In the Hydra laboratory, the air thrums with tension as Dr. Arnim Zola, his hands steady despite his nerves, carefully inserts the glowing Tesseract into the heart of his machine. The device whirs to life, gauges flickering.

“Twenty percent,” Zola announces, his voice taut. “Forty. Sixty. Stabilizing at seventy percent.”

Johann Schmidt, his presence dominating the cold, metallic room, steps closer, his eyes gleaming with ruthless ambition.

“I have not come all this way for safety, Doctor,” he snaps, reaching for the controls.

With a decisive twist, he pushes the machine to its maximum, and a surge of blue lightning crackles through the chamber, illuminating the walls with an eerie glow.
