Now Where Am I? - Chapter 13
After checking the status, I just went to sleep. I spent my rest of the week playing with Elly and sleeping.
{After one week}
I was getting ready. Wearing my Major uniform. I asked if Elly want to go with me. She nodded and I washed her up and helped him dressing up and asked her to wear shoes. She just wore them in opposite feet. Sometimes, this girl can be so clumsy.
Kyle: “What are you doing, Elly. I have told you many times how to wear shoes, haven’t I?
She just pouted and said nothing I took off her shoes and helped him wear them right. She was still angry a pouting to me. I just kissed her forehead and asked her to follow me.
She giggled and held my hand and walked with me. After sometime a car came near me.
Col.: “Oh so Elly is also going with us.”
Elly: “Yes, grandpa. Brother said Captain America will be there.”
Colonel just laughed. Everyone took a liking to Elly. Colonel asked her to call him grandpa. So, he also has a soft spot. We sat in the car and drove to the training camp. We talked all the way. Colonel was busy with Elly, spoiling her. She loved sweets, and colonel never missed treating her. We reached our destination.
Col. “I am going to the recruitment base.”
Kyle: “Aren’t you going to meet him.”
Col.: “I don’t like clowns”
He frowned and asked the driver to get him to the base. I just laughed it off. He was really pissed at Steve. I reached the place. There was a stage there. Recruits were sitting on the ground. I reached back stage with Elly in my lap. When I reached there Steve was already at the stage. People on the back stage were just shocked watching me, their eyes sparkled seeing me.
Steve was giving his lame ass speech there, about joining him. Recruits were mocking him and asked to send the girls. I was watching the drama form the back stage.
Elly: “Brother, why are they shouting at Captain America?”
Kyle: “They are not shouting, Elly. They are showing their enthusiasm.”
Elly: “When are we going to meet him?”
Kyle: “We are going right now, princess?”
I took Elly with me on to the stage. Watching me, all the shouting stopped. Their eyes sparkled watching their idol. Steve was unknown to this fact that I was behind him.
Kyle: “this is how you respect your higher ups. Is this your discipline?”
Everyone just looked down.
Kyle: “So, now tell me how many of you are willing to follow me to lead America to victory.”
All shouted in unison. Steve took this chance and escaped back to the back stage.
Kyle: “Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the glory of your country.”
Everyone: “YES!!”
Kyle: “Are you ready to fight with me and send Hitler to the gates of hell by your hands?”
Everyone just broke in Excitement. Their blood was boiling listening to the confident words of their idol. The person who alone killed 1000 men and saved everyone. The ‘One Man Army’. Then the girls took the stage and started dancing but the hot-blooded men just got their adrenaline shot. Elly was also shouting about sending Hitler to hell. I stopped her. She just got embarrassed, seeing me laughing and pouted.
Kyle: “What happened, Elly?”
Elly: “I am not talking to you?”
I made a sad face.
Kyle: “Now, Elly is not talking to me. I don’t want to live anymore. My princess is angry with me. God, please take me.”
Elly: (with tears) “Who said I am not talking to you. You are the best brother. How can I be angry with you? Don’t go anywhere.”
Kyle: (kissing her on cheeks)” Ok if Elly wants me to stay. I will stay. Now let’s go meet Captain America.”
We reached Steve’s cabin. I nocked and went inside. He was sitting facing the wall.
Kyle: “How are you, Steve?”
Seeing me he got excited and jumped from his seat and hugged me.
Steve: “I am fine. What about you?”
Seeing Elly in my eyes he smiled and asked.
Steve: “Oh, Elly. How are you? Want to fight again?”
Elly refused Steve. He knows about her and How she was found and I adopted her.
Kyle: “What are you doing Steve?”
Steve: “Oh, I work as an artist now. I came here to perform for the recruits.”
Kyle: “You are not working Steve. You are ruining, what you have. This is not what we agreed to do when I asked you to take the serum. I wanted you on the frontlines with me.”
Steve was just looking down. he was sad but he couldn’t do anything. He was never offered to go on war. To change the topic, he asked me about my last mission
Steve: “How was your last mission? I only knew the highlights but I want to know the whole story from you.”
Kyle:” Elly are you hungry? Want to eat with captain America.”
Elly: “Yes, I want to eat with captain America?”
I gave Elly to Steve. He put her on his shoulders and we started moving to the canteen. We saw Agent Carter on the way. She smiled watching me and Elly.
Carter: “Where’s the trio going?”
Kyle: “Oh we are just going to the canteen. Elly wants to have lunch with Captain America”
Elly: “Aunty Carter, why don’t you come with me. Brother Kyle is going to tell us about the mission where he saved me.”
Carter’s eyes also sparkled. She also knew the scratch so she joined us. We went to canteen; everyone was shocked watching me.
Kyle: “Soldiers eat up cause today is going to be long day as I’ll take your class today.”
Hearing everyone was pumped up. I took an empty seat with Elly on my lap. Steve was sitting with Carter on the opposite side. I just smiled at the couple.
