Howard was pretty cool, but it seemed like he was more focused on the machine more than anything else. Especially during the end of the week.

Actually it seemed like everyone was in a rush especially when the Doc guy came back, the guy who helped Steve get into the military.

It was only like a day(? it's hard to tell time) before the person who I assume is Agent Carter came in with Steve in tow. Instantly sitting up from the chair I was previously laying in I wagged and backed once.

Almost instantly the commotion around us stopped and Howard put away this tool he was working with. Jumping down I say that the doc guy told Steve to take off his hat, shirt, and tie and was instantly confused on what was happening.

As Steve put his hat on top of my head in good fun I rubbed his pant leg in good luck for whatever he was planning on doing.

I wish I knew but no one has told me a thing other than that whatever they were building was going to help them with the war, but other than bits and pieces I knew next to nothing and it annoyed me on end.

I watched as Steve took off his shirt and tie and then made his way over to the machine that Howard had been working on when I first got here.

Tilting my head as new voices rang through what sounded like glass I saw men looking out a window and staring at Steve and what he was getting into.

Suddenly my stomach felt like it was stopping as I watched as Steve laid down and talked to the doc once more.

I watched as they strapped Steve in and move away from him. Suddenly Howard picked me up and I struggled a bit before realizing that he was getting me to safety from something and allowed him to put these weird glasses over my eyes.

I watched as woman put something over Steve's chest and got out these blue vials and watched the Doc talk.

From there I watched as Howard turned on whatever the machine was turn on and get a bit brighter. Suddenly happy that I had the glasses I leaned forward as Howard started to call out percentages as he turned this wheel that obviously lead to the machine.

I heard a few grunts that only a dog (or wolf) could hear and got worried. Hopping off the table from where I was I barked wildly as I knew that whatever they were doing was hurting them.

Finally, almost finally they heard Steve yelling in a way and the person who I think was Peggy was telling them to shut it off.

Still barking I clawed at the bottom of the machine and did my best to help Steve out. I heard them telling to turn it off and felt angry when Steve said no.

I was pulled back by some scientists and watched in horror as the lights around broke until finally, finally the machine opened.

But something felt off and I couldn't put my paw on it. Walking through legs who were going to greet Non-Steve I was suddenly pushed into the cart.

Suddenly the commotion seemed to be quiet as everyone watched the cart tip forward and toward me.

"Percy!" Two voices shouted in alarm as suddenly the cart crashed on me along with the blue veil. Next thing I knew glass cut into my fur and whatever the blue liquid was drenched my fur.

It was sticky and I completely hated it as hands moved all around me and picked up the cart.

"Did it spill into him." A voice demanded as hands were suddenly everyone and I hated it because I felt stuffy and hot and felt like my insides were turning into my outsides.

Too much noise, there was too much noise and too many hands as my eyes clamped shut and I growled dangerously and in warning.

Only it sounded a lot louder than it was suppose to and I blinked in shock as the hands stilled and the voices went quiet.

"Shhh." A lone voice said and started to pet my head. It was the non-Steve who smelled like Steve and acted like Steve.

Part of me didn't like this new look, especially the height, but I hated whatever was happening to my insides and how the world seemed to be tilting a lot more than it normally is.

Before I knew it the ground was coming a lot closer to my face when an explosion from the upstairs area when off.

Suddenly I didn't feel the ground and instead felt myself being picked up with large, hard hands and I didn't like it.

But my body felt too loose and if anything drugged to put up a fight even though it really wanted to when a shot rang out and I felt the air through my fur as if we were running.

I heard shouting and someone telling the other guy to stop. I distantly remember this kid being used as a shield before I bit the guy with all the strength I had (which wasn't much in my drug induced haze but from the way the guy yelled it hurt).

I remember water and getting some of my strength back as the cuts from the glass healed and being underwater before hands that were familiar brought me back to land.

Coughing I watched as the guy who wolfnapped me commit suicide and the almost helpless look Steve had even when he picked me up and looked confused by my healed skin.

That was when I really passed out.
