Chapter 3: The Past Returns

As Kate lay in bed after finding out who Drake was this super solider from the 1940s, she drifted off to sleep. As she was dreaming of him and her in the ally, all alone without anyone there to stop what was going to happen. He pressed his lips against hers and began to kiss her with such passion that no man had ever done before. He kissed her for what seemed for hours before he managed to get her jeans off and panties. Kate woke with a shock, covered in sweat. No man had ever done that to her, made her dream like that. She quickly took a cold shower, and tried to figure out why this guy was getting to her so bad.

Meanwhile, Drake was walking the boundary of the Sanctuary trying to find some weakness to it. He smiled as he began to smoke on his cigar as he placed his hand out, he could feel the energy pulsing around him. He finished his cigar and said, "EM shield, very nice Dr. Magnus." He knew that he had to get all records of himself away from Dr. Magnus; he needed to work in the shadows like he had done for centuries. He thought to himself about his days in 1941, the war had Began for America. However, he had been called in long before that his mission was London.

London 1941

The city was bare; the bombs had been raging on for months. President Roosevelt had sent him into London, to assess the situation. It amazed him how well Roosevelt accepted him and what he was, granted it was a good thing to have a being like himself on the side of the Allies. He wore his Fedora and black sunglasses, the only color that his clothing had was the red tie. Under the jacket he carried two Colt M1911 handguns, he loved those guns they got him through the last war and they were going to get him through this one as well. Just then the sirens blared through the night, as people took cover. He just looked up into the sky and as he did he bumped into a woman.

Drake said, "Excuse me."

The woman looked at him and said, "It is quiet alright. American?"

Drake said, "Right now I am."

The woman laughed and said, "I too travel a lot, Dr. Helen Magnus, you can hide at my flat till the bombs go off."

Drake said, "Thank you, Dr. James Lionheart." He shook her hand.

They walked just a few feet to her flat and entered it and the bombs began to drop, he made himself at home.

Drake said, "You have a lovely place. As a Doctor I take it you have a different place for your lab."

Magnus could make out the guns underneath his coat and said, "Yes, I work with different species of animal. Mainly cryptozoology."

Drake smile and said, "Yes, I somewhat of a biologist, I am fancy more physics that anything. However, right now I am more interested in war than I am science."

Magnus said, "I can tell based on the how stiff you are and the two M1911's you hide under your coat."

He took off his jacket and said, "You have a great eye Dr. Magnus." That's when it hit him; he had seen her before back in 1899, when Darkness had killed that victim. She shot him, however he did not take it personally due to the fact that she was trying to save someone's life that had already been dead.

Magnus said, "In my line of work you have to be. So what brings you to London?"

Drake said, "Classified work, let's just say that the President wants me to assess the situation over and see what aid I can lend. However, I have a feeling that he U.S will be drawn into this war."

He then sensed his daughter's blood coursing through her veins. The same blood that flows through his veins. So it caused dormant genes in humans to transform themselves, I guess it gave her everlasting life. Like the disease that made him the man that he is today.

Magnus interpreted his thought process and said, "Well let's home they come in and help the world soon."

Drake nodded and went back to his thoughts.

Present Day

Drake just pushed his way through the EM field, and he listened to hear if any alarms had been sounded and they were not. He jumped over the wall and then assessed the situation that he was in; there were two options that he could use. First, just walk in through the front door but then if anybody walked by he would be caught. Second, jump in through a window somewhere and enter a room, disable anyone in said room and continue onward. The second option seemed the best way to handle the situation. He walked and saw a light on in one of the rooms, granted he saw better in the dark than any human or abnormal. He climbed up the wall of the Sanctuary, and grew his index finger nail out and began to carve a hole in the window big enough for him to crawl through. He entered the room and he heard the shower going, the bathroom. He walked toward the bathroom, and peered inside, and he saw Kate's glistening body in the shower. Drake took in every inch of her body, as the water fell on her perfect brown skin. He brown hair soaked to the point that she looked very beautiful. He was jolted back into reality, and said, "I have a mission." He then left her room and continued onward. As he continued on he remembered the war, itself the day the US entered the war for the first time in open combat.

