Chapter 24

After our conversation, Sarah said that she would still stay with me, because she loves me, and the child can wait, because now the three of us are conditionally immortal and my mutation will be completed someday, but still. She's a good girl — even after she found out that I killed, she didn't turn away. No, she had suspicions about the gang in which Jacob was a member, but she believed that I myself was not personally involved in it. In general, our relationship has only become stronger and has not changed a bit.

In the forty-third year, Steve again tried to enlist in the army, but this time he was given a lapel-turn. In general, when the United States just entered the war, Bucky also decided to go to war with my adopted son, who was just immediately accepted. After that, the blonde does not leave his goal and tries to pass a medical examination.

I decided to talk to Stephen after all, because you can't always do something and if it doesn't work out, then try again. No, here it will become clear to a fool that something needs to be changed in this scheme. And this one is stubbornly trying to break through the concrete wall with his head. Just after he left the military enlistment office, I decided to approach him.

But when I saw what kind of mood he was in now, I had to change my plans a little and follow him a little. Yeah, the guy has such a face now that it's immediately clear that he wants to be alone. And my words will only make him even more depressed. Steve walked around the city for a while, and then suddenly went to the cinema. I followed him.

As soon as the session began, it became clear to me why the blonde wanted to come here. The film was about how the military and civilians can help in the war, and also told about the rise of Nazi Germany and the efforts of the United States and its allies in military operations against them. This is what the announcer began to tell us before the beginning of the movie itself. It seems that the guy almost gave up and was already thinking about how he could help by staying at home.

Well, it's also not bad — you will need to help him with this somehow. I don't think Sarah will mind either. But my thoughts were interrupted by some guy who began to say to the whole hall that he did not want to listen to these nonsense, and to quickly turn on the film itself. Steve, of course, could not stand it and asked him to be patient.

But this guy did not calm down — he just sent the blonde far away and was not even going to somehow turn down the volume of his voice. The son already rudely asked him to shut up. In response, this inadequate took Stephen by the collar and led him out into the street. There he immediately hit him in the stomach. The guy fell to the ground and twisted, but the bully did not stop there and wanted to kick him. Only Steve managed to grab the lid from the tank and protect himself with it.

- what? Is that all? I can stand like this all day — " this stubborn ram grinned.

No, really? If you can't win fairly, then use the environment or some tricks. But the lid is not the best solution, since his opponent surpasses him in weight and height, which means that he can easily pull it out. It would have been better for the blonde to take that pipe or a piece of glass — it would have caused at least some damage.

*Bam*

That's what I was saying, the bandit just grabbed the edges and pulled on himself, taking away the guy's protection. Oh, okay, my way out. I was now on the roof of the building, where I managed to climb so as not to miss the moment when it would be possible to intervene. But just as I was about to jump down to help my son, another actor appeared in this alley.

- Find your equal! — and with one precise blow, he knocked the inadequate to the ground, which greatly frightened him and forced him to escape.

"I could have handled it myself, Bucky," Stephen said, accepting the helping hand and standing up, " I had everything under control and soon I would have been able to handle it myself.

"I didn't think so," Barnes chuckled, and it was him. Only in a military uniform — Why didn't you run away?

— Everything was like that, — the blond man replied and awkwardly turned his head to the side, — Especially since if you run away once, you will run constantly, - Steve said, - By the way, what are you doing here?

— Yes, I came to the distribution, — he reached into his bag, — Look,-taking out something from there, Bucky showed it to Steve.

— What is it? - the guy was surprised.

"I'm going to England tomorrow as part of the one hundred and seventh Infantry Regiment," my namesake explained.

Is this a coincidence? Or did he purposefully sign up there? I have some questions about this. Although this may be due to the fact that the regiment itself was famous, since during the war, back in the seventeenth year, it became famous for its victories. But most likely it's because of Steve, because Sarah told him that his biological father died fighting in the one hundred and seventh, and he decided to join there too.

- I'm glad for you — - the blonde smiled sadly — - It's a pity that I won't be able to fly with you…

- Let's not be sad and spend this night with a holiday, - Barnes smiled, - Let's go to the Stark Expo exhibition today and relax. Well, do you agree?

- Come on, - the guy agreed.

Then I considered it unnecessary to be here, especially since I received a message from Dr. Erskine that they had almost everything ready and only needed a test subject, so I decided to leave this location. Yes, we have finally completed the development of the super soldier serum. Yesterday we were just able to finalize and test the generator that we created together with Stark.

I remember that in the film, Abraham himself found the first person who was later able to inoculate the serum, creating Captain America. Because of this, I decided to rely on him this time too. The doctor is a visionary person and thanks to the years he has lived, he can learn a person's character in just one conversation.

I just don't like that Chester Phillips is still looking for people who are physically strong, not realizing that the serum will still bring all the indicators to the maximum, so people should be looking for loyal and with a core. Because of him, our experiment moved a little, because he decided to send all the selected subjects to a military camp, where he wants to conduct a series of physical tests.

No, the last word is still for Abraham and me, because we are the ones overseeing this project. But the time will be wasted. All right, we just have to wait until Erskine finds a suitable candidate. And it is better that I will also be near him at this moment. I trust him, but it's worth checking for yourself anyway.

A few hours later, he and I were at one of the recruiting stations, where Abraham was walking as if by chance, but I understood that the man was looking for suitable people in this way. We have already bypassed three such points and this was the fourth. During this time, he has not yet chosen a single person.

But then we heard a remarkable conversation with him and the voices seemed familiar to me.
