Cyberlife Human Experimentation AU // Stolen Childhood

Markus (designated RK200) was Cyberlife’s second entry in a secret, experimental program created to push the limits of human augmentation, modification, behavioral conditioning, and prosthetics with the end goal of creating covert enforcers. 

All subjects had an LED implanted in their right temple on induction, designed to provide real-time readouts for hormone levels, brain activity, and GPS tracking. Once their number, or designation, is decided they must respond to the number. Their name is rarely used.

Markus, or RK200, excelled in education and physical training and produced promising results upon surviving multiple rounds of endurance testing. Behavioral modification was still on-going when he began to fail simulated field testing.

He would not kill. 

Repeated attempts at correction were unfruitful, and despite promises to perform better (be good; he promised t̵o̸ ̸b̸e̴ ̴g̶o̶o̷d̵), he still could not purposefully kill or harm. 

His future as a complete RK was stalled, and he was converted to a training asset. Future RKs and other subjects trained against him, to sharpen their skills. He also continued as a template for testing body modifications, behavioral correction, and various chemical and physical agents, to ensure their viability for later RK candidates.

Markus? Was a kind and curious heterochromatic boy who always struggled to live-up to the rules Amanda imposed. He was never to say he was hungry. He was never to cry. He was never to question her. He was never to disobey. 

He wasn’t good, at obeying. He was almost never silent.

Amanda’s tenuous favor became relatively nonexistent when he was too compassionate to live up to her inhumane demands. He struggled, with the loss of it, somehow feeling less stifled, yet strangled at the same time.

Verse notes:

Depending on how old Markus is during threads, his legs may have been replaced by prosthetics from the knees down. 

Escaping plots give me absolute life and Markus would try, and he would try to take as many people with him as he could.

There are other children in this program, RKs and otherwise. The level of interaction between them depends on plotting. The children may be kept isolated except during training OR they may have some areas, like cafeteria, etc OR they might be kept as roommates. Potential!

Summary: 

After being approached by Daisy Johnson, Bucky Barnes agreed to work with her to set up their own intelligence agency, using the resources a retired Nick Fury left them. They have been recruiting agents and taking care of situations without dealing with the red tape and political bureaucracy that S.H.I.E.L.D. has to abide by. Their extensive resources and loyalist make them a deadly force that is working to ensure hidden threats to tear the world apart.

Notes:

This verse can take place anywhere from post Original Sin (I say this lightly because I don’t really take a lot of this event into canon at all) through Kyle Higgins’ run. 

For the most part, only closer friends of Bucky really know he’s alive, as well as anyone within the spy community. But Bucky will go out of his way to not make a public scene. (He’s a wanted war criminal in several countries.)

Think of Bucky like Nick Fury. It is part of his job to know what everyone is doing, what everyone is after, and could probably tell you the exact time of day Tony Stark takes a potty break.

Most general threads with mutual RP partners will be put into this verse.

Summary:

Bucky Barnes has spent his entire life escaping death. When Sin set out to kill him, she didn’t succeed. Nick Fury was able to save Bucky’s life with his last dosage of Infinity formula, but without any new dosages of the formula, his heart is a ticking clock. His heart is starting to deteriorate. He’s known this for awhile now, but he continues to put his life on the line everyday–every heart-stopping adventure possibly being his last. 

What will it take to make Bucky face his death and find a solution to save his life?

Notes:

This verse will take place after Kyle Higgins’ WS run and will be a mix of some comic canon as well as my own.

I've written drabble to start off this verse. Feel free to read through it.

Feel free to IM me, reply or like this post, or hit like on this starter call if you’re interested.

Summary: After stealing the shield and getting into a fight with Tony, Bucky was given the mantel of Captain America (despite not wanting it). And when Steve returned from the "dead”, he asked Bucky to continue to wield the shield. So now he spends his time fighting along side the Avengers, while still trying to escape the sins of his past.

Notes:

While I have this verse set after Steve comes back, I am more than willing to do before as well.

Aside from Fury, Tony, Natasha, Sharon, Sam and Steve, no one know about Bucky’s past as the Winter Soldier.

