4 years ago, in 1941, Poland.
Hector had gone deep into German territory after saving Erskine and had taken the uniform of a German officer. He infiltrated the city of Krakow, it was swarming with German soldiers, swastika flags were everywhere, Jewish men were made to sweep the streets, factories were constantly spewing fumes out of the chimnies.
He was stopped multiple times but thanks to his fluent german he was able to get away, along with his various skills it became easier, but his height was his biggest disadvantage. It was like a spotlight constantly putting himself under attention.
Still, he was able to do what he came for. With the help of a Jewish worker, he passed on a letter to Oskar Schindler. A German industrialist and a member of the Nazi Party. He was initially a cold-hearted man but slowly his heart changed as he saw the treatment the Jews and various other social groups were getting just for the sake of existing.
So, he started saving them from being sent to camps by employing them in his enamelware and ammunition factories in occupied Poland and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. He was a smart-looking tall man, exactly what Hitler wanted Aryans to be, so he used his status as a party member, a rich industrialist to make good relations with high ranking army officials.
Getting the status of the essential industry was a major help for his factories, and since Jews didn't get any pay and it decreased the price of the product, he was able to employ them. However, he could not keep on adding more, his funds and influence were limited. At most, he could employ a few thousand.
One day, in his office in the factory, he received a letter. It was written in English, a language not all knew, he did though, "Meet me outside the city under the west bridge at 3 AM."
Initially, he didn't want to go, but curiosity got the better of him. No German would have written a letter in English, that was his reasoning. When he finally arrived, he was taken aback at first due to the uniform of an SS General, but then he saw the face.
"W-what... how? Is this a joke?" he muttered.
Hector chuckled, "Hah, you are seeing the real deal, boy. I am Hector King Washington. Now, I want to talk to you about expanding your saving operations."
They talked for an hour, detailing the plan to expand Oskar's industries from just Poland to the entire Nazi-occupied and influenced region, where there were concentration camps, his factories would be set up. "Don't worry about the money, I will use the American national fund and also my personal funds. And about getting you acquainted with a more powerful man, I have someone in mind. If everything goes well, you will soon have the most beloved German General helping you.
"Son, good luck, you are doing god's work. Once the war is over, you are invited to come and live in the US."
After this meeting, when the US entered the war and was fighting in Africa, Hector met a man secretly, a German five-star equivalent General, the most decorated officer of Germany, Erwin Rommel, popularly known as the Desert Fox.
But after his defeat and injury in Africa, he was recalled to Germany. He would later be accused of being the leader of the military's resistance against Hitler, also known as the 20 July plot. Hitler won't die but Rommel will be forced to commit suicide. Hector changed his mind by using his demon power by scaring him to death. His existence as a demon worked wonders on atheists as they quickly realise that God is real, hell is real and they know what they did would take them to hell.
"Are you good with touring India? There will be no upcoming war anyway," he asked, facing Logan.
Logan nodded with a grunt, "Sure, I can see the land of ancients. But Moon-"
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! No, Moony stays here, he's my son. No matter how much you like the fluffy boy, he won't come with you," Hector was fully protective of him.
"Fine, but when the work is near completion, send him for a month's tour, I'm sure he wants to see Asia," Logan applied a different strategy.
Moony himself would have said no to staying away from his dad for a year, but a month of adventure? That was acceptable, "Woof!" he agreed.
Hector eyed Logan with angry eyes, ~Boy, you're playing a dangerous game,~
~I like danger,~ Logan stared back. It was a war of silent words.
*Cough* "I will prepare for my departure," Roosevelt interrupted.
"Good, I have a few more documents, give them to the prime minister, it's about the region's development plan in accordance with my future policies and... *BAM*" Hector was also interrupted, the Secretary Of Defence barged in.
The man's face seemed pale, "Mr President, Mr Roosevelt, it's bad news. Captain America, he's... he's missing in action over the arctic, he was trying to stop the Hydra plane with nuke-like bombs."
*Sigh* "What about Agent Carter and Phillips?" Hector asked further.
The man looked sadder, "Agent Carter was fine, but... General Phillips, was shot by Schmidt at the last moment while he tried to help Captain America jump into the plane. General's car fell down the cliff at the end of the hidden mountain runway."
Steve's news was expected, he knew the man was alive, but this one broke his heart. Phillips was a good man, old, but good, ~The butterfly has moved once again. I ended the war much earlier, too many changes occurred.~
"Prepare for a grand funeral, they deserve a proper rest. They saved America from total destruction, I won't let their names be shrouded in secrecy," he strictly ordered. This time, he won't be keeping Hydra's existence a secret either. The world should know what was the real threat behind the scenes of this war.
