Winter Soldier

Chapter 7


Dr. Wesel was not thrilled when the prisoners were brought in.

Don't I have enough to deal with already? He privately lamented. Dealing with a madman on a daily basis took a rather large amount of time and effort—and now he was supposed to experiment on captured American soldiers as well?

He grumbled moodily and went outside to survey the new group. No doubt as pitiful as the others.

However, as soon as he stepped out into the frigid afternoon air, he saw that something was…off.

A scuffle had broken out near the main gate. The other prisoners were quickly being shuffled into the main building, while a group of five guards cornered a ragged looking individual, long hair pulled back into a messy braid.

"Stay back," she warned, cuffed hands held out before her in an effort to keep them away. Of course the guards disregarded her orders, steadily approaching, guns aimed and ready to fire.

Wesel sighed.

Hmmm, one less subject to test, such a shame—

Gunfire erupted suddenly, as if to fulfill Wesel's prediction, but something…odd happened.

A wall of ice sprang up suddenly, protecting the young woman from the bullets.

The guards shouted in confusion, and Wesel cried out before they could do anything stupid.

"Don't shoot!" He commanded. This gave the guards pause. They turned and looked at him (well, he assumed, anyway, it was impossible to tell with those ridiculous visors they all wore) and he drew himself up to his full height. (Which was, to be perfectly honest, not all that much.)

"Don't. Shoot." He repeated, moving closer to prisoner. She raised her hands once again, but she was no longer focused on the guards, the guns. Rather, she was staring in outright horror at the ice.

"No…" She whispered quietly.

"Well, this is certainly interesting. Better than the usual rabble they bring in," Wesel said with a hint of glee. He turned to the guards. "As I said, do not shoot her," he repeated. "But, please subdue her, and move her to lab seven. Thank you, gentlemen."

He turned on his heel and left, uninterested in whatever chaos was unfolding behind him. That was not his concern; that was not his job. He couldn't allow himself to become involved with such things. He had a schedule to keep, after all.

So when he returned later, he was pleased to find the subject tranquilized and situated on the exam table in lab seven, as per his instructions.

Before he was able to begin, however, one of the guards pulled him aside, and in a low tone, said, "She…the ice, sir. It…it took out seven men."

Wesel grinned.

"Excellent."


Poor Elsa...can't catch a break, can she? :(

Anyways, as always, review or not, either is cool, but hopefully you're enjoying the story so far! And please, PLEASE, if there is ever any confusion, or if something doesn't make sense, let me know! I might be able to help. :D (I realize my style can be a bit confusing, in terms of timeline and such, which is why I bring it up.)

And finally, I totally forgot to add an end note last chapter...according to Wikipedia (source of all wisdom, ha ha) hypothermia does, in fact, cause confusion and can also cause amnesia. Convenient, no? XD (But again, Wikipedia. So grain of salt, and all that.)
