FRANKENSTEIN
25 | I won't back down.

Third Person
Twenty four hours after rebirth -

"She's different than before, doctor." Laura Marshall spoke up.

Both Patrick Carson, and Laura Marshall watched as a newly reborn Frankie sat upright on her bed staring at nothing. Occasionally her finger would twitch, and she'd blink her eyes - but other than that she gave no movement.

The two were starting to get worried about her, Laura on the girl's health, Patrick more so on whether or not his experiment had actually been a failure. The truth of the matter was project 2935Frankenstein was not only an attempt at bringing the dead back to life, but also to make a weapon.

A weapon capable of fighting off army's, given the chance.

"What about her brother, have we been able to locate him?" Patrick turned to the head agent.

"No, all leads are cut off at Germany. As far as we know HYDRA still has him in their clutches." Laura informed the scientist.

"Goddammit! We can't let HYDRA be successful with him! America cannot afford that!" Patrick yelled in outrage, that Russia may be gaining up on them.

Laura turned to look at him in disappointment. "These are your brother's children we are talking about. Your niece and nephew. You've brought your niece back from the dead and you don't even want to tell her family, her memory is completely gone, and you've renamed her Frankenstein! Your nephew has been kidnapped, and is being experimented on. And all you're concerned about is the fact that once they succeed in those experimentations they will have a weapon just as powerful. What is the matter with you!" The apparent disgust in her voice was evident.

"What's the matter with me? I just brought my niece back from the dead because I cared for her so much! Don't you get it, she is no longer who she used to be, she is a weapon! And my fucking so called 'hero' of a brother, has no need to believe she is anything other dead!" He screamed at Laura his face contorting into anger.

Laura looked at him, livid that he could say such things about his own family. In seconds Patrick pulled out his phone, and began typing things on the extremely futuristic looking phone.

"What are you doing now." Laura whispered the words, her voice eerily quiet.

"Something I should have done long ago." After he said that he clicked a button, causing a loud clicking noise to erupt from somewhere in the room.

It took Laura a few moments before she realized the noise was coming from Frankie's head. Frankie immediately looked up locking gazes with the scientist. Her expression was blank, not an ounce of emotion on her face.

"Your name is Frankenstein. You protect SHARE and the American people. You are a weapon to help both grow and defend the United States Of America. The protection of America and it's people come before all else, including your own life." Patrick spoke to Frankie coldly.

"Affirmative." She spoke back, voice void of emotion.

Quickly after, Patrick pressed another button on his phone, stopping the loud noise coming from Frankie's head. In an instant Frankie fell back against the bed, sufficiently knocked out.

"What the hell was that?" Laura screamed running to Frankie's side, checking her pulse.

"That was the chip, I just added a new instinct to her. Protect America above all else. As long as that chip is implanted in her mind she will never be able to go against SHARE." Patrick told her as he looked to his niece.

No, this was not his niece anymore. His niece was dead, this was 2935F. The savior of America, America's greatest weapon.

"I can't believe you. Why? She is your niece and you may have brought her back, but you have stripped her of the person she used to be." Laura scoffed, tears building in her eyes.

"Yes, and her death brought me so much grief - but I knew she was special. You see before she died she had a 'gift' of sorts. At first we thought she was simply creating imaginary friends, but when they stuck around into her teen years we knew it was something else. My niece had the ability to communicate with the dead, it had been spirits she was encountering her entire life. Not everyone can be brought back you see, but I knew from the start Frankie would be able to be brought back." He explained to the agent.

"Did you kill her!" Laura accused reaching for her gun.

"Of course not, despite what you may think I do love my niece! When she died under my roof, I was devastated! And I was not going to let the chance of bringing her back slip through my fingers." Patrick stated walking out of the room. "Carlisle said he'd be here in a minimum of two weeks." He added just as he left the room completely.

With a shake of her head Laura grasped Frankie's hand in her own. "Goodbye Jolene Carson." She whispered the words, as she let go of her hand. "And hello Frankie." She stood up walking out the door.

"Look at this shit my brother does." Patrick said to himself as he watched his brother's familiar face on the television screen.

His brother was currently sat in front of the supreme court, his trial taking place on live television. The country wanted his suit, his 'Iron Man' suit, and his brother being himself refused to give it to them.

"You all know my youngest daughter died not even four days ago, and my son has been kidnapped by a Russian terrorist group, right. I mean it was all over the news and everything." Anthony Carson spoke sarcastically to the court.

"Yes, we are aware, and we are very sorry for your loss Mr. Carson, we are working endlessly in attempt to locate your son." One man in the court said with sincere gaze.

"Obviously not, if you're forcing me to be here instead of with my family." He raised a brow.

The audience of the court included news stations, officials of America, and every day people who simply wanted to witness this huge trial being broadcasted world-wide.

"We understand, but we truly do need to talk about the suit." He said to him, earning a ferocious look in return.

"Your welcome I guess." Is all Anthony said, shaking his head.

"For what?" Another man of the court asked with attitude.

"Because, I'm your nuclear deterrent. It's working, we're safe. America is secure. You want my property? You can't have it! I did you a big favor though, I have successfully prioritized world peace." Anthony stood from his chair facing the crowd holding peace signs with his fingers. "I'm tired of all these ass clowns!" Anthony motioned to the supreme court earning cheers of agreement and a loud round of applause, everyone obviously on the 'Iron Mans' side.

"Fuck you, Mr. Carson. Fuck you, buddy." A member of the supreme court yelled, sticking his middle finger up causing all chaos to break loose.

"We are adjourned for the day, goodbye Mr. Carson!" Another member of the court frantically yelled wanting this ruckus to come to a conclusion.

Anthony Carson simply stuck his middle finger up at them walking out the doors proudly, a round of applause and cheers following after him.

"I can't believe these people cheer for that ass." Patrick shook his head switching the television off.
