"urgh....wha...huh...wh....where am ," said a drowsy Howard stark as he clutched his head while seeing weird colours  in the darkness, he's mind felt dizzy and as he's eye's got used to the darkness he noticed he was in a cell with nothing but a desk and a chair in the middle, he knew he was tied up from all the rattling sounds that he made when he moved .

"He's come to sir," said a voice outside the cell, then the door opened  as bright light shone through  and a man with a long coat and a duffel hat walked in.

"oh your up Mr stark, your quite a heavy sleeper," said the man as he smiled with teeth slightly sharper than the average person

"wh..where am i" said stark groggily as he vision began to return with his memories in toe.

"now now Mr stark i don't believe your in the position to be making those demands,"said the man as he sat down on the chair and another guard brought in a tray containing a huge slice of raw steak.

"do you mind if eat while we speak ?" said the man as he nonchalantly prepared to dig in.

"anyway we have been keeping an eye on you Mr stark, your achievements in the development of science and technology in the past couple of years is nothing short of a miracle, we have been keenly observing your progress throughout the warring years and are finally glad to announce that you have been chosen to join our organisation,"said the man as continued to dig in to his meal while talking Howard

"So you're saying i'm now apart of your organisation.... you kidnap me just to initiate me.......are you all some sort of secret illegal group being ch---"

"Tut tut Mr stark if we are in hiding how were we able to know of your assistance in the creation of the super soldier known as captain Steve rogers," said the man with a glint in his eyes.

"H..how do you know that," said a slightly shocked Howard stark

"we know a lot of things that you do not, for example we know that after the end of this war there will be outside forces plotting against you due to the threat you posses with your ability to create these marvellous inventions." said the man with a mouthful of food

"who," asked stark quite worriedly

"in time Mr stark, in time"  said the man as he put his cutlery down

"anyway let's get straight to the point, we wish to hire you so what do you say?" said the man as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"i.. i don't know anything about you people"said stark

"how about i give you a clue, you've fought us before" said the man with a smile on his face

stark's eyes widened as he came to the inevitable conclusion of who his assailants were a part of.

"are you part of HYDRA," said stark as calmly as he could

"Not quite but BINGO none the less," said the man as he was still smiling

" you Nazi Filth, i'll never help the like's of you swastika bas--"

the man took Howard's head and smashed it on the table, his nose was slightly crooked and oozing with blood.

"Mr stark you must be mistaken, do you see a swastika on my shoulder," said the man as he showed off his garments with a twisted smile, the sliver hydra with red lighting almost glowed in the dim dark room. The man leaned over and put his head to stark's ear

''Our loyalties lie elsewhere'' he whispered while he's canines elongated and a reptilian almost snaked out between his lips

The man then took his head and smashed it once again into the desk corner and left stark's nose dripping with blood.

"you see you don't know what HYDRA is Mr stark, better yet still......you don't know who i am" said the man as he' face began to melt of, the skin oozed of like melted cheese and the putrid skull hollow coloured dark brown caked in body fluids could be seen through the sinew of flesh, then began the slow change into a very well known enemy......that of Schmidt's

"how is this possible, your dead" said stark finding it hard to breathe from the pain

"wait for the show to end Mr stark," said the man as he's face and body went through another round of shifting to change into that of Steve roger's

"h...how is this.." said stark as he saw he's once trusted ally bend down and smile at him while wearing a uniform without the american flag on it.

"you must understand Mr stark that Schmidt was just pawn in this game of chess that i play against fate, but would you like to here something funny, I somehow know fates next move hahahahhahahahaha" laughed Steve as he changed back into the man and made his way out of the room with stark emotionless sitting on the floor with blood still dripping on from his nose

"goodbye Mr stark hehehehehe," snickered  the man as he closed the door

stark lay in a pool of his own blood with the power pure adrenaline just about helping him cope with the pain, he had so many questions 

who was that man ?

who really was schmidt ?

did he really know Steve Rogers that well ?

Why did they choose him of all people ?

 and why....couldn't he remember what that man looked like.....

==============================================

"sir," saluted the guards in unison as the man made his way out the room

"he's ready have him incapacitated and injected with an agent," said the man with a smile still on his face.

the man then made his way back to the main lab and opened the door, he was greeted by a familiar face.

"greetings prime, we have taken care of stark he should not be a problem in the future" said the man as looked towards another man sitting on the chair inspecting a machine

"perfect," said jax as he turned around with a smile on his face and faced the man

"so what should i call you then," said jax

"how about A1 and the rest who come after can call me chief," said the man now known as chief, he smiled at the thought of his new name and future status.

"good, it seems that you have also inherited parts of my intelligence as well," said jax as he wrote down more information on his laptop next to him

"anyway back to business, so you say you got stark correct?"said jax

"yes sir" said chief

"now you've got some of my memories so you must know a little about the arc reactor, truly a marvel of its time yet to me it means quite little," said jax halfheartedly as he continued to type on the computer.

"but here's the issue you see this is a world with different laws and although it may be slightly similar to my previous one it still works differently which makes alot of the technology from my world impossible to build, so therefore the way to work around that is by innovating and using my knowledge of greater tech to enhance the nuts and bolts of this stone age civilisation," sneered jax as he stopped typing.

"i call it the pendulum refractor, by reflecting the powers of this relic constantly around this item i can then use this thing's ability however much i wish without being affected by any form of will beyond my own. I will be able to create limitless energy that will be able to power the rest of my operations, you realise this to don't you, the more humanity's technology increases the more the awareness unfold's then in the decades to come privacy will be a thing of the past, i don't plan to wait for the future to bite me in the back i'll create my own future and i think i'll start with that" said jax as he looked out at the night sky and stared at the moon while taking a bite out of a sandwich next to him

"want a bite," he offered

"no thanks I've already eaten" smiled chief

jax then picked up a folder and began to read it a while. he handed chief several documents with names and faces and locations of people and items. Each filed with different grades and lettering depending on danger or affect on the timeline 

"for your next assignment your going to take a handful of agent's and kidnap senator Brandt, he should be in hospital in about two hours from now having had a cardiac arrest and eventually go into a coma, this is from having ingested a certain pill that was put in his drink by the previous agent who had brought us the SSS and got rid of Dr Abraham erskine,"said jax as he continued

"you will kill him while in his coma and have the rest of the agent's dispose of him, then you will then take his place as senator Brandt," said jax as he put down the folder and got up and walked to the balcony

"yes sir," said chief as hit his chest as a form of salute and left jax looking on from a balcony

"in this world i'll reach the top once again and this time i'll go beyond," said jax as he continued to look out at the infinite stars in the sky.

" hmm, it really does get chilly at night here," said jax as he looked on at the sand dunes of a desert then made his way back in
