July 25, 1943

In an underground laboratory in New York, pained grunts could be heard from 5 capsules

After a few moments, the capsules opened, revealing the 5 men in them

One was a tall man with a height of 1.90 meters, he had a magnificent mustache, blue coloured eyes, and short reddish hair. His name is Timothy Aloysius Cadwallader Dugan, also known as Dum Dum Dugan

The other was also a tall man with a height of 1.92 meters. He was of African origin, he had short black hair and a short black beard. His name is Gabriel "Gabe" Jones

On the third capsule stood another tall man with a height of 1.82 meters. He was of asian origin, he had short brown hair and brown eyes, his name is James "Jim" Morita

On the fourth capsule was an absolute tank of a human. He stands at 1.95 meters tall, he has short black hair and blue eyes. Before taking the serum, he was already at peak physical condition weighting 240 lbs, but after the serum, he became something else; he currently weighs 340 lbs. It is uncertain whether his strength has reached beyond normal supersoldier level. His name is James Montgomery Falsworth

And finally, on the last capsule stood a man with a height of 1,90 meters, he has brown eyes and short and black hair, his name is Jacques Dernier

Hohoho baby! That's what I'm talking about! said Gabriel while marveling at his now perfectly built physique

Not bad said James while nodding in satisfaction

The rest were speechless 

What kind of drug is this, said Dum Dum Dugan in awe

The kind that elevates ordinary men to the peak of humanity, said Dr.Abrahams with a slight smile

Congratulations and welcome to SHIELD said Dr.Abrahams to the five new supersoldiers

Now follow me with have much to discuss said Dr.Abrahams while walking towards the training room, and the new supersoldiers followed

This will be your training room, it has every piece of equipment you will need. Here, you can test your new abilities and practice, he said, while walking to the other room. This is the storage room. It has weapons, vests, uniforms, and other necessary gear, though if you require custom equipment, you can tell me. He then pointed at the doors in the hallway. Those will be your personal rooms, of course, it is optional to live here, and finally, this is the main room where you will receive missions. You have a monthly salary of 4000 dollars, excluding mission rewards. The harder a mission is, the more money you will receive upon completing it, and as we expand more and more through the years, your monthly salary will increase, along with mission rewards

He then paused and turned to look at the shocked and excited new supersoldiers and said 

Any Questions?

After thinking for a while, Dum Dum Dugan said

Is there a bar here? Can you cover my tab?

DrAbrahmas then thought with realization after he heard Dum Dum Dugan

How did I not think of that before? If I were to build a bar here i could receive a steady income, which would slowly increase SHIELDS budget, and why stop there? What if I created an official super soldier fighting competition? What should I name it? I thought, then suddenly an idea came to mind: Super Soldier World Fighting Entertainment.

YES, THAT'S RIGHT, I'M A GENIUS. People would love that, the supersoldiers who want to participate would gain more funds, and it can serve as a way to integrate supersoldiers into society. I won't have to worry about society not accepting the supersoldiers and making their lives hell, i though with relief

I was always worried about society not accepting supersoldiers because they're different, but now there's a way for both to live in coexistence, i though with a smile and then said 

I must thank you, Mr.Dugan. You have given me a great idea, and for that, I will build a bar for you and cover your tabs for life.

YES! said Dugan, excited, while raising his fist in celebration

The war continued, but as the days passed, the Germans started to show signs of surrendering after they saw what happened to Hydra. When the whole world's attention turned towards them, on July 29, they finally announced their surrender after news that Hitler had taken his life, officially ending world war 2 the forces allied with Germany did not dare to fight back, surrendering after Eldrin personally visited their leaders for a totally friendly casual chat

The world could finally recover the people could finally rest, finally freed from the fear that war brought with it

On a mountain filled with snow, there was a lone wooden house. Inside the house was a man sitting on a couch beside the fireplace, reading a book. He was Eldrin

The man then closed the book and got up from the couch to walk out of the wooden house 

He then opened the door and walked out while also closing the door

Thud!

He then flew rapidly towards New York, and after 1 hour, he arrived and slowly lowered himself to the ground. He was in a crowded street, and many people noticed him

OH MY GOD ITS THE DARKLING said one man in the crowd

GASP!

Everyone was shocked and excited when they heard that

But after a while, they left, not wanting to bother their hero

When Eldrin saw that, he smiled and thought

People of this age have vastly different mindsets i must say, but when thinking of the future, he said i guess it was the internets fault after all
