Hello everyone! Welcome to my story. I just want to say that I have always been a big fan of the Marvel universe and I really enjoy all the movies. I have never really read the comics, so my fan fiction will be following the movies for the avengers. It's going to start around Captain America: The First Avenger and go through onward, although will only be mentioned lightly in the first Avengers movie. I know that an OC is kind of overdone and they usually end up being a Mary Sue. But, I'm going to try my hardest to not let that happen. Also this is not an author insert. This will also be a slow-burn so don't expect romance anytime soon.
Prologue:
"The war is only growing more intense every day, what is the status on the serum?" Colonel Chester Phillips, an older man and the director of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, said glancing towards the two scientist standing before him.
"It is ready, we must begin the search for the candidates," Doctor Abraham Erskine replied.
"That has already been started. There are a few soldiers that have been noted down in different training camps that we will pull into Camp Lehigh in the following days," the Colonel placed a list on the desk in front of him.
The young and tall strawberry blonde, Dr. Kyra Tierney, flipped through the file before frowning. "Is this it? Pulling only from other training camps may be a good idea, but I would like to continue the search outside of the army. Maybe we could go to some of the recruitment centers."
Colonel Phillips's lips quickly were pulled into a straight line while he looked over at the younger doctor, but it was something that had been expected. Even Doctor Erskine gave a sound of approval on the decision. The Colonel let out a sigh before nodding his head at the two.
"Fine, two weeks, you can travel to the recruitment areas and see if you can find some other soldiers better than our picks."
"This one, this one is interesting," Erskine said to his colleague before handing over another candidates file.
"Doctor, I thought we were about to leave. We have been here all day," but she took the file from him anyway. "Steve Rogers: asthma, easily fatigued, heart problems, and the list goes on. What exactly about this kid is interesting?" Kyra furrowed her brows in confusion.
"No, read beyond the maladies," he said shaking his head.
Kyra glanced over the file one more time before realizing what the Doctor was trying to show her. Steve Rogers had tried enlisting five different times, but each time he was quickly denied because his long list of health issues. Yet, this attempt would be his sixth attempt and he was still trying.
"I overheard his conversation with his friend. He did not seem like the type to give up without a fight. So we shall give him the chance he deserves."
Kyra looked up at Erskine and saw a new gleam in his eyes. She glanced over the file one more time before nodding her head and following the doctor into the curtained-off room. When she first laid eyes on Steve Rogers, she couldn't help but feel the doubt leach into her. This man, or maybe he was a boy, was a frail little thing. He looked as though a breeze could take him down in just one blow.
"So you want to go overseas? Kill some Nazis." Doctor Erskine said in a blunt voice slightly startling Kyra and Steve both.
"Excuse me?" Steve Rogers eyes narrowing ever so slightly.
"Doctor Abraham Erskine," holding out a hand towards the younger boy. "This is my colleague Doctor Kyra Tierney. We represent the Strategic Scientific Reserve." Kyra gave a slight nod and a quick hello.
"Where are you both from?" Steve asked obviously having noticed Erskine's accent.
"Queens, before then Germany."
"Chicago, though originally from Ireland. However enough about us, what I would like to know is where you are from Mr. Rogers? New Haven? Paramus? Five different exams in five different cities." Kyra shuffled through the enlistment forms, before looking up and staring into the young man's eyes. "You could have at least used a different name, although perhaps that may have landed you in more trouble-"
"Trouble? No, it might not be the right file," Steve began cutting of the younger doctor.
"Don't worry about that. That's not what we are interested in." Kyra said, raising an eyebrow in his direction.
"No, what we are interested in is the five tries. But you didn't answer my question. Do you want to kill Nazis?"
"Is this a test?" Rogers paused for a moment before a determined glint came into his eyes. "I don't want to kill anyone. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from."
Kyra just smiled at this. Most of the doubts she had felt earlier quickly slipped away at the look in the man's face.
"I can only offer you a chance, only a chance," Dr. Erskine said as he motioned both to follow him out of the room and taking the file into his hands.
"I'll take it," Steve said in a steady tone, but Kyra could hear the satisfaction and relief in his voice as Rogers took the file.
"So where are you actually from, soldier" Kyra asked with a bright smile in his direction.
"Brooklyn," Steve said but his eyes didn't leave the new acceptance stamp.
So this is just a sneak peak into my new story. Leave a review and I'll hopefully be updating soon.
