Hey guys! So this is taking place during WW2, so obviously it's before the avengers. I don't know a whole lot about war so I apologize if I get something wrong with that.

Well, here it is...chapter 1. I hope you guys like it!

Silence. Nothing but pure silence. That's what Captain America woke up to. His head throbbed with a massive headache. Steve sat up slowly, but stopped halfway when

his vision blurred out for a moment.

Where was he? How did he get there? What happened? Then he remembered.

He had been going back to camp when a whole bunch of guys launched an ambush attack on him. What did they look like? Can't remember. Next thing Steve knew, he's

waking up in a cold cell.

A few minutes later somebody opened the door and stepped in. He was tall, and was wearing a black suit with a black helmet that covered his whole head. A soldier of

Hydra! The soldier walked in and roughly grabbed the captain. Steve thought about fighting back, but his conscience told him to wait.

The guard took him through several hallways until he turned into a room and closed the door.

" Welcome Captain America! " A familiar voice said in a terrifying German accent. " I am so glad that you could make it! "

The Red Skull stepped out of the shadows with Dr. Zola behind him.

" What do you want Schmidt? " Steve asked.

" Oh nothing much, " Schmidt replied, casually walking over. " I just want to watch you suffer, and then die. Dr. Zola, here, has been working on some special devices for

today. "

With that Captain America jumped into action. No way was he going down that easy. Soldiers tried to restrain him from every direction, which of course they all failed.

" Bup up up, " Schmidt said. " I believe we have something that might make you think twice about doing that. "

A soldier came in through a door in the back of the room holding Peggy by the arm.

" Peggy! " Captain America exclaimed. He was about to run over to her but three soldiers grabbed him.

" Steve! " Peggy cried. The soldier tied her hands around a pole in the room.

" Do what you want with me but let her go! "

" I don't think so. I want her to watch. Plus, she'll make a good reminder not to do anything dumb. "

" No! " Peggy exclaimed. " I'll be fine. You need to get out of here! "

' What am I doing? ' Steve thought to himself. ' I can take these guys and get Peggy out. '

Steve jumped back into action, fighting off every soldier, until he heard Peggy cry out. He stopped and saw her being electrocuted.

" No! " Steve cried. " I surrender! Just leave her alone! "

" No. Steve, " Peggy gasped.

The soldiers chained Steve to a chain hanging from the ceiling and took off the top part of his suit, revealing a strong toned chest and abs. They chained him so that he

and Peggy were looking directly at eachother. Schmidt wated Peggy to watch the strong hero break.

" Now I just want to make sure that you understand this, " Schmidt said, circling Captain America. " This is not an interrogation. This is revenge for messing with my plans

and destroying so many of my bases. However, if you would like to share any information with us I would not turn it down. "

Steve just stayed silent. At least they had taken him, and none of the other soldiers...he hoped.

" You are just digging your own grave, " Peggy said with pure hate. " America will not let you get by with this. "

" No, that's why we will defeat America. And we will start with their beloved hero. "

One of the hydra soldiers handed Schmidt a leather whip as the evil commander took his place behind Steve. The Red Skull basked in the thought of what he was about

to do to the man that kept setting him back.

" Please, " Peggy begged. " You don't have to do this. There are better ways. "

" You Americans are so soft, " Schmidt replied. " It is why you are so weak. "

With that, Schmidt brought his arm back, and sent it back down with all the force and rage he possesed. Watching the whip cut into the soldier's back was so exhilarating

for the Red Skull. He continuously whipped Captain America, not even taking the slightest break.

Steve clenched his teeth as hard as he could. The sharp burning pain of the whip cutting into his back was nearly unbearable. The pain only grew more intense as Schmidt

continued to shred his back with the whip. He couldn't even look at Peggy. He was so ashamed and felt so weak. But he couldn't! He's Captain America! He had to stay

strong for Peggy!

Tears streamed down Peggy's face. America's hero,the man she loved was in so much pain. And this was only the beginning! She felt so helpless. But she could still see

strength in Steve. He wasn't going down that fast, so neither was she.

Finally Schmidt stopped. The strong captain of America was now half hanging from chains with blood cacading down his back and pooling on the ground around him.

The pain was seriously intense, but nothing he couldn't handle. Or atleast nothing he wouldn't handle. There was no way that Schmidt was going to break him that easy.

" Hmm, " the Red Skull said, once again circling the soldier. " You are stronger than I had anticipated, but we have only just begun. You may not find our next methods as

tolerable. "

So there's chapter one! I really hope you guys liked it. Please review! Tell me everything that you did and didn't like. Thanks guys!
