You wake up. You are strapped to a table. Doctors and nurses surround you. It takes you a minute to remember where you are and what you are doing. Dr. Abraham Erskine and Howard Stark approach you.
"How do you feel?" asks Dr. Erskine.
Before you can answer a commotion breaks out. Quickly you are unstrapped and escorted to another room.
"Please stay here, we will return shortly," says Stark, as a nurse helps you sit on the bed. You watch him leave the room. You look around and there is a small sink and a mirror on the wall. You stand up to find that you are slightly dizzy. Your mouth is dry and you can feel a tingling in your fingers that radiates up your arms. You walk slowly to the sink.
When you reach it you look into the mirror. Physically, you don't look different. However, every nerve in your body feels different. Every muscle aches. You rest your hands on the edge of the sink and lean in. Trying to focus, you turn the water on. You cup your hands under the faucet and pool water into your hands. It's cold, but not too cold. You splash some on your face. You cup your hands again and pool more water. This time you bring it up to your mouth and drink. It's refreshing. You turn the faucet off and look into the mirror. In that instant, you get a sharp pain in your head. You close your eyes tight and cringe in pain. You grip the side of the sink, All of a sudden, you hear a crack. Before you can react you fall to the ground. Pieces of porcelain fall around you. You look up in shock. You look at your hands and back to the sink. "Was that me?" You say to yourself. After a moment you get up. You look around once again. You walk to the bed and lay down. Confused about what just happened. You can hear people talking. You see the light above flicker. You drift off.

You are awoken to a loud bang coming from outside the door. You hear screaming and a big commotion. You hear gunshots and more screaming. You peer out the window and see women and men running down the hall. Smoke begins to fill the halls. You see some men from the army-run past your door toward the commotion. You see a guy in a suit run past the door. Right behind him, a tall blond man is running after him. You notice the speed at which he is running. You open the door and walk out into the hallway. People are running, you can hear the building crumbling. You run to the procedure room you were first in. You notice a few people standing around. You then notice the doctor lying on the ground. He's not moving. He's dead. Before you can react and move closer, something pinches the back of your neck. You fall down and become drosey. Your vision is blurred. You are weak. You can see your feet but they aren't moving. They are being dragged. You blink and lookup. You see the lights above you. You look further up and notice a man dragging you. You can't make-out who it is. You pass out again.
You begin to wake up, but you're in a car.
"She's waking up!" says a male voice. Your vision is blurred. You can't tell who is talking.
You look around. You begin to panic.
"Quick give her another shot of the serum! We will have to put her on ice until we need her." you hear another man say.
Before you fully wake up you feel a pinch and your eyes close again. Lights flash around, but you're not awake. You see people's faces, you feel pain, love, sadness, anger, happiness. Everything is going so fast you can't even begin to comprehend what is happening. Everything fades to black. You feel cold, then nothing.
