Disclaimer at the start of Chapter one.

Author's note: I'm sorry for the mix up in the chapters, originally I was going to post a very long chapter one but I ended up breaking it up into multiple smaller ones and I hade to start moving the contents from one document to another.Unfortunately I forgot to move some of the chapter contents around and I didn't realize my mistake until today(11/11/2015)! Fortunately I've been copying and pasting to several open documents on my laptop so nothing is lost! :)

Author's hostage note: Until I get a minimum of three reviews per a chapter I will be holding the next chapter hostage. The story stats tell me how many visitors I get per a chapter so I know that I've had dozens of people reading this story.

It had been fortunate for HYDRA they were unable to thaw out the Snow Queen, but with the use of the Tesseract they didn't need her. After World War Two ended and the SSR started rounding up HYDRA Agents and taking possession of various artifacts and devices in HYDRA's possession. Among the items taken was a chunk of ice that had to be kept in a special container.

SSR Agent Peggy Carter, Howling Commandos Privates Gabe Jones, Dum Dum Dugan and Jim Morita stormed the Hydra compound and arrested the Hydra members in there.

"What's this thing?" Morita asked as they were examining some of the artifacts that they were confiscating.

"Schneekoenigin," Gabe read.

"What does that mean?" Morita asked.

"Snow Queen," Gabe answered, translating the label on the crate.

"You're kidding me. That's just a fairytale," Morita said.

"What's just a fairytale?" Dum Dum asked.

"The Snow Queen," Gabe answered.

"What does a fairytale have to do with anything?" Dum Dum asked.

"That's what's written on this crate," Gabe answered.

"Why the hell would anyone with Hydra put that on a crate?" Dum Dum asked.

"Perhaps we should ask one of them," Peggy suggested before adding, "at least some of the artifacts and devices here are dangerous and it would be best to know which are and how dangerous they are."

In a conversation with one of the captured Hydra member they learned a few things about some of the items in their possession.

"What about the crate marked Schneekoenigin?" Peggy asked before continuing. "According to one of my men it translates to Snow Queen, which is absurd since that's the name of a fairytale and surely men who claim to be scientists such as yourselves wouldn't be pursuing fairytales."

"How do you think we found the Tesseract? Schmidt went searching for a legend and found it," Reinhardt answered.

"Are you trying to say that he also found some fairytale queen?" Peggy asked.

Reinhardt remained silent, not caring much for Peggy's slightly condescending tone of voice. Was it not bad enough that Germany had been defeated and Hydra was being taken apart piece by piece? Did he really need to endure the humiliation of this British woman interrogating him?

"I can't say for sure," he answered.

"Why is that?" Peggy asked.

"We were unsuccessful in thawing the chunk of ice that we managed to extract from the Arendelle Glacier. We have no way of knowing who or what exactly is contained within that piece of ice. Outside of the container it would cause ice to form on the ground around it and on any surface it touched and no matter the surrounding temperature it wouldn't thaw or melt even a little."

"I can't help to but to feel as though she was just toying with us. Extracting that piece of ice from the Arendelle Glacier should have been the hard part. Instead she allowed us to take a piece of ice containing her, but then refused to allow us to extract her from that ice," Reinhardt continued.

"Or perhaps she had no desire to be used as a weapon by the likes of HYDRA," Peggy suggested.

The tone in her voice stung like a slap to the face, but Reinhardt only barely flinched at her words.

"In any event, you'll never know," Peggy Carter continued.

Along with other items confiscated the container was shipped to an SSR facility in the States. It was shipped around to various SHIELD facilities over the years before it eventually ended up in the same one as the Tesseract.

So what do you all think?

Please review.

God bless.
