Most elementary school kids in the USA know the basic history of Captain America. The young boy from Brooklyn, born on the 4th of July, that kept persevering in his pursuit of joining the army and serving his nation during WW2 despite being declared 4-F multiple times. Then Dr. Erskine met him and offered Steve the chance to join the Super Soldier Serum Experiments, and Steve leapt on the opportunity. The serum made him superhuman, but before it could be used to create any other super soldier, Erskine was killed by a Nazi spy. And so Steve Rogers became Captain America, leading the Howling Commandos with his right-hand man, best friend, and top sniper Bucky Barnes, across the European battlefield to bring down Hitler and his top-secret science division Hydra. Hydra was brought down within the last days of the war, but Bucky was killed on the path to victory and Captain America was killed in the North Sea, never to return to the land he fought so long for.

But of course, there are times when what is taught as historical fact turns out to be wrong. For instead of dying, Steve Rogers survived in hibernation within the ice, waiting to be discovered. And discovered he was. But instead of being found by any friendly force, he was found by Hydra, controlled by SPECTRE. They realized how foturnate a find this was for them, but initially disagreed on what to do. Some said kill him, but that was seen as a waste. Others said to brainwash him to be under their control, but that was seen as too risky and liable to blow apart in their faces. Instead, they took him to their labs and found a way to keep him under suspended animation while allowing them to have access to him to seek to rediscover the Super Soldier Serum. And so he has remained, trapped and alone. Until one day, someone unexpected arrived.

Half Pint decided to have Spectre and Hydra be tied together which then called into question what became of Cap in this timeline. Since the previous guy who had the role dropped out, I decided to do my own take where I'll work with Half Pint to get Cap rescued and brought into the world properly. After that, I hope to play out him adjusting to the new world and deciding to still be a hero within the modern day. How exactly that will look like will depend on what ends up happening.
