"Albert... Howard..,

Albert Einstein and Howard Stark stood in a grassy field. Standing next to them was Robert Oppenheimer, who seemed to be looking out into the lake. Not even facing the physicist. The look on Oppenheimer's face was that one of horror. Frozen in place as his eyes didn't leave the lake. The way Robert spoke and how he seemed to be staring off into space, and the way his eyes looked seemed to unerve Albert a little. But he kept calm.

Oppenheimer: ...when I came to you both with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world...

Howard: Of course, Rob.

Einstein: We remember it well. What of it?

Oppenheimer: I believe we did.

Both Einstein and Howard's faces fell with horror as the realization of Oppenheimer's words dawns on them. Despondent, not even paying any attention to a man walking up to the two geniuses, they walk off. Oppenheimer continued to stare out at the lake, wondering in silent horror of the terrible possibilities because of his invention.

Hiroshima
August 6, 1945

In the city of Hiroshima, all was relatively peaceful. Despite the time it currently was and what was going on in the world at the moment. The Japanese city seemed to mostly be quiet this early in the morning as citizens left for work, children went to school, and markets and businesses opened their doors for the work day.

Though things have been getting intense lately. Such as the war in the pacific during the Second World War. However the war had not reached the shores of Japan itself, battles had been fought away from its cities unlike the cities of Europe where most battles of WWll were fought. Most of the Japanese military had not even thought of the Allies attacking their island. But they'd be proven wrong as their own land would soon to be have a taste of the war they helped fight, karma delivered by the very country they attacked with their planes.

In the skies above, a US plane soared over the city. The plane was high above the clouds, but that didn't stop the Japanese citizens from looking up at it as they heard the engines while it passed overhead. They noticed an object had dropped from it, plummeting to the ground at terrifying speeds as they heard it whistle through the air. The object made them all runaway. Running as fast as they could to get away from it. Others were slower and their hearts were beating fast.

Then... it hit...

Fire and smoke shot up into the air. Shaking the ground like it was an earthquake. Building shook, houses rocked, and even the ground where the bomb hit had collapsed into a massive crater from the explosion. The City of Hiroshima felt like hours had passed from the massive explosion. Ringing in all their ears continued for a moment before it all calmed down and the flames died away. Leaving only a massive smoke cloud that stretched all the way from the ground to the sky. The ground was destroyed and uneven along with houses, lives must have also been claimed form the shockwave of such a blast while others were injured or possibly fatally wounded.

But they wouldn't have time to focus on those people

Suddenly the ground started to shake, taking the citizens by surprise. The ground of the impact area began to crack apart and even start to fall down like it was sinking beneath the surface. Kicking up smoke and dust into the air and prompting the people to run. Following the rumbling, they heard a thunderous footstep. Followed by another, and another. Something was walking out of the sinkhole that just formed. The people of Hiroshima watched as a massive form emerged from the hole. Growling as it stood and overshadowed the people that watched in frozen fear.
