Chapter 4 - Dr.Abraham meets Eldrin

June 14 1943

9:30 PM After Stark Expo

United States Armed Services Recruitment Center 

On one of the many recruitment centers where brave young men can enroll to fight for their country, some fortunate enough return as heroes, others don't return at all forever forgotten by the world while their families grieve silently.

In a room, a skinny blond young man with blue eyes was currently getting examined by a doctor, probably there to enroll and that young man was Steve Rogers of course.

The young man seemed to be looking at a shadow in the corner of the room, as if he could notice something that the others did not.

''Strange, I must be seeing things'' Steve thought.

Suddenly, a young nurse walked inside whispering something to the doctor.

The Doctor nodded and then looked towards the young man and said.

''Wait Here''

''Is there a problem?'' asked Steve worried.

 The doctor didn't answer and walked out of the room.

 ''Something's wrong'' thought Steve anxiously while looking at a sign behind him.

It is illegal to falsify your enlistment form

''Darn it'' thought Steve while standing up and quickly putting on his shoes.

But then he heard the sound of a curtain being opened.

He looked up and saw a soldier looking at him as he was awkwardly putting his shoes on.

''It's over, they know'' thought Steven nervously.

A man walked in.

''Thank you'' said the man to the soldier who left right after.

He then turned to look at Steve with an amused smile and then picked up a file.

''So, you want to go overseas to kill some Nazis'' asked the doctor while looking at a file.

''Excuse me?'' answered Steve, baffled at the too blunt question.

''Dr.Abrahams Erskine, I represent the Strategic Scientific Reserve'' said the man, introducing himself while extending his hand to Steve for a handshake.

''Steve Rogers'' said Steve as he shook hands with the doctor.

The doctor then asked ''So where are you from?,queens?,73rd street? or utopia park?'' 

''But Before that I'm from Germany, This troubles you?'' asked the Doctor.

''No''said Steven.

The man then continued asking sarcastically.

''Now, where are you from, Mr Rogers? Is it New Haven?, Paramus?'' asked the Doctor,''Five exams in five different citi-''

''That might not be the right file'', Steven interrupted.

''No its not the exams I'm interested in, its the five tries'' the Doctor clarified, and then asked again.

''But you didn't answer my question,do you want to kill Nazis''

''Is this a test?'' asked Steven cautiously.

''Yes'' said the doctor with a deadpan look.

''I don't want to kill anyone, I just don't like bullies, I don't care where they're from'', answered Steven.

''Well, there are already so many big men fighting this war,maybe what we need now is a little guy'' said the Doctor.

''I can offer you a chance, only a chance'' said the Doctor while walking out of the room.

''i will take it'' said Steven determined while following the Doctor.

''Good'' answered the Doctor in approval.

Back in that room, one particular shadow in a corner moved and took the shape of a man, and that man was Eldrin.

 As I used the shadows to teleport onto a rooftop across the recruitment center, I thought back on that whole conversation.

''And I must say, Rogers is a man of great character, his sense of responsibility is almost as great as Spiderman's, His courage and Bravery unmatched'' i thought impressed.

''No wonder the gods use Captain America as a measurement of courage'' I thought as I turned my head towards a specific car.

''There's our Doctor'' I thought with a smile while using shadow movement to follow the car.

 Brooklyn, Strategic Scientific Reserve Facility

 As I sat down at my desk, I threw a glance at a strange vial with a dark blue liquid inside,''It was my greatest and perhaps worst creation, the Super Soldier Serum'' I thought while thinking about that dreaded day.

The day when he took the serum, I warned him that the serum amplifies not only strength but character, yet he still took it.

''He was already a terrible man, but after the transformation'' I thought slightly shivering at the memory.

Then an unfamiliar voice broke the solemn silence. 

''Greetings, Dr.Abraham Erskine''

The doctor startled, snapped his head towards the voice with wide eyes, and then picked something from the desk.

It was a gun, and he aimed it at the intruder.

''WHO ARE YOU!!?'' shouted the doctor''ARE YOU FROM HYDRA!!?, DID Schmidt SEND YOU??, HOW DID YOU FIND THIS PLACE!!??''

''Be not afraid, Doctor,I am merely a man here to warn you of your impending doom'' I said while looking at the Doctor to see whether he was listening, and listening he was, I then continued.

''On June 22, 1943, after you succeed in creating the first true super soldier, a hidden Hydra agent will reveal himself and attempt to assassinate you and the newly created super soldier, before he becomes a threat, also stealing the last serum for Hydra's use in the process''

''He goes by the alias of Fred Clemson; his true name is Heinz Krugeri''

''I assume you keep records of the individuals who work here??'' i asked.

''Ye- Yes'' answered the doctor with a slightly shaky voice.

''Then that will be all'' I said while teleporting out of the building.

After the strange man disappeared, the doctor fell on his butt.

''WHO IN THE NAME OF GOD WAS THAT!?'' thought Erskine, spooked at the sudden appearance of that man,''and Fred Clemson??!!, a Hydra agent?!''

''I knew there was something wrong with that man; he didn't even walk like a normal person, he glided like a lizard on ice'' I thought, concerned about the literal hydra agent waiting for the perfect moment to kill us all and steal the serum.

''Even if that man lied, I still cannot risk not believing him, the consequences would be disastrous if he spoke the truth''thought the doctor and then said.

''I cannot let this happen, I need to inform Peggy Carter'' muttered the Doctor anxiety evident in his voice.

''Honestly, there wasn't even a need for me to inform him, I will be there either way to prevent anything unexpected from happening, thought Eldrin while rapidly moving towards the abandoned warehouse.
