I could do this all day
Since I was a child I have always wanted to help people, but having to live in such a family... Big as the Rogers family is, I have always been living in a bubble, I have always wanted to get out of it , but like I said, everyone just wanted to keep me in.
I never really fit in, I was always the one who spent recess alone at school, the only friend I really had was Jayce, from the Stark family, he was the only one I could talk to freely without fear of being judged . I met him at one of those boring parties but crowded with people who walk so well in those things, I guess it wasn't in me to wear that kind of clothing
I always asked myself what I wanted to do with my life when I grew up, I was never interested in being a Councilor like my mother. I always wanted to go out into the world, know what I didn't know, not stay my whole life in an elegant dress behind a desk
When I asked Jayce how he knew he wanted to go into science, he told me
"I knew that was my thing, and when I found out, I decided that I would use it to help others"
At that moment I didn't know what my thing was, but I did know what I was good at, shooting, when I was little I was always interested in knowing how to aim a gun, from the first time I tried it I have been pretty good at
It was at one of my tournaments when I was a teenager that I met the person who discovered what I wanted to do, Sheriff Erskine
"I am a americop, knowing how to use that weapon guarantees me being able to help people, I ask you young Rogers, why do you shoot?"
I didn't understand it at first, it took me a while but I managed to understand his question well, I decided from that moment that I wanted to be a enforcer, I wanted to use my weapon to protect people
When I thought about it, it seemed like the best idea in the world. Although unfortunately my parents... Well, they weren't amused
"A Americop? Is this some kind of joke Caitlyn?" says his mother, raising her eyebrow
"no, seriously, when I'm fresh I want to be a Americop, I want to help people"
"Ugh, well if you want to help people, you can follow in my footsteps and be the next member of the Rogers family on the council," she says, putting a hand on her shoulder. "It's a better way to help people, and you can be safer that way"
I knew that my mother loved me, in her own way, of course. But she just insisted on leaving me in the bubble I had been in for as long as I can remember, but that wasn't going to last much longer. The day my life started to change was the day some criminals from Zaun They robbed Jayce apartment and as if that wasn't enough, they blew up the building, nothing happened to me, but Jayce didn't come out unscathed
When they discovered that his research was aimed at using magic in some way, he was almost exiled, luckily, that wasn't the case, but even after the trial we couldn't continue seeing each other, since the most important thing for my family was the image
It was only days after Jayce and his new partner, Viktor, proved that their research was true, that was when my mother with her most impeccable smile turned to him and Li offered to refinance him, of course, first the image was what more important but now that he could make them more money he treats him well, as if she hadn't even given him his chance to prove that everything he said was true. Well, lrepocresiaie
It wasn't until after that that I found out that Sheriff Erskin had been murdered in Brooklyn, supposedly when they went to find the culprit of the explosion in Jayce's apartment, they were attacked by a gang, all of this I learned said the newly appointed sheriff Marcus, I already knew him before, and the truth is that he didn't inspire much confidence in me, even more so due to the fact that he was the only one who came out of there alive. Without any wound. Whether it was a lie or not, at that moment I decided definitively that I would become an Americop
When I turned 19 I enrolled in the Americop academy. Secretly, since I didn't want my parents to find out and pull strings so that everything would be easier for me. I lied to them saying that I was studying politics, but one way or another they ended up finding out and they didn't take it very well
Not at all
"What were you thinking about becoming an enforcer, caiitlyn?" her mother tells her
"I was thinking that I would do more good doing this than being behind a desk, mother. Besides, I'm already an adult, you can't force me to give up on my decision, I'm going to be an Americop" this woman gets up and goes to the room exit "whether you like it or not"
Obviously they didn't like it. But it didn't matter, and it didn't stop me from continuing to strive to keep moving forward. When everyone at the academy found out that I was the daughter of the Kiramman, they couldn't stop looking at me with confusion, obviously they were wondering what a girl like me was doing trying to be an Americop, when she was supposed to be at cocktail parties with elegant people and elegant clothes
As the days went by I began to improve in the tests they gave me, even those that no one had passed before. I thought I was just good, and that I was born to be a Americop. But in truth, I had inherited the super soldier serum from my grandfather Steve.
