"𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡?" Thomas asked referring to the blood samples taken from him and Steve.

"Any hope of reproducing a program is locked in your genetic code. But without Dr. Erskine, it could take years." Peggy replied.

"He deserved more than this." Steve sighed.

"If it could only work once, he'd be proud it was you." Peggy said softly.

"What about me?" Thomas questioned.

"Oh yes, you're here. How unfortunate." Peggy sarcastically replied.

"You're so funny you know that."

"Yes I do." Peggy and Steve smirked causing Thomas to huff.

"Colonel Phillips, my committee is demanding answers." Senator Brandt said as he walked in the SSR tech lab which had the HYDRA submarine.

"Great. Why don't we start with how a German spy got a ride to my secret installation in your car?" Phillips turned to Stark who is working on the submarine. "What have we got here?"

"Speaking modestly, I'm the best mechanical engineer in this country. But I don't know what's inside this thing or how it works. We're not even close to this technology." Howard replied.

"Then who is?" Brandt questioned.

"HYDRA. I'm sure you've been reading our briefings." Phillips said.

"I'm on a number of committees, Colonel."

"HYDRA is the Nazi deep science division. It's led by Johann Schmidt. But he has much bigger ambitions." Peggy announced as she walked in with Steve and Thomas behind her.

"HYDRA's practically a cult. They worship Schmidt, they think he's invincible."

"So what are you gonna do about it?" Brandt asked.

"Spoke to the president this morning. As of today the SSR is being retested."

"Colonel?" Peggy asked.

"We are taking the fight to HYDRA. Pack your bags Agent Carter. You too, Stark. You're flying to London tonight."

"Sir, if you're going after Schmidt, I want in." Steve said.

"Me too." Thomas nodded.

"Steve, you're an experiment. You're going to Alamogordo. Thomas, you can stay with Agent Carter."

"The serum worked." Steve said.

"I asked for an army and all I got was you two. You are not enough."

"With all due respect to the Colonel, I think we may be missing the point. I've seen you in action, Steve. More importantly, the country's seen it." Brandt said. "The enlistment lines have been around the block since your picture hit the newsstands. You don't take a soldier, a symbol like that, and hide him in a lab. Son, do you want to serve your country on the most important battlefield of the war?"

"Sir, that's all I want."

"Then, congratulations. You just got promoted."

"I don't know if I can do this." Steve said backstage getting dressed in a superhero costume.

"Nothing to it. Sell off a few bonds, bonds buy bullets, bullets kills Nazi's. Bing bang boom. You're an American hero." One of Brandts assistants said.

"It's just not how I pictured getting there."

"The senator's got a lot of pull up on the hill. You play ball with us, you'll be leading your own platoon in no time. Take the shield." As Steve puts on his head mask he pushes Steve onto the stage.
