A classroom watches the holoprojector..

On the screen everyone was very quiet as an older male spoke, "Mr. Priest.. Yes I just literally made a deal with the devil.. I know she is lying to me.."

"Son.." The older black comic book writer swallowed hard, "You cant trade your.."

"Mr. Priest.. Agent Beorgan.. She thinks I am idiot.. I know she's lying.. " The red haired man had a venom like suit surround him.. Everyone gasp, "My name is Arkady Calloway.. " The camera's and the phones blinked, "I have been working for the united states government.. But.. This.. The super powered zombies are about to break through.. She cant stop them and needs someone like me.. I know .. I am no fool.. Her promise is worthless.. I go for all of you.. For my friends.. And for my pregnant mistress.." The venomized male speaks, "I have to go.. My mother is Ms. Calloway pensacola Florida.. My high priestess is June flowers.. Please tell them why I go.. Before my Pagan a$$ goes and does this.. Sir.. I know you are a Preacher.. " the man bows his head, "There are NO atheist in a foxhole.. Will you say a prayer before I go.."


"We have a deal, " The female demon responds.. "I do not break my word.."

Christopher Priest bows his head after putting his hand on Calloway's shoulder.. "You can wait Malevolence. God picks his soldiers in mysterious ways.. Superpowered Zombies.." After a moment, "All of you bow your heads.. " After everyone but the demoness bows their head, "Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory...."

A red haired teenager shook her head as Priest completes the prayer..

"A-men ra," Bartell covers her mouth..

"Ms. Bartell," The teacher speaks..

"Mam we know the story.. He left with the demoness.. The US Government and everyone tried to say it was fake news or staged.." Little Ms. Bartell spoke, "On this day sixteen years ago.. In the middle of another stupid congressional meeting.. Because Orangeman bad.."

"Excuse me.. Trump was one of the worst things that happened to this," The teacher stopped herself.. "Cute Ms. Bartell. Trying to get me in trouble under the Cruz act.."

Bartell grinned, "What.. that is the day the world found out that we were not alone.."

On the holoscreen a new image appears..

[Image: 67b8638102b24bdd6c40f6feef767120.jpg]

An older man with four stars interrupted congress after stepping through a wormhole..

"Is this the homeworld of Arkady Calloway," General ross stepped out..

He was followed By Frank castle and six pall bearers carrying a casket..

"Excuse me," Pelosi spoke..

Castle drew his side arm and fired into the air, "The general asked a question.."

"Castle," Rogers spoke.. "Ladies and Gentlemen of congress.. We return.. " Rogers choked up himself, "We return this soldier home.. The watchers gave us his body.. He died so we could all live.."


Castle walked over to a man in a Naval Uniform.. "You.. you four star.. We need an honor guard.. Agent Beorgan.. Lt. calloway, US Navy is home.." Castle has tears fall down his face, "f#$%ing idiot.. knocked me out.. shoved.. Shoved me through the portal.. He.. God D@#4 idiot.."

Senator Crenshaw swallowed hard as he stepped forward, "Castle..  What the F#$% happened Jarhead.."

On the screen General ross played the scene.. Superpowered zombies tried to break through.. 

"Win.. Bastards.. You are right.. My world hos no superpowered people.. I am the only F#$%ing.. But trust me.. We are not nice people.." The venom looking Agent Beorgan responded, "We will kill you all.. As we proceed to conquer.. We are not the noce type of american.. Hell right now we are arguing over the right to kill each other over melatonin amounts.. Give us a real god D@#$ enemy and watch what happens.."

The class actually watches the scene .. Even the teacher is very quiet..

They watch the file for the next five minutes as it plays..

The next scene shows Agent Beorgan getting fried by a zombified human torch.. Calloway with third degree burns and no symbiote picks up a gun and blows the human Torches head off.. Castle is knocked out cold, "Drag him through.. Looks like this is a one way ticket.."

Senator Crenshaw closes his good eye, "I accept custody of Lt. Calloway's body Castle.."

Several former veterans in congress take the place of the pall bearers.

"Castle it is not your fault," Rogers puts his hand on castle Soldier.. "You two held that dimensional bridge for ten minutes.. "

Castle looked down, "We could have made it Cap.."

"son.. At the start of the mission.." General ross took a deep breath, "You were not told.. The Navy Lt. knew damn well one you had to stay behind and detonate all the nuclear bombs of that world.. Ten hut.." General ross called out as the former paul bears came to attention.. "Salute.."

Bartell swallowed hard.. Shaking it off, "We all know what happened.. Lt. Calloway was buried at Naval Recruit training command great lakes.. "

the teacher took a deep breath, "And.."

