Marvel Gamer Project: chapter 8 (Patreon)

The operation was a hard process, that took both geniuses two days to complete, removing the bomb that had been placed in my heart was hard to even for them, with Howard making sure the bomb didn’t explode and the doctor making sure my heart didn’t stop beating, the hardest part, was probably for me, that I had to stay awake, for reasons, apparently the bomb was set to explode should my heart slow down too much, In the end, their combined efforts proved to be enough.

All my hate… all my anger… they were all gone as soon as the bomb was out, no… I still hated them… but it now didn’t dictate my entire being.

I stood up, as the doctor was about to finish stitching my chest, holding my hands to the air in doubt. I wasn’t really sure I liked the idea of something controlling my every emotion, my hate… while still there… felt empty of rage…. empty of fuel.

“I need to finish the stiching,” Doctor Erskine said, “You will bleed out…”

Bleed out, poor naive doctor… Hydra made sure to grind my END to a point where this was nothing, “Very well,” Nonetheless I complied, it was vexing how calmed and collected I felt… compared to a few seconds ago.

“That bomb you had in you… was a nasty little bastard…. one mistake and the entire block would’ve been gone!” Howard laughed, as he cleaned his hands with water from my blood, “Thos hydra suckers sure are some big assholes, to put a bomb that big inside of some, is just… too much,”

Well… I couldn’t agree more, “It is what it is,” I sighed.

“I know first hand how cruel they can be… I’m just glad I was able to help you,” The doctor sighed.

“I am amazed how good you are holding the pain and stuff… without any medication… is truly baffling,” Howard commented as he drank a… coke.

I arched an eyebrow at him, “A coke?”

“I can’t drink whisky in an operation room,” Howard shrugged.

“Done,”

“Well…” Freedom… at last.

————————————————————————

As a man of my word I gave the USA a list of all the Hydra agents within the country that I had information of… I of course… evaded a few, for my own… personal gain and to make sure didn’t suspect a thing.

I didn’t have anything against the doctor… but he couldn’t be allowed to live… if he were to be alive, beings like the hulk, would simply cease to exist, and fortunately for the green beast, I needed him alive.

Now…. I had a moral issue with what to do now with one little thing, should I allow the last vial of the SSS go to waste… or keep it to myself.

I suppose I’ll see on the go, “Well… let’s go and see Petra,” I smirked as I walked back home.

On my way home, I started to ponder what my first move should be… but I suppose either way, it doesn’t matter as long as I get to see their organization crumble before my eyes.

“You were missing for two days…” That voice… just the woman I wanted to see, I turned around into an Alley for more…. privacy, “It seems you are forgetting what your role is…”

“I haven’t,” I smiled as I used [Focused Strike] on my right as I pierced both of her eyes, with my index and middle finger.

“Ahhhh!” Petra screamed in pain, as I kicked her chin to knock her out, to avoid getting unwanted attention.

“Goodbye,” I smiled, snapping her neck.

[Hydra Member Killed

+200EXP]

Well that was easy… I suppose she just didn’t expect me to attack her, well… what is done is done.

————————————————————————

As I laid on my bed, dare I say happy for the first time in a while,, I started to plan what to do first, how to dismantle hydra little by little, erasing them from the face of the earth.

*KNOCK*

*KNOCK*

*KNOCK*

Visitors? Odd, considering, Steve and Bucky were out with the army, was it maybe the doctor and Howard?

“Who is it?” I asked, as I pulled my army knife out of my inventory, a few seconds passed and no one answered, with hesitation I opened the door to find a letter on the ground.

[Army Draft Letter]

I have been drafted… well, ain't that… nice, the battlefield can be a exp farm if I play my cards right.

[Provost Marshal’s Office

Interesting… well, I can either ignore it… or, join the army, to grind my current skills, “Hm,”

[James Howlett POV]

New recruits were supposed to come soon… annoying, none of them fought for anything more than glory.

“Don’t be such an old man, besides… the doctor said that one of the recruits might surprise you…”

“Hm, I doubt it,” I sighed.
