York<br/>  <strong>Tags:</strong>         Viper<br/><br/>It was war.  The Nazis had made incredible advancements and most of those through their organization called Hydra.  The Allies were coming close to victory, but that victory would mean shutting down Hydras base in Norway.  Baron Helmut Zemo had built the next generation of V weapons, a remotely piloted jet aircraft with an experimental explosive payload, and he had aimed it at Washington D.C..  Only part of this was known by the OSS, and to thwart Zemo and Hydra, the Allies sent their best, Captain America with his partner Bucky as well as the Howling Commandos led by Sergeant Nicholas Fury.  <br/><br/>The DC-3 rumbled along through the Axis controlled airways, Fury and his team made final preparations, Cap sat quietly through their banter and battlefield humor.  Bucky checked his Thompson, and looked worried at his mentor.  He had never seen the super soldier so quiet and pre-occupied before a mission.  He didn't get the chance to ask before the red light started blinking.  <br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="bbc_u"></span></span></span></span><div align="center">5 hours

cut a swathe through their best troops, and now they faced Zemo himself.  Bucky dashed through the remaining Hydra goons, smashing them in the face with the stock of his weapon, lashing out with a kick or a punch.  Cap threw his shield in a wide arc, riccocheting the disc from a column so that it bounced between multiple targets, crushing bone as it went, finally lodging itself in a stone stair.<em> "You vill never shtop us Kapitan!  Ze Third Reich Shall Go on for A Thousand Years!!"</em>Bucky aimed his thompson and pulled the trigger, only to hear the metallic click of the firing pin striking an empty chamber.  The young man gritted his teeth and dashed forward, Zemo flung a barrage of capsules, two of which managed to catch Bucky, they burst, sticking Bucky to the ground with Zemos adhesive X.  The Baron drew his pistol and fired at Captain America, the weapon spat forth a beam of red light, searing through Caps uniform on the left side as he tossed himself to the side.  Zemos shot had driven him from his shield, but done no further damage.<br/><br/><strong>"You can't win Zemo.  Your anti-aircraft weapons are down and if we don't report back on schedule this whole place will be bombed into gravel!"</strong>Cap stood tall, his uniform still smoldering,<strong>"Surrender now and I will see that you have the chance to stand trial for your crimes."</strong>Zemo laughed through his mask.<em>"You have no room to make such demands Kapitan!  My Veapon is already set to launch, und zere is no vay you can shtop it!!"</em>With that Zemo fired one more shot at the super soldier, forcing Cap to dodge again, and allowing the villain to escape.<strong>"Blasted Nazi..."</strong>Cap ran to Bucky and tried to free his partner, Bucky warned him off,<strong>"Cap, don't worry about me Cap, go stop that weapon!  I'll get loose when the Howlers get here."</strong>Cap nodded and clasped the young man on his shoulder,<strong>"Jim...I'll see you on the other side soldier."</strong>Bucky gave a cocky grin,<strong>"You know me Cap." </strong>Bucky gave a thumbsup as Cap ran off to grab his shield and chase Zemo.<br/><br/>The passage behind the giant Hydra banner was not hard to find, and Cap was on Zemos heels in no time.  Still, the villain reached the door before Cap could get there and all the super soldier could do was listen as Zemo ranted over the intercom.<em>"You are very persistent Kapitan, very determined.  You have alvays impressed me, und I vill miss your constant interferences in my activities.  Shtill, all good things mahst come to an end."</em>The building shuddered as the throaty roar of a rocket engine shook dust loose.<em> "Vhat you hear is my new Veapon launching ahead of schedule.  You can try to catch my transport, or..." </em>The Barons maniacal laughter echoed through the halls as Cap turned and ran in the direction of the increasing vibrations.<br/><br/>The rest was a blur for Cap.  He remembered running, biting cold and the weapon rising from its tube on its launch rocket.  Pain as he landed on the hard, metal surface and slammed his shield into its skin to hold himself there.  More pain as he ripped open the weapons hide to get at its internal components.  He pulled his last grenade, removing the pin, and then he was falling, and on fire, then he was cold and wet, and then nothing.<br/><br/>he was cold again, and light seared through his eyelids as he tried to open them.  He lay still, taking physical inventory.  He was okay, just cold, but even that was fading, and he wasn't alone.  He was unrestrained, but he didn't feel as though he were free.  He opened his eyes slowly, a blonde woman was watching him.<strong>"Where...where am...I?"</strong>
