First Encounter.
Both Strucker and Mother Night looked in shock. "This is NOT what I came for in this terrible cold!" Mother Night screamed, up front of them stood Doctor Arkim Zola. Confused and well. "Who are you two people and what happened here, where am I and where is our mighty leader?" Arkim asked the two confused Hydra soldiers. Strucker stepped forward. "Doctor Zola, my name is Baron von Strucker, descendant of your soldier Adler von Strucker. This is Mother Night, descendant of the Mother Night you know." Arkim looked at the two in shock. "What year is it? What happened to the war?" "The second world war is over, we lost, Hitler lost. It is the year 2012, nearly 2013 to be exact." Arkim stumbled backwards in shock and sat down. "What about our leader's wife.. does she still lives?" Mother Night stepped forward. "Anne Schmidt died two weeks ago at age 102. Both sons are in prison. We do not know if one of them gained any offspring." "Get out leader, whatever you must do. Do the Zemo family still live?" "They gained the upper hand, there are few of us and many of them." Strucker spoke. "Then we have also S.H.I.E.L.D. and their new squad, the howling pups. Almost every member of them is the descendant of the howling commandos led by Captain America. Only the leader is different. Her name is Alexandra, that is all we know." Ärkim rubbed between his eyes in annoyance. "Get our leader… now!"
Nearby the control room.
"Mike, do you have anything?" Alexandra whispered. "Nothing… Nothing strange here." "Nothing here either." She looked up, spotting the soft blue glow. " Steve, do you have anything?" "We spotted a few of Zemo's men, we keep an eye out." "Understood, Alexandra out." She crept closer and closer, trying to find a way to get upclose without being spotted. She patrolled the wall and smirked. Air vent, old friend, show me what you see. She jumped up and hang onto the bars before dropping down with them in her hands.
All three Hydra soldiers looked up at the noise. "Mother Night, go check it out while Zola and I try to get our leader." Strucker barked at her. The lady nodded and ran out. She turned around the corner and looked around, nothing. As she passes the air vent, looking, Alexandra crawled through it towards the other side. She narrowed her eyes at the scene… Was that Frank? Whoever it was, he looked a lot like Frank and he was bossing Strucker around. She listened closely to the conversation. "Reach around Strucker, he must be there somewhere." Strucker grunted in pain as he suddenly fell a harsh grip on his hands. "I think I got him Doctor." "Then pull you idiot!" Strucker winces as he kept pulling and pulling. Slowly the sight of a black glove was shown, followed by a sleeve of a black leather uniform. Brownish hair covered the top of the head, high cheekbones and green eyes. The man stepped into the control room and looked around. "What are you standing here you baffoons, explain what is going on!" the man barked. "Herr Schmidt, it is the year 2012. We got to you so we would have a leader. Baron Zemo is gaining the upper hand in your abses and your wife, Anne." Johann listened intensely to Baron von Strucker. "Your wife passed away two weeks ago. I am sorry sir." His heart sank, his heart beloved Anne, gone. He looked away, refusing to show the heartache by facial expression. "And my sons, how are they?" "Both in prison, Rheinholt has been sighted visiting a woman but we could not confirm if any offspring came out of it. The woman passed away as well." Strucker said softly. Alexandra listened and looked at the man they called Schmidt… So this was her grandfather, the famouse Red Skull. She did regonized his face from the old pictures her grandmother showed. Johann looked around. "Did Captain America survived as well?" Strucker lowered his head. "He did sir, there was a battle against aliens, Captain America is now in a team called the Avengers." Johann sighed. "Do update me about this new world, I need to know everything" he said softly. Alexandra tried to lean closer, to get a good look on her new foes. Unknown to her, somebody discovered the bars of the vent missing. Red Skull's eyes moved to the vent. "We are being watched Strucker, go check it out." Wolfgang saluted and ran outside the room, leaving only Arkim and himself.
