Rogers
I was supposed to meet Phil Coulson in approximately 5 minutes. He is meant to take me to this secret base of SHIELD’s. I hear sounds of whirring up in the air, I gaze up to see a jet slowly lowering down, a big gust of wind hits me and I start backing away from the jet. A few seconds later the black jet lands, I raise my hand to shade my eyes because the sun’s rays reflect of the metallic black paint and into my eyes. A man steps out of the jet, Phil Coulson I assume.
“Steve Rogers?” he asks.
“Yes, sir,” I reply.
“No need to call me sir, I am Agent Phil Coulson,” he says.
“A pleasure to meet you, Sir,” I say politely.
“No Captain, the pleasures all mine and please call me Phil” he responds.
I nod and he gestures for me to follow him into the jet. I observe the jet and then take a seat, Phil hands me a tablet and tells me to watch the videos. On the screen I see a green mutant attack a university, I assume this is the hulk, according to the files that Fury gave me.
“We’re about forty minutes from the base, sir,” the pilot reports.
Agent Coulson gets up from his seat and walks towards me, he looks down at the table and then back at me.
“So, this Doctor Banner was trying to replicate the serum that was used on me?” I question.
“A lot of people were, you were the world’s first superhero. Banner thought gamma radiation might hold the key to unlocking Erskine’s original formula,” Coulson replies.
As Coulson mentions Doctor Erskine my mind flashes back to when I first met him, the way he gave me a chance as a soldier and how he believed in me when no one else did. He was half the reason I am the man I am today, I owe a lot to him. I look down at my tablet; The Hulk gives a mighty roar and slams a jeep apart.
“Didn’t really go his way, did it?” I ask humourlessly.
“Not so much, when he's not that thing though, guy's like a Stephen Hawking,” Phil says.
I look up at him with confusion, Stephen Hawking? Who in America is that? (A/N: LOL)
“He's like a smart person. I gotta say, it's an honour to meet you, officially,” He announces.
I smile at Coulson.
“I sort of met you, I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping,” Phil says but messes up his words and stands there awkwardly.
I look down and give an awkward smile. I stand up and walk to the side of the jet with Phil following me.
“I mean, I was... I was present while you were unconscious from the ice,” he says trying to recover from his earlier speech, however he quickly changes the subject and says “you know, it's really, it's just a... just a huge honour to have you on board.”
“Well, I hope I’m the man for the job,” I reply.
“Oh, you are, absolutely. Uh... we've made some modifications to the uniform. I had a little design input,” he adds.
“The uniform? Aren't the stars and stripes a little... old fashioned?” I ask half confused and half disapproving.
“With everything that's happening, the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old fashioned,” Phil says in a serious tone.
