Let's Get Going
6/22/1943, Camp Lehigh, Wheaton
Maximus had been looking over everything that was there and then looked to see that Abraham was there and smiling, “It was good working with you, Prince Boltagon.” he had said towards him, making the Inhuman smile at that, “And it was good to work with you, Doctor Erskine.” he had said as well, making the older man smile at that before he had went and picked up a box now.
“I was wondering… if you would be so kind as to get this to my daughter?” he had asked, making Maximus curious as he had opened up to reveal that there was a Teddy Bear inside who had a large red bow on it which had made Maximus smile at that before he had looked, “She wanted an actual Teddy Bear, and The President had been so kind as to finally send me this.” he had told him.
That had made The Prince, curious on that as he had lifted it up before scanning Abraham, seeing everything there until he saw the address, “Got it,” he had said towards him with a smile, “I’ll make sure she knows that her father love her.” Maximus had said, making Abraham smile at that, “You are a good man, Maximus.” he had said, making Maximus pause at that.
He had looked towards the Scientist in confusion, “I’m… a good man?” he had asked, making the man nod, “Yes, you have a few… flaws, but you are a good man.” he had said, making the Prince a bit surprised at that before he had moved, almost stumbling, making him and the other chuckle at that before they had went and split, curious on when they would see each other again.

Maximus had walked in and as he had done so, The Telepath had done a quick sweep, looking around before he had noticed that there was the people that he was supposed to see, “Esme!” he had shouted out, making the group inside a bit confused and worried as she had went and come out with a soldier and her mother looking towards him, weapon at the ready.
“Mister Maximus!” She had shouted, running towards him with a smile while Maximus had went and looked towards her before he had offered a box, “From your father.” he had said towards her, making Esme smile as she had went and taken it, pulling the bear out and as she did so, Maximus had noticed that there was a writing hidden in the ribbon, a formula it seemed.
Seeing that, he had knelt down and smiled towards her, “Now, Miss Erskine.” he had said towards her in a conspiratorial whisper, which had made the girl lean in with a smile, “You make sure that your Mister Bear is protected so that nobody ever tries to steal him, after all, he’s a present from your poppa.” he had said, making Esme nod at that quickly, “Yes! Me and Maxxie will be so close!” she told him.
That had made him chuckle, “Maxxie?” he had asked of the girl who had nodded as she shoved the bear into his face, “Cause you gave him, and I want a Bear named Maxxie!” she had said, making him look closely at the ribbon as she did so, memorizing everything before he had smiled, “Then Maxxie he is.” Maximus had said towards her before he got up and looked towards The Soldier.
“Sir.” he said with a smile and salute before looking towards Esme, “Is there anything that you want me to tell your Poppa?” he had asked of her, making Esme smile as she had went to hug him, “Tell Poppa I miss him, and I want him in our new home.” she had said, making the pair smile at that before they had went and Maximus had nodded, going and preparing for whatever he would see.

Joseph had been flying with the others, he had been flying with them and as Doctor Spectrum had watched, he had seen that there were other planes from the Germans, they had went to counteract them so he had went to power up a shield, blocking the first few attacks before he had seen that there was something that had went and launched towards him.
It was a Blonde Man who had a smile on which had made the scars seem more monstrous, “Hallo, Feind! Was für ein schöner Tag zum Sterben, nicht wahr?(Hello there, enemy! What a beautiful day for death, no?)” he had asked, pushing him forward and making the shield drop as he focused on protection, “Warum machst du das dann nicht!(Then why don't you go do that!)” he asked.
Spectrum had went and given a full blast towards his face, burning his flesh and making the soldier look before he had noticed that there was some sort of brand on him, making Joe curious as he had noticed that it had almost looked like that tuning fork that Triton did when he was homesick, “What are–?” “Phaeder wird jemanden wie dich für seine Experimente wollen!(Phaeder will want someone like you for his experiments!)”
Hearing that, Joseph had drawn a energy blade to stab at it, as he had done so, the being had taken it, appearing to be unaffected as he laughed, at least until he had started to sink from flight which had made the being look towards him with some confusion before he had touched the blade, “Ow…” he said before falling now which had made the hero look around at that.
He had noticed that there was something which had made him surprised as he had seen that there was a few more there, so reacting, he had went and thought before he had lifted the diamond up and though to shoot out from each as it had went and hit each of them in the head and made them start to fall which had made the man take a breath before he had flown forward.
Joseph had went and flown further in and as he had went and started to pull out a field as he had went and started to go and fire out everything, The Invader had went and started to send out a shockwave, those that had been able to avoid it had gotten hit by the allies, taking a breath at that before he had went and started to get to work on helping them out however he could.

