5 WWII Starts

On September 7th, 1939.

"We're at war!!"

That was something quickly spreading in New York.

But not just New York, it was most of earth's inhabitants.

World War 2 have come.

In fact large scales of war have been happening for a while, but the Americans were against going to war so Franklin D. Roosevelt didn't declare war or send any Americans soldiers to fight the Germans.

But the current president did supply the allies with weapons.

The french and British have been having small and large scales of war even after WW1 against the Germans, Italy, and Japan.

The Germans, in other words, Nazi, have been invading small lands trying to up their manpower and territory.

Benito Mussolini who was leading Italy have seen how far Hitler has been progressing and wanted to do the same, but the allies have had more luck stopping him than Hitler.

Japan is angry about the allies taking advantage of them and cutting their oil and practically forcing them to trade even when they wanted to close of their borders.

The Russians was sandwiched between Germany and Japan and is being smushed as the British and French tried their best to help while also freeing the lands the Nazis and Italy have captured.

But the Russians got lucky when the Germans slowed down immensely due to the cold winter suddenly arriving, but Hitler got arrogant and didn't halt his advance on the Russians.

This sudden pause for the Germans gave time to the Russians to bring in experts on the Siberian front to fight in the cold, and the Russians finally pushed back.

It wasn't until the Japans bombed Pearl Harbor that Roosevelt and Winston Churchill declared war on Japan.

Hitler also declared war on America.

Now each nations were on war and the innocent residents were suffering on the sides.

Now the American military was heading out for Japan.

Now with America entering the war and keeping the Japan occupied, the Russians, British, and the French focused on the big Germans and Italy.

Though at the moment nobody knows that a little small group Hitler is betting on would be the Allies hardest fight.

When Steve and Bucky heard about the war, they were both taking art classes to pass some time.

Alfie was in the famous Blue Ribbon restaurant being an executive chef in charge of the kitchen yelling at the new recruits when his boss, the owner, ran in yelling about the war.

Alfie smiled thinking it was about time.

He thought by the time they would finish high school, WW2 would start, but it has been a few years.

So long he was now in charge of this kitchen in New York.

••••••

"It's all right, you can try again later, but for now I suggest you pick something up and learn so the military could see your worth." Bucky said.

"But that's not what they are worried about, they said I was too...too small." Steve said looking upset.

"Well then we'll take as much time needed to make you not small." Bucky joked.

"You don't think I've tried?" A voice suddenly joined the two.

"Al, okay we really have to find a way to contact you, because you can't just show up when you want to and we can't when we want to reach you." Bucky said to Alfie.

"You were looking for me?" Alfie asked.

"Yeah." Steve said.

"Well what's up?" Alfie asked.

"We wanted to tell you that we are enlisting to the army." Steve said.

"You are? Hmm yeah I wanted to talk to you guys about the sudden war too." Alfie said.

"Guess you two were already thinking far ahead on it." Alfie said.

"Yeah, we enlisted but only I was accepted, Steve's enlistment on the other hand was denied." Bucky said putting his arms around Steve's neck.

"You were denied?" Alfie asked.

"Let me guess you were too scrawny right? Hahahahaha!!" Alfie laughed at that.

Bucky crossed his arms raised an eyebrow and looked at Alfie in a hopeless manner, while Steve just ignored Alfie's teasing walking away from the two.

The two walked after Steve following him, Bucky bumped his elbow on Alfie getting his attention.

"Did you have to do that? You know he was actually looking forward to enlisting more than me." Bucky said.

"I know, that's how he is, but I'm sure he will get in soon enough, but for now I feel like having fun with him, hehehe." Alfie said.

"Well just take it easy on him." Bucky said.

"So that's why you were talking about getting bigger right?" Alfie asked.

"Yeah, I was planning on getting him through a few exercises and other activities to maybe nuff him up a bit." Bucky said, though his face seems unsure.

"Aren't you going off to camp to do basic training?" Alfie asked looking at Bucky like an idiot.

"Oh, right." Bucky said forgetfully.

"Yeah, why don't you go do your training and leave Steve to me, I'll give him some lessons and fatten him up." Alfie said.

Bucky looked at Alfie worriedly.

"What?" Alfie asked.

"Nothing, it's just that your methods of teaching is a little..."

"A little what?" Alfie asked.

"Well you did teach us a few moves back in the days, but you do it the hard way." Bucky said.

