After Charles' call, I opened a portal to where the old doctor was, to find him and Bucky talking about the old days. At my arrival, Charles tensed, and so did Bucky, but in a different way. Unlike Charles that looked at me with a sense of guilt, Bucky looked at me like he was afraid of judgment. 

"Hello there," I greeted with a warm smile.

"Mr. Walker," Charles smiled, an empty smile at that. "I did what you what you asked me to do, Mr. Barnes is now clean of Hydra's programming, and is by all means a free man," 

"Thank you," I honestly was grateful he did what he did, without his powers, it would've taken me a long time to free Bucky.

"I heard.. I remember a lot of you," Bucky started, "Hydra… they were planning your demise with a bio-weapon they were developing,"

I looked at him, "Hive?"

"Yes," Bucky replied, eyes wide as he came to a realization, "You killed Hive,"

"Yes," I nodded, "It was both hard, and easy to do," it was basically an environmental kill.

"Good," Bucky nodded, "Then for what you came, I want to destroy Hydra, so that I can start to atone for what I did," his eyes were full of determination, and pain, so much pain, to think if things were different, if I didn't have this ever changing power, that could've been me.

"Well, about that," I smiled, "You won't need to do a thing, I mean, I can leave a base without destroying if you want to have your fun,"

Bucky blinked, clearly confused by my statement, confusion that soon turned to anger, "I don't understand, what do you mean I don't have to do a thing, it's the only way I can atone, that I can…" 

"Bucky, Hydra is no longer a threat, and it will never be, not anymore," I grinned. Since my satellite launch Hydra bases had not stopped appearing, one by one, sealing their fate. By the end of the day, I estimated I would know where every single Hydra base was.

"They will always be a threat, Hydra is a disease, one that needs to be stopped, they took my life, they took Emily's, they took yours!" Bucky growled.

"I know," I nodded, a cold air rushing through my face, "And I am taking everything from them," 

Taken back by my declaration, the Winter Soldier took a step back, "I still don't understand,"

"I will soon know where every Hydra base is located, and… you know," I winked.

"You will do what you did for the others," Bucky replied, "That won't work on all of them, some are close to civilians, you would be killing thousands of innocents, so far the bases you bombed, had no civilians close, but some will," he had a point.

"Shit, you right," I sighed, "Ok, then… let's empty those bases together," I smiled, extending my hand to the Winter Soldier who did the same, giving me a firm old style handshake.

"Let's," Bucky hissed, already imagining himself killing Hydra agents.

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

And so, my quest to eliminate Hydra began with the Winter Soldier by my side. Some bases were bombed, others were eliminated by hand, some were easy to deal with, others not so much, In some bases, we encountered unfinished experiments that made things like the Hive look pleasant, in others, we saw how deep Hydra's connection to the world government ran, and so we took names, and then their lives, each day nearing us closer to a Hydra free world, well, as free as it could be.

In some raids S.H.I.E.L.D aided us, not because we needed it, Bucky and I were more than enough to deal with most things, but because I was helping Fury get some flashing recommendations for his future promotion, and what better than a young agent leading the charge into Hydra's base, but I ain't gonna lie, the other reason I was… revealing myself to the government was rather simple, I was still missing a piece, an ingredient to start crafting my armor, and to find it, I needed to work the system from the inside out.

It didn't matter anyway, if they knew or not about me, the only reason I ever hid was because of Hydra, and they don't scare me anymore, they can't hurt me anymore.

In a way, I was pulling a Tony Stark, telling the world I was here, and I didn't give a fuck about people knowing it, it was a power move, one that I know had the power to back it up.

"This is the last base, right?" Bucky asked, reloading his weapon, as the hundreds of Hydra agents came at us shooting.

"No, there is still one left, but it has no living beings inside," If I had to take a guess, it was the base where Arnim Zola's mind was.

"I still can't believe these bitches had so many properties around the world, instead of world domination the fuckers should've gone to real estate, by this point the world would've been theirs," Fury commented, throwing a grenade into a group of incoming soldiers.

"Hydra's Real Estate? Yeah, no," I snorted.

"I refuse to acknowledge that ill attempt at comedy," Bucky replied with a serious expression.

"Did the cryogenic chamber took your sense of humor too?" Fury chucked.

Bucky remained stoic, though in the left corner of his mouth, I could see he was almost smiling, "Let's end this, I promised Emily I would let her braid my hair,"

"I am suddenly glad I shave bald style," Fury chuckled.

"I don't think she would ever ask to braid your hair," Bucky replied, in the kind of tone kids used to say things like, she likes me better than you.

"Do you believe this bitch?" Fury turned to me, as I created a shield around us.

"Well, he does live with me for the moment, and Emily has taken to him like an uncle," I chuckled.

"Ok, that's it, I am taking time off next week," Fury declared. "I will not let grandpa popsicle over there outshine me,"

I laughed, to think Emily would grow so much on them. Then again, it was one of the reasons I reintroduced Emily to Bucky, she was therapeutic to him.

