Chapter Twenty-Four: The Hot Commando

Start from the beginning
                                    

as they continue to ride down the elevator Steve notices the giant Helicarriers

Nick Fury: Yeah, I know. They're a little bit bigger than a .22.

as Fury shows Steve round, Raisa stays stuck in her place with her mouth open in shock.

Many people in the hall looked speechless at what was shown on the screen. "What are those?" A few people in the hall asked, a bit scared. Raisa, Steve, Nat, Bucky and Sam all looked at each other. "You'll see." Steve responded o the people in the hall.

Nick Fury: This is Project Insight. Three next generation Helicarriers synced to a network of targeting satellites.

Steve Rogers: Launched from the Lemurian Star.

Nick Fury: Once we get them in the air they never need to come down. Continuous suborbital flight courtesy of our new repulsor engines.

Raisa Novikov: Tony?

The two men turned to look at the girl, who was now walking towards them.

Nick Fury: Well, he had a few suggestions once he got an up close look at our old turbines. These new long range precision guns can eliminate a thousand hostiles a minute. The satellites can read a terrorist's DNA before he steps outside his spider hole. We gonna neutralize a lot of threats before they even happen.

Steve Rogers: I thought the punishment usually came after the crime.

Nick Fury: We can't afford to wait that long.

Steve Rogers: Who's "we"?

Nick Fury: After New York, I convinced the World Security Council we needed a quantum surge in threat analysis. For once we're way ahead of the curve.

Steve Rogers: By holding a gun at everyone on Earth and calling it protection.

Nick Fury: You know, I read those SSR files. Greatest generation? You guys did some nasty stuff.

Steve Rogers: Yeah, we compromised. Sometimes in ways that made us not sleep so well. But we did it so the people could be free. This isn't freedom, this is fear.

Nick Fury: SHIELD takes the world as it is, not as we'd like it to be. It's getting damn near past time for you to get with that program, Cap.

Steve Rogers: Don't hold your breath.

Steve turns and walks off

"Isn't he just trying to keep people safe?" Harry asked. Raisa looked over, Steve wanted to respond but Nat stopped him letting Raisa take the lead on answering her brother. "Yes, but he's going about it the wrong way." She smiled at him and he smiled back understanding the situation a bit better now.

Steve takes off on his motorcycle; in the Smithsonian Museum there is an exhibit dedicated to Captain America

The Smithsonian Narrator: A symbol to the nation. A hero to the world. The story of Captain America is one of honour, bravery and sacrifice.

Steve, keeping his face hidden under a baseball cap, walks over to the exhibition

Woman on PA: (faintly) Welcome to the Smithsonian. Visitor information booths are available on the second level.

Smithsonian Narrator: Denied enlistment due to poor health, Steven Rogers was chosen for a program unique in the annals of American warfare. One that would transform him into the world's first super soldier.

a boy recognizes him, Steve smiles puts his finger against his mouth to indicate for the boy to keep quiet and the boy nods, Steve then watches some old footage of himself
