Sitka was on Hydra's lab, his metal arm was being fixed after the fight since Rosario had made a deep wound on it. Meanwile Sitka was lost on his thoughts, he started to have flashbacks from his past.
He saw the bear, Kenai taking Denahi out of the cleft, his youngest brother yelling his name.
Sitka!
He remembered the fall, then waking up on a lab surrounded by strange people, to see that his left arm was now of metal, a creepy man talking on a creepy voice.
The proceeding is already started
He saw a man approaching to him, when he was close enough he chocked him with his metal arm.
You have to live, so the fist, of Hydra
He saw that man inject him something on his body.
Put him on ice
He saw he was on a small capsule and then started to get frozen.
When he woke up, he threw away the man that was fixing his wound as a deffensive reaction. This caused that the gards on the lab pointed at him with their guns by security protocol.
A woman about 50 years old was walking to the lab, she had a bony body, brown hair on a bun, green eyes and was wearing a wite long adjusted skirt, a wite jacket and wite high heels. Her name was Maruska Chernov, now the head of Hydra. When she entered the lab she gave order to lay down the weapons. Chernov stood in front of Sitka, who had a lost look on his face.
"Mission report"
Sitka stood lost.
"Mission report, now"
Nothing, she got closer to him and after a short moment she slapped him on the face.
"Those boys with Reaper"Sitka"Who were they?"
Chernov took a stool, sited in front of Sitka and looked at his eyes.
"Iron Fist..."
"I knew them"he said looking at her like a child looking for answers.
"Iron Fist, your work has been a gift to man kind. With others like you, we can build a better new world"
Sitka was still lost.
"Reaper deserted, she wants to destroy everything we had built. We have to stop her before that happens, even if that means eliminate her. And those who try to help her"
"...But I knew them"
Chernov stood up and got close to the medics wile Sitka looked at her like an abused puppy.
"Wipe him, and start over"she ordered to Striker.
"With pleasure maam"he said anxious.
Striker approached to Sitka and gave him a malicious smile.
"I told you to not disapoint me Iron Fist"
Sitka just lowed the head ashamed before his boss.
"Now open your mouth"
Sitka did what he said and then Striker putted on his mouth a protector. The medic pushed him back of the seat, activated the straps that holded his wrists, arms and nape. Sitka was panting, preparing for brainwash even if he didn't want to, the machine conected to his head and the brainwash started. Sitka screamed of pain the moment he felt a strong electric shock. Meanwhile Striker was enjoying the scene, he loved to have total control over Sitka. Like he was his dog, Striker enjoyed to hear Sitka's screams, to see him suffer, to make him see that he was God there wile Sitka was nothing.
One of the gards gave Chernov a red book with a black star on the cover, Chernov opened the book and started to reed the trigger words in russian:
Longing
Rusted
Seventeen
Daybreak
Furnace
Nine
Benign
Homecoming
One
Freight car
Once the brainwash was done, the machine let Sitka free, they took the protector from Sitka's mouth. Sitka got up slowly, no emotions on his face, Chernov approached to him and then Sitka spoke:
"Ready to comply" he said in russian.
Chernov smiled satisfied.
...
"Here we are"said Rosario opening the door.
The three of them were on a hotel to spend the night. The room was small, there was a half-bathroom with a shower, in the middle of the room was a circular table with two chairs, in one of the walls was a furniture with a small tv on the top and two beds in front of it. Besides the beds was a small window without curtains. The place wasn't the best, plus the hotel was the less expensive they could find and was located on one of the most poor and dangerous places of the city. But at least they had a roof, electricity and water. Once inside, Rosario locked the door and went right to the bathroom to wash her face, meanwile the brothers sited on the chairs. Trying to rest and process everything they had gone through. Rosario finally finished and came out of the bathroom.
"I'm gonna get some supplies, you stay here until I get back. Okay?"
Both Denahi and Kenai nodded, Rosario approached to the door followed by Denahi. When she was out she spoke to him:
"Don't open the door until I come back, I'm gonna knock the door and tell you that it's me. But before you open you have to ask me the password"
"What is the password?"
"Chilpayate"
Then she closed the door.
"Lock the door"
Denahi puted the chain and turned the two door pins. Then he rested his back against the door and slowly slide down the eyes closed 'till he sat on the floor.
"I can't believe this is happening"
"That wasn't Sitka"said Kenai on a lost voice.
"Did you saw how he massacred that people?"asked Denahi looking at his brother.
Kenai couldn't even respond, he was in shock, he couldn't believe that his brother had become a killing machine. The worst, at least for Kenai, was that Sitka didn't even recognize them. Neither recognized his own name.
