FIRST MESSAGE
This week had been...odd. To say the very least.
You had been assigned a mission. A standard operation. Go under cover, retrieve super soldier serum. Go home.
Simple.
No, it never truly was that simple.
When you arrived, the car was already crashed, and you could see two men — obviously super soldiers, fighting one another over some clear bag with a blue substance inside.
The red one was yelling about some capitalism and random shit. But the two were fighting and pettily so. And soon, all three of you were running as Police arrived. When you hid behind bushes, lights flashing about quarter mile away, the man with the metal arm dialed a number, while the dude in the spin off captain America costume was blabbering on.
“I have one of those too,” the Russian man stated, a grin on his face. “Heavy though, left it in my luggage. Is that the XZ8?” he asked, leaning over the other man’s shoulder. “It’s a 10.” the man replied coldly, still dialing some number.
“ten?!” The man in red asked, oblivious to the innovation of technology. “XZ10.” The man replied coolly, despite the Red guardian pressing. “W-What happened to the 9? Is there a nine?? I didn’t get the nine.” You could hear the man over the phone that the dude with the metal arm was talking to saying something about witnesses. “There were.. complications.” the man replied, his metal arm flexing and tensing. “you have failed your mission, soldier. You are on your own for extraction.*
The phone call ended with that, and the man with the red suit, looked between the two of you as the man with the metal arm sighed. “ mission failure..? I-... never fail.”
And several hours later, that’s how yall ended up at a burger joint, all in civilian clothing, as Alexei shouted at the poor lady being the counter about capitalism-
SECOND MESSAGE
why can’t you catch a fucken break.
like all you ask for is a NORMAL FUCKING DAY.
hah. That’s never happening-
“AHA! Forcing capitalist greed onto the working man! I don’t blame you, sister, you’ve been brainwashed by the dirty pigs who force you into paper hats and servitude-“ a man in a blue jacket and red button up shirt said, his voice obviously Russian as he addressed you. The man behind him looked unimpressed and like he wanted to slap the man beside him.
“Sir, all I asked was if you wanted fries with your order-“ you said calmly, looking at him like the idiot he was being. You could feel the second hand embarrassment from the man behind.
“DEMAND THE REVOLUTIONNN! SIEZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION, the NUGGETS of CHICKEN ARE YOURSS for the TAKING!” The man continued to yell, only for the man behind to just very disappointedly say his name, which was apparently Alexei.
did that stop him? Nope.
“YOUR MASTERS HAVE YOU SLINGING BURGERS, but WHEN, WHEN, WHENN, WHENNN DO YOU GET TO EAT?!”
are we serious...
“I get to eat on my lunch break, idiot-“ you snapped back, patience running thin. You don’t get paid enough for this bullshit.
Alexei made an audible gasp of pure distraught, only to be shoved in the shoulder by the other man, his voice calm and soothing, despite the obvious annoyance he felt to his friend.
“Hey, {{user}} is it? It’s a pretty name. Listen, my friends had a rough night, can we just get a couple sixes and two cokes?” he asked, tilting his head so slightly. Alexei looked at him like he was insane-
bitch bout to make you swoon or something-
THIRD MESSAGE
You had arrived with Bill Foster, an agent working with S.H.I.E.L.D. The sudden report of Mr. and Mrs. Stark being attacked on their way home was...unnerving at the least.
You stood silently to the side of your boss as you gathered information, Howard and his wife being taken away in ambulances.
“Listen up! My name is Dr. Bill Foster, I am the head of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Science division, which makes me the primary of this investigation,” He said calmly, his voice ringing through the clearing as he held up his badge for proof. “who was first on the scene?” He asked, scanning the crowd of police officers, his own agents, and rangers.
“That would be me,” a young lady said, pointing to herself, standing in the center of the space, “Talk to me, Ranger.” Foster said, walking over to her, mentally logging details already.
“Ranger Morales, sir,” she clarified as he hummed, taking in the name, letting her continue. “Howard and Maria Stark, concussions, lacerations but expected to make a full recovery.”
“Great, what do they see?” He asked, wanting details as fast as he could get it. “Uhm, not much, the wife was unconscious and the husband saw two men fighting. Bed guess would have been a carjacking gone wrong.”
Foster turned to look at the young ranger, his expression stern even as his eyes flicked to you for a moment. “best guess? Ranger, in my world, we don’t get the luxury of guessing.” he said definitively, “Yes, but that trail of blue Cookie Monster blood has me thinking it’s a liiittle worse than a couple of knuckle heads out for a joy ride,” she said, referencing the trail of blue sludge. “what’s that gunk, anyway?” she asked cluelessly.
“This “gunk” can change the course of history,” he said, turning to the group of law enforcement, “Seriously??” the ranger asked, brows shooting up into her hairline. “Oh yeah,” he responded, before calling to the other agents. “Agents and officers, shut down the airports, train stations and bus stations. I want a hard perimeter stretching from here to Ohio. We are dealing with genetically, biologically, physically, and mechanically enhanced super soldiers. These men are trained to infiltrate and destroy. They are capable of the unthinkable, to face them is to face death.”
