said.

"She's gotten herself into some trouble...she infiltrated a HYDRA base in Africa, in the Congo to be exact. SHIELD lost contact with her and now well SHIELD is spread pretty thin with the situation in Europe so we're doing them a favor. I want the Special Corps to investigate the situation and bring Agent Romanova back home." Stark said.

"Arthur here, we're on our way", he told James.

"Alright, see you soon." James said.

"Must we go" Jill pouted "I was just getting comfortable."

James looked at her. "So let her be a prisoner because you're comfortable?"

(Is James with Arthur and Jill or at the base?)

(I thought they had already arrived? Nevermind then if not)

(don't know, saw shiney say they were on thier way)

(Okay then nvm ha)

"It's urgent, Jill, we'll have time later", Arthur said and got dressed.

"Alright" Jill sighe getting up "Let's go save the world."

James sat in the armory putting his armor on as Jason and walked in and leaned on the wall with a smile. "So, HYDRA huh?"

"Yeah." James said looking over at him. "You ready for this?"

"For what? Oh you mean my promotion?" Jason smiled. "Yeah I think I can handle a squad."

James nodded. "How are the men?"

"They're good, of course they were disappointed with you joining the Guardians."

Chris was with Erica getting ready.

Arthur kissed Jill on the cheek and goosed her before putting his shirt on. "Such enthusiasm."

"So we're rescuing the Black Widow huh?" Jason smiled.

"Yeah." James nodded helping to put some equipment on a VTOL.

"Heard she's quite the hottie." Jason said.

"She is, but I wouldn't try anything." James said.

"Why not?"

"Well, her name is the Black Widow for one." James said.

"Yeah, true." Jason nodded.
