------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the now soulless body of Bucky in my room in Nepal, I started to research how to undo brainwashes, all while Bucky's astral form floated around my room without saying a word, only glaring.

"The longer he stays outside his body, the harder it will be for him to adapt," The Ancient One said as she entered my room, giving me a cup of tea.

"Any ideas how to undo his Hydra brainwash?" I asked with a deep breath, taking a sip of the tea she had graciously brought me.

"There are a few spells that come to mind, but the results vary, so it's not a sure path to victory," The Ancient One replied, humming at the thought, "But… why are you asking me, after all, Mr. Walker, you already know how to save him, don't you?" she had a point, I knew how, Charles Xavier, but I really didn't want to owe the guy a favor, I didn't have any hard feelings against him, but I didn't have any good either.

"Fine… I will contact Raven," I sighed, "But… do you have a spell to bind him or something, at least until he… behaves?" I knew I could subdue him, but I didn't want to chase his ass to do it.

"As a matter of fact, I do," The Ancient One chuckled, amused at my dilemma, as she approached the soulless body of Bucky, "I will put a restraining rune on his body, it should be enough to keep him from acting out."

Carving the rune on his forehead, the Ancient One pulled Bucky's spirit back to his body. "I will… I will… what?"

"He will be for the most time, a confused little puppy," The Ancient One smiled, patting Bucky on the head, "But if he happens to break the restraining rune, I trust you have the power and knowledge to stop him."

"Ok," I sighed, pulling my phone out of my inventory to call Raven.

"I… who am I?" Bucky asked, touching his face, "Who are you?" he said, touching my face.

"To the corner," I chuckled, grabbing him by the neck, like a cat with my [telekinesis], moving him to the corner, away from me, as I called Raven.

"Alex?" Raven answered at the second beep.

"Wow, that was fast," I actually didn't know if they were going to answer.

"I gave you this number in case you ever needed something, I wasn't about to hang up on you," Raven replied from the other side of the line, amused. "So, what do you need?"

"I need Charles," I sighed.

"For what?" Raven asked, her tone now more serious.

"I have a… friend?... No, I barely know him... I have an ...acquaintance, yeah that's it, I have an acquaintance that was brainwashed by Hydra, and… well, who else but Charles to clean that up?" I replied, looking at the clueless Bucky, sitting on the corner like a child with a timeout.

"I see," Raven sighed, "Charles is… he doesn't really want to help others right now, he's mourning the loss of Jean."

"I know, but… this guy, he needs his help, Bucky is nothing but a weapon following the orders of monsters," I replied.

"Well, I guess I can give you his address but I don't think you will get anything," Raven sighed once again, giving me Charles' location.

"Thanks," I thanked her. Without her, it would've taken me a few weeks to find where he was.

"Don't thank me yet, he might say no," Raven muttered, "Have fun trying though," and with that she hanged up, rude, I didn't get to say bye.

"Ok, let's go buddy," I said, grabbing Bucky with my [Telekinesis] as I opened a portal to where Charles was, gotta love my map.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stepping out of the portal, with Bucky floating behind me thanks to my [Telekinesis], I looked around to see where I had teleported to, trees, birds, and lots of insects, a forest, great, and by the looks of it, a forest with a single house within a 20 mile radius, at least according to my map. "Charles," I shouted.

"Of all the people I expected a visit from, you were the last," I heard him chuckle in a bitter tone, as he came into view from the back of his house. He looked… terrible, like he had been drinking his pain away, like he was one beer away from having cirrhosis.

"Well, you did try to rape my mind a couple times," I replied with a shrug, "I need your help,"

Charles looked at me, his wheelchair stopping at the door of his house, "I can't help you," 

Great, he was going emo on me, "Look, you aren't my first option, your not even on the top ten, but unfortunately you are very efficient, this guy, is like me, but worse, he was actually brainwashed into obeying Hydra, and you are the key to his freedom,"

"I promised I would not interfere anymore, not after what happened to Jean, I… I killed her," Charles hissed.

"She is not dead, she ascended to another plane, you bald idiot," I sighed, "She is alive, very much so, and one day, she might come back," that was a lie, a big one, not the fact that she was alive, but the fact she could come back.

"More of your secret knowledge I presume," Charles chuckled bitterly.

"Yes, now you can one, help this guy, and make Jean proud, or two, let him die, because he might as well die, if he has no freedom," I replied.

"Is… is she truly alive?" Charles asked, his eyes looking at me, trying to find in me a reason to keep going.

"Yes, though technically she is now a God, so… pray to her?" I chuckled.

"I will help you… if only because you saved Raven, when I was too stubborn to accept my own mistakes," Charles eventually said, after a few seconds of silence.

"That works for me," I nodded.

"Let's see if I still have it," Charles muttered, "I mean, I haven't been able to pick anything from you, not a single thought," oh yeah, I had forgotten, thanks to the Phoenix fiasco, I had gained [Psychic Immunity] 

"I have trained my mind, to keep you out," I grinned, happy he had decided to help

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to Charles, even with his immense psychic powers, it would take him a few months to completely erase the programming Bucky had endured for so many years, so with that said, I left Bucky with him, Charles, after all, he was strong enough to deal with the broken soldier, and perhaps helping Bucky would give Charles a new sense of belonging, a new mission in life, time would tell.

