Chapter Text
They were ambushed.
No warning, no sign, just an immediate surrounding of their team and near instant takedown. Supposedly, The Avengers were the top team, the ones sent in to minimize damages, or the ones sent in to quell threats that normal humans couldn't deal with. Ever since the Accords, the team that was fractured slowly made their way back to one another, healing wounds and burying hatchets. Some rifts were yet to be fixed up fully, such as between Stark, and Rogers and Barnes, but they all were able to work together for the most part.
The main group, Captain, Iron Man, Thor, Widow, Hawkeye, and Banner on coms for Hulk wasn't necessarily needed at the moment, was supposed to infiltrate a base that was a suspected terrorist hub. The group was so down low that they didn't even have a name, well that anyone knew of. It was supposed to be a simple in and out. They would land a quinjet about three klicks away, hike through the forest, or fly if possible, and do their jobs once they reached the base. The hope was to be as undetectable as possible in taking the base down. Previous teams had been sent in to determine if the base was actually a hub for this organization, but none of the teams ever reported back, which was why the Avengers were creeping around.
They were ready to break the treeline and head in when each member realized that they were surrounded. Sure, it could have been an easy fight out, if it was a normal terrorist group, or even Hydra, but somehow, these men and women seemed to know exactly what each of their weaknesses were. It was mere seconds before the soft sounds of bodies hitting forest floor were heard, and the shuffle of boots against leaves.
They didn't even know what hit them.
