December 16, 1991
As the car passed by, a man kick-started his motorcycle and followed the car. The man followed the car for a distance, then threw something into the car which caused it to crash into a tree.
The man swung his motorcycle around and drove back to the car. He got off the motorcycle and went over to the car, then opened the trunk to see a briefcase. The man opened the briefcase to see five blue squares within padding, then closed the briefcase.
The man went over to the driver side and saw the man crawling out of the driver side.. He pulled the man up by the hair and looked at him. The man on his knees silently pleaded no but the man on his feet started to punch the man on the ground, then let the man fall to the ground. The man picked up the dead man and placed him back into the car, leaning his head against the steering wheel.
The man went over to the other side and started to choke the woman in the passenger seat without looking at her. Once she was dead, the man let go. Then the man heard a small snarl coming by his motorcycle. He looked over to see a small wolf pup shifting into a young boy.
The man went over to the security camera, shot it, and turned towards the little boy, who walked over to the man. The little boy kicked the man in the shins.
"Why'd you kill those people? They didn't do anything to you!" the little boy yelled. The man picked up the little boy and held him at arm's length, studying him.
"Lemme go!" the boy was kicking and scratching. Then he shifted to a wolf pup and started clawing the man, who dropped him to the ground. The wolf pup growled and started to attack the man. The man kicked the pup away but the pup kept coming back to the man and attacking him by clawing and biting. The man grunted, knocked the wolf out, and went to go secure the briefcase to his motorcycle. Then he looked back at the wolf pup and sighed. The man went back to the pup and pick him up. The little pup shifted back to a little human boy and woke up, growling.
"Calm down, little pup. What are you doing out here?" the man asked.
"I don't have anywhere else to go. I have no family or place to call home," the boy whimpered.
"Tell you what stop attacking me and I can find you a place with me," the man negotiated.
"Can I call home with you?" the boy asked.
"I don't know. You will have to asked my superiors. But we will see. Besides you're a good fighter," the man said, thoughtfully. The boy nodded, eagerly, and the man sighed.
"Come on. My superiors are expecting a package and me back soon," the man gestured towards his motorcycle. The boy nodded and followed the man. They both got on the motorcycle and drove to the nearest Hydra base. The man gave the briefcase to his superior.
"Хорошая работа, солдат. Кто такой маленький? (Good work, soldier. Who is the little one?)" the superior man asked.
"Я нашел эту маленькую, где я возвращаю цель. Он хороший боец. Я думал, что он может быть хорошим достоянием для Гидры, сэр (I found this little one where I retrieved the objective. He is a good fighter. I thought he might be a good asset to Hydra, sir,)" the man responded. The superior man nodded his head.
"What's your name, little one?" the superior man asked.
"Nate, sir," the little boy replied.
"Well, Nate. What can you do that makes the Winter Soldier so interested into you?" the man asked.
"I can do weird things that other kids can't do," Nate answered after a few seconds with the prompting of the Winter Soldier, which the man noticed.
"Hmm. Interesting. Солдат, вы будете тренировать этого маленького до дальнейшего уведомления (Soldier, you will train this little one until further notice,)" the man ordered.
"Да сэр (Yes, sir,)" the Winter Soldier responded and gestured for Nate to follow him.
"Um, Winter Soldier, sir?" Nate tugged on the Winter Soldier's hand.
"Yes?" the Winter Soldier looked at Nate.
"Can I tell you a secret?" Nate asked, nervously.
"Alright," the Winter Soldier stopped and bent to Nate's level to hear the secret. Nate told him, which made him nod.
"Please don't tell anyone," Nate begged.
"This is our little secret," the Winter Soldier agreed and off they went.
