Captain America: The Chronicles Of Gracie Hart

The Super Soldier Project

Steve walked into the lab dr erskine at hand I looked up and slid my goggles up my face more "howie"I tapped Howard who looked up "that's the choice" Howard laughed"yeah don't laugh I know its gonna be amazing with him""right so a twiggy guy is gonna save the war your one hell of a best friend" I laugh and playfully slap his arm "Steve"I smile at his confused face and approach him pulling him into a long needed hug "it feels like so long since I did this"I mutter into his ear"um gracie what's um going on"he asks"oh right um"I pull away and grab his hand leading him to the white board dr erskine and howie next to me"Steve this is Howard stark Howard this is Steve rogers my best friend"they nod at each other "ok Steve when I said I was working with the SSR on a project I couldn't tell you about this was it and trust me getting you this chance hasn't been easy considering well"I cough "your kinda twiggy"I frown at my choice of words I hear howie snigger but ignore him. I flipped the board and showed Steve loads of drawings and calculations that had been drawn up"dr erskine choose you to join the army cause you fit the criteria of our super soldier not physically but with what you do" dr erskine steps in "I created a serum that needs to be injected into a soldier and it will make them stronger faster all there senses higher they will be the perfect ideal soldier"he announced "he will become the super soldier"Howard commented puttin his hands in his pocket "and your telling me why"Steve asked confused I sighed "wow he is stupid"Howard muttered i ignore him and walked to where Steve sat and bent to eye level"Steve we want you to be the subject of this super soldier"I explain"me why""your personality is one"dr erskine said. "So will you do it"I ask "how long have you known about this gracie"he asked hurt in his eyes"a while but Steve you need to understand it was a secret project I was one of the lucky few to know I could not tell you"I explained myself"I will do it"he said"one more thing we don't know what after effects it could have we're not even sure if it will have the effect we want"I warned him "ill do it"Steve gave a determine look "ok twigs looks like your gonna be Americas super soldier"Howard laughed I just glare at him.

Once Steve had been fully briefed I waited for him outside the lab he finally came out and smiled at me I smiled back a sad smile "so"I said its all i could say"gracie they told me you defended me as the choice"he smiled "I did Steve this will make you stronger safer in the field that's all I want for you to be safe even though you still could get hurt that's even if it works"I babbled I went on but was stopped when Steve hugged me I hugged him back tears Well in my eyes why am I crying I did not even realise"you can't save everyone grace"Steve whispere in my ear "I know you can't either"I mutter my voice cracking I was taller than Steve but I leaned to rest my head on his shoulder"I miss bucky I have heard nothing since he left no letter hell I should just wait for a telegraph to come through it's been nearly 4 months I sobbed "gracie he's fine"Steve comforted "you don't know that"I continued to cry my tough girl act completely out the window"I miss being able to hang with you to I mean we never really get time together"I wipe my tears"when we win and me and bucky are home safe with you by our side you and bucky will get married have babies grow old me being the best friend being there the whole time"he smiles I laugh a sad one"ok go on get some rest big day tommorow"I push him along"night gracie"he waved as he walked of into the dark I just smiled and waved. I took a few deep breathes feeling a weight of my shoulders but the ache still remained in my chest I was terrified as to why I'd heard nothing from Bucky and I was scared the serum wouldn't work or worse it would work and everything would change for us.
