Disclaimer: I don't own the Avengers and other established characters appearing in this fan fiction, they belong to Marvel. Any and all OC's belong to me.
This is sort of like an Ultimate Universe concept, with different origins. It won't be majorly drastic, but remember there WILL be changes to origins, so don't freak out!
Also to note is that not all chapters will be the same length. It just depends on where I feel the chapter should end.
Steven Rogers falls from a plane, toward the freezing water. He looks up at the face of his comrade, James Buchanan Barnes. They stare into each other's eyes, before Steve's close and he loses consciousness. James punches the man who had thrown his best friend out of the plane. The red-skinned Nazi merely laughed. "Bucky" finds himself being slammed against a broken pipe. He gasps in pain as blood splashes out across the floor. He turns his head to look at the wound. The pipe has gone straight through his shoulder and torn across, his left arm barely attached. He cries out in pain. The Red Skull approaches him, a knife at hand.
James is the next to be thrown out of the plane. Thoughts race through his mind, memories from across his life. As his body splashes into the ocean, he sees Steve's body sinking below him. He reaches out for his friend, who is too far from his reach. His best friend disappears into the darkness, and James loses all hope. His eyes close, and a sudden warmth rushes over him.
"Sir, I think he's waking up." BEEP BEEP BEEP! "Get an oxygen tank! He's having trouble breathing!"
"This man shouldn't even be alive!" SHHHNNNG!
"Welcome to 2013, Captain Rogers."
"B…b…bu…bucky…"
VILLAINS!
Just so any readers know, the main villain will be revealed in the next issue, but won't play a major part.