"What do you mean the hard way? Look, don't worry about it, I promise I'll go easy on Steve, but you need to be careful the war is just starting and the higher ups are eager to send out some recruits early.

You might be one of them, just come see us before you deploy or anything, yeah?" Alfie said.

"I'll try, oh right, we were gonna ask if you plan on enlisting at all." Bucky said.

"Yeah, that was the plan, but for now I'll stay with Steve and work with him, when he makes the enlistment I'll join him." Alfie said.

"Alright, but try not to tease him too much." Bucky said.

"Hahahaha of course not."

••••••••

"Right!!"

*Pah*

"Another!!"

*Pah*

"One, Two!!"

*Pah*

*Pah*

"You're slowing down, give me a left!!"

*Pah*

"Left!!"

*Pah*

"Left!!"

*Pah*

"Left!!"

*Pah*

"Left!! Left!! Left!! Left!!"

••••••

"Faster!! Faster!! Faster!!"

••••••

"Wrong!! Next question, this is a question about strategy and tactics, when you are surrounded by all sides and on the left side is a...."

June 14th, 1943.

For sometime now Alfie trained Steve in a few things, mostly fighting but he also told him to study as he questioned him on some basic military knowledge.

Its been about a two to three years since Bucky went to camp and started his training, but for a while now he is most likely in the battlefield already.

While Alfie trained him and such, Steve also took some time to travel to other cities and enlisted a few times.

Both of them were now on a boxing ring.

Steve was on the floor with arms and legs open and panting for air.

Alfie crossed his arms looking at the exhausted Steve.

Not one bit has he grown an inch or any fat, a little bit of muscle....but only a little bit.

"At least you've improved on your form." Alfie said with a smile.

"Come on." Alfie reached his hand down as Steve took it and got up.

"So you have any plans tonight Rogers?" Alfie asked.

"Not tonight, I'm going to go try again." Steve said.

"Again? What is this your 5th time?" Alfie asked.

"Yes, I can't just sit around as a war wages around the countries.

I have to pull my own weight, I can't just sta-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down I was just asking, I'm not trying to convince you otherwise." Alfie said.

"Sorry, I'm just..."

"Frustrated I know, but don't worry Steve, I feel you will be lucky soon." Alfie said.

"Om this one?" Steve asked.

"No the one right after, hahaha!!" Alfie joked again to which Steve rolled his eyes and shoved at him playfully.

But to Alfie's words, it will be true.

•••••••

"Well I'll be damned, look at you looking all fancy and shitt!" Alfie said.

"Me?! What about you?! I think you are starting to show hair on your jaw, although it looks a bit scruffy." Bucky said.

"Well you still have that baby face of yours, hahaha!!" Alfie said.

"Come here." The two hugged it out before they spent a few minutes talking about recent events in their lives.

"So where is Steve?" Bucky asked.

"Probably out getting beat up again." Alfie said.

"I thought you were taking care of him?" Bucky asked exasperated.

"I am, I've been working with him, he gained a few muscles but that's it, he left a few hours ago to enlist, again." Alfie said.

"Yeah I know, I got both yours and his letters." Bucky said.

"Yeah we're meeting him at the movies, lets go." Alfie said.

They got on a taxi before riding off.

During the ride Alfie asked questions about Bucky's training just as Bucky asks about Alfie and Steve's current lives.

"Sergeant?! Mothafuckah how the hell did you even get to the rank Sergeant so fast?!" Alfie asked.

"Well I'm a natural, you gotta know what you do and do it, but in the end you really can't do it like me." Bucky said with a smirk as he leaned back on the taxi and put his hand over the seat head.

"Well you definitely picked up arrogance if anything." Alfie said.

"It's not arrogance if you can back it up." Bucky smirked.

"Okay that's enough, I don't know who this Bucky is so I'm just gonna forget all this cockiness you're suddenly wearing." Alfie said to which they had a small laugh of.

"So, What's your plan? How long will you be here?" Alfie asked.

"Just tonight, I'm deployed first thing tomorrow to England." Bucky said.

"Tsk, and what the hell do you think you could do in just one night?" Alfie said crossing his arms.

"Well I actually have plans today, with a date." Bucky said.

"I'm also here to take you guys with me and spent the night together." Bucky said.

"Sorry Bucky, but I don't swing that way." Alfie said chuckling.

Bucky also laughed and punched Alfie on the shoulders.

•••••

"You just don't know when to give up do you?"

"I can do this all day."

In an alley Steve picked up a put his hand up on defense against the man trying to beat him.

