Captain America: The First Avenger Page #5

Synopsis: It is 1942, America has entered World War II, and sickly but determined Steve Rogers is frustrated at being rejected yet again for military service. Everything changes when Dr. Erskine recruits him for the secret Project Rebirth. Proving his extraordinary courage, wits and conscience, Rogers undergoes the experiment and his weak body is suddenly enhanced into the maximum human potential. When Dr. Erskine is then immediately assassinated by an agent of Nazi Germany's secret HYDRA research department (headed by Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. the Red Skull), Rogers is left as a unique man who is initially misused as a propaganda mascot; however, when his comrades need him, Rogers goes on a successful adventure that truly makes him Captain America, and his war against Schmidt begins.

...KILLED IN ACTION.

PERIOD.

The last surveillance flight is back.

No sign of activity.

- Go get a cup of coffee, corporal.

- Yes, sir.

We can't touch Stark, he's rich.

And he's the army's number

one weapons contractor.

- You are neither one.

- With respect, sir.

I don't regret my actions.

And I don't think Captain Rogers did, either.

What makes you think I give

a damn about your opinions.

I took a chance with you, Agent Carter.

And now America's golden boy,

and a lot of other good men are dead.

'Cause you had a crush.

It wasn't that.

I had faith.

Well I hope that's a big comfort to you,

...when they shut this division down.

There they are, I can't believe it.

What the hell's going on out there?

Some of these men need medical attention.

Medic, I got wounded.

I'd like to surrender myself for disciplinary action.

That won't be necessary.

Yes, Sir.

Faith, huh?

You're late.

Couldn't call my ride.

Hey!

Let's hear it for, Captain America.

I am honored to present,

...this medal for valor.

To my personal friend.

Captain America.

Captain America?

Captain, that's your cue.

I thought he'd be taller.

They one here in Poland, and the Baltic.

and the sixth one was...

About...

...here. 30, 40 miles west of the maginal line.

I just got a quick look.

Well nobodys' perfect.

These are the weapon factories we about.

Sergeant Barnes said that Hydra

shipped all the parts to another facility,

...that isn't on this map.

Agent Carter co-ordinate with MI6.

I want every allied eyeball looking

for that main Hydra base.

What about us?

We are going to set a

fire under Johann Schmidt's ass.

What do say, Rogers?

It's your map. You think you

can wipe Hydra off of it?

Yes, Sir.

I'll need a team.

We're already putting together the best men.

With all due respect, Sir.

So am I.

So let's get this straight.

We barely got out of there alive,

and you want us to go back?

Pretty much.

Sounds rather, fun actually.

(Burp) I'm in.

(Speaking French)

We're in.

Hell, I'll always play.

But you gotta do one thing for me.

What's that?

Open a tab.

Well that was easy.

Another round.

Where are they putting all this stuff?

There is a tavern in the town..

- See, told you.

They are all idiots.

What about you?

You ready to follow Captain America

into the jowls of death?

Hell, no.

That little guy from Brooklyn.

I was too.

I don't like to run away from a fight.

I'm following him.

Hey, you keeping your outfit, right?

You know what?

It's kinda growing on me.

And remember that the best of

friends must part, must part

Adieu, adieu...

- Captain.

- Agent Carter.

Ma'am.

Howard has some equipment for you to try.

- Tomorrow morning.

- Sounds good.

I see your top squad is prepping for duty.

You don't like music?

I do, actually.

I might even, when this is all over,

...go dancing.

Then what are we waiting for?

The right partner.

Pay attention, Captain.

Yes, Ma'am.

I'll be there.

I'm invisible.

I'm turning into you.

It's a horrible dream.

Don't take it so hard.

Maybe she's got a friend.

Initial signature is unusual.

Alpha beta remain neutral.

No doubt Rogers picked up on that.

Seems harmless enough.

Hard to see what all the fuss is about.

Write that down.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for a Mr. Stark.

He's in with Colonel Phillips.

Oh, of course you're welcome to wait.

I uh,

Read about what you did.

Oh, that...yeah.

Well that's, you know...

Just doing what needed to be done.

Sounded like more than that.

You saved nearly 400 men.

Really, it's not a big deal.

Tell that to their wives.

Uh, I don't think they were all married.

You're a hero.

Well, that...you know.

Tha..that depends on the definition of...

And the Women of America.

They owe you their thanks.

And um, seeing as they're not here.

Captain!

We're ready for you.

If you're not otherwise occupied.

Agent Carter, wait.

Looks like finding a partner

wasn't that hard after all.

Hey, that's not what you thought it was.

I don't think anything, Captain.

Not one thing.

Always wanted to be a soldier, and now you are.

Just like all the rest.

Well what about you and Stark?

How do I know you two haven't been...

...fondueing.

You still don't know a

bloody thing about women.

Fondue's just cheese and bread, my friend.

Really?

- I didn't think...

- Or should you, pal.

The moment you think you know what's going on in...

a woman's head. Is the moment your

goose is well and truly cooked.

Me, I concentrate on work.

Which at the moment, is about making sure

you and your men do not get killed.

Carbon polymer.

Should withstand your average German bayonet.

Although, Hydra's not going to attack

you with a pocket knife.

I hear you're uh, kinda attached.

It's handier than you might think.

I took the liberty of coming up with some options.

This one's fun.

She's being fitted with electrical relays.

- That will allow you to..

- What about this one?

No, no that's just a prototype.

What's it made of?

Vibranium.

It's stronger than steel, and a third of the weight.

It's completely vibration absorbent.

How come it's not standard issue?

That's the rarest metal on Earth.

What you're holding there.

That's all we got.

Are you quite finished, Mr. Stark?

I'm sure the Captain has some unfinished business.

What do you think?

Yes, I think it works.

I had some ideas about the uniform.

Whatever you want, pal.

You are failing!

We are close to an offensive

that will shake the planet.

And we are continually delayed because,

...you cannot outwit a simpleton with a shield.

It's hardly my area of expertise.

I, I merely develop weapons.

I..I..I cannot fire them.

Finish your mission, Doctor.

Before the American finishes his.

Sir!

I'm sorry, Herr Schmidt.

We fought to the last man.

Evidently not.

Remember when I made you

ride the Cyclone on Coney Island?

Yeah, and I threw up.

This isn't pay back, is it?

Now why would I do that?

You were right, Doctor Zola is on the train.

Hydra dispatcher gave him permission

to open up the throttle.

Wherever he's going, they must need him bad.

Let's get going because

they're moving like the devil.

We only got about a ten second window.

You miss that, window.

We're bugs on a windshield.

Mind the gap.

Gotta get moving, buds.

Maintenant. (Now)

Now!

Stop him.

Fire again.

I had him on the ropes.

I know you did.

Get down!

Fire again.

Kill him, now.

Bucky!

Hang on.

Grab my hand.

No!

So.

What is this?

Steak.

What is in it?

Cow.

Doctor, do you realize,

...how difficult it is to get a hold,

...of a prime cut like that out here?

I don't eat meat.

- Why not?

- It disagrees with me.

How about Cyanide, does

that give you the rumbly tummy too?

Every Hydra agent that

we've tried to take alive,

..has crushed a little pill before we can stop them.

But not you.

So, here's my brilliant theory.

You want to live.

You're trying to intimidate me, Colonel.

I brought you dinner.
