Overview/History:
The Age of AIDA arc is a major story arc in Heroes Unlimited involving members of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Avengers (not till later) and HYDRA. Then in the Framework it involves The Crusade (Framework), HYDRA (Framework) and S.H.I.E.L.D (Framework). The arc begins with A.I.D.A a rogue A.I recreating the Framework back to an Hydra occupied environment led by Baron Helmut Zemo. S.H.I.E.L.D were just going about their business when Life Modal Decoy's or LMD'S invade Zephyr One a S.H.I.E.L.D jet plane on the orders of HYDRA. The LMD'S trap the team inside the Framework and subject them to hell. Lance Hunter was one of the only ones alongside Mack and Deke Shaw to not get trapped by the robots. As Lance ventured in with the help of THETA Deke and Mack had to defend Zephyr One from destruction by HYDRA fighting jets.

HYDRA's Hack:
Daisy Johnson aka Skye was trying to hack HYDRA's accounts to drain them off any finances so they cannot get any weapons or try to get world domination. However Hydra hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D and in particular THETA corrupting her programming and making way for the reborn A.I.D.A and the path of dominance of HYDRA.

The Trap Is Sprung:
HYDRA had created some LMD'S or Life Model Decoy's of Trevor Mann and Hannah Turner to serve them. They kidnapped Phil Coulson, Jemma Simmons, Leopold Fitz and almost got some other nameless agents but it didn't happen. A trap had been sprung by the HYDRA organisation and it had worked to perfection. Daisy, Mack and Shaw was not around at the time of the attack and Lance and Bobbi were retired as this was happening.

Life In The Framework:
Coulson's Team witnessed everyone pass them by enjoying their day as the team entered the Framework for the first time in a long time and had to adjust to life in the Framework. Grant Ward revealed himself as the HYDRA Security Officer/Warden and publicly outed S.H.I.E.L.D as public enemies number one sending them underground into hiding. Fortunately for Coulson's Team they got swept away by members of The Crusade a resistance movement intent on stopping HYDRA's foothold from being permanent.

The Tide Turns:
HYDRA invade the Crusade's base knocking out Jemma, Leo and held Coulson at gunpoint. They took him into a van which would then get hijacked by THETA. Coulson would then receive instructions to head to a warehouse where the gateway to return home from the Framework.

The Hunter Is In:
Lance and his ex wife/best friend Bobbi Morse were enjoying temporary retirement when Phil and THETA contacted him to go back to active duty and he reluctantly agrees. He works with THETA to willingly get into the Framework so that he can do his work. He heads inside and wakes up bare in a bath tub. However he notices a 3 piece immaculate suit and heard a high pitched voice calling out to him. It is revealed to be his "wife" Morgan Hunter. After a recollection of events with Lance blaming alcohol for the confusion which is a fake to go along with his cover story.

Hunter's Meeting:
Lance and Morgan had to have a meeting with the HYDRA Security Officer Grant Ward to Lance's alarm. Lance however chose to go along with the plan especially knowing that he has a large amount of wealth and is living in a mansion. Ward comes in baring a scar on his right cheek caused by Tyler Mann (Framework) after a meeting just like this. Ward and Lance get along well and the meeting goes according to plan even if Lance gets alarmed for the second time due to the amount of rent that is needed ($100,000). After the meeting Lance and Morgan have a conversation about the wealth so that he can understand what they have.

Hunter's Mission:
The same night as the meeting Lance snuck out of the mansion and never came back. A few months later he has bought an apartment and saw the citizens of the Framework walking on by and vowed to once again show the world that HYDRA is a tyrannical organisation and he'll do it from the inside. At a checkpoint Lance kidnapped a Hydra Soldier and tortured him for information that he needed before killing him and taking his outfit as a disguise. He then made his way to the checkpoint to take shift before every guard got called back to the command centre by Grant Ward and Baron Helmut Zemo.

Hunter's Last Fight:
Lance Hunter went into the command centre and first was tasked with protecting a Hydra Scientist while he worked on experiments for the Supreme Leader but quickly gets called by Grant to follow him. He takes Lance to a secret room and hoping that their chemistry was still good started to talk to Lance like a man. Coulson communicated with Lance telling him about the escape plan and where to meet which incensed Ward. A fight ensued between the two with Ward calling Lance a traitor with Lance responding that he is S.H.I.E.L.D through and through. Blood, bruises and scars form throughout the fight with Ward getting an identical scar due to Lance cutting his foe with a cleaver knife. Finally Ward smashed a glass vase over the back of Lance's head knocking him out. Ward took him to where Coulson's Team is.

The Avengers Involvement:
"'For too long........FOR TOO DAMM LONG HYDRA HAS CONTROLLED OUR LIVES' - Hawkeye speaking from the heart."In the Avengers Mansion in New York City The Avengers got a SOS from Captain America (Earth-928) telling them of what has happened to Coulson's Team and tells the team that they need to defend the world that they are in from HYDRA to which after his epically aggressive speech Hawkeye accepted. Black Panther asks Clint to calm down but gets cut off by the arrival of Captain America (Earth-616) to everyone's shock."'If anyone is going to enter the Framework it's me' - Steve Rodgers (Earth-616)"All Avengers agree that if Phil and his team did not return within 24 hours, Cap would go into the framework himself. The team understood even though Clint was disputing it trying to be respectful towards the super soldier. Steve quickly shot him down and walked away just to calm down.

Coulson Returns:
Coulson, Jemma, Leo and Lance returned to the real world and narrowly missed getting killed by the trojan horse of HYDRA and A.I.D.A. It is revealed that Mack and Deke had to fight off HYDRA fighter jets and defend Zephyr One. Now Coulson has to help his fledgling plane stay afloat.
