Star Wars: Avenging Rebels

Chapter 2

Note: This chapter, and several following, will have the summaries of the Avengers movies. So, if you want to skip that, go right ahead.

"Where shall I begin," I mused, sitting on a crate. "Right, our unofficial leader. His name is Steve Rogers, aka Captain America. The man out of time. He was born in the 1920's, during the time of the Great Depression, and fought in World War II. But before he entered the war, he was often rejected from being a solider for being to small and skinny. And for having lots of health problems. But then, he was accepted, because he was going to be a potential test subject for the Super Solider Program."

"Now, the Super Solider Program was to take people and enhance their minds and their bodies. Steve was the first, and only, subject of the original serum. Doctor Abraham Erskine, the creator of the Super Solider Serum, was killed after the test."

"Steve went from the scrawny, short kid from Brooklyn to the tall, muscular Super Solider in minutes. When Steve reemerged from Project Rebirth, Dr. Erskine was killed. Steve chased down the person who killed the doctor, and found out about HYDRA."

"1920's? Man out of Time?" I heard someone ask. Ezra and I looked up to see the Ghost Crew standing there. Zeb had asked the question.

"1920 AD, or Anno Domini. Before that, we had BCE or Before Common Era. Anno Domini stands for 'in the year of our Lord'. But I'll get to that another day."

The Lasat shrugged.

"The Great Depression?" asked Ezra.

"You know what. Here. Watch this." I summoned my laptop out of the pocket dimension I kept in. Despite lack of internet access, I had downloaded and saved videos from YouTube. I pulled up the video The Great Depression: Crash Course US History #33

"That must have been awful for Steve's parents," Hera commented when the video was over.

"It was awful for almost everyone at the time," I stated. Hera and Ezra nodded.

"And?" Sabine asked.

"Well, things got better by the late 1930's, but by the 1940's WWII had begun," I said.

"Is your people always at war?" Ezra asked.

"Yes, there is always some turmoil going on. But it has been over 70 years since WWII, and I hope we have a very long time before another World War begins. But, with Trump in charge of America, it won't be long until someone gets triggered. Let me tell you this- Trump is a terrible President. He only cares about himself and is an atrocious person. I wish Obama was still President of the US. Yes, he made some mistakes, but he had been the best president in a while."

"And who chooses the President?" Hera asked this time.

"The people do. But it was the whites, or the majority as they put it, that chose Trump. He made America much more hateful and intolerable." I sighed. "I just can't understand people can be so hateful and intolerable. They want America to be great again. America was never great. We had slavery, we pushed indigenous people out of their homes, we had lots and lots of problems. And Trump? He just makes things worse. He is having immigrant children ripped away from their families. He's labeling immigrants. He's having immigrants being put into jail. Just for coming over to America for a new start. Sure, they come over illegally, BUT there are other ways of handling things. All these things Trump has done, Adolf Hilter, an Austrian who became a German Leader, did before. And he was the one who started WWII. So, unless the opposite party elects a woman- a good, proper woman- Trump will be elected again. And it won't be long until WWIII."

Everyone stared at me, dead silence hanging in the air.

"Yeah, things are pretty shitty in America."
