Agent Sakuara

HELICARRIER BRIDGE

The doors part and they enter the bridge of the ship. A flurry of activity, dozens of agents sit in front of their viewscreens. Agent Hill shouts her instructions to leave before turning to Nick Fury, who is at the command chair.

"We're at lock, sir." Agent Hill informed.

"Good. Let's vanish." Nick Fury ordered.

The helicarrier rises high into the sky. Suddenly, the entire ship is covered in reflecting mirrors, which then camouflages the ship in the sky.

Natasha and the others walk through the glorious, gleaming bridge, taking in all there is.

"Gentlemen." Nick Fury greeted but was taken aback when he saw Yumhee and Stephan.

Steve walks to him and gives Nick Fury ten bucks, referring to their earlier bet about him being surprised again. Nick Fury walks over to Bruce and extends his hand. Bruce reluctantly shakes it.

"Doctor, thank you for coming." Nick Fury said.

"Thanks for asking nicely. So, uh... how long am I staying?" Bruce asked cautiously.

"Once we get our hands on the Tesseract, you're in the clear." Nick Fury answered.

"Where are you with that?" Bruce asked.

Nick Fury turns to Agent Coulson to explain, while Natasha eyes an image of Clint on a computer screen.

"We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet. Cellphones, laptops. If it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us." Agent Coulson explained.

"That's still not gonna find them in time." Natasha added.

"You have to narrow the field. How many spectrometers do you have access to?" Bruce asked seriously.

"How many are there?" Nick Fury asked him back instead.

"Call every lab you know, tell them to put the spectrometers on the roof and calibrate them for gamma rays. I'll rough out a tracking algorithm based on cl.u.s.ter recognition. At least we could rule out a few places." Bruce suggested. "Do you have somewhere for me to work?"

"Agent Romanoff, would you show Dr. Banner to his laboratory, please." Nick Fury ordered.

Natasha nods and walks off, leading Bruce down the hall. "You're gonna love it, Doc. We got all the toys."

Nick Fury faced Yumhee. "I'm sorry but I believe we haven't been introduced. Nick Fury. Director of SHIELD. I'm assuming Rogers has brought you up to speed about our current predicament."

"Yes, indeed. My son and I already knows everything about you Director Fury." Yumhee smiled at him. "I'm a former agent of SSR, Yumhee Sakura is my code name. This is my son, Stephan Rogers."

"SSR former agent?!" Nick Fury's eyes widen. He wasn't easily surprised but the things the woman in front of him has said made him think if there was really a former agent by the name of Yumhee Sakura. The most shocking news is that SSR has been shut down in the 1940s. He looked Yumhee up and down. 'She only looks about around her late 20s.' he thought. "And you said Rogers. How exactly are you related to Steve Rogers?"

Before Yumhee can answer, Steve walked to them and replied "Stephan is my son."

"Wait, what?!" Nick Fury was shocked. He never knew that 'Captain America' had a family.

Before the commotion gets bigger Yumhee asked Nick Fury "I'm sorry. I know you have a lot of questions right now but can I request that we move this conversation somewhere more private?"

"Of course. Follow me." Nick Fury immediately replied.

When they were settled, Nick Fury immediately asked "So...care to explain...from the beginning?"

"Like I said...I'm Yumhee Sakura, former SSR agent and adoptive daughter of Abraham Erskine." When Nick Fury was about to say something, Yumhee raised her right hand to stop him. "Let me finish before you ask questions." Nick Fury noded. "If you doubt me, you can check the archives. I'm sure Phillips or Peggy retained my information as an agent of SSR but beyond that, you wouldn't find anything else."