Unlike the movie, Steve was able to keep up with this bully and get a few punches in thanks to Alfie's training.

The man threw a punch at Steve but Steve dodged to the side, although a bit exhaustedly, Alfie's punches were faster, and harder.

When he dodged it Steve took his learning in mind at that moment and aimed a left sharp hook to the mans right stomach stomach right on the liver.

The man fell to his knees and groaned as he tried to fight for some air.

"See? Told you he can handle himself, I didn't train him for about two years for nothing." Alfie said.

Steve looked up to see both Alfie and Bucky overlooking at his situation.

"Buck, your here." Steve walked up to Bucky giving him a light hug.

"Get up! How about you fight me instead?" Alfie said as he easily picked the man steve fought a moment ago.

Alfie was about to mess with the man more when Bucky just pushed the man out the alley away from Alfie's potential pounding.

"Dude? Don't just let my prey go like that." Alfie said.

The two just ignored him and caught up with each other.

Steve asked for Bucky's orders which in turned Bucky told him he was in the 107th infantry and is leaving tomorrow.

Steve was also informed of their plans, he was fine with it until he heard it would be another triple date plan of theirs.

••••••

"Blue Ribbon? That's a very expensive restaurant, you're saying you work as a chef there?" Alfie's date asked.

"Oh honey I'm not just "A" chef, I'm "THE" chef." Alfie replied.

"No way, you're too-" she paused.

"Too young? What you haven't heard of the concept of being young and successful?" Alfie said.

"Oh no it's just-"

"I'm just like our very own Howard Stark here, he is not that older than me and is also successful." Alfie said.

"Don't listen to him, he'll say anything to make himself sound good, hahaha." Alfie frowned and looked to the side.

Bucky and his date was on their left, and on Bucky's left is Steve and his date, though it don't seem like it.

Soon we walked up to a big stage where in bolted giant words had; Future World Exposition.

Which is really Stark Expo in the near future.

Alfie came to the back with Steve to have a small talk with him, plus no one really paying him any attention, plus there is the code of: Bros Before Hoes.

"So how was your enlistment?" Alfie asked.

Steve shrugged on the question not feeling like talking about it.

"That bad, huh?"

"I'm not gonna stop trying." Steve said.

"Oh I know my friend, but I have a feeling you won't need to keep trying soon." Alfie said.

"What do you mean?" Steve asked.

But Alfie didn't answer and only signaled to watch the stage as

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.Howard Stark." The lead dancing women announced.

The group now watched as Howard presented his floating car.

Though Alfie remembered it on screen but being up close is another experience, so much untold then when on the big screen.

But I the narrator am not gonna speak of these things that wasn't on the screen.

Alfie looked to the side and saw Steve offering some popcorn to his "date" but she just looked back at him in disgust or something.

And that made Alfie's chest burn, even without knowing about the movies Steve was one of the greatest guy one would meet yet he has only been getting scorns and negativity back.

Alfie reached for Steve's popcorn and grabbed a few before throwing it on her face.

She looked at Alfie in shock along with Steve and the others.

But he then froze realizing what he just did, then remembered how she looked at Steve, but he still needs to explain.

"Sorry I have this uum...compulsive disordererrrrr...thing..." Alfie said through the quietness of the group.

He then wraps Steve's neck with his arm and brought him away as Bucky calmed the bitc- girls down.

"Al! What was that? Why did you do that?" Steve asked in surprise.

"Eh, that bitch was just looking at you funny, I didn't like it." Alfie said side glancing at Bucky and the three girls.

"But you didn't need to do that, you can't just react like that when something harmless like that bothers you." Steve said doing one of his lectures.

"Oh spare me your divine righteousness for once Steven, I don't give a shitt if what she did was harmless or not, you don't deserve to be looked at like that by anyone." Alfie said.

Steve just sigh not knowing what to do with Alfie, this guy would make fun of him and Bucky at times but if someone else did it he would punch their teeth's out.

"Anyways I gotta go meet an old friend, I'll catch you later." Alfie said walking away.

Steve just nodded and looked around trying to find something to do, until he found a poster advertising recruits for the military.

•••••

As Howard Stark finished his presentations he walked out of stage into the curtains picking up a glass of champagne from a girl.

"Already a ladies man, see I told you it wouldn't take long." A voice sounded.

Howard turned to the side and his face warped into a bright smile when he saw Alfie.

"Alfred!! Hahaha it's been too long, where have you been?!" Howard said.

