Chapter 15

Pov Abraham:

I'm a brilliant scientist as people says. Growing up, I was fascinated by the natural world and spent countless hours studying everything available. I became particularly interested in physics and dedicated myself to understanding the fundamental laws of the universe. My passion for science led me to pursue a career in research, and I worked tirelessly to develop new theories and make a meaningful contribution to the scientific community. I wanted to invent something that could cure any disease and improve human life.

However, my life took a dramatic turn when I was forced to work on a top-secret project by the German government. They took my family captive, and Johann Schmidt, one of the leaders of Hydra, pressured and mentally tortured me to create a serum that would enhance human physicality to the peak of human potential. I eventually made a breakthrough while researching a mysterious metal that Hydra had, and I discovered a unique combination of chemicals and biological agents that could grant superhuman strength, agility, and endurance. I named this serum the "Super-Soldier Serum."

Despite my initial success, I realized that the serum was incomplete, as it also increased inner emotions and had unforeseen effects if not stabilized. Schmidt desired to use the serum for himself, but I refused to hand it over, despite his orders and threats. Schmidt took the serum by force and had me imprisoned. He then injected himself with the serum, gaining superpowers but also experiencing painful side effects.

I was saved by Agent Levi Hart and Agent Peggy Carter, who helped me take refuge in the United States. With the help of Chester Phillips, I was employed by the Strategic Scientific Reserve to continue my research and aid the allies during the war. Once my serum was ready to be tested, I made further improvements with Levi's helpful suggestions and unique blood sample. I then found Steve Rogers, a righteous man with the will to never give up, to become a super soldier alongside Levi. But I didn't get to see them make miracles and help in stopping the Johann Schmidt.

As I lay on the floor, hit by bullets, I saw Kruger holding the serum. I turned my head with difficulty to see Steve, who called out to me. Steve cradled my bloody form and said, "I'll save you, Doc." I knew he couldn't, as I had lost too much blood. I felt weak but proud. I reached out and tapped Steve's chest. Then I saw Levi coming out of a hole in the wall, having taken down Kruger's partner. I smiled towards him.

Pov Levi:

As I emerged from the hole, I saw Dr. Erskine's body covered in blood, his hand still touching Steve's chest as if trying to convey a final message. Dr. Erskine's gaze then shifted towards me, and he smiled weakly before his chest stopped moving, his life slipping away. My eyes blazed with rage as I turned towards the one who had shot Dr. Erskine.

I followed the perpetrator as Steve had also rushed towards the exit just ahead of me. I entered the main antique store and found the old lady's lifeless body lying in her own pool of blood. I heard the sound of gunshots and exited the store to find Peggy staring intently at Steve, who was chasing after a taxi cab. The scene was chaotic, with Steve's determination to catch the killer palpable.

I started running towards Steve, who was chasing the taxi cab. Steve was running so fast that he lost control and crashed through a shop window. I wanted to check on him, but catching the intruder was my top priority. The taxi cab swerved past a parked truck, and pedestrians dove out of the way as it veered onto the sidewalk. I weaved between lanes of traffic, noticing Steve running some distance behind me.

The taxi cab swerved off the sidewalk, smashing a fire hydrant. I followed, tearing down the street, and after taking a jump onto the hood of a nearby car, I made a long jump towards the taxi cab. As I jumped, I noticed my feet glowing with a light blue color, but I ignored it for now and focused on the taxi cab. As I landed on the roof, Kruger pulled out his gun and fired at me while I clung to the side of the car.

We swerved through the streets, and just as I was about to punch Kruger, a horn blared. Kruger looked up to see a truck roaring towards him and yanked the wheel. The truck sideswiped the taxi, throwing it into a roll. I stood up, and saw bloodied Kruger, who had also escaped the wreck, firing across the way. Tourists waiting in line for their ferry gaped in shock.

Steven arrived at my side just as a bullet kicked up concrete at Steve's feet. Steve quickly picked up the torn-off taxi door, holding it like a shield. One tourist snapped a photo as Kruger fired again at Steve and me. The bullets hit my body, but to my surprise, they bounced right off - a new development, as I had known I had hard skin, but not this hard. However, one bullet ripped through the shield door, and a shrapnel tore at Steve, but he kept coming.

Kruger then turned and ran, shoving through the pack of waiting tourists. He grabbed the smallest boy, putting a gun to his temple. Steve and I stopped in our tracks. Kruger dragged the kid to the water's edge, with Steve and I following behind them. Kruger stopped and pointed the gun at us, but I positioned myself slightly in front of Steve, knowing the bullets could bounce off my body but not his. Kruger pulled the trigger, but the gun only made a clicking sound, indicating it was empty.

Kruger then shoved the kid into the water and ran. I told Steve, "Save the boy, I'll chase him." Steve nodded and jumped into the water, while I chased after Kruger.

Kruger pressed his lighter again, and a one-man submarine surfaced. He tried to scramble down to it, but I stopped him with a swift punch, carefully controlling my power to avoid causing destruction like last time and making a hole in the wall. Kruger turned around, brandishing a knife in one hand and a serum in the other.

As he charged towards me, I delivered a swift kick to his stomach, followed by a precise punch to his jaw. The serum and knife flew out of his hands, and the vial smashed on the dock, releasing a blue liquid that dripped through the cracks. Kruger watched in horror as his plan slipped away.

I rolled Kruger over, pinning him to the ground with a knee in his chest. Steve arrived, eyes widening as he took in the scene. 

"Who the hell are you?" Steve demanded. 

Kruger sneered, "The first of many. Cut off one head..." He pressed his tongue against a false tooth, revealing a hidden cyanide pill. "And two more shall take its place." With a defiant cry of "Hail Hydra!", Kruger bit down on the pill and died.

Author note: Dear readers, I want to start by apologizing for the lack of updates recently. The past few weeks have been incredibly tough for me. I faced a devastating setback when I failed one of my exams, which left me feeling lost and defeated. To make matters worse, my parents took away my laptop and phone, leaving me feeling disconnected and alone.

But I'm thrilled to share that I've finally gotten my devices back, and I'm ready to dive back into our story with renewed energy and passion!

I want to thank each and every one of you for your patience, understanding, and continued support.