"That Frank castle put a gun to the head of the sec nav.. Told him to not try and find his friends child with his mistress.. Save a slot for him or her at annapolis.." Bartell shook her head, "We are that class.. "

"The US Government honored that request.." Taking a moment the teacher took a deep breath, "Mr. Chrisotpher Priest turned Mr. calloways missions into a six volume, 100 page trade paper back.. Which were translated into movies and a TV show.. The money went where Mr. calloway wanted it to go.. Rebuilding the Innercities into real cities of tomorrow.. "

"There are rumors that the US military after starting a supersoldier program still tried to find his child," Bartell looked at the clock..

"No one found the mistress," The teacher took a deep breath.. "Why she never came forward is beyond me.. Legally that money would of been hers.. " sighing, "That is why the US Military is here giving its speech... The imperialist th... They are here in the hopes one of you is his child.."

The bell rang and all the kids grabbed their books..

"Remember .. The us military is here today.. For its recruitment speech, " The teacher's voice was ignored as the students left the classroom..

Bartell looked at holoprojector screen, as the scene played out..

Fat bottom girls played at the funeral, as every sailor and marine had a beer in their hands..

"It would have been cool to meet him.." Bartell walks outside of the classroom..

"Sammy Bartell," A man in a commander's uniform took deep breath.. "Let me be honest.. You do not have the grades.. You might can try ROTC at the community college.. After a few years.. Maybe the DoN can speak with you.."

"that is some bulls#$%.. You can save a slot for some dumb kid.. You do not base every decision on merit.." Sammy Bartell moved her black hair aside.. "I guess Mr. Calloway was correct.. You are a bunch of cant cu$#s.."


An older lady chuckled then walked over, "Sammy.."
[Image: 65aa931af5856cc638c536faaf623fb9.jpg]

"Nana.." Sammy looked down, "The navy started it.."

"Mam.. You grand daughter is upset she does not have what it takes.." The commander closed his briefcase, "And she needs to learn manners.."

"So she is not good enough for your navy," The old woman winked at Sammy..

"Mam.."

"Her father died a true hero.. Surprised the F#$% out of me I learned a F#$%ing lot that D@#$ day," Nana grinned as the chief of police came into the building.. "It is Ok Sammmy .. From now on make sure you add to your argument.. They never found his.. How did he put that.."

"That old battle axe of a b#$%^ of a commanding officer," Sammy grinned..

"We.. Mr. Priest books where a fictionalised account.. The Navy and DoD are not that corrupt.."

"Then why did the DoD try and stop the production of a comic book," Sammy responded..

Sighing, "A conspiracy theorist..." The commander shook his head," The whole set of children.. Listen.. Lets be honest .. the kid is probably being trained off in the middle of nowhere.. By the best of the best.."

"Nana," The Chief of Police chuckled at a private joke.. "Dont forget Sammy.. The military lost Calloways Congressional Medal of honor.."

The commander was not very happy.. "That .. It was stolen from great lakes museum.."

"Did not the note read.. the flag and medal have been given to the mother of his child.. F#$% you all," Nana responded..

The commander shook his hand, "Mam.. It is not a joke.."

"Why are you not in command of a ship Commander Lowery," Sammy asked?

"It is none of your buisness.." Lowery shook his head taking a few steps.. Looking both ways, "Become a GS kid.. I did the right thing.. For the right reason.. So they shoved me out in the middle of nowhere... this is my last stop and I begin my.."

Commander Lowery stops and blinks..

The chief laughs, "Sammy.. Looks like Nana wants to talk to the Commander.."

Sammy Bartell gives nana a hug, "Recruiting again.. Always weirdly.. Love you nana.. Uncle Johnny.." Smiling evilly, "Good luck Commander.. Nana is evil to her bones.. She is the county boss.."

Sammy goes to her friends, with the commander standing there..

"Walk with me," Nana spoke after the kids had left..

The chief of police took his cell phone and briefcase, "They will be in your car.." Johnny left with the items..

Taking a very deep breath, Lowery whispers, "Admiral.."

"Go ahead and ask.."

"Mam.. She is.. I reviewed her records her father died two years after.." The commander hit his forehead, "His wife was Arkady's mistress.."

"You want to know the funny thing.. I met Nick fury and deadpool.." Nana smiled as she walked, "Arkady left the bastard four chimichangas in the deep freezer.. Said he was a man of his word.."

The commander took a moment, "The nick fury and.." Lowery chuckled, "Was it true Admiral.. His notes.."

"Mr. Priest accurately portrayed every mission," The admiral waved to teachers..

"Mam.. I.. " taking deep breath, "Your style of command.. I.."

"Well.. The problem is this," The Admiral smiled.. "We will be talking elsewhere a little more secured.."

A micro dart hit the commander in the neck, with her helping him sit down..

"Have a seat.. "

The Admiral's phone rings, "Answer.."

A woman's voice fills the air,"Nan.. It.."

"I know girl.. It gets harder every day," The admiral responded calmly.. "Turn off the Net pour me a glass I am on my way.. Sammy is fine.."

"She has his attitude.. She gets more and more like him every day," The womans voice filled the air.
