I looked at Steve as he sat in a bed as a nurse took his blood.
"Think you got enough?" Steve asked rolling down his sleeve.
"Any hope of reproducing the program is locked in your genetic code. But without Dr. Erskine it would take years." Peggy said.
"He deserved more than this." Steve said sadly.
"If it could work, only once, he'd be proud it was you." Peggy told him.

"HYDRA is the Nazi deep-science division. it's led by Johann Schmidt. But he has much bigger ambitions." Peggy explained as we walked over to Colonel Philips and a couple other men that stood in front of the strange submarine.
"HYDRA is practically a cult. They worship Schmidt. They think he's invincible." Colonel Philips said.
"So, what are you going to do about it?" One of the men asked.
"I spoke to the President this morning. As of today, the SSR is being retasked." Colonel Philips said walking over to Peggy and I.
"Colonel?" I questioned.
"We are taking the fight to HYDRA. Pack your bags, Agent Carter, Agent Barnes. You, too, Stark." Colonel Philips told us. "We're flying to London tonight."
"Sir? If you're going after Schmidt, I want in." Steve said.
"You're an experiment. You're going to Alamogordo." Colonel Philips told him.
"The Serum worked." Steve said.
"I asked for an army and all I got was you. You are not enough." Colonel Philips stepped to walk away.
"Colonel, you can't do this to him. He's better than any Soldier you've ever had even before the serum." I protest.
"Then if you feel that way, Agent Barnes you can stay with him." Colonel Philips told me.
"(Y/n)..." Steve started.
"I've made up my mind." I say.
"With all do respect to the Colonel, I think we may be missing the point. I've seen you in action, Steve. More importantly, the country's seen it." One of the man known as Brandt, who was previously with the Colonel said as he stood in front of Steve. "Paper. The enlistment lines have been around the block since your picture hit the newsstands." A man walked over handing Brandt the paper.
The headline read, 'NAZIS IN NEW YORK MYSTERY MAN SAVES CHILD.' I scanned the page and found some stuff about me but not as much as there was about Steve.
"You don't take a Soldier, a symbol like that, and hide him in a lab. Son, do you want to serve your country on the most important battlefield of the war?" Brandt asked.
"Sir, that's all I want." Steve agreed.
"Then, congratulations. You just got promoted." Brandt said.
—————
I stood by Steve as he took some breaths.
"I don't know if I can do this." Steve sighed.
"Nothing to it. You sell a few bonds. Bonds buy bullets. Bullets kill Nazis. Bing bang boom. You're an American hero." Brandt's Aid said.
"It's just not how I pictured getting there." Steve said.
"The Senator has got a lot of pull up on the Hill. You play ball with us, you'll be leading your own platoon in no time. Take the shield." He told him. "Go."
