Charlotte Stark is back again, and back in action!
Charlie has been helping a secret undercover organization for a couple of months, and is faced with a huge problem.
She meets someone she never knew existed, and they already have bad blood. And n...
Washington, D.C. _______________ I pulled up to a two story building and opened the glovebox of the car and pulled out the Blitzkrieg button and put it in my hand bag.
I hesitantly got out of the car and closed the car door with a sigh, "You've got this." I walked into the building and didn't see an older person in sight, and I bumped into a tall blonde with pill bottles in her hands.
"I am so sorry!" I say and began to help her pick the bottles off of the ground, "No it was all my fault. It's my first day and I've been running around all day." She said with a small smile and pushed her bangs out of the way.
"Are you here to see someone?" She asked me and I grinned, "Uh yeah! I was just about to ask where to go."
"Who are you here to see? I can help you find their room." The blonde said as she sat all of the pill bottles on the counter and picked up a clip board.
"Margaret Carter or Peggy Carter."
She looked at the clipboard and began to flip the pages, "She is in room 107. If you go up those stairs she will be four doors down from the stairs on the right side of the hall." The blonde says and I smile, "Thank you so much!" I say and I made my way to the stair case.
I followed the directions the lady downstairs gave me, and I made it to room 107. I finally made it to the person who could give me all of the answers I needed. No more having to go through old junk, or make it through booby traps. No more having to lie to Steve or my father. Hesitantly, I knocked on the door.
"Come in!" I heard a gentle voice say and I opened the door slowly, "Are you here with my medicine?" An older lady with slightly curled hair asked me and I shook my head.
"No ma'am. I'm Charlotte Stark, Howard Stark's granddaughter. But everyone calls me Charlie." I say and she smiles. "Oh my! You're telling me that Howard had a child? That is quite surprising." She said as she motioned me to come sit next to her bed.
"I hope I'm not intruding, Ms. Carter." I say as I sit down in the chair next to her bed. She shook her head, "No, not at all, dear. But I must know why are you here? How do you know about someone like me and how did you manage to find me?" She questioned and I expected this to happen.
"It's a really long story. I don't know if you would want to hear it, or if you will even believe it." I say and she grins, "I have time."
I told her everything that has happened to me. I told her about working for SHIELD and working for the detective agency out in New York. I brought up all of the events in between; the mystery girl and guy and then I brought up the gas that killed all of the people in the factory.
"Wait— you said it's some sort of gas?" Peggy questioned and I nodded, "Yes, and it made the people act insane. The security footage showed the people choking, punching, and clawing each other to death. It was literally a fight to the death." I say and she gasped.
"What? What is it?" I ask and jump up.
She sat straight up in her bed, "Oh dear Lord... how could they have made another one? It was destroyed that's what Howard said!" She exclaimed and I was confused at this point.
"Ms. Carter, What did they make? What did my grandfather supposedly destroy?" I asked and her tired eyes met mine, "It's called the Midnight Oil. Howard created it back in 1944. It was made to help soldiers stay awake for days at a time but it was a complete failure." She said as she leaned back on her bed frame.
"It caused symptoms that were closely related to sleep deprivation, it caused anger, hallucinations, and a form of psychosis." She said with her hand over her mouth, "He said it was destroyed, but Howard always had backups. And knowing Howard he probably wasn't telling the truth."
"I'm guessing that you have dealt with this problem before?" I asked and she nodded.
"A man named Leet Brannis stole it from you grandfather's safe that was located in the old Stark mansion many years ago. Brannis was a Leviathan Operative." She said with a sigh, "I don't know if Leviathan stills exists. I mean, leviathan was a man, but I don't know if his legacy still lives on. No one should not about the Midnight Oil."
I walked over to the window and looked out, "How do I destroy it?" I ask and she shook her head, "I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that, dear. Howard didn't say, but I do know he destroyed his 'recipe'. All I can say is, find the person who is making the oil. That is the only way."
I sighed and sat down next to her, "Thank you so much for your help, Ms. Carter—"
"Please , call me Peggy." She says softly and I smile, "I promise I will be out of your hair in a minute, but I have one more thing to ask about a certain invention my grandfather made." I say as she sets her cup of water down.
She nodded for me to continue, "It's called the Blitzkrieg Button. I didn't know what it was at first, but then I found it in my grandfathers notes." I say as I pull it out of my purse.
"He said to press this button, and I did, but it's just a vial of blood. Would you happen to know whose blood is it and why he had it?" I asked and her face turned pale, "Peggy?"
"Th-that can't be... I poured that blood into the river years ago! How is it still here? How does Howard have another vile? There were only 13 of those and the government has what was left!" She rambled on until I picked up her hand.
"Whose blood is it? Why is it so important?" I ask and she sniffles, "It belonged to Steve Rogers."
My heart stopped beating for half of a second and it felt like I couldn't breathe.