June 6, 1944

The President had asked for his assistance in the invasion of Normandy, by now Drake and his team had torn through Germany and Japan. There unit was called the Black Guard, an elite team that was called in for special operations. Mainly those missions had to deal with the stopping of experimentation on abnormals. This time was different Drake's men were joined by Army Rangers, granted Drake's men came from Rangers and Marines. He had no idea why they were called in for this. Drake war on his leather trench coat, four stars, when in battle he wore a black helmet, the rest of his dress was armor that he reinforced to try and withstand bullets. Mainly so that his men and other's that saw him would not know what he truly was.

Captain Johnson said, "Sir, why are we even here?"

Drake turned and said, "President gave us our orders and we follow them. I figure he believes we can get the job done; the Nazi's do have bunkers on the beach. We are the best division the allies have."

Sgt. O'Riley said, "We are a unique division sir, members from the best that the allies have."

Drake nodded and said, "That's true, gentlemen remember when we hit that beach you better fight all the way or I'll…"

Private Michaels interrupted Drake and said, "Kill us yourself."

Drake said, "Right, see at least the Private knows what I'm expecting."

IT was just a five man team, the Private, Sergeant, Captain, and Major. Of course the Major could not talk due to the fact that he had his throat coat by a Nazi solider on the Russian front. The door to their boat dropped and the men out in front were gun downed, very few managed to escape. Drake's team rushed out using the dead as shields till they were able to hide behind some metal grates. Drake just stood there proud so everyone could see, and be inspired. Drake said, "Michaels, O'Riley you take to the left bunker. Captain and Major you take the right. I will take the middle. Let's move it people." They did as they were told like good solders that they were. Drake ran his way through the middle and jumped over the barracked that was in his way. Then he began to climb up the concrete bunker and once he got to the top he pulled out one of his guns and shot the two gunners through one's head into the other. He then entered the bunker and there before him was Darkness, in caporal form.

Drake said, "I had a feeling you'd be in this war."

Darkness smiled and said, "Oh wouldn't have it any other way."

Drake said, "So I see that you have the scar I gave you back in 1776 wasn't it."

Darkness glared and said, "Yes, a constant reminder of how much I hate you. The allies will lose this war."

Drake didn't have time to talk, he pulled out his sword and chopped Darkness's head off, and he burst into a black cloud.

Darkness screamed in a demonic voice, "This isn't it over."

After that little delay Drake set some bombs in the bunker and jumped out the way he came in just as all three bunkers exploded into pieces. Till the end of the war that was the way his team operated taking it to the Axis powers all they had. Saving several lives and abnormal lives every day.

Present Day

Drake found Magnus's office based on the feeling of the Source blood. There he sat at the computer and hacked his way through, the system, analyzing its strengths and weakness. Simultaneously, finding and erasing all traces of himself from their database as well as others. Now it was just like he never existed. This way he would be able to work on stopping Darkness before he became caporal. Just as he was finished he heard the click of a gun and he looked up from the computer. Magnus and Will were both standing at the doorway.

Drake just simply smiled and said, "Good evening Dr. Magnus."

Magnus said, "Same too you Mister Lionheart."

Drake said, "Please call me Drake."

Magnus said, "What are you doing here Drake?"

Drake said, "Erasing myself from your database and also seeing what kind of operation you are running. You have been busy since 1899 Dr. Magnus."

Magnus said, "The same can be said for yourself, so it was you that night."

Drake nodded and said, "Unfortunately I was unable to get there before the girl died."

Magnus said, "What is it?"

Drake said, "Something from my past that I can never be rid of."

Magnus said, "What are you?"

Drake said, "That is something you're going to have to work hard to find Dr. Magnus."

Drake then was enveloped in flames and gone, to the outside wall. As he did that the alarms went off all over the Sanctuary, and he just walked through the EM shield like he had done before and vanished into the night.
