Times are changing. The future remains unwritten. The future is ever-changing, the webs that are being woven are undone as they are put together. The path can not be deviated from or grave things will happen. People will die. Cities will not be built. Wars will never end. Life as you know it will cease to exist. You will not exist. Everything must happen the way it's supposed too. Hailey do not change the inevitable. Live your life. Don't let what you know prevent that. Live your life…..
I jolted awake and sat up from a cot. My heart was beating so fast I thought it would jump out of my chest. My eyes jumped around the room taking everything in that I saw. I noticed Jim sitting at a desk in the corner of the room bent over a bunch of paperwork. He looked like he was asleep. I swung my legs over to the side of the cot and let out a groan when I saw that I had another IV in the crook of my arm.
"Great just what I need. More fluids being pushed into my body." I mumbled. I hate to wake Jim up but I really needed to use the bathroom and I have no idea where they are located. "Jim. Jim. Morita. PVT MORITA." I yelled. He jolted awake and saw me sitting up.
"Hailey! You're awake! I need to go let the Colonel know!"
"No Jim! I need to use the bathroom first. Can you show me where it is? And possibly take this IV out of my arm? Please?"
He nodded and quickly walked over next to me. He made quick work of removing the IV and applying a bandage to stop the bleeding, and he pointed towards the back of the tent.
"Behind that screen is the latrine for you to use. Do you need help getting over there?"
I shook my head and said, "No I should be fine." I walked over behind the screen and did my business. As I was walking back towards the front of the tent I saw Jim speaking to a soldier standing right outside the tent flap. Once they both spotted me the other soldier nodded at Jim and walked away.
"Come on Hailey. Col Phillips wants to see us in the main tent. He has a few more questions for you." I nodded and followed behind Jim across the camp. As we reached the main tent I saw a really tall guy with blonde hair and bright blue eyes walk out of it. My eyes widened as I realized who it was. I grabbed Jim and spoke in a low tone, "Jim. Please tell me that's not who I think it is?"
Jim gave me a half smile and said, "Oh you mean Captain America?" I didn't think it was possible but my eyes got even wider and I had a hard time swallowing. The movies definitely do not do him any justice. He's a damn giant. I have never seen a guy that tall before. And holy shit is he handsome. As we walked closer I ducked my head so my hair covered most of my face. Captain America looked at Jim and I as we walked towards the flap of the tent and gave us a smile.
"Morita! I heard we have a new visitor on the base," Captain Rogers stated. He looked down at me and gave me a smile. "The name's Captain Rogers, but my friends call me Steve." He held his hand out waiting for me to shake it. I looked up and reached out, shaking his hand.
"It's nice to meet you Captain Rogers," I said breathily. "My name is Hailey Johnson."
Captain Rogers looked at me and tilted his head to the side. He looked like he was trying to figure something out. "Where do you come from Ma'am? I can't quite place your accent," he asked.
I gave a half smile and said, "Originally I'm from Michigan, but I moved to New York after fourth grade. So my accent is probably a mixture of a Canadian one and an Upstate New York one." I half shrugged my shoulders and let out a small sigh. I just realized that if I was truly in 1943 then the odds of me returning home were probably slim. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and looked at the tent we were heading towards.
"Captain Rogers is that the tent where Colonel Phillips is located in," I asked. He nodded his head and motioned towards the tent. I shifted on my feet and started to walk towards the tent. I flipped the tent flap open and walked inside. Immediately upon walking in I noticed Col. Phillips standing off to the side talking to a brunette female with some kickass red lipstick on. To the left of the tent there was two men standing there looking like they were in deep conversation. As I walked further in all conversation stopped and all four people in the tent stopped and stared at me. The silence started to stretch until I opened my mouth and said, "Uhm….hello everyone".
Colonel Phillips opened his mouth and said, "Come in Hailey. We have a lot of questions for you, and based upon your answers we'll figure out whether to keep you around here with us or ship you back off to the States."
My eyes widened and I blurted out the first thing on my mind, "If you ship me back where will I go. My whole life won't even begin for another fifty plus years." I noticed the shock on the faces of the other occupants in the room, and I ducked my head down to avoid looking at everybody's faces. I heard a sigh come from Col. Phillips general direction and I glanced up seeing the exasperation written all over his face.
"Well now that the cats out of the bag I guess I should introduce you to everyone in here," Col. Phillips stated. He gestured to the female next to his, "This is Agent Margaret Carter, but she prefers to go by Peggy. Those two gentlemen on the other side of the room are Howard Stark and Sgt James Barnes. Everyone this is Hailey Johnson."
My eyes immediately shot over towards Sgt Barnes and Howard Stark. I studied them as much as they were studying me. Howard Stark looked exactly like his actor in the movie, but Barnes. Well Barnes looked damn good. Even better than Sebastian Stan did in the movie. He was tall but not too tall. He was probably around five foot nine maybe five foot ten. He had light blue eyes, that literally looked like the color of the sky. His brown hair was styled just like his character in the movie. God damn he was fine. I could hear my inner fan girl screaming. A cough from behind me brought me out of my inner monologue and I realized I was staring. I let out a sheepish smile and said, "It's nice to meet everyone."
Colonel Phillips looked at me and gestured towards a chair for me to sit in. Once I sat down everyone else grabbed a seat. Agent Carter looked at me and said, "Hailey can you tell us how you got here? What do you remember?"
I let out a small sigh and sat back in my seat. I opened my mouth and mentally prepared myself to tell my story.
"My name is Hailey Rae Johnson and I'm from the year two thousand and twenty. I'm going to school to be a nurse and I work at the local hospital to get credit for one of my courses. I'm originally from Michigan but I moved to New York after fourth grade. My best friend/roommate Lizzie and I were having our monthly girl's night which for us involves movies, popcorn, and wine. Lizzie fell asleep first and eventually I fell asleep. When I woke up I was in the medic tent with an IV in my arm. Which by the way Morita I hate having IVs in my arm." I shot a glare over at Jim who was sitting off to the side next to Captain Rogers. He just shrugged his shoulders and gave me a half smile.
Everyone else was staring at me with shock written on their faces. Agent Carter cleared her throat and asked me if anything had seemed off before I fell asleep.
"No everything was normal. Lizzie and I always watch the same movie on girl's night. Every month we watch Captain America: The First Avenger. It was literally a typical night for us. Which is why I have no clue how I ended up here," I shouted in exasperation. During my quick rant I noticed I had stood up so I collapsed back down into my seat and put my head in my hands. The tent was completely silent and when I looked up I saw everyone's eyes staring between me and Captain America.
