Captain America: The Chronicles Of Gracie Hart

End Of A Chapter Begining Of A New One

The war ended a few months after hitler killed himself we had backed the hostile a into a corner Schmidt was dead but so was Steve and bucky the best men I will ever know. People would party in the streets while those who faced true horror in these past months mourned the dead. A memorial was served nation wide for the great captain america for my Steve rogers my best friend my brother. I did not cry after that last talk with Steve it was his choice he would not want me to react how I did with bucky. I had not left my apartment in Brooklyn since the end of the war which was about a week ago only looked at the world through thin glass. Howie had asked for a search party to look for the plane that had crashed to find steves body he was leading it he was most likely out at sea looking right now.

Chester came by he had a photo which had been taken of me Steve and bucky days before buckys death the last picture we had as the three of us I had plenty of other pictures of us when we were younger. I gave Peggy a photo of Steve before the super serum she put it in a file that was stamped inactive along with my file which had been stamped inactive I was no longer needed howie had offered me a job with his company stark inc I said I would think about it. I was shocked to hear a knock at the door I answered the door to see Chester"colonel how can I help you" I asked "can I come in"he asked I stepped aside so he could enter. "Ms hart we have a letter and package for your eyes only"he explained "oh who's it from"I asked confused as to who sent me it"dr erskine"he simply replied "but he's dead"I clarified "yes he is but a letter in his will was left to me it said to give you this and only you this in case of his death I thought it best to wait till the war was won to hand you it"he sighed I took a breath of air "ok let me see it"I flipped my arms in the air. Me and the colonel both sat on my couch a box in front of me with a letter on it I opened the letter first:

dear gracie,
it was wonderful working with you I was sure I would be found and killed sooner or later it was just the matter of when. I got the pleasure of working with you before my death, your were strong, brave, kind and full of heart something most people don't have. you worked close with me in these times so only you know what to do with the gift in the box i don't know what has come of Steven or your love James I am sorry if it hasn't ended well my dear
use my gift to your will but wisely as it will be the only one
dr erskine

I sighed and passed the letter to Chester who read over it. I turned the box so it faced me, on it read fragile I slowly pulled it towards me and unclipped the lock and opened the lid inside held 8 viles of blue liquid my eyes widened as did Chester's "super solider serum the last of it and he gave it to me"I asked Chester"seems that way"he sighed to shocked to say anything else. I sat staring at the blue liquid taking a vile from the box turning it in my fingers "what could he possibly want me to do with it"I frown looking at Chester "reproduce more, use it on yourself, put it away and never look at it again it belongs to you Gracie and what you choose to do with it is all up to you"Chester sighs it was silent for a while before I spoke "I'll take it"I said not thinking "what"Chester turned his eyes from the blue serum to me"I'll take it I'll have It injected into me"I repeated with more detail "we don't know if it is fit for a women"Chester argued "there's no proof to say otherwise either and like you said it's my choice"I concluded "if this is about Rogers"Chester goes to say I cut him off "colonel this isn't just about him does part of me think that taking the serum will bring me closer to him yes but also why not take it myself as kind as dr erskine was to think I could recreate his work is I know I can't even if. Could it would probably end i my death I can't leave it somewhere for it to get into the wrong hands so the safest place for it is in my blood stream"I explain "when howie gets back we create another super soldier" I say"and if you die while the process goes on"he asked"then I die what do I have to lose"I turned to face his horror struck face.

it had been a week since we found out there was one more dose of serum it had been 2 days since howie had returned he did not find Steve but the tessaract the cube hydra used to create weapons it was to be locked away somewhere too secret. Today I would be injected with the serum I was not scared I had faith. "How are you feeling" howie asked "I'm not scared howie" I laughed "good good you don't have to do this"he worried"you worry to much"I cup his face and kissed his cheek"I just don't want you to die"he smiled and blushed I laughed that I made stark blush. Nothing romantic was between me and stark it was to fast after everything maybe in time. I was in a black crop top that was tight against my bra I had stretchy leather leggings on with combat boots allmy clothes left me exposing my belly and arms "ok"I took a deep breath before laying down on the cold black leather chair which Steve had laid on what felt like forever ago a nurse injected some pain killers in to my arm before strapping me down. Chester stood by Peggy not to far from the lab area worry written across there faces I closed my eyes as howie presses a button causing 2 pads with needles on them to close onto my arms and 2 more on my belly and the last 2 on my thighs I watched as the 8 voles of sryum emptied into my blood stream the iron doors closed over me and I felt it move into a standing stance. "Ok now stark"I yelled through the glass and so it began I could feel it "10%,20%,30%,40%,50%"I hear howie counting up as he turned the dial a brighter light flashed in my face I bit my lip drawing blood as to not call out in pain"60%,70%,80%" howie turned it higher I yelled in pain it was the most intensifying pain I had ever experienced "90%,100%" howie called and that was it pressure was released I felt tired I did not feel any different the doors opened and I heard gasps I was unstrapped and tumbled out of the seat howie caught me along side Peggy I could feel the difference I felt taller stronger full of life "did it work"I ask stupid question I know "take a look for yourself "Peggy said in front of me was placed a mirror I looked up and saw a new gracie standing there this gracie had darker brown hair brighter green eyes my arm muscles were bigger but not the gross bigger just right for a girl I had a slight six pack just right for a girl and not to brag but a perfect ass I was taller but only just maybe a tiny bit taller than howie I was 5'6 before I was now maybe 5'9-5'10 Chester walked over to me"you did it"is all he said "I did it"I mutter I was the new super soldier