At first I couldn't believe it, as I wondered how I had inherited the serum but not my mother. Be that as it may, I quickly began to have more relevance, I was trained by several combat experts and from one moment to the next I was promoted to captain. I honestly believed that thanks to the serum they would send me to more important things. I mean, in one of my tests I was able to hold a car for a minute, which is not much compared to what my grandfather could carry but, that was enough in my opinion
One day when I was at the security headquarters, one of the agents arrived tied up and with a message from one of the mafia bosses in Brooklyn, he called himself Kingpin
His message was that those were his streets and now Brooklyn and Queens belonged to him, and that he did not want to see any Americops there again, because if not, he would kill the 30 captured Americops and put their heads on a stake on the bridge. Seeing that there was no other option, the Councilors and my mother agreed. But not me, I couldn't leave those guards there with it being damned
So I decided that I would not sit idly by
After a lot of begging, Jayce helped me infiltrate Brooklyn with one of the blimps wearing a enforcer uniform, what have you?
It was complicated, I had to enter a completely unknown new world, but I managed to enter the kingpin's lair, when I entered I went to look for the soldiers who were captured. I thought we had done it, but then kingpin and one of his goons showed up, his name was crossbones
But then a guy on a hoverboard appeared, he was dressed all in red, and his mask looked like the face of a spider, I didn't know him at all but the moment he started helping me against kingpin and crossbones I knew that he was my side
Although it seemed like he didn't mind killing people. He definitely didn't like me but it also seemed like we both had a common enemy, kingpin
It seemed like she had something personal against him, it seemed that way from the way she hit him
"okay, that's enough" Cait says stopping spider-man "it's over"
"no, he's still breathing" answers spider-man still wanting to hit him
"There is no need to kill him, I will make sure he pays for his crimes"
"Why would I believe you? You're just another Americop, just like the others" answers spider-man
"I... I don't know what you have against the americops, but I swear I'm not like the others, I will make sure that he goes to prison and never gets out of there" Cait states firmly
spider-man thinks about it for a moment and finally nods "okay, I hope so"
Moments later, Cait kicks a door and it falls apart. "What are we doing here?" asks cait
"It is the kingpin's office, here he keeps everything, his money, his files and what you will need to close him for life"
"and this," he says, showing him a diary, "here keeps a record of the last 5 years since... It doesn't matter, but there could be interesting things here"
After that, I knew it wouldn't be the last time I'd see him, and I was definitely going to need his help, one of these days. Although his help would have been useful at that moment, after he left
Cait reunites with the captured enforcers when one of them says "watch out!" Cait is pushed by a metal arm, she turns around her attacker and sees a woman with a metal arm and a purple glow
She... she is definitely one of the people I hate the most in the world, the winter soldier. Yes, that name was my idea
"excuse me, were you going somewhere? You and your friends?" asks the winter soldier
"Yes," she answers, getting up, "in fact, I was going straight to leave here for home."
The Winter Soldier laughs and replies "I'm sorry, but I can't let you do that, you guys don't laugh anywhere"
"no, they're going home" he says getting ready to fight "I'm staying". They both start fighting while the Americops leave. It was the hardest fight I have ever had in my life, and it was obvious that I was never going to win it. She was stronger and more experienced than me. I never had a chance to win
The winter soldier stabs her in the stomach and Cait falls to the floor
At least I thought it would be a good way to die, I would look like my grandfather, and although they were going to suffer, I knew my parents would be proud too, it seemed like a good ending
But my moment had not yet come, not by a long shot
Some better armed enforcers start shooting at the winter soldier, she releases Cait and leaves there
"You okey Rogers" Sheriff Marcus says offering her his hand, Cait takes it and answers.
