Summer Assassin
Liana sat in the doctor's chair waiting to hear back from the doctor about her options for a prosthetic arm.
The one she had was starting to break down from all the usage she put it through.
Liana knew that times were tough and with the war going on materials were in high demand in order to defend the lines.
Her left arm was the normal flesh from shoulder to her fingertips.
Her right, however, was cut crudely just a few inches before her elbow.
She got a nasty infection after treating a cut she sustained after treating a soldier.
The infection grew and deteriorated her arm so the doctor on duty had told her that the only way to stop the infection was to saw off the infected area.
In one hazy night Liana lost her fingers and half her arm.
Her family was just scraping by with the cost of the prosthetic.
She was relieved that she was left-handed otherwise she would have had to change her whole life.
Thankfully the war still needed nurses and those looking to help clean up after, so Liana was still in service for England.
Liana had cloth wrapped around her stub with a strap on pronged hook.
But right now the hook had grown rusty and worn.
Liana was hoping to possibly get a wooden hand so it would look more pleasing to look at.
" ? There is a man here who could help you discuss some options if that is alright with you?" the doctor asked her from the doorway.
Liana nodded and watched as a small man with a round face and round glasses walk through the door.
"Afternoon Madame, My name is , I'm here to talk to you about a new study my associates and I are testing out with prosthetics," the small man said as he adjusted the glasses.
His thick Swiss accent was interesting though.
"And what is the study ?" Liana asked perking up an eyebrow.
"We hope to use up and coming technology to be able to make a functioning limb that responds to brain waves and impulses," Zola described.
"How much is the procedure going to cost me, I don't exactly make that much as a nurse," Liana said looking down embarrassed.
"I assure you that the testing is absolutely free, once a final product has been made we can discuss some form of payment," Zola said.
"That's wonderful to hear Doctor, how soon do you think we can do the testing?" Liana asked.
"Well I believe if you want we can start tomorrow, perhaps meet at the tea shop around the corner and I can take you to our operation center?" Zola asked.
"Sounds fantastic," Liana said with a bright smile.
~Next Morning~
Liana could feel her legs bounce in nervousness as she waited for the doctor.
She couldn't stomach anything because she was so excited.
Liana stood at the corner near the coffee shop looking out into the empty streets when she felt a small prick at the back of her neck.
She opened her mouth to yelp but a hand covered her mouth.
Liana felt the darkness pull at the back of her mind and she fell.
~Man~
'We have the girl' the man said into the small device in German.
'Good, bring her to base immediately,' a voice replied back.
The man lifted the girl and knocked on the window of the car next to him.
The door swung open revealing another man in a black outfit with a small pin on his chest.
'Hail Hydra,' the agent said. 'Hail Hydra' the man said.
He placed the woman in the back seat and slide into the car.
The drive to the base was not to long but just on the outskirts of the small town.
The car pulled into the little parking area and the two men stepped out carrying the woman.
"Bring her down to operations, I have plans for her," said as he directed the men.
The agents nodded and followed orders.
Ever since the fell of Red Skull, the agents had looked to Zola to carry on the ideals of Hydra.
~Operation~
"Doctor I believe we have the basis of our new project complete," the surgeon said to Zola.
The doctor examined the metal arm and adjusted the small plates.
The arm was a masterpiece of vibranium, all the metal Hydra had found and collected.
"Yes, but now we need to go through with the second phase in order to make her into the weapon," Zola said as he held up a blue syringe.
The liquid inside had a glowing unearthly hue and Zola had two more vials prepared.
"Inject them into the major muscles, the effect should be immediate, but we need to expose her to the Vita-ray machine Stark donated," Zola said with a smile.
Liana was knocked out cold as the procedure went on but woke up with an agonizing scream as her muscles felt like they were melting. Her eyes flew open and looked around wildly before she clamped them shut.
The next time she woke she was in another room.
Her arms and legs were strapped down and she had something clamped between her teeth.
Liana began to struggle but to no avail.
"Liana be calm, it will all be over soon," Zola said from behind her.
She heard a machine whir behind her and felt something clamp to her head.
That was when her brain exploded with electricity.
"Goodbye , hello Summer Assassin," said with a teeth baring grin.
New idea I'm playing with, hope you enjoy
