Captain America: The Chronicles Of Gracie Hart

Cost For The Super Soldier

Every one was over the moon that it worked they all stared at Steve as if he was a god I watched from the corner of my eye as a unknown man played with a lighter from no where a bomb explodes and the man grabs the last remaining serum vile everyone runs at him and he shots hitting dr erskine I run for the fallen doctor as does steve. "Steve back up I needed space" I pulled off my lab coat and place it on the docs wound but he was bleeding out, silent tears stain my face "doc stay with me listen to my voice"I hoax him he smiles at me"do something gracie"Steve gave me a intent look "I'm trying"tears poor more down my checks doc looks at Steve and taps his chest where his heart is it must of meant something cause when doc died Steve looked almost sinister he chased off after the shooter I  checked his pulse but felt nothing I was now sobbing howie wrapped his arms round my waist and pulls me up from my place near doc I was in shock he hugged me close and I hugged back tight I needed this it was nothing but a friend helping a friend"why"I said through my tears howie just hushed me the blood of the dead doctor on my hands being smeared onto howie.

Later once Steve had returned with Peggy he told me the man was dead but that did not put my mind to rest I done my job and took a blood sample from Steve "gracie"I hear Steve call to me I heard him fine just did not look at him "gracie"he repeated i froze from my actions of taking his blood and without looking up replied "what Steve""gracie I know it hurts now but doc would not want you like this""docs dead Steve your the only super soldier.. we are screwed we have already lost this war and bucky"I stopped not wanting to reduce myself to tears once more"we'll be fine we all will, have faith"Steve calmed I finished taking his blood and scoffed"faith, faith look where that got us doc had faith in you but look now he's dead and we have no idea what to do the secret to reproducing that serum is in your blood code now and without doc it will take years to make again if we even can hydra is moving fast more advance we have lost what I had faith in winning"I said holding back tears Steve said nothing for a moment "what's hydra"he finally asks "hydra is Hitler's deep seated science division there advanced beyond the Brits beyond the US and this was our way to stop them but now we can't"Gracie sighs wiping the dot of blood of Steve's arm "I don't believe that your smart you'll figure it out"Steve says squeezing my hand till Peggy entered repeating the science I had just explained about steves blood she said something that hit me doc would be glad Steve was the only one to get to use it. We all followed Peggy out howie came out from fixing up the machine and stood by me Philips stared to rant how hydra was more advance than us and how he is screwed I was snapped out of my line of thinking by Philips "hart, stark, carter pack your bags we go to london first light"he nods I plaster a fake smile "wait if your going after Schmidt I want in"Steve stepped in "yeah I wanted a army of super soldiers all I got was you no"Philips replied this pissed me off"so shouldn't we use him doc died to make him how he is now"I argued "hart you are the only scientist who worked close enough with erskine to possibly make more serum you are useful him not so much"he gave me a stern look "so you want me to leave""basically"I rolled my eyes"yes sir"I sighed we all began to pile out the room as I passed Steve I gave him a look of sympathy and placed my hands on his shoulders and kiss his cheek and carry on walking. To london we go.
