Captain America 2
Chapter 1: HYDRA returns
One bright, sunny day in New York City, Steve Rogers the man secretly known as Captain America was taking a stroll down the streets of the city just admiring the changes that had taken place in the seventy years he had been in suspended animation.
"So much has changed in the world since my day. World War II, my war, has been won for over seventy years now and most of my friends that fought with me, as well as my first love Peggy Carter, are dead or are at the age where death is close. But here I am in the same young, vigorous body that I had in 1942 only now its 2012. I don't know if I'll ever really adapt to the changes of this new world. But my time with the Avengers has shown me that the world still needs Captain America, so I guess I'll stick around," Steve was thinking to himself.
In the middle of his thoughts he heard a small ringing and picked from his pocket a cellphone issued to him by the international organization known as SHIELD. "Here is yet another device that once seemed like science fiction in my day, but is now fact," Steve mused himself. Putting the phone to his ear he answered, "Hello?"
"Cap you're needed on the Helicarrier immediately. Give me your location and I'll send a helicopter to retrieve you. Just meet it at the nearest building," responded Colonel Nick Fury, director of SHIELD, quickly.
"I'm on my way sir," Steve responded then hung up. After putting the phone back in his pocket he dashed to the nearest building, a random parking garage. Once inside he quickly donned his famous costume and shield while running towards the roof. Sure enough once he got to the roof there was a helicopter ready and waiting for him, and he quickly leapt on as the aerial vehicle began its takeoff. Once on aboard the Helicarrier, Rogers quickly found Nick Fury standing before a large screen.
"I'm here, sir. How can I help?" Steve said as he saluted Fury.
"Captain, as you well know, World War II ended with the defeat of the Nazis and what we thought was the destruction of HYDRA," said Nick with an intensity rising in his voice. "Well we were wrong. Today we got a report of an attack conducted by HYDRA soldiers at one of our bases in Germany. Only not have they returned, but they are stronger, more numerous, and more dangerous than when you faced them before," Nick Fury responded with intensity growing in his voice.
In the few minutes that he had been on the Helicarrier, Steve's world had shattered all over again. The organization that he and other comrades had fought back in the war; the organization that had led to the deaths of so many innocent American soldiers, one of them being his best friend Bucky- was back and stronger than ever. As his emotions see-sawed between anger, sadness, and fear, one thought kept spinning around in his mind, "How many will die this time?"