Joseph had went and landed and as he had done so, Joseph had seen that Zarda and she had looked mixed in her expressions which had made the man confused at that, “What’s wrong?” he had asked, repairing the damage that his suit had made as Zarda spoke, “Maximus is coming back.” she had said towards him, making Joseph grin at that, at least until he had seen her face.
“Is that good…?” he had asked of her, making Zarda shake her head, “Dr. Erskine had completed Project Rebirth, on ONE person.” Zarda told him, “He had died and now… now Maximus needs to tell his family.” The Utopian had told him, making Joseph take a breath at that, thinking on how hard that must be, “Hopefully he’ll come back fine.” he said, but Zarda wasn’t so sure about that.

6/23/1943, Hydra Island, Pacific Ocean
Phaeder had been looking around at everything before he had seen that there was a report about the men that he had sent there, sighing, Phaeder had went and looked at who remained before going and deciding that he would need to eliminate the project, the subjects would be useful, but he’s going to have to think on something else, “Ihr Name ist Phaeder, richtig?(Your name is Phaeder, correct?)”
That had made the scientist turn and see that there was Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker which had made the Inhuman stand up fast, “Hail Hydra!” he had said, making the Baron chuckle at that, “Relax, Johann took the fanatics.” he had said, making Phaeder give a sigh of relief as he had went and looked at him, “I take it that we’re practicing our English?” he had asked.
That had made the man sigh at that, looking at the gauntlet that he had been equipped with, “Yes, and it seems that your project is a failure… how would you show that you are still useful?” the Baron had asked, making Phaeder sigh at that as he had looked at the little cage where he had kept a fragment of Alveus for communication, drawing his eyes to the creature.
“What is that?” he had asked, making Phaeder sigh at that, “It is a piece of an ancient beast that is powerful… so powerful that it had been split into three canopic jars, only this fragment remains after almost two thousand years.” he had said, making the man all the more curious at that as he had looked at it, “Does the creature have a name?” he had asked of Phaeder.
He had outstretched a metal finger to nuzzle it, making the worm go and stroke it, “The ancient name is Alveus, but it would translate into Hive.” he had said, making the man nod at that, “Very good, I’d like to learn to learn more about a creature as dangerous as this.” he had said and hearing that, the Scientist had went and nodded at that, happy to tell him everything he knew.

