Chapter 8 Howard

Theories were springing out like mushrooms after a down pour about David.

Some called him an Alien.

Some extremists considered him to be a God.

Some thought that he was a lab experiment.

Scientists all over the country racked their brains trying to understand how David could do all of the things he had displayed.

Super Strength.

Incredible Durability.

Flight.

Laser vision.

Freeze breath.

No matter how much they tried they could not figure it out.

He could beat Abomination like it was nothing.

Estimates were made over how strong David was, He could easily defeat Abomination whose Strength reached to around 100 Tons.

In a secret base where they had more information about what was going on about David such as him being in the outer layer of earth seemingly basking in the sunlight or his past.

A researcher looked down at the research report in his hand with a look of disbelief, he had been among the people who witnessed the whole event take place before the news was scrubbed from the Internet.

After some general estimations his team had come up with some basic estimations on David's abilities, this report started to circulate wildly among some high-level people leaving them completely shocked.

Especially General Ross, who had been in charge of the Super Soldier program.

They could not figure what caused David's abilities to evolve so much, they considered marking it as a case of X gene blooming late.

But that failed to explain where David had been for so many decades and what it could mean for the nations safety as David was considered a spy, that was the whole reason he was kept in a lab.

They were sure that David had died so it made it even more confusing as to how David was alive again.

Action against Ross was currently being taken inside of a court.

"Your Honor and respected members of the jury, please!"

"I have the most expirence dealing with supernatural things like this, Just give me a chance, we need to create something that can protect us from Subject SS!" Ross made his final plea.

The jury on the side were all people who were in the highest echelons of power within the nation, they quietly listened to the pleading of General Ross.

The judge glanced at them and decided to call a break to let the jury decide what should be done with General Ross.

This was a trial that had already been in proceeding from the early morning of the day after David vs Abomination occurred so, many pieces of evidence and witnesses had already been presented.

This was the ending of this trial.

After about 30 minutes later.

The jury finally stepped back in and their decision was announced.

As one of the members of jury stood, A highly decorated general, he began announcing Ross's fate.

"General Ross, your actions have led to major consequences.

You have also shown that you do not have the ability to create a successful counter to the Hulk, or a controllable super soldier.

We do not believe you have the abilities to lead this project anymore.

We propose, his title be stripped and a life sentence in high security prison" The general concluded

"Very well" The judge said as he picked up his gavel.

The judge himself found that everything The General had said was correct so he brought the gavel down.

Bang.

That was it for General.. no The end for Thaddeus Ross.

Thaddeus Ross just stood their with a empty look in his eyes.

He felt weak.

Then he felt anger.

Not at anybody, but anger at himself.

Everything he had done so far was to not feel this weak again yet here he was.

led to weakness by his own actions.

A few days had passed now, David from high up stared at a mansion located on a hill overlooking a ocean.

This was Tony Stark's beach mansion and today David decided to pay Tony a visit.

David looked at Tony, busily building an armor with a smile on his face as he remembered Tony's father Howard.

Although their interaction was only for a short period of time.

It was still a time David would never forget.

This was still during the time David was held as a subject.

Howard was brought in to assist the government in some kind of weapon contract and somehow managed to discover David or as he was then known as "Subject SS"

David couldn't help but admire the sneakiness Howard had as he managed to enter a highly secured lab right under the government's nose for the first time only for the sake of curiousness.

He remembered that day clearly.

His hands and legs were tied with thick metal chains, his palms were covered with a metal glove, his body was wrapped around in a crazy jacket reinforced to withstand David's strength.

The walls were white like crazy house yet the light were dim.

David remembered sitting there hopeless as the days passed by when Howard opened that metal door and walked in.

He was quite as he stared at David.

David did not say anything as he simply stared at Howard.

David's mind raced as he tried to think of a way to use Howard to escape.

After years finally, hope of freedom was reignited within David.

"So you are Captain Americas replacement" Howard joked yet none of them laughed.

David immediately gave up any hope of relying on Howard to escape at that time.

Anyways, time passed and howard was successful in keeping his interaction with David under wraps.

Howard had managed to become really close friends with the lonely David after some time.

David even told him about how he died in the future, unfortunately it seems that Howard did not take what David had said too seriously as that's how Howard died this time aswell.

Howard had ended up deriving a plan to let David escape from captivity but unfortunetly before they would go forth with the plan.

David was sent on his first and last mission.

One regret David had as he bled out on the ground was that he did not get to say goodbye to Howard.

David who was in the air shook his head with a bitter smile as he looked at Tony through the walls.

David wondered what he would have been like right now if he had never met Howard.

Would he be some crazy person trying to get revenge on the goverment?

Destroy the country as revenge?

David felt like that would be something he would have actually done.

In a way Howard was a hero, David chuckled as he thought of that.