Yumhee looked at Steve to begin the explanation. Steve noded. "Yumhee was one of the people who searched for possible candidates for the Rebirth Project. She was actually the one who suggested me to Dr. Erskine. And that's also how we started dating." Steve smirked at Yumhee to which she only rolled her eyes but there was still the noticeable lift in her lips. "Obviously, I was the person chosen to undergo the procedure. But unfortunately, one of Schmidt's subordinates infiltrated the lab and tried to kill Dr. Erskine while stealing the remaining serum in the rack. Yumhee blocked the bullet and was critically injured. To save her, Dr. Erskine used the super soldier serum." Steve noded at Nick Fury. "Yes, she's the same as me. But after the procedure, some complications emerged. She lost her eyesight, her hearing in one of her ears and the ability to talk. Due to this, the mass production of the serum was stopped until Dr. Erskine can find and fix the problems."

After that, Yumhee continued the story. "While Steve was in Italy, Schmidt sent his people to abduct father and I. I was already about two months pregnant with Stephan by then. Dr. Zola experimented on me continuously for four months which means some of the experiments affected our son. One of which caused us to age ten times slower than the normal rate."

Nick Fury looked at Stephan. "Do you mean to say..." He started to ask but Stephan answered him before he can finish the question.

"Yes. I'm actually almost seventy years old now." Stephan said. "And mother is around ninety already." Stephan noded to his mother's direction. "Grandfather was never able to finish the super soldier serum because he was busy addressing a more urgent matter. So...we're here to help. Don't worry, mother and I are more than capable than all your agents here combined."

Nick Fury was still skeptical about their abilities especially with Stephan. Seeing this, Stephan slowly manipulated the temperature around them. His eyes started to change to light blue almost white, like the color of ice. The temperature in the room drastically became very low for a few seconds. Nick Fury widen his eyes in surprise, so was Steve. After that, he tore a piece of the chair he was sitting on and threw it an inch beside Nick Fury's head. It embedded itself on the wall behind Nick Fury. Then with a blink of an eye, Yumhee was already standing in front of him, startling him. Nick Fury and Steve were speechless. After their performance, Nick Fury finally decided to formally invite them to join the team.

UNDERGROUND LAB - VACUUM ROOM.

Dr. Selvig and several scientists work around the CMS device. Clint walks in, holding a tablet.

"Put it over there!" Dr. Selvig ordered one of his assistants before he faced Clint. " Where did you find all these people?"

"SHIELD has not shortage of enemies, Doctor." Clint simply replied. He holds up a screen showing information on iridium. "Is this the stuff you need?" He asked.

"Yeah, iridium. It's found in meteorites, it forms anti-protons. It's very hard to get hold of." Dr. Selvig informed.

"Especially if SHIELD knows you need it." Clint said.

"Well, I didn't know!" Dr. Selvig replied when he sees Loki. "Hey! The Tesseract is showing me so much. It's more than just knowledge, it's... truth."

"I know. What did it show you, Agent Barton?" Loki asked.

"My next target." Clint answered indifferently.

"Tell me what you need." Loki said.

"I'll need a distraction." Clint said seriously before grabbing his bow. "And an eyeball."

HELICARRIER BRIDGE. NIGHT.

As they are waiting to locate Loki using satellite facial recognition, Agent Coulson and Steve stand side by side, waiting.

"I mean, if it's not too much trouble." Agent Coulson said, holding in his excitement.

"No, no. It's fine." Steve said politely.

"It's a vintage set. It took me a couple of years to collect them all. Near mint, slight foxing around the edges, but..." Agent Coulson said proudly before they were interrupted.

"We got a hit. Sixty-seven percent match. Wait, cross match, seventy-nine percent." Agent Jasper Sitwell informed them.

"Location?" Agent Coulson asked.

"Stuttgart, Germany. 28, Konigstrasse. He's not exactly hiding." Agent Sitwell replied.

"Captain, you're up. Bring your family." Nick Fury ordered. Steve nods then leaves. Yumhee and Stephan following him.

STUTTGART MUSEUM

Inside the museum, there was a lavish gala with an orc.h.e.s.tra playing in the background. Dr. Heinrich Schafer walked to the mic, checking if it's on.

