Hey everyone. Thanks for sticking around for chapter 2!
It's another short I'm afraid but they will be getting longer and hopefully we will see the Avengers film in chapter 3. I just felt that another prologue was needed to give a bit of background. Hope this a good chapter and don't forget to review. Thanks!
Prologue 2
At first the smoke was all that filled my view, then a bright glint of orange. The fire ate away at the building pulling it down from its 1920's foundations. I watched from the doorway as the flames licked at the floor creeping towards me. The flames wouldn't hurt me i knew that. As far as i was a where the fire wouldn't hurt me. It may seem strange but the fire was my friend. The incident at Culver made sure of that. The crackle of the paint chipping was all i heard now and imagined their screams. The men that caused my problems. The men who killed my mother where long since dead, I had already taken care of it days before. Then the unused stack of files logging American progress, reports on Captain America and the new updated file on my mother glowed orange and in an instant nothing was left. Her smiling face from the 1940's edged in flames her beauty crossed out with a simple black marker. Showing that she was dead. With a final roar Hydras World War Two base filled with flames. The huge windows buckling and shattering from the heat and the final boom of un-claimed weapons.
Johann Schmidt's painted face engulfed in flames was the last thing I saw before I turned and disappeared into the flames. Burn in hell where you belong.
It had been four long years since Culver. I was now 21. A few days after my incident things started to change. Things took a turn for the worse when I couldn't think that it would get any worse. Mother was still had her 25 year old beauty, the ice made sure of that. But when I was changed people got interested. Bad people. The very same people that mum spent running from all those years before. It's my fault mum died. I went into hiding un an attempt to disappear of the map. But mum wasn't safe. She told me to run. To save my self. I remember that day when we were chased a crossed the fields and mum was taken down by Hydra sympathisers but not killed. I later learned that they killed her. The tortured her until her death. They wanted answers as to my whereabouts where I went and the full extent of my other side. She never told them. You only die once. My secret died with her. But I had a feeling that it would soon be uprooted. There was something coming out of the darkness and I had a feeling that it had something to do with the blue cube that mum and dad we so keen to destroy.
For the cover picture I used a photograph of the actress Gene Tierney who I believe to be amazingly beautiful and how I actually imagined Nyssa's mum to look like. I don't own the photograph I put a cross through it to try and avoid copyright
Also I do not own any marvel related thing. Any similarities to existing things do not belong to me!