The two brothers stood quiet for almost two hours until someone knocked the door. Denahi got on his feet.
"Guys it's me" said the voice of Rosario
"Password"Denahi
"Chilpayate"
He removed the chain and door pins and slowly opened the door. When he saw the girl outside, Denahi let her in and then locked the door again.
Rosario had brought with her three military backpacks and some plastic bags with food on them.
"The green is Kenai's, the grey Denahi's and the black one is mine"she said referring the backpacks.
The brothers opened them and there were the clothes they bought on the market along with some more. But they found their totems too.
Rosario putted the plastic bags on the table and took out some styrofoam dishes, soda bottles and from the other their dinner.
"What's this?"asked Kenai
"Tacos al pastor, de lengua, suadero y longaniza. Serve yourselves"
Denahi and Kenai started to eat their food and they really enjoyed it. They were so hungry and thirsty that in less of thirty minutes there was no more food or soda left.
"I think is time for some answers"said Rosario once they cleaned up the table and sat on one of the beds. Denahi and Kenai sat on the other one facing the girl"From where you want to start?"
"I think...from: where are we?"said Kenai
"Okay"
Rosario programmed something on her wrist, then an hologram of the planet showed up. As the same time she explained to the brothers, two red points appeared on two different coordinates.
"This is our planet. We were before here in Alaska, now, we're here in Mexico"
When the hologram disappeared she added:
"Twelve thousand years in the future"
"WHAT?!"said the brothers shocked at the same time.
"Yeah I know it sounds crazy but it's the truth. And don't ask me to give you a history lesson. Please"
"Okay"said Denahi trying to calm down"Now, who were those men?"
"They work for an association called Hydra. They're mercenaries that want to take control of the entire world"
Rosario's voice started to break, at the same time she took of the piercing from her nose she added:
"They did this to me"
As she was wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, Denahi and Kenai could see with horror that her arms and legs became of metal.
"What did they do to you?"asked Denahi with pity on his eyes.
"They first gave me a super soldier serum, then they cut off my extremities and implanted me this instead"she said looking with anger her legs and arms.
"I'm sorry..."Denahi"We didn't-"
"It's fine, it's fine. Now, your brother, right?"
"Yes"they both said impatient.
Then Rosario started her tale:
Back on The Cold War , Hydra wanted to create the best weapon in history. So they invented a serum to turn a simple person, into a super soldier. The serum was created with the purpose of giving the asset super strength, agility, speed. Once the serum was ready, they started to look for an asset strong enough to handle the effects of the serum. They ended up being in Alaska, where they found your brother trapped on a glacier. But when they discovered he was alive, they chose him as the asset. They removed his left arm and replaced it with a metal arm with a red star on the shoulder. Then they applied him the super soldier serum...they brainwashed him and...they turned him into a human weapon. As they didn't know anything from his past, or his name, they baptized him as: Iron Fist, The Winter Soldier.
Denahi and Kenai couldn't believe it, everything that happened to their brother broke their hearts.
"How can we bring him back?"Denahi
"With this"
Rosario went to the table and took her backpack, she returned to the brothers and took out a small disk.
"What's that?"Kenai
"A little object I invented to undo the brainwash and turn your brother into the person he was before Hydra. The bad new, is that I never tested it before and I don't know if it's gonna work"
"You don't know if it's going to work?! Awesome!"Kenai
"You have a better idea?!"Rosario"Im listening"
"She's right Kenai , it doesn't makes me feel better. But this might be our only chance to bring him back"
Kenai sighed dropping his head. Then he got on his feet and looked at the girls eyes with anger.
"If we don't get our brother back, I'm going to rip your head off"
Then he left the room to take some fresh air.
"Don't listen to him"Denahi told her on a soft voice"He's just letting hate and anger guide his actions"
Rosario smiled at him, he smiled back.
"So...what was, sorry, is his name?"
"Sitka"
"Sitka, that's a pretty name"
After an uncomfortable moment of quiet, Denahi cleared his throat.
"So, what are we going to do now?"
"This night we're going to rest. Tomorrow we head out to Mexico City"
"Why"
"I need to see someone"
...
Denahi and Kenai were sharing a bed wile Rosario was sleeping on the other one. Denahi was watching that strange girl on her sleep, something on her was captivating him.
"Don't even think about that"Kenai whispered.
"What?"asked Denahi as he turned to face his brother.
"You like her"
"She's protecting us"
"Don't play dumb with me, you know what I mean"
"What are you talking about?"
"You like her, a lot"
Denahi just turned around and tried to fall asleep.