As for me, well, with Bucky in the process of being saved under Charles's care, I was focusing on other things, like helping Emily with her transmutation homework, trying to become a geneticist to understand the super soldier serum, and training on the gym, and such, as for my Hydra quest, no the personal one, but the gamer one, well, I was apparently five bases short from destroying the twenty something I needed to complete the quest, if I had to take a guess, I would say the bases the quest counted were the main ones, but honestly I didn't care much for that, without Bucky, Hydra was at best a nuisance, a fly under my thumb.

I was also focusing on making money, well, not so much making money, but on blatantly copying ideas from my world, to make money, like Facebook, there was no Facebook here, or Amazon, there was no Amazon here, meaning I could capitalize on such ideas, to multiply my money.

I already had enough liquid capital to start, all I needed was to code the entire thing, and build the business model from basically zero. Funny thing, Ebay does exist here, weird right, Amazon doesn't exist, but Ebay does, the weirdest thing is, Ebay came after Amazon.

As for what I needed the money for? Well, many reasons, heck the list was nearly infinite, for one, I wanted to invest in the Extremis project, which sounded like a nice power boost, which meant I was about to erase Iron-Man 3 out of the canon timeline altogether. I also wanted money because, well, Gamer power or not, Money is basically an infinity stone in every universe, also… who doesn't like being rich? Realistically no one would ever reject such a thing.

I had also bought stocks in Starks industries, which right now were at an all time low, because of Tony being depressed and all, but I knew soon those stocks would triple their price, reason why I had invested a few millions in his company.

"I got a B!" Emily exclaimed as she entered my room, a frown on her face.

"I didn't know the Ancient One had a grading system," It really took me by surprise, I don't recall seeing her grading anyone, I mean, she does look at you when you fuck something up, but that's it.

"I asked her to grade me," Emily pouted.

"Well, I am sure you will get an A next time," I smiled, ruffling her hair.

"I will!" Emily declared with a new found fire within her.

"Oh my, to think grading someone would push them so much towards the path of success, maybe I should've graded you," The Ancient One chuckled, as she walked into my room.

"No thanks," I didn't like that idea at all.

"How is business going, Mr. Walker?" The Ancient One asked, her eyes on me.

"I just started investing, and hiring programmers, so… slow I guess?" I replied.

"Well, everyone has to start somewhere, don't you think?" With that she left, once again leaving me to wonder, what was she all about.

"Can we go to the market to buy some cereal?" Emily said, seconds after the Ancient One left.

"Sure," I nodded, as Emily opened a portal to the market in Nepal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Back from the Market, I continued studying about genetics slowly but surely, rising my level on it, until an idea came to mind, a completely unrelated idea to what I was doing, but brilliant one nonetheless, what if I could connect my map to a satellite above the earth? I mean, I didn't have the option to connect my map to anything, but…. If the satellite were to be mine, there could be a chance where it would be possible to connect my map to it, in the process discovering where every enemy I have on earth was?

I mean, it was an idea/theory worth investing some time into it, because regardless of if my map could or could not work with said satellite, a satellite was always a welcomed tool to anyone's arsenal, now that I think about, I could also invest some time learning how to code AI, I mean, it could be beneficial having a highly intelligent AI helping me with my projects.

"I guess, I could call my AI, Corn, or Crow," I hummed, getting more and more excited with the idea, "Fuck it, I will create my own AI." Though I would have to make sure, I didn't create a second Ultron by mistake, Ultron was not what I wanted, a Jarvis was what I wanted.

As I pondered about my new personal goal, I got a call, from no other than Fury.

"Fury?" I answered the phone.

"No, the Easter Bunny, of course it's me," I swear Fury is like a cat, I just can't get mad at him.

"Well, what can I do for you buddy?" I asked.

"Well, I need your help," Fury said, as I looked at the Calendar, it was still 1994, early 1994. So either Captain Marvel had decided to come a year earlier, or he had another problem.

"Where are you?" I asked.

"In New York, by your old apartment," Fury replied.

"Ok, on my way," I said, opening a portal to where he was.

"Ain't that efficient," Fury whistled, hanging up the phone, as I stepped out of the portal.

"Why are you here though?" I asked, wondering why of all places he had picked my old house in New York to call me.

"It was the only place I could think of," Fury sighed, "Look, I think Hydra… is… well, the motherfuckers are acting," so it wasn't Captain Marvel.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, you've been bombing their asses left and right, and I think they have changed their approach about how to proceed with their plans," Fury started to explain, his eyes full of worry, "In the last few months, a lot of agents have been hired, and some of our best, have been fired, in a terrible way things have started to get weird, I think… it's them, they are absorbing SHIELD, taking over in a rather aggressive way, and well, you are the only fucker I know that has experience with them."

"Are you sure it's them?" I mean, realistically chances were, it was them, but this seemed out of character for them, they were more of the type that took their time moving the pieces.

"Well, it's either them, or Shield is going to hell," Fury sighed, "Look, all I need is for you to do your voodoo magic thing, and see if we are clean, if we are, well, that's on me, but if we are not, I need you to help me clean SHIELD from Hydra's grasp," 

With a smile I nodded, "Of course, I not only hate them, but I consider you a friend, so let's kick some Hydra ass,"

"Friend, huh?" Fury chuckled, "I guess I could do worse,"

"I take great offense to that," I scoffed.

[New Quest Created = The Poison of S.H.I.E.L.D

S.H.I.E.L.D is slowly but surely being taken apart, but the question is, by whom? Help Nick Fury find out who's behind the poison within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Reward = 15.000.000EXP, 5.000.000$, ????

Failure =  S.H.I.E.L.D' demise.

Accept = Yes/No]

Hmm, so there was a chance Hydra wasn't behind this, ain't this interesting.
