Captain America: The First Avenger Page #6

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.

Given the valuable information that he has provided,

And in exchange for his full co-operation.

Doctor Zola is being remanded to Switzerland.

I sent that message to Washington this morning.

Of course it was encoded.

You guys haven't broken

those codes, have you?

That would be awkward.

Schmidt will know this is a lie.

He's going to kill you anyway, Doc.

You're a liability.

You know more about Schmidt than anyone.

And...

And the last guy you cost us

was Captain Rogers closest friend.

So I wouldn't count on the very best of protection.

It's you,

...or Schmidt.

It's just the hand you've been dealt.

Schmidt believes he walks

in the footsteps of the gods.

Hmm.

Only the world itself will satisfy him.

You do realize that's nuts, don't you.

Of course.

The certainty of the plan is of no consequence.

- And why is that?

- Because he can do it.

What's his target?

He's darkened.

He's everywhere.

Tomorrow...

Hydra will stand master of the world.

Born to victory on the wings of the Valkyrie.

Our enemies weapons will be powerless against us.

If they shoot down one plane.

Hundreds more will rain fire upon them.

Where they cut off one hand.

Two more shall take it's place.

Heil Hydra.

Heil Hydra!

HEIL HYDRA!

Heil Hydra...Heil Hydra!

Heil Hydra,

Heil Hydra!

Heil Hydra.

Doctor Erskine said that,

...the serum wouldn't just affect my muscles.

It would affect my cells.

Create a protective system,

..of regeneration and healing.

Which means, um...

I can't get drunk.

Did you know?

Your metabolism burns four times

faster than the average person.

He thought it could be one of the side effects.

It wasn't your fault.

Did you make the report?

Yes.

Well, then you know that's not true.

You did everything you could.

Did you believe in your friend?

Did you respect him?

Then stop blaming yourself.

And that was the dignity of his choice.

He damn well must have

thought you were worth it.

I'm going after Schmidt.

I'm not going to stop 'til all

of Hydra is dead, or captured.

You won't be alone.

Johann Schmidt belongs in a bug house.

He thinks he's a god and he's willing to

blow up half the world to prove it.

Starting with the U.S.A.

Schmidt's working with powers

beyond our capabilities.

He gets across the Atlantic.

He'll wipe out the entire

eastern seaboard in an hour.

How much time we got?

According to my new best friend,

in twenty four hours.

Where is he now?

Hydra's last base is here.

In the Alps.

So what are we suppose to do?

It's not like we can just knock on the front door.

Why not?

That's exactly what we're going to do.

Arrogance may not be a uniquely American trait.

But I must say you do it better than anyone.

But, there are limits, to what

even you can do, Captain.

Or did Erskine tell you otherwise?

He told me you were insane.

Ah.

He resented my genius,

and tried to deny me what was rightfully mine.

But he gave you everything.

So.

What made you so special?

Nothing.

I'm just a kid from Brooklyn.

I can do this all day.

Oh of course you can, of course.

But unfortunately I am on a tight schedule.

So am I.

Rogers.

You might need this.

Thanks.

We're in, assault Team now!

Fire!

I'm hit, full force.

Let's go find ten more.

Cease fire.

You're late.

Weren't you about to...

Right.

Get in.

Keep it steady.

Wait!

Go get him.

I'm not kissing you.

You don't give up, do you?

Nope.

You could have the power of the gods.

Yet you wear a flag on your chest and think

you fight a battle of nations.

I have seen the future, Captain.

- There are no flags.

- Not my future.

What have you done?

No!

Come in this is, Captain Rogers.

Do you read me?

Captain Rogers, what is your...

Steve is that you, are you all right?

Great, Schmidt's dead.

What about the plane?

That's a little bit tougher to explain.

Give me your coordinates I'll

find you a safe landing site.

There's not going to be a safe landing.

I'm going to try and force it down.

I'll get Howard on the line, he'll know what to do.

There's not enough time.

This thing's moving to fast and

it's heading for New York.

I gotta put her in the water.

Please, don't do this.

We have time, we can work it out.

Right now I'm in the middle of nowhere.

If I wait any longer a lot

of people are going to die.

Peggy.

This is my choice.

Peggy.

I'm here.

I'm going to need a rain check on that dance.

All right.

A week next Saturday at the Stork Club.

You got it.

Eight Oclock, on the dot.

Don't you dare be late.

Understood?

You know I still don't know how to dance.

I'll show you how.

Just be there.

We'll have the band play something slow.

I'd hate to step on your....

Steve?

Steve.

Steve.

To the Captain.

Sir.

Take us to the next grid point.

But there's no trace of wreckage.

And the energy signal trace stops here.

Just keep looking.

There's a pitch, it's a ball high outside.

So, the dodges tied four to four.

At the count no doubt, one swing of his bat.

This fella is capable of making it

a brand new game again

Just an absolutely gorgeous day here at Ebbets field.

Philly's have managed to tie it up four to four.

But the Dodgers have three men on.

Pitch, it's a strike.

He leans in, here's the pitch,

swung on, it's a line drive.

It gets past Grissom.

Rizzo will score, Reiser heads to third.

Durocher is going to wave him in.

They look to relay but they hold steady.

- Pete Reiser with an inside the park...

- Good Morning.

Or should I say, afternoon.

Oh my god.

Where am I?

You're in a recovery room in New York city.

The Dodgers take the lead, it's eight to four

Oh ho, dodgers!

What a game we have here today, folks.

Fine game indeed.

Where am I really?

I'm afraid I don't understand.

The game.

It's from May, 1941

I know, 'cause I was there.

Now I'm going to ask you again.

Where am I?

- Captain Rogers

- Who are you?

Captain Rogers, wait.

All agents, code 13.

...13, all agents code 13.

At ease, soldier.

Look I'm sorry about that

little show back there, but.

We thought it best to break it to you slowly.

Break what?

You've been asleep, Cap.

For almost seventy years.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, just...

I had a date.
