Patriot Eagle:Legacy of Shadows

The beginning

After five hours, Matt arrives at a secret agency known as **The Shadow Komitet**, which he doesn't realize is tied to the remnants of the Soviet Union. The agency's plan is to achieve what Hydra could not: global domination. They believe Matt could be instrumental in this effort.

**Agent:** "You can take off the blindfold."

**Matt:** "Thanks, but why was I blindfolded?"

**Agent:** "So you wouldn't see the way to our secret facility."

**Matt:** "What's your name?"

**Agent:** "I can't tell you my real name, but people here call me The Siberian because I was born there."

**Matt:** "Okay, cool, I guess."

**The Siberian:** "Here's your room. Rest well because tomorrow, we start your training and testing."

**Matt:** "Training and testing? What are you talking about?"

**The Siberian:** "We need to assess your inherited abilities and train you to reach your full potential."

**Matt:** "But why do you need me?"

**The Siberian:** "Because you're our last hope against these murderer's."

**Matt:** "I'm ready."

**The Siberian:** "See you tomorrow."

**Matt:** "But what will my name be here?"

**The Siberian:** "From now on, you'll be known as the Captain of Justice."

**Matt:** "Alright."

One year later, Matt, now known as the Captain of Justice, has been on mission after mission, defeating opponents of The Shadow Komitet. After being brainwashed and deceived about the true nature of his enemies, Matt is on his first Special Training before a major mission, which introduces a new twist.

**The Siberian:** "Captain of Justice?!"

**Matt:** "Sir, yes, sir!"

**The Siberian:** "Soldiers?!"

**Soldiers:** "Sir, yes, sir!"

**The Siberian:** "Today, I want to introduce you to one of our best soldiers, who is even better than you, Captain of Justice. His name is Winter Soldier. Winter Soldier, step forward!"

**Winter Soldier:** "Sir, yes, sir!"

**The Siberian:** "Today, we're going to have a bit of a demonstration before the mission. Does anyone wish to opt out of the fight?"

**A Random Soldier:** "Me, sir."

**The Siberian:** "Winter Soldier, show him what happens to those who back down."

**Winter Soldier:** "Sir, yes, sir!"

Winter Soldier proceeds to beat the soldier nearly to death with his metal arm. The injured soldier is then taken out of the room. Matt watches in shock, growing increasingly suspicious about The Siberian and the entire agency, but he keeps his thoughts to himself."

The Siberian: "As I know, none of you stand a chance against Winter Soldier, so you will fight among yourselves. But you, Captain of Justice, will be the only one allowed to challenge Winter Soldier."

Matt: "Alright, let's do this."

After a long and intense fight, Winter Soldier eventually begins to choke Matt until he is shocked by an electric pulse. It turns out that Winter Soldier has an electric chip implanted in his throat, which can be activated at any time. Matt, furious and betrayed, confronts The Siberian.

Matt: "Are you out of your mind? These are your soldiers, not puppets to be treated like garbage! I will not respect that at all!"

The Siberian: "What did you just say to me, soldier?!"

Matt: "I'm not your soldier. I'm just a teenager whose parents were murdered. I joined to bring justice."

The Siberian starts laughing, and the room grows colder by the second. He then says:

The Siberian: "You're so naive, kid. I sent Winter Soldier to kill your parents. Steve got lucky and escaped before Winter Soldier arrived. Unfortunately for your mom, she wasn't so lucky. I watched as Winter Soldier killed her and burned your home to ashes. But now that you know everything, you have a choice: either you join me and we become unstoppable, or you die right here, right now."

Matt: "You know what? You're right. We could be unstoppable. But I also remember promising to seek justice for my family. So you'll have to try to kill me."

The air is cold and tense in the dimly lit room. Matt Rogers, battered and bruised, stands face-to-face with The Siberian, who is smirking menacingly. A frigid mist hangs in the air as The Siberian uses his powers to manipulate the ice around them.

The Siberian: (with a wicked grin) "This is all on you, boy! Ahhh!"

The Siberian raises his hands, his eyes glowing an icy blue. Instantly, Matt feels a searing pain as the water in his body begins to freeze, his muscles locking up and his veins burning with cold.

Matt: (grimacing in pain) "Ahhh! I'm... not gonna let you... kill me!"

Desperately, Matt tries to lift his gun, but the intense cold has frozen the metal solid in his hand. The Siberian's icy laugh fills the room as he starts to turn his own body into pure ice, preparing for a final, deadly strike.

Suddenly, a loud gunshot echoes through the room. The Siberian staggers back, clutching his chest where a bullet has pierced his ice armor.

The Siberian: (shocked, looking down at his chest) "What? How...?"

Matt: (breathing heavily, finding strength) "Looks like not everyone is loyal to you."

From the shadows, the Winter Soldier steps forward, a smoking gun in his hand. His expression is unreadable, a mix of confusion and recognition.

The Siberian: (snarling) "Winter Soldier! Get up and kill the so-called Captain of Justice!"

Winter Soldier: (coldly, almost mechanically) "Sir, yes sir."

The Winter Soldier walks over to Matt, pointing the gun directly at his head. Matt, weakened but defiant, looks up at him.

Matt: "Wait! My dad is Steve Rogers. I'm his son. You knew my dad... Why did you kill my mother?"

The Winter Soldier's expression falters, a flicker of humanity breaking through his conditioned stare. Slowly, he lowers the gun and turns it, handing it over to Matt, the weight of his actions and his past visible in his eyes.

Winter Soldier: (quietly, almost a whisper) "Steve?"

Matt: (taking the gun, lowering it) "Yeah... My dad. I don't know what happened to you, but if you knew him, you know he wouldn't want this. Come with me. We can help each other."

Suddenly, The Siberian, recovering from the shock, lunges forward, attempting to choke the Winter Soldier with his icy grip. But the Winter Soldier reacts swiftly, grabbing The Siberian by the throat and throwing him across the room. The Siberian crashes into a wall, slumping down unconscious.

Matt: (urgently) "We need to move. Now."

Winter Soldier: (nodding, a slight smile breaking through) "Alright, Captain of Justice."

Matt: (smirking, shaking his head) "Call me Matt. I'm done with that other name."

Winter Soldier: (with a small chuckle) "Fair enough. I don't remember my own name, so... you can call me whatever you want."

Matt: (nodding, determined) "Alright, Bucky. We don't have much time. You ready to kick some ass?"

Winter Soldier (Bucky): (grinning) "Always."

They move swiftly, side by side, ready to face whatever comes next, a new partnership forged in the chaos of battle.
