《A marvel rise》Chapter 14

"It freezing here." Alex complain to no one in particular.
"Remember when I made you ride the Cyclone at Coney Island?" Bucky said at Steve as they look down from the cliff.
Steve turn to him with a grin."Yeah, I and I threw up?" He look at his friend in amusement.
"This isn't payback, is it?" Bucky said in a worried tone, as he keep eying the zipline.
"Now why would I do that?" Steve said with obvious mirth in his voice, a big ass grin on his face as he looked at Bucky.
Bucky saw the grin and curst quietly, knowing that it was.
"Steve, are sure I can't switch with Bucky, look the poor guy is shaking like a leaf." This wasn't the first time he tried to change history, but sadly he had no luck. Just like last night when the plan was set up Steve and Bucky told him it was fine, and their was nothing to worrie about. Steve and Bucky would team up and him and Gabe would do the same. While Steve and Bucky cause a distraction, he and Gabe would go to the front and take control of the train. This prove to be frustrating, also making him feel like crap for not having enought courage, to straight up an tell them about what was going to happen on the train.
And what could he say. "Hey guys I know this sound crazy but Im from a different dimension and I know what about to happen, so just do what I tell you." Yeah like that would work. The possibilities of thing going wrong were high, oh an lets not forget about everything else that wasn't in the movie like the troops that died during missions. How was he supposed to just come out and say that he didn't say anything cause he didn't know but he knows about this here. And with him having no power to protect himself he would fine himself in a dark deep hole, force to spill all he knew. Which would no dough be a very bad thing for his heath an safety.

But the worse of it was that he come to consider all of them as his friends, and he hated himself for being a coward an powerless to stop it. He'd tried to convince James Howlett to stick with him after the war, but he was told he had something to do in Canada after but they would stay in contact. Just like he tried to change the plan for today, but with similar results. History it seem will not be easily change, an now he was watching two friends having what would be there last peaceful moment, before they would be torn apart in two very different lives, one frozen in time the other force in slavery and pain.
"We were right. Dr. Zola’s on the train. Hydra dispatcher gave him permission to open up the throttle. Wherever he’s going, they must need him bad." Gabe said as he put down the radio an getting ready for the zipline.
"Let's get going, because they're moving like the devil." Falsworth said as he motion the others to prepare, as the train came into sight.
" We only got about a 10-second window. You miss that window, we’re bugs on a windshield." Steve said as he grab his thing and getting in position.
"Mind the gap." Falsworth said in good humour.
"Better get moving, bugs." James said with a grin.
"Maintenant!" Dernier said in a loud voice as he wave his arms down.
Steve followed by Bucky, Gabe an finally Alex zip down across to the train. They all landed of the roof, Steve an Bucky signalled that they were going down. As Alex watch them together for what would be a very long time. He silently ask for forgiveness, this wasn't how he picture his time in the marvel universe. He thought he would be a superpower badass surrounded by his adoring harem. Instead he was a normal human with no powers, systems or other cheat like item. Curse to watch one major event to another powerless, as his friends march oblivious to their destiny.

He sometimes wonder if he had any watcher power, but the fact that he couldn't look into the past or see other hidden events point to him not having any watcher powers.
"Can't think on that for now I need to focus on the mission." Alex said quietly as he followed Gabe to the front. It wasn't long until they started to hear gun fire under the inside of the train. A hydra head came out in front, Gabe shot him straight in between the eyes.
As the came closer to the edge they slowed down to make sure their wasn't any hidden hydra soldier waiting in ambush. They could still hear gun fire from inside so they jump over to the next cart an keep on going. They were making good time when suddenly an explosion rock the train an they stumbled down on the roof, Gabe almost slip off down Alex moving fast grab on to him.
"Merci mon amis." Gabe said in a grateful tone. As he was being pulled back up.
"Nothing to it. Hey should we go back an check it out those two could be in need of are help." Alex said in a worried tone, he hope that Gabe would say yes an maybe they could make it in time to avoid Bucky fall.
"Can't, the sooner we stop the train the best it for all. Beside the capt already said not to stop for anything, Bucky their to help so no need to worrie. Lets go." Gabe said as he patted Alex shoulder and move back toward the front.
Alex look down in guilt, as it was eating him alive, he ask Bucky and Steve to forgive him for abandoning them to their path. His fists clench as was once more powerless to stop it. After that they made their way up in front, smash open the window and took Dr Arnim Zola prisoner. Only to learn after that Bucky was lost to them. And Alex rack with guilt in having stood aside an done nothing.
