Lost Amongst The Stars – A Marvel Fanfic - Chapter 44
I have been looking around different Enlistment Camp so as to get a look at Steve. It is only in New York that I caught a sight of him going inside an enlistment centre.
He came out after a while looking dejected, i tailed him after that so as to take a look at him.He was just as scrawny looking as he was shown in the movie and looking at him really made me amazed about how good of a supersoldier serum Eskrine made and at his mind.To make such a powerful serum with no side effects in this time period,a feat which is repeated ever again in the future at least without any side effects.
I see Steve walking around dejected and entering some alleys.I follow after him and see him get in altercation with some boys all of which were “bigger” than him.Steve tries to fight them but is shoved down Everytime he tries to fight back.But he gets up everytime.(Sigh)That persistence of him to always do what is right is really a bother.Maybe this is why Eskrine choose him.Eskrine did say that the serum enhances everything about the user.Well I should intervene.
“Hey what are you boys doing there?”
Hearing my voice,the three of the boys run away.
“You shouldn’t try to fight when you are outnumbered and weaker than the people before you.”I told him.
Steve picks himself up and looks at me to say
“But a person should fight for what is right.True strength is having(huh huh) the courage to fight against wrong.”
Damn still the boy scout.I bend down to pick up some papers that Steve had dropped.
“So you trying to enlist? Didn’t know that the army enlists kids.”
“I am not a kid.And yes I am trying to enlist but rejected everytime.”
“Why?”
“Sorry??”
“Why do you try to enlist again and again?even though you are rejected everytime.Just take a look at yourself do you think that someone like you is going to make a difference by being there?”
Steve looks at me straight into my eyes and says with determination
“I may not be strongest or the smartest person around but if I could even save a single life by giving my own then I am happy.”
“And what makes you sure that you can save that life with how you are right now?”
Steve looks a bit conflicted at that but regains his composure
“I’ll find a way”
I give him a pat on his shoulder while simultaneously placing a tracking charm on him.
“Well I hope you find a way to do what you want.But even if you don’t just remember that you are destined for greatness and I am saying this just to console you but on the basis of your attitude.Always remember it’s our attitude which shapes our personality.”Saying so I walk away leaving Steve thinking about our conversation.
