The dawn of a new day brought with it a sense of anticipation and urgency. The grand hall of the negotiation venue was abuzz with activity as diplomats and officials prepared for the finalization of the historic agreements between Bharat and the United Kingdom, with the United States as a key observer.
Meeting Room, New Delhi
The room was filled with a mix of tension and hope. Aryan Yadav, Sardar Patel, and other key Bharatiya leaders sat on one side of the table, their expressions resolute. Opposite them, Sir Archibald Wavell and the British delegation appeared more composed, having accepted the inevitability of the situation. Captain America and Peggy Carter, representing the United States, took their seats as neutral observers, ready to ensure fairness and justice.
Aryan Yadav began, his voice steady and authoritative. "Gentlemen, after thorough negotiations between Bharat and the UK, we are here to finalize agreements that will not only recognize Bharat's independence but also establish a fair trade relationship. Let us proceed with the terms we have discussed."
Sir Archibald Wavell reluctantly nodded, signaling his readiness. "We acknowledge Bharat's rightful claims and are prepared to formalize the agreements."
The terms were meticulously outlined, each clause reflecting the hard-fought negotiations:
1. Recognition of Independence: The United Kingdom formally recognizes Bharat as an independent and sovereign nation, effective immediately.
2. Reparations: A phased reparation plan, with substantial payments to be made over a period of ten years, ensuring economic stability for both nations.

4. Withdrawal of British Troops: Complete withdrawal of British troops from Bharat within three months.
5. Transfer of Technology and Knowledge: A comprehensive plan for technological and educational exchanges to aid Bharat's development.
6. Non-Interference: A binding agreement ensuring non-interference in Bharat's internal affairs by the United Kingdom.
7. Fair Trade Agreement: Establishment of a fair trade agreement to promote economic cooperation and mutual growth. This includes:
- Tariff Reductions: Gradual reduction of tariffs on goods traded between Bharat and the UK.
- Market Access: Enhanced access to each other's markets, fostering a balanced trade relationship.
- Investment Protections: Safeguards for investments made by businesses from both nations.
- Dispute Resolution Mechanism: A fair and transparent system to resolve trade disputes.
As each term was read aloud, the room remained silent, the gravity of the moment palpable. Aryan Yadav's eyes scanned the faces of the British delegation, ensuring their commitment was genuine.
With the terms agreed upon, the final step was the signing of the documents. Aryan Yadav and Sir Archibald Wavell stepped forward, each taking a pen in hand. The room held its breath as they signed the agreements, sealing the future of Bharat as an independent nation and establishing a new era of economic cooperation.
As the ink dried on the agreements, the atmosphere in the room shifted from tension to relief and cautious optimism. The path to justice, reconciliation, and economic cooperation had been paved, and the future of Bharat as a sovereign nation was now a reality. The leaders shook hands, symbolizing a new era of cooperation and mutual respect.
The negotiations had been long and arduous, but the outcome was a testament to the resilience and determination of Bharat's leaders. As they left the room, there was a sense of accomplishment and hope for a brighter future.
Unknown location, New Delhi, Bharat, October 7, 1942
Baron Zemo and his subordinates sprinted through the dimly lit corridors, their footsteps echoing with urgency. The KAVACH agents, relentless and resourceful, were hot on their trail, employing their unique metahuman abilities to thwart every escape route.
"Dammit, I severely underestimated the Bharatiya security measures."
"They even had metahumans working under them. If I had known this, I would have planned more carefully, but now all of our plans have been destroyed," he lamented while escaping in a hurry, followed by some of his subordinates who luckily escaped with him.
Zemo's meticulously crafted plan was unraveling, each step forward met with unforeseen obstacles.
"Shit!! Be careful!!"
Suddenly, the temperature plummeted, and a wall of ice erupted before them, blocking their path. Simultaneously, flames roared to life on the other side, creating an impassable barrier of fire. Rudra, with his temperature control powers, stood at the forefront, his eyes blazing with determination. He commanded the KAVACH agents with precision, their coordinated efforts overwhelming the Hydra operatives.
"Argh.."
"Shit.."
Zemo's men, disoriented and outmatched, struggled against the onslaught. The agents of KAVACH, trained and resolute, moved in swiftly, subduing the Hydra members one by one. Zemo, realizing the futility of resistance, watched as his subordinates were overpowered, the mission crumbling around him. The clash of ice and fire, the shouts of combat, and the resolve of the KAVACH agents painted a vivid tableau of justice prevailing over tyranny.