He rushed to Alfie and bear hugged him even though Alfie was bigger than him.

"Dude, I told you not to call me Alfred, call me Alfie or Al you bloody bastard." Alfie said, though smilingly.

"Why not? It's your given name, even after all this time you still don't like the name." Howard said.

"It's not that I don't like it, I just prefer Alfie or Al, I think Alfred should be left to some butler who is the king of sarcasm and a badass fucker." Alfie lost himself.

"Uuuuh yeah." Howard said.

"Hahahaha, so what are you doing here?" Howard asked.

"Ah nothing just came to enlist for the army." Alfie said.

"You're enlisting? Who would have thought." Howard muttered.

"Excuse me?" Alfie raised an eyebrow.

"No it's just that- you have so much imagination and ideas that I thought you would be inventing your own creations by now." Howard said.

Back in middle school Alfie "appeared" out of nowhere and met Howard.

Due to Howard being smart and everyone around him dumb fucks, he didn't have many friends.

Until Alfie, Alfred to him showed up and they became friends.

Alfie wasn't as smart as Howard but he was smart, what caught Howards attention was his mind.

Alfie "had" ideas and imaginations, things Howard never even thought of yet.

Alfie was smart enough to explain some of his ideas and answered all of Howards questions.

Howard would also speak of his thoughts and ideas.

After that Alfie would visit frequently until after high school, Alfie and Howard didn't see each other much.

During high school Howard was one of if not the smartest in New York, also young.

And caught the eyes of some higher ups, one thing led to another and he was now working with the allies.

"So I see you have been upgraded to flying cars now." Alfie said.

"Oh that's just the beginning, I'm helping the military for the war right now, but I'm working on something that might change the war for the better...or worse." Howard said.

"Hey if this thing you're working on can stop this war than that's better then letting it go on." Alfie said.

"Of course, but if this something I'm working on falls to the wrong hands it could just mean more destruction." Howard said.

Alfie looked at this Stark and thought about how careful he is more than his son.

"Tell me Stark, you ever thought about having a son?" Alfie suddenly asked.

"Oh come on Alfred, not this again, I dont have time for kids running around, and you bring this up every time you wanna avoid a conversation." Howard said.

"No I don't, we just finished our last topic so I moved on, to a more...potential matter." Alfie said.

"Well as your only friend these days you should just add my name into your child, hahahahah." Alfie said.

"I'm sorry but even if I were to ever see myself having a kid...I don't think I'll ever name them Alfred..." Howard said smirking.

"Haha very funny, anyways I'm gonna go to the enlistment office over there, here." Alfie said and handed Howard a small paper.

"What is this?" Howard asked.

"A symbol." Alfie said.

Howard opened the folded paper and looked through it, he seemed to have a few thoughts about the subject in the papers as he was nodding off.

"This is-"

"Yes." Alfie replied.

"And what makes you think I would have any of these materials lying around and all?" Howard asked.

"Oh please you're working with the government, I doubt you're running out of anything these days, anyways I'll come visit you every once in a while, bye Stark." Alfie said and walked away.

"Al wait what are you planning to do wi-" Before Howard could finish, he lost Alfie on the corner as he just disappeared, again.

"Why does he always do that." Howard muttered as he turned back walking away.

••••••

"Steve, where's Buck?" Alfie asked as he walked up to Steve standing in front of the enlisting building.

"Oh uuh, he just left, he tried to look for you but couldn't find you, he said his farewells to you." Steve said.

"Oh, well I hope we see that bastard again soon." Alfie said.

"Yeah." Steve muttered.

"I knew I'd find you here, so have you tried for your 6th time yet?" Alfie asked.

"You know 6th time is a charm." Alfie joked.

"Yeah we'll see about that." Steve said as he walked into the building followed by Alfie.

As Alfie followed he noticed Doctor whats-his-name standing there pretending he wasn't just eavesdropping on Steve for a few minutes.

As Steve walked past him Alfie slowed down and dipped his head down in greetings at Doctor Erskine.

The Doctor lightweight panicked but calmed down a second later bowing his head as well.

"You're enlisting too?" Steve turned around and asked as he noticed Alfie following.

"Yuup, I'm kind of tired of waiting for your repeated enlistment rejections, so I'm enlisting with you on this one, so if you don't make it I guess me and Buck will go on without ya." Alfie said.

Steve nodded but the hope of getting in this time was in his eyes, he doesn't wanna get left behind while men die, including his two closest friends.
