Earth - 1991

Just like that, horror steps from the shadows, and our freedom was gone.

We waited in the cover of darkness.

Hidden in the thick brush and trees as we listened for the sound of a car engine.

The only light being that of the nearly full moon, which was at the highest point in the sky.

Then, I turned and looked as I seen headlights appear in the distance.

The Winter Soldier, who was sitting on the other side of the road signaled for me to stay down as we both got ready to turn our motorcycles on.

As soon as the light-tan car belonging to Howard Stark drove by, we both started our motorcycles and went after him.

When the Winter Soldier shot their tires out and they crashed, we slowly made our way over to the car as Howard crawled around on the ground from being ejected.

His face was covered in blood and he could barely talk. The sounds he made were like hushed mumbles and gurgling.

While I walked over to the man himself, the Winter Soldier walked over to his wife who was calling his name from the passenger seat.

I picked his head up by his hair and while the Winter Soldier strangled his wife, I beat him in the face until he collapsed to the ground.

After staring down at him for a few seconds to make sure the job was done, I picked up his body and placed it back in the burning car.

The Winter Soldier then ripped the trunk of the car open and grabbed Stark's briefcase full of other super soldier serums.

What began as a mission, became a retreat into the unknown. We were backing into the ibis, so worried our sins would follow us. We didn't bother watching where we walked, and behind us was a cliff.

Scoresby cowered in a corner with a bloodied face as you stood over him with dark eyes.

You then leaned down and grabbed the collar of his shirt as he grabbed your wrist.

"You fucking bit-."

You punched him in the face again as he spit blood into the air. You had knocked one of his teeth out and broken his nose. His cheeks and eyes were covered in bruises as well.

"Let this be your only warning, next time I'll beat you till your own crew won't know who you are," you spat in his face before throwing him to the ground and walking out of his office.

As you walked through the control room Quaritch watched you leave Scoresby's office with bloody knuckles and blood shot eyes.

A smirk found it's way onto his face when he seen Scoresby himself walk out of the office with a bloody rag and a fucked up face.

As you approached the Ta'unui village by boat, your heart began to race.

For some reason you were nervous just thinking about what you were about to do.

You had never felt that way before other missions. Sure you knew what you did before was wrong, but at those times you weren't completely in control of your body or free will.

Now, you dreaded just seeing the children of the village run to their parents in fear as you closed in on their home.

Immediately after you were dropped off, the Recoms and soldiers in Skel suits started capturing the peaceful people and tearing their village apart.

"We're looking for weapons, comms. Any kind of tech," a random soldier yelled as you all held the villagers captive.
