Winter's Father

Chapter 4

                Winter Soldier
   Karpov entered the room that I was kept in.

   "Soldier." He said. I stood up and walked in front of him. "You have been assigned another mission." He said, inspecting my room.

   The room wasn't in the best state. The walls had punch marks in them, that I put there. The floor was cold and hard. There was no furniture except for my bed. I was a little to big for it. I didn't bother to sleep in it anyway. The only time I slept was in the cryo.

    "Very clean." Karpov said to me. The only reason it was clean was because I don't touch anything except for sitting on the bed.

   "Come along." He said and we both walked out.

   The halls were quiet. There were agents going up and down them. They didn't make a sound when we went by. I guess everyone's scared of me. Who wouldn't be?

   "Your going to be training our new recruit." Karpov said as we made our way through the facility. "The little boy you retrieved yesterday is going to be thrilled to see you again." He continued with a little sarcasm in his tone.

   Then I remembered him. The little boy who was about nine. They wanted me to train him? Why would they want me to show a little kid how to kill people? Hydra has me doing a lot of strange things lately.

   After a while of walking, we made it to the training room. As soon as I walked in, I remembered something.

   Hydra has had me training some new recruits into a Winter Soldier like me. Today, they're going to fight me. Some people would be scared to be replaced, but I wasn't one of those people.

  I walked into the training room where the other soon to be Winter Soldiers were. Karpov, guards, and some scientists were there too.

   The first one was Josef, who was the best out of all of them.

   I threw a punch at him, but he blocked it. He dove under my arm. When he did, he grabbed my metal arm and twisted it. Then threw me up and kicked me. I landed on the ground in front of Karpov.

  "Well done." Karpov told Josef. One of the scientists took his pulse. Josef grabbed the scientist by the neck and threw him on the ground hard. Then the others started going haywire too. They were taking out all of the guards.

   Karpov grabbed me and said, "Get me out of here." I led him all the way out and slammed the door.

    I came back to reality. I didn't know where it came from. It must've been an old memory that I had forgotten about.

   Then a guard came in with the boy. The boy had a back pack on. He just stood there staring at me.
   Karpov gestured for the guard to leave and the guard obeyed.

   "Well, I'm going to let you two get acquainted." Karpov said and left as well.

   It was just me and him. We stood there quietly, staring at each other. I could already tell that this was going to be a long day.