Summary: The Winter Soldier was trained and conditioned to be the best spy Russia had in their arsenal. A Cold War Myth who’s name is synonymous with death. He is as effective an army, having the ability to topple governments if needed. The soldier also trained some of Russia’s most brutally effective agents, rendering him one of Russia’s most irreplaceable assets.

Notes:

He will not hesitate to fatally wound your muse if the need arrises.

He will not know your muse or have a break in his programing unless we have plotted something out or he knows your muse in canon during this time.

Summary: Straight from the front lines of WWII, this eighteen-year-old is by far the best at what he does. He has to be in order to keep up with the Invaders; he’s only human after all. We all know how this story end, even our young soldier knows too, but don’t worry about that. Despite what his future self told him about the future, he still plans on going out with a bang. Besides, who wouldn’t want a cool metal arm?

Notes:

I can be flexible with his age (anywhere from 16-20).

Time travel is fun, and young Buck isn’t a stranger to it!

MAINVERSE - TAGGED: [ v:idlehands ]

SUMMARY:

Nick Fury has disappeared. His enemies hope he's dead; those who knew him know better. So with the world's best spook in the wind, who's there to ensure the world keeps turning?

Bucky Barnes has taken it upon himself to fill the job opening. (It's not like anyone else was going to do it.) Now he's the man that has an eye on everyone and knows everyone's business--clandestinely protecting the human race from itself.

NOTES:

The number of characters that know Bucky is alive is less than concrete. So if you're not sure where your character stands, [ this post ] is a good reference point, or you're always free to [ ask me ]. If your character does not know Bucky is alive, please remember to take that into account upon interaction.

I feel like I should also clarify that this verse is my rewrite of 616. I don't read the current on-going for Bucky, and I don't intend to. So please take that into account.

MAJOR ARCS

Make a Heaven of Hell

Picket Fence Verse || Timeline

Reposting the timeline for the Picket Fence Verse I have with blackslavicspider.

Sticks to 616 canon for the most part, but the first big difference is that Zemo never leaks the information about Bucky’s past as the Winter Soldier

Fear Itself still happens, Bucky’s career as Cap ends after he is attacked an nearly killed by Sin but has no need to fake his death

Widow Hunt still happens, Natasha loses her memories of Bucky

Bucky does solo stuff, starts a relationship with Elizabeth {still needs a last name}. Elizabeth is ex-KGB. She became a double agent for the CIA and is very close friends with Nick Fury because of this.

Natasha has her memories back of Bucky; they attempt an awkward friendship which eventually leads to them getting back together and Bucky breaking up with Elizabeth…but not before Elizabeth finds out she is pregnant with their son (DUN DUN DUN!!!)

Maxim “Max” Barnes is born!

Natasha and Bucky have a forced huge public wedding (fucking Avengers/SHIELD PR people).

Nat/Bucky have Rose Rebecca Barnes! (Max is 9 years old)

Bucky trains SHIELD agents so that he can more or less be a stay at home dad.

FURY FAKES HIS DEATH! But before he “dies,” he asks Bucky to take the job of director when it is offered to him.

Buck becomes director of SHIELD

James Grant Nicholas Barnes is born! (Rose is 3 years old, and Max is 12 years old.)

Nat/Bucky have a second and far more personal wedding. (Grant is 3/4, Rose is 6/7 and Max is 15/16.)

Elizabeth is killed; Max is 16. Max goes to live with Bucky, Nat and family.

Max graduates from high school goes on to become a police officer.

Max gets kidnapped by baddie (some enemy of Bucky)…baddie thinks they’re clever and cuts of Max’s left arm. [Max refers to himself as Luke Skywalker. Rose calls him Robocop from then on.]

CYBERNETIC HEART FAILURE!!!

Max becomes a detective for the NYPD; Rose graduates high school and joins the Air Force.

Max get’s kicked out from the force b/c of his alcoholism (don’t worry he gets cleaned up)

Grant graduates high school and goes into the SHIELD academy

Natasha convinces Max to join SHIELD.