After the arrest of all the members of Hydra, Rudra clicked on his earpiece, informing the headquarters.
"Mission accomplished," he reported in a cold voice.
Aryan's Office, New Delhi, Bharat, October 7, 1942
Having completed the agreement with the UK, Aryan Yadav bid farewell to the delegations of the USA and UK. As he returned to his office, a sense of triumph mingled with the weight of responsibility. The moment he stepped inside, his secret communication channel buzzed to life.
"KAVACH to Aryan. Hydra agents, including Baron Zemo, have been apprehended. Their memories have been searched, and all known information has been gathered," the voice reported.
Aryan's eyes narrowed with determination. He had been in constant contact with KAVACH, aware of the infiltration and the sinister plans of Hydra in Bharat. The revelation that Hydra's plot involved the assassination of American diplomats and Captain America added a layer of urgency.
"Understood. Schedule a meeting with the USA delegation immediately," Aryan instructed, his voice firm.
The gravity of the situation demanded swift action. Aryan knew that addressing this threat required collaboration with the United States, ensuring that justice would be served and future plots thwarted. As he prepared for the meeting, the resolve to protect his nation and its partners burned brighter than ever.
The room was prepared swiftly for the urgent meeting. Aryan Yadav sat at the head of the table, his expression a mix of determination and concern. Secretary Hull, Peggy Carter, and Captain America entered, their faces reflecting the gravity of the situation.
Aryan began, his voice steady but urgent. "Thank you for coming on such short notice.
"We have been in contact with American security officials about the nefarious plot of a Germany-based organization called Hydra whose leader, along with some spies and assassins of the organization, had tried to infiltrate Bharat's defenses. Their objective was to kill all of the American diplomats along with Captain America and put evidence to prove that this was the doing of Bharat."
"As a consequence and response to this, we have apprehended Baron Zemo and his Hydra operatives."
Hearing this, all those present in the room had suddenly hardened expressions, thinking deeply about the matter. Captain America had clenched his fists in anger after hearing of the plans of Hydra but was thankful to the Bharatiya security arrangements that thwarted their plans.
Secretary Hull, thinking about taking advantage of this situation and pulling Bharat completely to their side, leaned forward, his tone serious. "Mr. Yadav, this is deeply troubling. We appreciate your swift action. However, this raises a critical question about Bharat's stance in the ongoing war. Your nation's limited participation has been noted, but this threat suggests a need for closer cooperation."
Peggy Carter nodded in agreement, appreciating the swift response of Bharatiya forces, and said, "Yes Aryan, the presence of Hydra here indicates a broader strategy. We need to ensure that such threats are neutralized effectively. Bharat's involvement could be pivotal."
Captain America, in an appreciative tone, added, "Aryan, we appreciate your help in capturing the Hydra members. The safety of our diplomats and the stability of this region are paramount. We need to work together to prevent any future threats. Your nation's resources and strategic position are crucial."
Aryan took a deep breath, his resolve clear. "I understand the implications. Bharat has maintained a neutral stance, but this incident shows that we cannot remain isolated. We are prepared to increase our cooperation with the Allies, focusing on intelligence sharing and joint operations against common threats like Hydra."
"However, this decision cannot be taken lightly. I have to call for a meeting of all the political parties to discuss the matter as well as the impact of this decision on our people."
Secretary Hull nodded, his expression softening slightly. "We understand, Mr. Yadav. We will await your decision and hope for a positive sign of future cooperation. The stakes are high, and your support could be a turning point in this conflict."
Peggy Carter leaned forward, her tone respectful yet firm. "Aryan, there is another matter we need to discuss. The intelligence gathered from the Hydra captives could be invaluable to the Allied forces. We request that you transfer Baron Zemo and his operatives to American custody. Their knowledge could help us dismantle Hydra's network and prevent further threats."
Captain America added, his voice steady, "This information could save countless lives and strengthen our efforts against a common enemy. We assure you that they will be treated justly and that any intelligence will be shared with Bharat."
Aryan considered their request, the weight of the decision clear in his eyes. "Hmm, I understand the importance of this intelligence. I will discuss this with my team and ensure that the best course of action is taken for the safety and security of all involved."
The room fell silent, the gravity of the moment sinking in. The future of their cooperation hung in the balance, and the decisions made in the coming days would shape the course of their alliance.
