Hey guys, so I know I haven't updated at all but my school year was so busy with sports and school work. So now I'm back with a new story that follows the Avengers. It will mostly be my own, with killing off superheroes that haven't died yet, or introducing superheroes that haven't been introduced yet. There will also be some moments from the comics or movies. This chapter is based all off of the movie because I have plans for Captain America and you need to understand the backstory to understand what I plan on doing. Other than this and a few other moments, this is my own Avengers story.
Avengers Initiative Chapter 1: The Story of Steve Rogers
…
Back in the times of World War 2 men volunteered themselves to fight for freedom for their country. A small, skinny man by the name of Steve Rogers volunteered himself for his country but he was rejected due to his small size. However, his best friend James Buchanan Barnes, also known as Bucky Barnes, was accepted into the army. Steve didn't want one man telling him no to stop him from serving his country. A man by the name of Dr. Abraham Erskine overheard Bucky and Steve talking about Steve's interest in joining the army. Erskine allows him to join under a "super-soldier" experiment by Col. Chester Phillips, British agent Peggy Carter, and Erskine. The day before treatment began Erskine revealed that Johann Schmidt, a Nazi officer, had a failed attempt with the "super-soldier" serum and now he has permanent side effects. In Europe. Schmidt and Dr. Arnim Zola harness the power of the Tesseract to use Zola's inventions. Schmidt dispatches an assassin to go and kill Erskine. In the U.S. Erskine subjects Rogers to the super-soldier treatment. Rogers emerges taller and more muscular due to the serum. One of the attendees shoots and kills Erskine revealing himself to be the assassin. Rogers pursues him and captures him but the assassin avoids questions by committing suicide. The formula was lost when Erskine was killed so Steve Rogers was used as propaganda by the name of "Captain America" to promote war bonds. Steve at this point continued to grow closer and closer to Peggy Carter. One day when Steve heard that Bucky's unit went MIA he had Carter and Howard Stark fly him behind enemy lines to mount a solo rescue attempt. Rogers infiltrates the Hydra base and frees Barnes and the other prisoners. On the way out Rogers runs into Schmidt who reveals his mask to show a red skull that gives him the name "the Red Skull". Schmidt escapes and Rogers returns to base with the freed soldiers. Rogers recruits Barnes and five other soldiers to attack other Hydra bases. Stark fits Rogers with a more advanced suit and a circular shield made of vibranium, the strongest metal in the world. Rogers and the team sabotage many Hydra bases. The team confronts a train carrying Zola. They capture him but Bucky falls of the side of the train to his death. Using information from Zola, the final Hydra stronghold is located. Schmidt's plan is to use weapons of mass destruction on American cities and soon cities across the world. Rogers chases down Schmidt's ship and before climbing aboard shares a kiss with Peggy Carter. The Red Skull and Captain America share one last fight and during the Tesseracts container is damaged. The Red Skull handles the Tesseract causing him to dissolve into it. The Tesseract melts through the floor of the ship and falls into the ocean. Rogers calls Peggy Carter and tells her he has to crash the ship into the Artic to make sure he doesn't detonate the weapons. "I'm going to have to take a rain check on our dance." He tells her. "Don't be late." She responds, fighting back tears. He hangs up the call and crashes the ship into the Artic. Stark goes searching and recovers the Tesseract but doesn't find Cap's ship and presumes him dead.
…PRESENT DAY NEW YORK…
Steve wakes up in an old hospital room with a baseball game playing on an old radio. Steve notices that something isn't right and he flees the hospital. As he steps out he realizes he's in present day New York. Cars surround him and Nick Fury, the SHIELD director, walks towards him. "Who are you?" Steve asks. "You've been asleep Cap. For almost 70 years." Fury answers. The realization hits Steve and he falls silent as he takes in the surrounding. "You gonna be okay?" Fury asks him. "Yeah it's just, I had a date." Steve answers.

That's the end of the first chapter of my story on the Avengers. Most of the story is going to be my own but I will be using some parts from movies or comics. This chapter was an exception because I needed to explain the back story of Captain America. Sorry for this chapter being shorter but the next chapters will be longer so don't worry. If you enjoy please favorite and give any feedback you have. It all helps. Thank you!
