The Experiment

That night, the four of them talked all night.

The next day, Steve followed Agent Carter to the secret laboratory.

Lying in the large reinforced cabin, Steve's thin body twisted slightly uneasy.

"Are you comfortable?" Ray asked while standing beside Steve.

"It's a bit big." After seeing Ray, Steve relaxed.

"It will feel small soon." Ray smiled mysteriously.

"Remember, no matter what, you must persevere." Ray solemnly warned because, after improvement, the effect of the serum has become stronger, but the pain caused by the strengthening will also be greater.

"I will." Steve nodded firmly. He finally got this opportunity and would never give up.

After clearing the irrelevant personnel, the doctor picked up the microphone.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Today we take not another step towards annihilation but the first step on the path to peace.

We begin with a series of micro-injections into the subject's major muscle groups.

The serum infusion will cause immediate cellular change and then stimulate growth the subject will be saturated with Vita rays."

Following Dr. Erskine's explanation, the experiment began. After the serum was injected, the enhanced cabin was closed and the life ray irradiation began. Intense white light shot out from the window of the enhanced cabin.

As the intensity of the rays increased, Steve began to lose control and screamed in pain.

Seeing this, Agent Carter hurriedly shouted, "Turn it off!"

"Steve!" Dr. Erskine shouted as he tapped the booster cabin. Seeing that Steve didn't respond, the doctor hurriedly shouted, "Stark, turn it off!"

Howard was about to turn off the beam when Steve suddenly hissed.

"Don't!"

"Don't close it!"

"I can handle it!"

Howard paused after hearing the words and looked at Dr. Erskine, who then turned his attention to Ray.

Ray nodded affirmatively, "He can do it."

The Doctor nodded to Howard upon hearing this. Howard slowly turned the switch to the maximum when he saw this.

As the white light emitted from the window became brighter and more dazzling, everyone couldn't help lowering their heads and raising their hands to cover their eyes.

Soon, electric sparks and bursts of white smoke appeared on the experimental equipment, and finally, they all stopped, the strong light gradually dissipated, and the enhanced cabin stood there quietly, without any movement.

"Mr. Stark." The Doctor motioned Howard to open the enhanced cabin.

Under the uneasy gaze of everyone, the reinforcement cabin slowly opened, and a tall figure with strong muscles was slowly revealed.

The experiment was successful, and Steve successfully transformed from a thin and small man into a tall and strong super-soldier.

"I did it," Steve said weakly. The huge pain he had just gone through made him dizzy.

"We succeeded!" Ray was inevitably a little excited when he helped Steve out of the enhanced cabin. The new enhanced serum was completed with his assistance. Steve's body is taller and stronger than in the movie, indicating that The new serum is stronger than the original.

"Yes, we succeeded!" Dr. Erskine was calmer than expected, but Howard was a little excited, "You succeeded!"

Peggy Carter stepped forward quickly and looked at Steve's naked upper body in front of him. Those explosive muscles reflected light in the light. Carter had a good impression of Steve, so she couldn't help but feel flustered.

"How do you feel?" Carter asked, taking a deep breath.

"I've grown taller," Steve replied weakly.

Looking at the developed chest muscles in front of him, she couldn't help but reach out and touch them.

"It looks tight."

When everyone was immersed in the excitement of success, the spy lurking in Hydra suddenly detonated a bomb, took the only remaining super-soldier serum, and shot Dr. Erskine.

Steve, who had just obtained superhuman strength, watched helplessly as Dr. Erskine, who had created him was shot and died, he got up angrily and ran after the spy.

The Hydra spy rushed out all the way. After killing several guards and the lady of the antique shop who was guarding outside the secret laboratory, he fled in a car with the help of his accomplices.

Agent Carter, who was the first to catch up, shot the driver in the head with precise marksmanship, and the car slammed into the side of the road.

The Hydra spy quickly got out of the car, grabbed a taxi parked next to it, and rammed into the car.

Carter calmly raised his gun and shot. Seeing that the car was about to hit Carter, Steve rushed over quickly, hugged Carter, and rushed out, avoiding the impact of the car.

"I aimed at him!" Carter shouted angrily.

If Steve hadn't knocked her down, she would have hit the spy with the last shot, and of course, she would have been hit by a car.

"Sorry." Steve didn't have time to say more, got up, and chased after the spy.

After the chasing ended, It came to an end at the dock.

The Hydra spy, who wanted to escape by driving a hidden One-man submarine, was captured by Captain America by breaking the hatch cover.

Knowing that there was no hope of escape, the Hydra spy shouted "Long live the Hydra!" and committed suicide by taking poison.

Looking at the broken serum in the corner, Ray, who was hiding in the dark, quietly left.

With the death of Dr. Erskine, without the serum, the super-soldier program stalled and was eventually sealed.

The spy hunt in New York made the newspapers and made Steve famous. Senator Brandt took advantage of this and used his power to recruit Steve from the laboratory.

They advertised Steve as an American hero, which helped them sell defense bonds, filmed propaganda films, toured across the United States, and quickly made the name of Captain America known throughout the country.

On the other side, in a secret base of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, Dr. Erskine, who should have died, was sitting safely at the conference table with Colonel Phillips, Agent Carter, Howard Stark, and Ray.

"Aren't we going to tell Steve?" Agent Carter asked unwillingly.

"He will know, but not now." Ray shook his head helplessly, "First, let's talk about what we will do from now."

The night before the experiment, after the explanations of Ray and Dr. Erskine, Colonel and Carter also realized the hidden dangers brought by the super-soldier plan.

Once the experiment was successful, many people would get crazy to get that power, and possibly even the president, It would be impossible to stop everyone with just the power in the hands of Colonel Phillips.

Once the serum fell into their hands, the consequences will be devastating. Facing an army of super-soldiers, the whole world could be jeopardized.

If the subjects are not chosen through strict tests, and bullies, criminals, terrorists, etc. are strengthened, then a group of uncontrolled super soldiers will bring huge chaos and destruction to the world, and countless civilians will lose their lives.

This powerful force that can change the world must be controlled.

In the end, they decided to follow Ray's suggestion and let Dr. Erskine fake his death in the experiment to end the super-soldier program.

To prevent accidents, Colonel Phillips even arranged a 'spy' himself. If Hydra didn't act, the 'spy' would complete their plan in place of the Hydra.

Carter talked to Howard, and he agreed with everyone's ideas.

Steve is not very good at covering up, and it will be easy for others to see his flaws. So, he was kept in the dark to confuse those politicians.

Anyway, in a few months, he will join the strategic scientific reserve team after earning enough reputation.