Outside, a sudden bang was heard, an explosion. "It is the gang of Zemo!" Wolfgang shouted, his satan's claw charged with energy as he tried to fight of the foes. Red Skull and Arkim looked at each other before running out of the room. As soon everybody was gone, Alexandra pushed down the bars and crawled out, grey from dust. She quickly ran past the desks, looking for plans, devices, anything. "Alex to team, Red Skull is back, I repeat. Red Skull is back, all be on alert." She called through the intercom as she kept looking for anything. She stopped suddenly as she fell a presence behind her. Hot air in her neck, chills up her spine. Strong hands gripped her arms and squeezed softly. "Anne, sind sie es?" soft whispers in her ear. It was Johann. "Nein, ich bin Alexandra, nicht Anne." His face leaned over her shoulder, she was scared. "You look so much like her. Maybe a reincarnation of her." His grip more firm now as he pulled her close against him. "You have Aryan qualities my lady." Her stomach made a turn right there. This was wrong. She struggled against his grip, trying to get free. "I scare you, don't I? I bring fear into your very soul." She closed her eyes, hoping as she struggles more. "Skull, let the lady go." Her eyes widen as she said a silent thank you. Steve came to get her. "Captain America, it is so good to see you, now I can be sure I can kill you with my own hands." Johann turned around and focused on Steve. Alexandra slipped by and thanked Steve as she passed him. Steve only looked at Johann before charging with his shield. Johann ran towards Steve and dodged the shield, his right arm aimed for Steve's face. The two titans once again clashed.
Alexandra stumbled out of the room, clearly in shock, she kept running and running as she was suddenly tackled by Jack. In time because he just dodged a bullet from one of the Zemo gang. "Lets get out of here boss, Hydra is busy fighting the Zemo family. Where is the captain?" he asked her. She pointed to the room as Jack pulled her up and into hiding quickly. "I saw him Jack, I saw him." "Who, who did you see Alex?" "The Red Skull Jack, he is back!" His eyes widen as Alex shouted, she was scared but somewhat… also happy. Jack pulled her towards the exit, to the rest of the team while he was talking to Steve through the communicator.
Alexandra was deep in thoughts, her grandfather is back. He tried to flirt with her, he asked if she was Anne, her grandmother. The poor guy did not know he was flirting with his own blood, but it was better if her identity as the last one of his bloodline was kept a secret. Baron Zemo was too much of a danger, she gained her grandfather's strength but It was only a small part. She kept running with Jack and soon almost her whole team was complete and outside of the base. They only waited for Steve. Explosions were heard as the other two teams kept fighting, must have been the fuel tanks that got hit. A louder bang, more fire was shown and in the light, there was Steve, alive and well.
Steve was lucky he managed to knock out Johann before running off, even though Johann was not that long unconscious, it gave Steve a chance to slip away from his arch enemy. He jogged slowly to the group, his suit torn up and bloodied as he gave a grin. "Everybody complete?" Alexandra nodded and looked at the fire. Her eyes narrowed at the figure in the distance, it was Johann Schmidt. They would meet again and next time, she will be prepared to meet her grandfather face to face. He spotted her, stared at her before walking off with Doctor Zola, Mother Night and Strucker. Hydra was back in business.
Pennsylvania, 2012.
"The serum is finished lord Zemo, we only need the test subject." A dark figure looked at the purple masked man in his throne. Files were all over the desk, pictures of Tony, Thor, Steve, Alexandra, Natasha, a few Hydra soldiers and a picture of Johann. A detailed list beside Lord Zemo as he looked through. He slowly placed Alexandra's picture next to Johann's and smirked under the mask. "I know your little secret little fox, as long the big bad wolf does not know it's offspring, he shall not protect. We must strike soon since that Strucker managed to get the Red Skull back way before we planned it." He stood up and walked towards the dark figure, the figure opened a black box, inside a vile with purple liquid. "You will be killed by your own blood, it was a shame we could not get our hands on Rheinholt but the lady can do the job as well." Lord Zemo chuckled and soon it turned into laughter as the purple vile glowed in the dark room, its function unknown but even the bubbles formed a skull, a sign of death.
