Nemesis

Chapter 2~ Flash to the future

August 8th  1942

Frank Tresser cursed for the seventh time that night. He was working on his experiment at the garage which was now his private lab, but the place was a mess. Broken test tubes, lots of dead samples which were rats, used needles. Adding to the problem, the table most of the equipment were on was  wood and it needed to be balanced because it could barely stand still.
The single light bulb flicking in  the room wasn't helping at all.

He cursed again.

He was on a deadline, two days left and he hasn't figured out the right compound to suppress the mixture needed to complete the serum. This is his one way ticket to being the man that change the world forever, and by every second that pass that opportunity was slipping away from his fingers. His hair was a mess also as well as the lab coat he was wearing, his mind was exhausted. He needed sleep now more than ever.
His wife who was also with him in her lab coat taps his right shoulder calling him to attention.

" You have to take a break, you can't force this" she said looking him in the eyes.

He sighs.

" I have too. I promised them ground breaking results that will change the human race forever Martha"

Martha points at the wooden table in front of them.

" Ground breaking? Look at this place, they didn't even provide us with good equipment and a lab. How are we suppose to change anything in this garage" she implies drawing away from him.

" We needed to this in private place remember without any spying eyes" he walks up to her cleaning the sweat off his face.
" If this works, our name will forever be mentioned as the scientists who brought change to save humanity. Forget the place, the time, the inconvenience, what matters is what comes out of all of this" he smiles caressing her dark Long black hair.

She looked into his eyes and she knew then that they have come a  long way, no time to give up now.

Harry's knock interrupt their moment.

" Hey Dad, Mom..uh I know you guys are busy... always busy but um.. you guys are coming to my soccer game tomorrow right, it's kind of important if you are there" he paused scratching the back of his hair with his heart pounding.
" You know, to cheer me on" he finally finishes hoping that his ear could pick up something positive this time.

His parents looked at each other nervously thinking how long they'll continue to avoid their son's school events.

Frank cut the silence.

" We are coming to your football program tomorrow" he said.

" Game" Martha whispered.

" Football game" he corrected.

The boy chuckles.

Finally! His parents showed concern about him. It was all he ever wanted.

" Thanks Dad, this means a lot.. I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow then." He replied and left jumping as high as he can in happiness.

NEXT DAY~ Harry's football game.

Harry dressed in his football jersey checked his phone again for the third time before he leaves the changing room to the game. The rest of his team had already left, but he waited to receive a text from his parents saying they were on their way.
Before he left this morning, they informed him they will be here early.

" Harry what are you waiting for, get your ass on the field now. The game is about to start" the coach yells from the door.

He turned. " Yeah sure am coming coach"

" Now Tresser, C'mon" coach called again.

Harry sighs before joining the coach and both left heading for the field.

Forty minutes during the match.

Harry searches the screaming crowd for his parents but he didn't see them.

Fifty five minutes during the match.

No parents.

Ninety minutes of the match

Harry's team won the match. They celebrated with the crowd going wild for them. He glanced around the audience.

No parents.

Later having changed out of his football jersey and into a regular clothes with the rest of his peers, he decided he wasn't going to hang out with his teammates tonight and decided to go home.
His emotions were not in the right state right now.

His parents screwed him again and he wasn't going to keep silent this time.

" Hey guys I changed my mind,i can't come my body doesn't agree with me right now. I'll see you guys tomorrow" Harry informed them running off.

The boys were a bit surprised but Shaked it off leaving as well.

              **********

Harry arrived home, fury written all over his face. He went to the back where his parents so called lab was, within him he hoped they were not there because he would really loose it.
But his expectations failed him badly.

Frank and Martha Tresser were gazing in glory at their success. Inside of a cylinder was the serum that would change the entire world.
They were still dressed in their clothes they were supposed to wear to their son's football ball game when an idea popped up in Frank's head about something they should try. They had to choose between the game and their lives work, it was quite obvious.

" DAD!!!" Harry yells out calling their attention.

They both turned surprised.

" Son you need to calm down and let me explain" Frank spoke.

" Explain what?! You bailed again! Just like always. Today was suppose to be a happy day for me to see you guys there. Do you know how many parents were there today to cheer for their kids? All of them!!" He shouted out.

His mum try to calm him down with her hands but he waves her off charging forward towards the cylinder grabbed it from the table.

" Son put that down now!! You have no idea what you are holding! Let's go inside and talk" Frank suggested walking up to him.

" Please Harry listen to your father, that thing is dangerous" Martha pleads.

Harry moves back looking at the cylinder for a while.

He shakes his head.

His mind was made up.

This thing cost him his family, his entire childhood, from one babysitter to the other. There was never a parent/ child time moment.

Never again.

This ends now.

" You care more about this than your own family, well you are going to watch it crumble right in front of you" Harry said before doing the unthinkable.

" Nooooo!!!!!"  Both his parents shouted but it was too late.

Harry smashed the cylinder on the floor and what happened next changed all their faith forever.....

Present time

Harry's eyes flashed open after mere seconds of being close. He had no idea why that memory manifested itself at this time of his life, but he knew he was about to face the consequences of what he just did minutes ago as both Paul and Tony walks into the office...