"yes, or... The best you can be after being stabbed"
When I returned, my mother hugged me tightly with tears on her face, I had never seen this part of her, so worried and... Distressed
I was more used to that firm and cold look that she wore, I don't know... 24 hours a day, so it was strange to see something like that on her
It wasn't the strangest thing that happened when I came back. Suddenly, all the enforcers began to treat me better, even those who made fun of me before, also on the street, when they found out what I did, everyone on the street greeted me and called me a heroine, yes, it was... Very weird
It wasn't what I expected to happen, I just wanted to help my classmates, not for everyone to see me and think I'm a hero, it was really the last thing I expected to happen
When I was better, Marcus, the sheriff, offered me a position in the Americops, one a little higher than the one I had before. I rejected it, he was surprised, because what person would reject a position like that? I, I would. And that was because, in the kingpin's diary, the self-appointed daredevil gave me, I found, as he said, interesting things, even more so a part that said
"You may not think it's necessary, but with Silco controlling his sheriff, we can keep the guards here outside, so no one can interrupt us"
The date was last year, in April, and Marcus had already been sheriff for five years, I don't know who he was referring to by "Silco", but this guy definitely had Marcus in his pocket, he couldn't trust
I had to make all this come to light, but I would need proof, or no one would believe me, I was going to bring Marcus down, no matter what
Over time and with my own investigations, which usually ended with me fighting in the street, people (or rather the news) started calling me "captain america". It was probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. Even my mother almost choked on her tea because she laughed
In the end I ended up accepting the name. One day, Jayce gave me a gift, it was a spandex suit with a star very similar to that of a vigilante, and a vibranium shield, he said he used it after Wakanda had given it to New York as a gift of peace
And it was... Pretty cool, really. It was useful, but it was also useful to have one or two allies
"We are not that different, spider-man" Cait says to daredevil with his back turned "we can work together and put an end to this, it affects us all, we have to work together, if we want this to work"
spider-man remains silent and says "if you need help with Silco or... Hehehe, the... Hahaha winter soldier... Hahaha, what a stupid name" he says laughing and then leaving there
And she definitely wasn't the only problem, no, it was just a very small one. The real problem was... The green goblin. She was a crazy woman with a mask, a minigun, and many bombs, and she was on a board similar to the firelights that spider-man was leading. I thought it was one of them, but spider-man clarified that he stole it after killing one of his own
She was... She was a pain in the ass, her laugh was the worst, I was close to catching her, many times, but... She was like a cockroach, I always survived somehow
I discovered that I worked for Silco on progress day, I had tracked down some suspicious shipments that had led me to an airship, and there was the winter soldier along with other mutants, everything was going well, until daredevil and his firelights attacked p>
I had no choice but to join the fray, then everything got out of control, and it ended in a fight of all against all, in the end, the entire airship ended up in flames, I had to let the green goblin and the winter soldier go. winter because the airship was about to fall
In the end all my evidence ended up in the sea, well, not all, since one of Silco's henchmen had been attacked by the green goblin, I could not interrogate him since Marcus arrived assuring me that he would take care of it <(p>;
But not everything was bad, since he had gotten a small sample of that strange purple glow, he had heard that spider-man called it "shimmer" according to Jayce, it was a substance that empowered people and made them stronger than they thought was before
I knew it wasn't enough, I needed more, so I decided to go to riker, the prison where Marcus sent the man from Silco, if I could interrogate him and get him to talk, I could get what I was looking for
That was interrupted when a fire appeared on the day of progress, I decided to go help, but it was all a nafie trap rather than the green goblin, she blew up the building but I managed to get out of there intact
It was only later that I found out that it was all a distraction to steal an arctech gem, which was the newest thing Jayce and Viktor were working on
It was then that I had enough, I was going to go to Riker and interrogate my suspect, so I could find the winter soldier, Silco, put an end to Marcus' lies and finally be able to turn off the green goblin's laughter, because seriously
I hate that woman
To be continued...
