Now Where Am I? - Chapter 7
???: (extending his hand) “Dr. Abraham Erskine. I represent the Strategic Scientific Reserve.”
Steve: (Shaking hand) “Steve Rogers”
And everything went same as in the movies he asked about his information which he has falsified for the last 5 attempts and at last he got selected on the other hand I got selected for the same by Colonel Phillips under Project Rebirth.
We have to report next week at the training regimen so I didn’t meet with Steve and thought of giving him a surprise.
On the training ground, I found Steve. He was surprised that he was selected and told me his whole thing with Dr. Erskine.
We were then made to stand in a queue.
Then Agent Carter came. Wow, she was a total package of beauty with brawns. She was giving mature vibes but was cold in nature. Steve was just capturing her glances. ‘Now I got a reason to smack America’s Ass, HAHAHAHA’.
???: “Recruits, Attention!”
We silently stood in our places.
???: “Gentleman, I am Agent Carter. I supervise all operations for this divisions.”
Then a recruit between spoke up.
???: “Must be the accent, Queen Victoria. Thought I was signing up for the U.S. Army.”
By then everyone new. He just made his own pants shat, but I was grinning knowing now that babe is going to give him a super jab.
Carter: “What’s your name soldier?”
???: (smugly) “Gilmore Hodge, Your Majesty.”
Carter: “Step forward Hodge and put your right foot forward”
Hodge: “Are we going to wrestle because I know few moves which you’ll like”
‘Man, the punch she gave him on his face. Fuck, she got power in those hands.’
When everyone else was watching the drama, I was standing next to Hodge and waiting for Carter to came near her so I copy some of her skills.

‘Fuck, that’s a whole lot of skills there. There are 3 dots in there. The Interface screen is small, it can’t hold all her skills’. After some thinking I decided to Rifle Mastery, Pistol Mastery, Counter Attack and High Agility.

[Do you want to fuse the skills? (Y/N)]
‘I thought its just took small time copy maybe they won’t take much load.’
‘Initiate Fusion’
That was the mistake I made. Suddenly a massive pain started in my head and everything just started rotating around me. At that moment I knew, I fucked up. I fainted there.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a massive tent on a bed and Steve came to me.
Steve: “What happened, Kyle. You just fainted. They said you got a sun stroke.”
Kyle: “I don’t know, Steve. One moment I was fine another I got fainted.”
‘Can’t tell him about the system.”
Steve: “If you are fine then come with me. The training officer is calling for you.”
Kyle: “Okay, let’s get going”
On the way I checked the System and there were some massive changes in it.

When I reached the instructor asked me to report to colonel Phillips. When I reached his office, he was sitting on the chair behind the desk.
Kyle: “Soldier Kyle, reporting”
Phillips: “You are no soldier, boy. You can’t even the handle sun, why should I take chances on you. Go back. Pack your stuff and move out from here.”
Kyle: “Sorry sir, but I won’t go. I have decided to go on war and I will.”
‘How can I leave the chance to copy Captain America’s skills.’
Phillips: “Don’t check my patience, boy. Move out from here.”
Kyle: “I won’t move, sir. How about a bet, sir? If I lose, I will leave and if I win, I’ll stay.”
Phillips: “So, you now want to bet your chances. Okay, so what’s the game.”
Kyle: “Sir I have heard you are a great marksman. How about we bet on shooting targets?”
Phillips: “So you want to take your chances in my game. Okay, then meet me in shooting range after 5. We will see.”
After I went away from there. I met Steve in the hallway.
Steve: “What were you talking with Colonel?”
Kyle: “Nothing, I just bet my chances of recruitment on a shooting competition.”
Steve: “Are you kidding me, Kyle. You made a bet on shooting with the best marksman here.”
I was already irritated and Steve was just pestering me.
Kyle: “He is just an old asshole. Why are you thinking too much?”
Steve: “Language, Kyle.”
Kyle: “Shove your language up your ass.”
I just went away from there and Steve was just shocked with my statement. I had never cussed him before. So, that’s obvious.
After that we were asked to follow the training routine. I was with Steve, obviously at the end and Steve dumbass Hodge was competing with me for god knows what. We were then asked to run around the field, I was up ahead every one by a lap and Steve was at the end pushing his body, so I slowed myself down so we can go together. Then the instructor stopped us near the pole.
Instructor: “That flag up there, means we are only half way up there. Whoever get that flag from there can go with Agent Carter in the jeep.”
I was just looking at the assholes pulling each other and climbing the pole to get the flag. I looked at Steve.
Kyle: “I know what are you thinking. I’m thinking the same.”
Instructor: “Why don’t you try, Kyle. Nobody has been able to get that flag in last 17 years.”
Kyle: “No Sir, I am fine.”
Steve started walking toward the pole.
Instructor: “Rogers, I said fall in.”
He paid no attention to it, just pulled the pin from the bottom of the pole collected the flag, took the flag and handed it to the instructor.
Steve: “Thank you sir”
Instructor then looked at me.
Instructor: “Kyle, I fall in the group.”
I looked at Steve and held my foot.
Kyle: “Sir, I am injured. I think it’s a sprain.”
Instructor just looked at me just nodded and ordered me to go with Steve.
I sat in the jeep and it started moving.
Steve: “When were you injured.”
Kyle: “Who said I am injured, I just excused myself”
Carter: “You know soldier, you could get disbanded for that.”
Kyle: “Mam, I have betted my chance with Colonel Phillips, I have no mood of fearing expulsion.”
We reached the resting area and waited for others to come. We were than excused to rest for rest of the day. I was waiting for the clock to reach 5 so I can have my match with Colonel Phillips.
{Guys the companion thing is not fitting in this arc so there will less to none interaction with her.}