6/24/1943, Big Ben, London
Maximus had went and walked off the plane, looking around at everything before taking a deep breath as he had went and walked off, remembering what Esme had looked like as he had told her, remembering when he had went and seen the grave and then how Steve had been sent to the USO, it had made him take a deep breath at that before seeing that Triton was there.
Taking a breath, Maximus had taken a pair of pills and popped them, smiling as he had went and headed towards him, “TRITON!” He had said with a grin which had made the Prince pause at that before he had went and embraced him, “Maximus, good to see you again.” he had said with a grin, making the others all look at each other before he spoke, “How are you?” he had asked with confusion.
That had made Maximus sigh at that before he had went and pulled out a blade picture that Esme had given him, “Abraham is…” he had started to say before seeing that there was a man, Howard Stark, who had been looking at him with a bit of confusion before he had smiled towards him, “Hello there, have we met before?” Maximus had asked in confusion.
“Sorry, no.” he had said before offering his hand, “My name’s Howard Stark–” “Of course! The Expo.” he had said, making the man seem relieved at that before he had turned to leave, as he had done so, Maximus had went and did a quick scan and had found something, “Isaac Newton?” he had muttered in confusion at that before seen that there was an organization that he was working with.
“Do you know about a Brotherhood of The Shield?” Maximus had whispered towards Triton who had shaken his head, “No, what is that?” he had asked, making Maximus a bit worried, “I think they are… sponsoring The SSR,” he had said, “We might need to be careful.” he had explained, which had made Triton think on that before they had seen that John Falsworth was approaching them.
“Maximus! Great to see you back!” he had said, making the Inhuman smile towards him before the man had given a high pitched whistle which had made the pair look before realizing that there was Jacqueline who had seemed to be smiling, “Max! You’re back.” she had said towards him which was when the man had seen that there was a nurse uniform that she was wearing now.
“Are you heading somewhere?” Maximus had asked of him, making the young Falsworth smile at that as she had went and showed her papers, “I’m heading to Italy to work with The 107th and The Devil’s for medical aid in the rear.” she had said towards him, making Maximus a bit surprised at that as he had went and read the paper, “Huh,” he had said before looking towards John now.
“So then, what’s our new mission?” he had asked, making John sigh, “You’re working in The Cabinet War Rooms.” he had explained, making the man nod at that, “Fair enough, don’t want another Abraham.” he had said towards the group which had made the group nod at that, “We’ll see you August!” Jacqueline had told them with a smile as Max decided to go and find his friends.

6/24/1943, Devil’s Brigade Camp, London
Maximus had found his friend’s usual spot, as he had looked at the group laughing as they had went and sparred with each other with some fury and determination as they had been training, looking excited right about now as they had went and started to throw some fists, at least until they had noticed that Maximus and Triton were there, “Max!” Victor said as Joseph punched him in the jaw.
He had laughed at that as The Mutant had went and looked around at everything as The Man had went and gotten up with a grin before a new man looked at him with some annoyance, “Who the Hell are you?” he had questioned, making Maximus grinned, “I’m with The Invaders, I was stationed in The States.” he had said, making the man go and approach him now.
“Sergeant Nicholas Fury of The 107th.” he had said, making him smile at that as he had taken it, “Max.” He had said before the kids had went and approached him, “Hey, you wanna spar?” Gwenny Lou had asked, making the Inhuman sigh with a smile at that before he had started to shed his coat, “Fine, but I’m fighting him.” he had said, making the others like the sound of that right now.

6/24/1943, Amakitsu Residence, Oahu
Auran had went and done some training movements that she had learned from Karnak, they had helped her as she had done it in her natural form, taking a breath, Auran had smiled, taking a deep breath before the Inhuman had felt that Sterilon had entered her mind, “Auran.” He had said, making her pause at that, “Sterilon.” Auran had said towards him right now.
“You have a new assignment,” He had told her before revealing that there was an image of Phaeder inside of her mind now which had surprised, “Phaeder is still alive?” Auran asked in confusion at that, “It appears that John Howlett had helped him escape, and now he is assisting The group known as Hydra.” He had explained, making the Inhuman sigh at that, “I understand, Sterilon.” She had said.
That had left a pleasant feeling for her as she had went and started to ready everything, at least until she had thought of something, “If you don’t mind, could you tell Maximus I’m doing fine?” She had asked, making the Telepath chuckle at that, “I’d be happy to.” He had told her, making Auran sigh at that before she had went and prepared to go and get started on assassinating one of their former citizens.

