Chapter 1. Hydra
---
In the barren wastelands of Tennessee, USA...
Beneath the seemingly lifeless plains lay a massive underground research facility.
A young man in his early twenties, strikingly handsome, was typing away rapidly on a computer.
A name badge hung over his left chest:
"Nolan"
Researcher No. 21-03
Nolan was responsible for researching the Super Soldier Serum the very serum that represented the idealistic power within the Marvel Universe.
However, Nolan didn't work for the U.S. military. He served another organization: HYDRA.
"Hey Nolan, how's it looking?" Project lead Jason glanced over at him, then at the enormous machine operating in front of them. Inside, a volunteer was struggling in visible agony.
"It's no good. Still a failure," Nolan shook his head. As the serum was injected, the volunteer's face contorted in pain until, under both their gazes, his body melted into a grotesque, viscous sludge.
