"How was it?" Howard asked Hector after he returned to the party, wearing a spare coat.

"How was what? Do you mean Miss Frost? *Sigh* Poor girl, she faced so much hardship in her life. I gave her a nice talking session and helped her with her problems."

Howard looked at his face stupidly, if it was him, he would have absolutely banged her, "You mean you didn't do it with her?"

??? "Why would I do it with her? I knew it was a trap from the start, she was doing it in helplessness. Anyway, why would any normal woman want to sleep with an old man if not for hidden intentions?" Hector said, indirectly advising him to be careful.

*Sip* Howard snorted after drinking, "Old man, if I was a woman, I would have genuinely fucke..."

"OKAY! You've had too many drinks. Take care, see you later." He didn't let him finish his words and quickly left, he'd rather not puke right now.

Trenches,

"Man, I wonder when Father will come here again." A soldier tiredly wondered.

There were three of them talking to each other, it was currently raining and was slightly cold. Not a very pleasant experience during a war.

The second soldier agreed, "I wish he was here. He could have already moved the battle into our favour. No General is as good as him. But he has too many responsibilities back home."

The third soldier sounded confused, "What? Your father is also fighting in the war?"

"Ah, you were from the 23rd infantry, right? You spent your entire time here so you don't know. All those who fought alongside Mr President, Grand General Washington, now call him Father." The first soldier explained.

And it was an enviable fact, "You guys are lucky, we here are just rotting in trenches."

"I heard he will be coming here soon, so I guess you will see him in the action as well, all we gotta do is to survive until then." the first soldier muttered, looking around himself, soldiers upon soldiers sat there, it was as depressing as it could get.

...

Hector first went to Mexico to meet the Mexican prime minister and tell him not to agree with Hitler's plan or face an invasion of Mexico and lose even more land. The Mexican prime minister turned out to be smart and knew that they could not defend against the American military, so they declared war on Axis instead.

Then he got on his plane to France to start the French invasion. The invasion from Normandy beaches was already being planned, he will be leading it to make the least amount of soldiers die this time, after all, they had Helicopters now, they could destroy the enemy bunkers with machine guns on the height easily. The only other problem was the artillery and tanks, they would deal with heavy bombing a day before.

Right as he headed to France to meet Rogers, Logan was already scouting the area around Normandy and mapping all enemy heavy guns.

...

Hector's plane landed near Italy and the French border, the SSR was camped here with a few battalions of soldiers. They were mainly focused on Hydra so it was enough for them.

"Right now? What about Hydra?" Steve questioned.

"Don't worry about them, I got a fool inside their camp passing me all the plans, they won't do anything major anytime soon." he left to gather a few more men, and possibly a woman.

...

Auschwitz,

"GET IN LINE!" guards shouted to many prisoners, including men, women and children. There were even small babies in women's arms.

"Why are we all going to take a bath?" A kid asked his father.

The man replied with some generic words and looked scared. "It's nothing, son. Everything will be fine, this is so we don't stay dirty from all the work."

Max Eisenhart sneered, knowing all too well what was going to happen, as he stood in line with his mother and father too. There was no hope left, death was imminent.

*BANG*

Just then, a loud gunshot resounded, dozens of soldiers came running, shouting commands, "FOLLOW US!"

Almost all of the people standing in line were dragged away, he as well, but amidst all the rush, he lost his parents, "MA! PA!" he shouted, only to get pushed by a soldier violently.

They were brought to a giant ditch soon after and told to enter it, "EVERYONE! ENTER, NOW!"

At gunpoint, none had any will to fight, they were weak anyway, so the strong man was always right. Silently, like chickens being put inside a cage to be slaughtered, they filled the ditch, only heads of those three hundred were visible due to the crowd, eyes darkened, face gloomy all looking at the guards, who returned the gaze with a look of disregard.

The gunmen started to arrive soon, one after another dozens of guns were pointed at them by noon. The intentions were clear, all the prisoners silently closed their eyes, some cried, some prayed to god.

Max Eisenhart didn't, he looked straight into the eyes of Chief Commandant, lieutenant colonel Rudolf Hoss, a true monster in human skin. The man who came to Auschwitz to supervise Operation Hss, in which 430,000 Hungarian Jews were to be transported to the camp and killed in two months.

~There is no god, only evil rules the world, the more evil one is, the stronger they are.~ Max Eisenhart spoke to himself in his mind, his eyes glaring and his fist shivering. He hated this feeling of helplessness, this weakness.

"There is no god. If there is a God, he will have to beg my forgiveness." He voiced, loud and clear.

*BANG BANG BANG...*

And so started a hailstorm of bullets to shower them all. Punching holes in their bodies like lifeless dolls. There were enough cries and calls for mercy, but that didn't stop the animals from committing heresy.

Men and women fell, and with loud wails, babies stated their farewells. Deaf were those ears on whom these voices fell, their hearts were dark and endlessly empty well.

[A/N: The last phrase Max said was actually carved on the walls of a concentration camp cell during WWII by a Jewish prisoner. In the original language it was "Wenn es einen Gott gibt mu er mich um Verzeihung bitten."]
