Injecting Super Serum

After a few days, when both the brains of Hank and Phil got together in figuring out all the data, they were able to sort out many things. There was also a lot of useless data, as in, corrupt or fragmented and instead of wasting time on it, they simply discarded it.

After that, Hank took all the information regarding Quantum Tunnel and disappeared with it, Phil got busy upgrading Martha. From increasing computing power to cloning Martha to separating his private servers and official servers, a lot of work was needed. Cap and Bucky also recovered from their injuries and then Bucky went on a ride with Cap to revisit several old places he could remember.

There a was period of peace and silence in the base for two weeks. Phil finally gave all the details he compiled about Siberia base to Hope. This was their first attack. They were not going to wait for HYDRA to act now. They want to actively hunt and eliminate this group of snakes.

Phil handed the mission details over to Hope and told her to let Cap and Bucky lead of team of shadow knights to raid and destroy the base. He could take over the base but an enemy's base will never be safe or secret.

Phil then decided to work on his superpowers. The super serum. He tested it on his blood samples and the result was promising. He extracted a lot of vita rays from the shining Nitramene bombs he stole from the Howard inventory.

He had five vials and in the beginning, he experimented with the combination of serum + gamma rays to get a result that can help him to become like Hulk but the experiment was a failure. Gamma rays in low quantity did nothing more than destroying the serum and in high quantity, he was not sure if he could survive the experiment. Not everyone was blessed by lady luck like Bruce.

Finally, he set up his own experiment chamber in the factory. Around Christmas, he decided to inject the serum into himself.

------25, December 1991----

"OK, let's do this. Martha, check all the parameters and machines. Is power supply sufficient for the experiment?" he asked his only partner in the factory.

"Sir, the energy reactor that we created using Howard's model is more than sufficient for the experiment and all systems are in place," Martha replied after checking various small and big components in the machines.

This energy reactor they created was still a direct replica of one Howard has in his Stark factory. The bigger one. Finally getting himself together, Phil stepped into the 'metal coffin'. Yup, that was the best way to describe the designed machine.

" Can you hear me, Martha," Phil asked nervously.

"Yes Sir."

"Then let's start the experiment and go at a slow pace. Increase the serum dose and Vita rays power by small amounts and shut off the machine in case I give an emergency order," Phil instructed before the door of the metal coffin shut off. The device started injecting the serum into his veins and vita rays filled the chamber.

"Fuck, this is too painful," Phil shouted.

"Sir, your heartbeat is moving faster than normal and all your stats are fluctuating at an abnormal speed," Martha gave a warning.

"That's okay. Keep increasing the dose. Don't stop until my order, Martha!" Phil said clutching his teeth. This was painful but necessary if he ever want to step out of his physical limitations and achieve a superior body.

The whole experiment took more than 20 minutes, in between Phil was shouting and yelling but he didn't give up. His will still not die and he was not going to give up just before the finish line.

"Sir, this is the last stage, shall we proceed?" asked Martha for final confirmation.

"Yes, I can still hold on!" grunted Phil and then the final dose entered into his veins.

He felt like his whole body was being stretched and squashed like a rubber ball and there was a feeling of liquid fire flowing through his body.

"AAAAHHHH!!!!!" he cried painfully and the experiment chamber finally turned off the power.

The metal coffin finally opened the gate as per instructions and Phil fell directly on the floor. Just before hitting the ground, he managed to raise his hands and somehow balanced himself.

Getting up, he took deep breaths and then walked towards the full-length mirror he had placed earlier to check his new body. He looked taller and stronger. The hair colour is still black but the eyes changed from brown to blue. Martha scanned him properly and gave accurate measurements of his new physique.

"Sir your new physical stats are:-

Height: 6'4" ft.

Weight: 130 Kg

Chest: 50 Inches

Waist: 38 Inches

Biceps: 19 Inches

All in all sir, you have the potential to become the world's best basketball player," Martha replied.

"All this enhancement and you are thinking this is for basketball?! Martha let me check if your coding is still in place," Phil said amusedly.

"Well that was my attempt of a joke sir but your stats are in line with such sports," Martha said in her little girl voice.

"Let's check how much strength and speed this serum gave me. Martha start monitoring my stats during my training and do a comparison analysis from before. Also, how is the progress on the operations head task?" Phil asked while using the exercise machines inside the training room.

"Sir, I have gone through all major and minor agencies databases and compiled a list of such operatives and there are few that do match our criteria. One of them is currently in Shield. His name is 'Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury'. He was a US Colonel before his honourable discharge and had been managing operations in Soviet territory for the CIA. Since the operations in the soviets have been marked closed, he came back and joined Shield," Martha replied giving Phil a bigger surprise than he could have ever imagined.

This is Nick "fucking" Fury. The one main character that survives everything. The first one to meet the aliens in MCU and the friend of Capt. Marvel. According to the timeline, he must have met Carol Danvers recently and then would move up his ranks to be the director later. The idea of poaching Nicky Fury was too tempting and his story in MCU was a pathetic one.

Director of Shield where most of his agents and his boss work for HYDRA. He wants to start Avengers initiative but politicians stop him from doing anything. He was basically glorified till Shield fell apart like a deck of cards and then finally he had better screen presence.

"Martha keep an on eye on him and track all his locations. I think we found the best guy for our operations head," Phil instructed before punching strongly on the punching bag that broke off the chains and went on destroying few of the other machines.

"Ahem, Martha order new ones. And maybe order few more. I think we will need more of these spares."

"Yes Sir. Can I also recommend using a nick name like 'Destructo' or something based on your present skills?"

"Shut up Martha!"
