Chapter 27

The interrogation showed nothing significant. No, we realized that the spy had been performing his task for a long time, watching the senator, but he had no direct connection with the leadership. He passed all the information through intermediaries. And the only thing that we managed to find out is that all the leadership positions are being monitored.

More precisely, this is the only thing that my partners managed to find out. I had telepathy at my disposal, although it was clumsy, since I could only read superficial thoughts, but this was enough, because during the interrogation, some necessary images and thoughts surfaced in Kruger's mind, so I learned a lot. For example, the names of other spies with whom he was in contact. Or the points where Heinz leaked information.

But I won't rush, because I want to slam them all at once and I'm preparing a trap. If I miss someone, then after a while the Hydra agents will climb again, and I don't need that. So far, I have sent drones to monitor these people, as I will be able to react immediately if one of them learns something.

After the serum was injected, Steve was still shorter than me, but not by much. But now he looked like Apollo. And when he came out of the capsule, it must have been very unusual for him. Only the guy adapted to it very quickly, so after five minutes no one was supporting him anymore. I want to note that Carter began to look at him as a potential man. She used to just like him.

Phillips already wanted to put the stamping of super soldiers on the stream, but he had to roll up his lip, because the generator that provided the emitter with energy was covered. And it was still impossible to create people like Steve. At most, a fifth of it, and even then, while the radiation is going on, the city can simply be de-energized, so one soldier once a month or two.

In fact, we planned to do this with Abraham, so that there would be no excesses, such as the betrayal of someone from the highest posts, and, consequently, the departure of some part of the soldiers with him. The very first super soldier was to become the commander, followed by the rest. Even if someone defects, his departure will not change anything.

Only I and Erskine know the formula, so they had to do as we want. Until the power generator is repaired, yes. And this will happen... in the forty-fifth year, when the war is already over, because the bad Kruger destroyed all our research shortly before the experiment. Hydra spies again! There is no justice for them!

It was actually me, Abraham, and Howard. One day, the three of us gathered in an isolated office and had a small conversation. We talked about the future, if the United States still manages to put an army of super soldiers on stream. And we decided that this does not smile at us, because America has already begun to rise after the economic crisis, and now it will also create an army capable of leveling all countries to the ground.

No, it's even good and that's not the problem. Other countries are the problem. They will not sit idly by and expect the US to strengthen. Their rulers are not fools and after this war a new one may break out. Much bigger. Therefore, we decided to slow down the process somehow. All that was needed was a scapegoat.

At first, this goat was supposed to be another Hydra agent who was able to destroy everything and escape, but with Kruger it turned out even better. Everyone saw how he tried to shoot Abraham and blow up the laboratory, so he got all the bumps. And we are not involved in business — we are only victims of an inhumane attack.

Most of the drawings and diagrams were transferred to my bunker. There was also my brand-new generator, which was already connected to the radiator. And what? I also want to undergo a serum enhancement, and I want to do the same for my loved ones. But first I had to deal with Stephen. He is currently undergoing small tests and checks of his body to identify any abnormalities.

The problem is that Colonel Phillips did not expect that instead of a group of soldiers he would get only one, because for him quantity was always better than quality, so he did not take the blonde and told him to undergo research of his body. After that, he left in upset feelings. The son was sad because of this, so it was necessary to do something.

While he was on the tests, I came up with a plan that could work eighty percent. We need to make a show. I went to Abraham with my idea and he even approved. The whole idea was to show people that heroes really exist and make sure that Steve was noticed. To make him believe in himself. Then it will be possible to offer him something.

What for? And figs knows him. I just don't like that someone will just sit out their potential and do nothing.

After a while, unexpectedly, Heinz was able to escape from his cell, where he was being held. At the same time, I, Erskine and Steve were present at the base where the prisoner was located. We had to pick up some documents, and my son was just for company. The alarm sounded and the one who started it appeared in the corridor. There was another man with him, who was holding a gun in his hands.

I, as the most courageous and courageous, covered the Doctor and son with my body, which was pierced by several bullets. And then the two of them ran to the exit. Steve rushed to me and saw that my body was wearing a bulletproof vest, which was hit by the shells. When he was convinced of this, he immediately rushed to intercept the criminals.

— Is he gone?" I asked the scientist.

"Yes —" he replied, " Did you have to do it like this?" There was uncertainty in his voice.

- Absolutely, - I said affirmatively, - He's a good guy, but he really lacks confidence, and this way he will prove to himself that he is at least worth something.

— You'd better tell me-how is it yourself?" Abraham asked anxiously.

- It's fine — - my friend doesn't know that I'm a mutant with a rabid ability to regenerate, so I had to wear a bulletproof vest so that the man wouldn't worry.

In general, I don't want anyone, except the closest people, to know about this. Erskine is a good man, but... the less someone knows about it, the better. I don't want my enemies to be aware of all my powers in the future, and so soon we will both go through the process of entering the serum. This information will not be so sorry to make public.

Soon both of the escapees were caught, but the blonde did not know that they had cyanide, because no one had told him about it, so he could not prevent them from committing suicide in any way. Thus, the guy learned about the Hydra, and also found his goal. When he came back to us, he was glad that I was on the defensive. Then he received an offer from us.