6/28/1943, USS Guadacanal, Gona
Auran had looked at the people that were there and as she had looked at things through the binoculars before Auran had looked, “Alright, if you’d be so kind as to drop me off near one of the islands, I’ll get me passage somewhere else.” she had said towards the soldier that she had blackmailed, making him glare at that, “I hate you.” he told the woman dressed as an American Intelligence Officer.
“And I don’t care.” she had said, making sure that her hair was in the cap as Auran had looked into the water, “Just get me out there and I will never trouble you again.” she had said and he wa happy to comply with that as the Navy Man had went to go and get her down so that she could get started, “Why does a Nurse even need to sneak onto the lines?” he had questioned of her.
“Oh, I’d be happy to tell you EVERYTHING,” Auran said, “That way all of my plans can be revealed.” Auran had snarked, making the man glare at that before he had glared, looking like he was ready to shoot her, but Auran made sure that her way in was secure as the two of them had went and started to move now, making the woman smile as she had went and looked at everything.

6/28/1943, Gona, Oro Province
Auran had looked around, everything was fine as she had checked her back and seen that there was the weaponry that was there, a copy of Triton’s apparatus designed for underwater diving, and nothing else that could point them towards Attilan as Auran had decided to go ahead and move forwards right now, the moment that she did so, someone had approached her now.
They had seemed scared, panicking at the sight of her as Auran had went and started to shift now, becoming her more beast like form and as she had done so, the uniform had been torn to reveal her Inhuman outfit, making the person there start to scream out in panic before he had went and started to run, making her a bit annoyed, but instead she had started her run.

7/9/1943, Ponte Grande, Syracus
Jacqueline and John had walked out and as they had done so, the Nurse had seen that John had seemed… happy for some reason as they had walked out, “Are you alright, Uncle?” she had asked of John who had smiled, “Yes, I just… I just feel good right about now!” he had said with a grin before the two of them had seen that there was something… curious right there.
He had pulled out his flask and took a deep swig, seeming more refreshed and alert as he had looked towards Jacqueline, “I better go connect to my fellow officers.” he had said, making Jacqueline nod at that, about to head out to speak to the other nurses when she had recalled something, “Uncle John…” she had said, making him pause and turn towards her with a bit of curiosity at that.
“I wanted to ask you about the men that you were talking to… Romulus and Pluto.” she had said, making him pause at that, “Of course, I’d be happy to tell you everything.” he had told her with a bright smile which had made the woman a bit relieved, “We can talk as soon as I’m done with this.” he had told her, making Jacqueline nod at that before walking off.
As The Falsworth had went and headed towards the rest of the nurses when a man had accidentally bumped into her, “Oh! Sorry, ma’am.” he had said to her, smiling which had made her return the gesture, “No harm done.” she had said before offering her hand to him, “Jacqueline Falsworth.” the woman said, “James Buchanan Barnes, but everyone calls me Bucky.” he had said as they had officially met.

10/24/1943, Azzano, Italy
Jacqueline had been quite upset with her Uncle, it had seemed that he was avoiding her, as if everytime that she had gotten close, he had seemed to vanish or she was reassigned, making her appear in Azzano right about now as the nurse had looked around before she had seen that Bucky was there and he had waved toward her, “Jackie! Great to see you!” Bucky had said to her.
Jackie had smiled at that, going and approaching him, at least until he had noticed that there was whistling, making her confused at that before he had noticed that there was explosion which had made her scared at the moment before the soldiers had started to move in a panic, “MOVE!” Bucky had told her, making the Nurse nod at that, going to leave and as she had done so, Bucky ran forward.
The Nurse had ran as fast as she possibly could before the woman had went and seen that the nurses that were there, at least until she had noticed that there was someone eating the others, making her panic, Jacqueline had turned to run, until she saw a pale woman with white hair in red glaring at her, “This is the one you want alive, John?” she had asked of him, making the Falsworth surprised.
The woman had turned and the man who was dressed as Baron Blood removed the mask and sighed, “Yes, she’ll make a good test subject for some of the new experiments.” he had said, making her panic, “Uncle John–?” she had started before the woman had used a nerve pinch, making her fade to the black, her last sight being the scavengers there eating her people while her friends were slaughtered.
