Peter's p.o.v
"Up and at 'em soldiers!" I heard and shot up and got into line.
"Here are the profiles on who will be at the Stark expo" I was handed a file, so I took it.
"Read it, memorize it, use it, get the guy" the man said then left.
I made my way back to my seat and scanned through the profiles having the Winter Soldier follow and sit next to me.
Tony Stark, A genius, billionaire, philanthropist, Playboy. A.k.a Iron man
Not our guy.
I scoffed quietly to myself and rolled my eyes while the Winter Soldier just looked at the same info as me, lost.
Natalia Romanova Spy from S.H.I.E.L.D and originally from Hydras red room...
That's rough
A.k.a Black widow
Next,
Clint Barton known as hawkeye, was in the circus after he ran away with his brother, later found by S.H.I.E.L.D and trained to be a spy
Nope,
Pietro maximoff a.k.a Quicksilver from Sokovia and part of Hydras weapon development
Wanda maximoff a.k.a Scarlett Witch also from Sokovia and part of the weapons department
I rolled my eyes, of course
Bruce Banner a.k.a The Hulk
A nuclear scientist that works with Stark
I scoffed again,
Thor Odinson a.k.a God of Thunder
Can be found in Norse Mythology and is Most likely off-world
Interesting,
Sam Wilson a.k.a falcon, a military veteran joined S.H.I.E.L.D as a recruiter
How many more are there?
Steve Rogers
The Winter Soldier froze.
"What did you say?" He asked and I showed him the profile
Steve Rogers a.k.a Captain America failed experiment in the 1940s, Found early 2011 and was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D.
"He was never a failed experiment," the Winter Soldier spoke with venom lacing his voice
Ok, so dead friend not so dead?
Stephen Strange, wizard Doctor
T'Challa a.k.a Panther
Seller of Vibranium, part of UN
Bingo,
"that's our guy. He's wearing a dark purple suit, should be easy." I said pointing to his name and the Winter Soldier nodded.
"Steve was everything but a failed experiment," the Winter Soldier said looking down but didn't say much more as the man walked in
"Ready soldier's," the man in the doorway said
"Ready," both me and the Winter Soldier said as we stood and got in line, closing the profiles and discarding them somewhere.
We were landing somewhere and needed to get to a Stark Tower.
The man must be in my head because he handed me a picture
"That's the tower that you need to get into for the Vibranium," he said then went back to look for something else
That's an ugly tower, who the hell would or want to live there? And it's like, in the middle of New York, so much for not drawing attention.
The Winter Soldier was still frozen, but not in cryo. So, shock?
"You'll also need this watch to take down the towers security. Easy right? Good" the man said not noticing that the Winter Soldier wasn't responding.
Was he shocked that his friend is still alive? I mean I'm shocked, the Winter Soldier is maybe around 96 because he's from the 1940s, and it's like 2010. So his friend would be like, 95 because the Winter Soldier sometimes mentioned his friend that was younger than him by a year. And you're not allowed to have 'friend's' in Hydra, so his friend should be dead right around this time. Just like him.
But apparently, he wasn't?
"Get ready for landing" the man said and we got ready, making sure we had our weapons, the plan, and the new gadgets.
"3," he said and I did a double-take on everything
"2," he said and I got ready to jump
"1" I ran and jumped off the plan, it was low enough for us to land on a near roof and make our way to the Stark tower.
I'm glad it was around 8 at night, but it was still hella busy. I've never seen anything busier, or lit up with life.
I still had little time to gaze at my surroundings, but I thought I caught a figure lurching in the shadows
do the mission and get out. Right.
Once at the tower, we had our plan set in motion,
We snuck in with a group of random people, and before we passed security, I disabled it and the top ten floors of the tower and any backup systems that the place had, which was around ten, that was too easy.
The cameras, bells and everything else was now off, we had free range as long as we didn't get caught.
We split up to look for the Vibranium, and I walked around like I was meant to be there, on my way I bumped into a kid that smelled of self-hate, and that of a spoiled brat.
"Hey man, watch where you're going." He spat and tried to grab my arm but I quickly took my arm out of reach and stared the kid in the eyes, with mine going red as blood, staring at his soul.
He liked to bully people seeming weaker than him.
Deadbeat.
He backed up looking terrified and bumped into someone, trying to quickly apologize and look back to me but by the time he looked back to where I was, I was gone, like I had never been their before.
I then walked into someone else and they grabbed my arm and pulled me into a dark corner.
"You maybe, really don't want to do this, you know that you don't want to," the figure said
"Fuck off," I said putting all my power behind a punch to this person's jaw, all it did was make them hold their jaw with their hand turning back to me,
"I forgot how hard I used to have to hit, and I knew it was coming too but didn't move." This person said mumbling, sounding amused
"That- That should have broken your jaw," I stammered confused and angry
"Ya well, I eat a whole lot more that I use to." They said and hit me on the bridge of my nose. Making me fall on my ass and hold my nose for a minute. The hell,
"That was only at a 5, with me on food, water and the proper nutrition that I need normally, me at a 10 could kill you right here, right now, but that's not me. Not anymore anyway. But for You that was most of your power that you could muster up behind that punch, and it didn't do anything to me." he said and crouched down in front of me
"Who the hell are you?" I asked and he looked down at the floor
"That's not important. When you get asked if you want to change, make the right choice, and go for the yes. I swear to you, you will not regret it." The person said and my nose was now mostly better, but the blood from my nose was still on my hands
The guy in front of me looked around and then seemed to get unsure
"I know you'll make the right decision, you always will," he said then turned and walked away
What in the fuck, just happened?
"Stop sitting on your ass, and get up. We have a mission to complete" the Winter Soldier snarled but it sounded forced out.
Turning it in was still in command
"Yes, sir," I said and got up standing in front of the Winter Soldier
"I found the Vibranium, and what the hell happened to your nose?" He said noticing the blood
"That I have no idea sir," I said really not knowing anything because I'm still trying to process what just happened only a minute before.
"Well, let's get this mission over with." He said then turned walking away towards the Vibranium and I followed him, some-what fixing my nose, or making it look better than it really is. My nose should be healed fully in an hour or so.
Yes, let's get this over with, and out of here, shit went down and I believe I'm crazy.