"Let's end this," I chuckled, rushing at the few Hydra agents left, with Bucky and Fury on my back, what a day.

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

Life after Hydra had normalized, without them trying to eliminate me at every turn of my life, things went back to normal rather quickly. Well, as normal as they could be. Emily was now going to two schools, a normal one, for the normal human things during the morning, and the one in Karma-Taj with the Ancient One in the afternoon.

 

 

As for the Winter Soldier, well, Bucky was working for me, as my bodyguard, he wanted to thank me for what I did, and well, I offered him a job, and he took it.

 

 

Without Hydra being as powerful as it was at one point, I now had the time to focus on other matters, like building an empire, I wanted to be rich, filthy rich, and with that in mind, I founded, Walker's Corp, a company focused on the development of the humankind through the research of genetics, physics and other sciences.

 

 

Right now, Walker's Corp was small, with a handful of scientists that Fury himself recommended working for me, but with time it would grow.

 

 

In the meantime, as my little empire grew one step at a time, I was doing something else, hunting the Adamantium I so desperately desired to start working on my armor. So far, working with S.H.I.E.L.D. had taken me nowhere with this little quest of mine. Granted, my access was somewhat limited, so I had taken a new approach so to speak, by learning how to hack S.H.I.E.L.D.

 

 

This task was by no means easy, just learning how to code took me a month or so, and then I had to practice a lot until my success rate hacking shield was beyond 90%. This brought back some memories, because ever since Emily's operation I had never seen my success rate before for anything, perhaps it was a random occurrence.

 

 

Anyways, after six months working for S.H.I.E.L.D., my skills in the art of programming were high enough to infiltrate their old systems without being discovered, and so, my real quest for the Adamantium began.

 

 

With the power to hack and access every file within S.H.I.E.L.D. I soon learned the secret behind the Adamantium was so classified that not even Shield's director had complete access to it, in fact the file needed five encrypted keys to be open, and Shield's director only had one.

 

 

A remarkable discovery, and for many and very big setback, but not for me, while it was true hacking the file was beyond my current capabilities, finding the other keys was not, Shield was too overconfident in their system's capabilities to stop unwanted eyes, meaning anything beyond a certain level of access was rarely well-kept, what did I mean by this? Well, Shield was fiercely protecting the file that had everything I needed, but it was not protecting those who had the keys as well as the file.

 

 

And because of that, it took me less than an hour to find who had the keys, and where to find them. With portals and a bit of patience, I managed to visit every key holder, eventually gathering the codes I needed to break the file open.

 

 

Had Shield or the government protected the location and names of those who held the keys as good as they protected the file, well, it would've probably taken me a year or two to find what I needed, so I suppose in a way I should thank them for their negligence.

 

 

Now, with the file in my hands, all I needed to do was visit the place where my last ingredient was.

 

 

Grinning, and barely containing my excitement, I opened a portal to the ultra secret base that kept the formula for the adamantium as well as some adamantium in it, and hid, the last thing I wanted was to make an enemy of the government, which is why I was using a disguise and an illusion to cover my entire being, I mean, at one point they would discover I was here, and I didn't want no arrows pointing at me.

 

 

Using [Sight] I traversed through the base with little to no difficulty, the base was basically a Hydra base with a few extra things here and there, but like every Hydra base I had visited it was rather easy to avoid being detected if you knew how to move through the place.

 

 

Eventually, I reached the holy grail of the base. I could barely contain my excitement as my eyes laid on the Adamantium I had been looking for, grinning, and wasting no time. I stole the base dry of the metal, as I opened a portal to one of the many control rooms in the base. If the recipe was around here, I would find it.

 

 

Knocking everyone out before they could even see me, not that it mattered I was wearing a disguise, with a sigh, I connected to the main computer and searched for the recipe to find it was located on a floor that was below the base by a few hundred meters, a floor that only one entrance, and one exit, both having only one key, fortunately for me, I had no need for keys. 

 

 

Once again, I opened a portal to the floor below, to find myself in front of a massive safe, it was as big a house, a three story house to be precise, with thick impenetrable walls. "I guess another portal?" I guess portals were becoming my old reliable method of solving problems. Inwardly chuckling at that, I opened a portal inside the safe, this time, finding a hard drive in the middle of the safe.

 

 

"No guns? Or lasers, it's like the government wants to be robbed," Smiling at my own comment, I reached for the hard drive putting in it on my inventory, effectively completing my quest, though as I rejoiced on that little fact, the alarms of the base went off.

 

 

"Escape is impossible," I heard a deep voice declare through the coms of the building, it seemed the safe had some speakers inside, as well as cameras, not that it mattered, I was hiding beneath a disguise and an illusion.

 

 

"Well, then I'm about to do what is called a pro gamer move," I replied, opening a portal to Portugal, why Portugal you might ask? Well, if they can see the portal, they can see where I am teleporting, ergo, I don't want them having any clue where I am going. "Bye~" and so, my quest was completed, and now, a new chapter of my life began, a forging one.