HELICARRIER - STEVE'S LOCKER

Steve walks into his own locker room as his family ready themselves as well. As he approaches the steel cabinet, the doors already reveal the updated Captain America uniform along with the famous shield. He stands there in silence.

STUTTGART MUSEUM

Outside the museum, German guards stand in their positions. One of them is standing on top of the roof, scoping. He hears a swooshing sound. When he looks down, one of the guards was shot with an arrow. He raises his gun but he was shot dead by another arrow. He falls down as Clint and his crew arrive at the doors of the locked science building.

Inside the museum, Loki walks in dressed in a 21st century attire, holding the scepter disguised as a cane. He looks from above the museum and descends down to where the doctor is. As he walks down near the stage, he flips his cane the other end. The guard there notices him, pulls out his gun, but Loki clubs his head in. The guests gasped.

Loki grabs the doctor and flips him over onto a marble table with the mythological creatures Bilchsteim on either side. Loki pulls out an optical device while he held the doctor down the table.

Loki then waits for Clint to attach the same device to the retinal scanner and activate it. When Loki sees the device started to glow more, he stabs it to Dr. Schafer's head while he twisted in pain and the people run away from the scene.

The device copies one of the doctor's eyes and reproduce it holographically on the device Clint was holding against the retinal scanner. The door unlocked after verifying the owner of the holographic eyeball. Clint walks in and finds in a cabinet, a glass thermos containing iridium.

Back at the museum, as the crowd runs away, Loki slowly walks out and materializes in his gold armor and helmet. The police arrives and with no hesitation, Loki blasts the cars, flipping them over.

"Kneel before me." Loki ordered.

The crowd ignores him but clones of Loki appear, blocking the crowd. They all grin as they raise their spears, encircling the crowd.

"I said. KNEEL!!!" Loki ordered again, forcefully. Everyone becomes quiet and kneels in front of him.

Loki spreads his arms out, smiling. "Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel."

As the words resonate to the kneeling crowd, an elder German man stands and said "Not to men like you."

Loki chuckled and replied "There are no men like me."

"There are always men like you." The elder German man countered.

"Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example." Loki was about to execute him with a blast from his scepter. But just as the energy beam shoots out, Steve in his Captain America suit arrives. He dives in just in time and blocks the blast with his shield, knocking down Loki by deflecting the blast towards him.

"You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing." Steve said as he straighten himself to stand.

Loki starts to stand. "The soldier. A man out of time." He mocked.

"I'm not the one who's out of time." Steve countered.

From above Steve, the quinjet arrives. A machine gun was pointed towards Loki. "Loki, drop the weapon and stand down." Natasha ordered.

But Loki sends a blast towards the quinjet immediately. Natasha maneuvers it just in time, giving Steve a chance to throw his shield at Loki but he didn't budge. The two men both begin to battle it out.

Loki flings Captain America to the ground but then he throws his shield to him. Loki swats it easily. Steve tried to land a hit but Loki knocked him down easily again.

Standing over him, Loki points the scepter's tip on his helmet and ordered "Kneel."

"Not today!" Steve defiantly replied. He flips and tried to knock Loki down with a kick on his c.h.e.s.t but Loki grabs him and throws him over.

Inside the quinjet, Natasha tries to find an opening. "The guy's all over the place."

Suddenly, Natasha hears the AC/DC's "Shoot to Thrill" song.

"Agent Romanoff, did you miss me?" Tony in his Iron Man suit asked before he overrides the quinjet's speakers.

Both Steve and Loki look up at the sky. Tony flies over in his Iron Man suit and blasts Loki to the ground. Tony touches down and pulls out every piece of weaponry the suit has while pointing them all to Loki.

"Make your move, Reindeer Games." Tony said arrogantly.

Loki puts up his hands and surrenders while his armor materializes away.

"Good move." Tony said as he hides his weapons.

"Mr. Stark." Steve greets him while catching his breath.

"Captain." Tony politely greets back.
