Prologue

The Earth, to many of its residents, is bright and beautiful. In fact, people laugh, smile, fall in love every minute of everyday. They live without a care in the world in their happiness. Yet the Earth came with cruel vile people who didn't see the light. Who didn't, no, couldn't fall in love. They were evil. They were dark.

They didn't see the happiness that others saw, they saw people who could be taken advantage of. People who could be used as stepping stones to their glory, to their success, no matter what the cost. Their name is Hydra.

Hydra Base Camp 2000

"Are you sure this is the right formula?" The man asked the scientist with a hesitant look.

"Positive," he confirmed and looked at the two baby girls who would soon bring Hydra back to its former glory. They would be Hydra's strongest weapons, far stronger than Captain America.

"The world may have Captain America to save them, but even he will fall under this syrum's power. Unlike Bucky, the weapons will be ours to control!" He shouted as he started clicking buttons on the machine. The other man could only look back to the two babies in horror.

"Zacharus! Click the red button when I say so,"

Said man only nodded and moved. He watched as the scientist injected the two infants in the eldest went first, and filled the room with cries, which was soon followed by her sister. Then Zacharus saw the youngest child open her eyes while whimpering from the injection pain and saw her grey iris'. He could only wonder what color it would eventually become, that is, if she lived after the serum's injection. He'd seen far too many infants die through this process. Zacharus hoped she and her sister would live, but with the life ahead of them, he almost wished they didn't.

"Now!"

After a bit of hesitation, Zacharus pushed the red button with a heavy heart. Watching on as lights flashed and the infants began to glow. The skin that had been punctured pulsed a dark black for one infant and bright silver on the other one. He closed his eyes, expecting the worst, and opened them when the babies stopped crying. They were looking at each other in wonder, amazed by their fading glow.

"Hydra's best weapons have just been born Zacharus. Be grateful that you've just witnessed this moment, because now we can commence with their training and... discipline.," The scientist said he started to cackle and left to inform his superiors. Soon thereafter, nurses came into the room to take the infants. Soon the room was empty and no one was left except the young man. Who soon followed after the infant's', feeling protective yet powerless to save the girls from their future.

"I promise, I'll free you both from here as soon as I can." The young man thought, determined to save the infant's. Orphaned at birth, Hydra had taken the liberty to take them from any life they may have had.

'Until then please, hold on.'

Ten years later

"There's been a red alert! Shield has found the base!" Screamed a Hydra agent, surprising a scientist who had been in the middle of mixing a serum. The agent was a grunt whose life was insignificant in the grand scheme of things. He would probably die, today maybe, and Hydra would find a replacement without a second thought.

The scientist though, was very important, or at least, his creations where.

"Zacharus, secure experiments 92 and 93! Shield can not find them! They are not ready!" The scientist screamed, at once dropping what he was doing and grabbing a flash drive that contained all of his research. Hydra had drilled contingency plans into the minds of the scientists since they were hired, should they fail to follow the plans and give information to the enemies of Hydra, they would meet a very unfortunate end.

Therefore the scientist paid no mind to his servant of many years, as he ran around the room clearing hard drives and burning notes, nor did he notice Zacharus aim a gun to his head, until the shot rang and hit him square in the head.

"It took them long enough to find us." Zacharus said as he gazed down to the man who he had been serving for twenty years. He had done hundreds of horrible things for the man because of his debt to Hydra, but no more, he was finally done with this life. He would have committed suicide long ago, but a promise he made ten years ago prevented it.

"Time to fulfill my promise." He said, as he bent down, grabbed the flashdrive and crushed it under the heel of his boot. As he left the room, he threw a grenade inside to incinerate any evidence of the girls, locking it and preventing any Hydra member to find the evidence to his crimes until later. There was no doubt in Zacharus' mind that they would find out, there was no use in denying it. He could only hope to accomplish one last thing before they killed him.

Flashes of red lights and sirens rang in the dark hallways, as troops of Hydra ran out to confront the Shield agents. None suspected of an older male, with the Hydra insignia, turning down dark hallways and going down dark steps, that would only lead to the experiment holding bay. After all, why would they suspect one of their own, when they had enemies trying to break down their front door. No they had bigger problems to deal with.

This type of situation was what Zacharus had been waiting for, for many years, as he laid in wait. Waiting for the right moment to free the two young girls from their suffering, before they were permanently brainwashed by Hydra.

Running past many locked doors, he finally came to the end of a hallway, where he opened the door to a practically bare room. Within where two small cots and a pair of matching chairs, the only light in the room came from an old lightbulb and the red light flashing from the alarm system. There stood two young girls towards the back of the room. The oldest stood poised in front of the younger one, ready to defend her at any moment. The shadows under them moved and morphed until a thorny shield covered them both, courtesy of the shadow manipulating eldest. Her mouth was set in a snarl, eyes hateful, defiant, and so distrusting, far more than ten year old should be, but what really caught his eyes was the look the younger one was giving him. She stood cowering behind her older sister, teary eyed and shivering in fright, but her eyes held sliver of innocence. That was enough to convince Zacharus that his betrayal and future death was worth the risk he was taking. Taking a step closer, Zacharus was nearly bludgeoned on the head by a chair, a courtesy of the telekinetic younger sister. 'Okay I should have known that would happen…'

"It's okay I'm here to help. Come with me." he said, neither sister moved from their positions toward the man, both knowing that if this was a trick, Hydra would punish them for even attempting to flee.

"Please hurry we don't have much time" Zacharus said slightly starting to sound desperate by their lack of response, causing him to rip off the Hydra insignia on his arm. An action that any Hydra member would never have dared to do, or risk death.

With one look at each other's eyes and a nod from the youngest, the girls cautiously approached the man hand in hand. With the eldest in the front and the younger one latched onto her side they made the best decision they could have made.

'Let's go.' the twins thought to each other.
