July 14, 1943
After Hydra's headquarters fell along with the Red Skull, the war intensified Hydra's facilities were being eliminated rapidly from all over the world. Eldrin never rested; he didn't need to. He destroyed one facility after another, prisoners of war rescued, allies protected, but casualties were inevitable; everyone he failed to protect fuelled his fury further. Even when his allies needed to temporarily stop to rest or restore ammunition, he continued, his will to end this war and save as many as he could was immeasurable. By July 20th, all Hydra facilities were destroyed. What was once a powerful organization capable of conquering the world, given enough time, was now nothing but ruins
Narrator: Perhaps if Eldrin weren't here, Hydra could have survived; the Nations of this world simply couldn't kill them fast enough to completely destroy them, their ideology held true. Cut off one head, two more shall take its place, but unfortunately for them, they met the one person who could cut their heads off faster than they can regenerate.
Somewhere in New York, in a Dark alley, there was a man rapidly walking as if he was chased by something. His face appeared calm, but that was far from the truth. But then, a sound made him freeze
Thud!
A tall man landed on the ground in a superhero landing. He wore a black long-sleeved leather jacket, black pants, and a black mask that only covered his mouth. He was Bucky
The moment the Hydra agent saw him, he took a fighting stance, prepared to fight to the death
But when Bucky saw that, he simply calmly walked towards him
tap!
tap!
tap!
each step echoed in the alley, and when Bucky was finally within the Hydra agents' range
whistle!
The agent threw a fast high kick towards Buckys Chin, hoping to knock him out, but
TAP!
Bucky simply took a quick step back, narrowly avoiding the agent's kick, and then took a quick step forward and used the momentum to deck the agent in the face, with enough force to send him flying a few meters away. The agent's face was caved in; he didn't even react to Buckys movement. The leg he used to kick was still in the air when Bucky decked him in the face. It all happened under a second
Thud!
When Bucky saw that the man wasn't moving, he took a nearby trash can and placed it horizontally above the body's head. and then walked out of the alley and got in a car that was conveniently waiting for him
VROOM!
But he wasn't alone inside the car where two more people, it was Agent Carter and Steve Rogers
How did it go? Did he put up a fight? asked Steve, already knowing the answer but still curious
Bucky then answered with a smirk
He had Balls i give him that, but he would make a better dancer with that kick he threw, honestly, most of those agents danced more than they fought, maybe choreography was a requirement for their recruitment.
chuckle!
Agent Carter laughed at that and said
they are the most elite fighters in the world, you know. The poor guy was against a supersoldier, not much he could do to you
SHIELD HEADQUARTERS New York
How did it go? Did you take out the target? asked Dr.Abrahams
Yep, they should have found his body by now, answered Bucky
When Dr.Abrahams heard Bucky, he said, dumbfounded
You did not dispose of the body!?
Bucky answered, I didn't need to. I simply placed a garbage bin on top of his head to make it look like an accident
But DrAbrahams said incredulously
And you think that would be enough to fool people!?
Well, yes, unless there's a guy capable of beating someone to death with a 180-pound garbage bin, said Bucky
sign~
You've.. got a point, said DrAbrahams with a sigh, and then continued
I believe it is time to expand. We have completed many missions in the past week, gaining enough funds to recruit more supersoldier candidates.
Any recommendations? asked Dr.Abrahams while looking at the three supersoldiers
There are some guys I know who were rescued by Mr.Eldrin from our mission in the Alps, and another two from my unit. They are all good guys and brave soldiers, said Bucky while writing their names on a piece of paper and giving it to Dr.Abrahams
I will inform Colonel Philips to contact them, said Dr.Abrahams, and continued, the transformation will take place one day after they contact us, if they accept that is
Now, go shoosh! Dr.Abrahams said while shooing them away, but not before giving them folders filled with cash.
thud!
A few moments after they left, a figure rose from a shadow in the corner. He was Eldrin
Sorry to interrupt your alone time, Dr.Abrahams, but I have something important to discuss with you, said Eldrin while using the shadows to carry a strange briefcase
Dr Abrahams, long used to the sudden appearances of the man before him, said politely
There is no need to worry, Mr.Eldrin. I have plenty of time
When Eldrin heard that he was not interrupting, he walked towards Dr. Abrahams' desk and put the briefcase down. He then opened it,
click!
A blue glow filled the room, which made the Dr. cover his eyes. Eldrin then said
This is an ancient Relic called the tesseract. It has been used by many civilisations, including the Asgardians. It holds immense power not meant to be used by ordinary men; use it correctly, and a whole civilization could thrive. He paused his tone, then turned more serious. Use it incorrectly, and you will be the reason for the destruction that will follow. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? asked Eldrin
Dr.Abrahams, spooked by the cube holding such immense power in front of him, nodded and said in realisation
Are you entrusting this to me?
Eldrin nodded and said
I am, you are the person I could trust the most with this. I know you can resist the temptation of power, which is why I'm giving it to you, hide it, study it, you could even use it, but like i told you, use it correctly. I would prefer not to deal with another hydra, and make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands
This is too much of a responsibility, Mr.Eldrin. Are you sure you should be entrusting it to me? What if I fail
Eldrin looked at the doctor and said with a smile
You won't, but even if you do i will be there to help you
