In the Brooklyn laboratory, the air hums with anticipation as Dr. Abraham Erskine gives the signal. “Now, Mr. Stark.”

The table holding Steve Rogers rises and tilts, sliding him into a sleek, metallic chamber. Erskine raps on the casing, his voice steady. “Steven? Can you hear me?”

From inside, Steve’s muffled voice carries a hint of nervous humor. “It’s probably too late to go to the bathroom, right?”

Erskine allows a brief smile before turning to Howard Stark at the control panel. “We will proceed.”

Stark, focused on the dials, calls out the readings with precision. “That’s ten percent. Twenty percent. Thirty. That’s forty percent.” The machinery whirs louder, the chamber glowing faintly as the process intensifies.
