Marvel owns all characters except this storyline and John Franklin Castle 

Rose Van Helsing- @Purple-Slime

I live a confusing yet exciting life, sometimes in this life the areas between good and evil are blurred. In a world where superheroes used to dominate one would wonder how the world ended this way. The American government was deceived, seized, and overtaken by the big bads Doctor doom, the Red Skull, Hulk and the Hulk gang, Sabertooth, shocker, and the Hellfire club. My name John Castle and this is my story

                                       Washington, D.C. two days ago

                                        Ryan Smith POV 8 months ago

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. It was complete bullshit I thought to myself as I get off the stand, walking around the gala trying to make powerful friends."

                                              John's POV

John awoke early that morning excitement coursing through him because he would be turning eight, then he realized that his mother wouldn't be celebrating his eighth birthday. His mother the infamous black widow was gone on a shield mission, most tell me that I'm lucky to have my mom, but to him she isn't the black widow she is just mom. He crawls out of bed throwing some Jean's on and starts walking down the stairs when he hears a very unusual sound his dad Frank begging, he creeps down the steps a young lady with hazel brown eyes, denim Jean's, brown boots and a black t-shirt pointing a large machine gun at Frank point blank. "Please don't do this, you can kill me but please spare my son" Frank said gruffly

"Castle You didn't show any kindness when you slaughtered my family , but don't worry this isn't personal just convenient, your son won't feel a thing" she said sadistically. I kept quite looking at my father with pleading eyes. I knew I should've moved but my legs were frigid, stuck to the spot, filled with lead and my heart with dread for what was about to happen. Her gloved fingers wrapped around the trigger, fear paralyzed my body then a mighty roar erupted from my dad Frank Castles mouth as he shot forward tackling the young woman, however he wasn't fast enough as the military grade firearm shot led into my dad, reducing his gruff war beaten features to hamburger meat. 

As my fathers dead body fell atop his killer pinning her to the ground a animalistic scream escaped my lips and pierced the air and a deep uncomparable rage enveloped my body and I rushed forward lashing out and beating on the young woman. Who escaped from my fathers body and pinned me to the ground her foot on my throat and a gun to my head

Just then a loud crash could be heard as my aunt rose crashed through the window. The young woman spun around but is quickly disarmed and as rose shoots the young woman slams a smoke bomb into the ground as the gas clears the young woman is gone. Rose Van Helsing asked me "John are you alright, are you hurt." I wouldn't answer her even as she shook me violently, I couldn't tear my gaze from my dads dead body and I made two oaths. 

I will kill every single bastard that was involved in his murder and two I will make him proud and carry on the legacy of the punisher. Looking into my godmothers eyes, the eyes of the woman that has earned the right of being family, if she hasn't already. "John listen to me, go get a backpack of your favorite things that you absolutely love".  Heading upstairs I grabbed my favorite MP3 player with all my favorite songs on it. 

Stolen novel; please report.

I grabbed some clothes, a picture of me, my mom, and my dad standing in front of the Washington monument from when I was five. My all purpose solarly charged futuristic watch from aunt rose and walking over to my workbench I grab my Swiss Army knife that uncle tony gave to me two years ago it has a bunch of secret tools in it. Walking towards the doorway I turn and look back flipping the light switch off knowing that this is the last time I will be in this house. Walking downstairs I slip on my Nike sneakers and lace them up shouldering my backpack with the pictures and my two outfits in it.

My watch is on my wrist, my Swiss Army knife is in my butt pocket, and and my MP3 player is in the side pocket of my blue jeans, cheap earbuds firmly wrapped around it. Looking at aunt rose I led her towards the closet "they won't just stop with dad" I said pushing aside the various coats until I reveal the back wall and as I walk through the wall hologram. I do the eye scan and the armory doors open.  "So you might as well arm yourself." While Rose van Helsing arrives at my side she is awed by the vast array of firearms and lethal weapons from basic pistols to military grade assault rifles and shotguns, there's even some alien and future tech. 

Grabbing three duffle bags Aunt rose began to clean out the armory. Looking around I walk off to my left as I see my moms and my fathers old vigilante outfits. The black leather skintight suit belonging to the infamous black widow and the militaristic style suit of my father. Black heel length leather jacket, lightweight bulletproof Kevlar vest with a spray painted white skull, combat boots, and cargo pants.

Turning away just as Rose Van Helsing Finnishes packing the immense bulk amount of firearms. We walked into the garage and she chose my fathers brand new all black Porsche. With the mighty roar of the v6 engine we took off soaring through Manhattan until we hung a left into an alley. There was a small garage door tucked away which automatically opened. 

As we pulled into the small garage rose turned the engine off. My face must've displayed the confusion I felt because she answered "one of your dads and mines old safe-houses." "You and my dad worked together." I asked surprised. She answered softly " yeah, I used to be a detective but knew Natasha since I was little around your age. When I was in my late twenties I joined a task force by the Nypd that was dedicatedly hunting down Frank eventually we started to vigilante together, we were an unstoppable duo."

Rose hands him a combat knife with his father's initials in it. She told him something he will never forget "life will never give you anything for free whatever you want you pay for, if you want to be the best you endlessly train. Your father knew that better than anyone John.". She got out of the sports car and I followed her.

I was amazed at what I saw, Daredevil, Hawkeye, Scarlet Which , and Maria Hill standing around a computer, that  appeared to be a command center. Rose walked up with me by her side and she said " it's time, we can't wait any longer for more refugees, we leave now, erase and destroy everything important, Doom, Skull, and the woman have initiated the revolution, and we lost another good man today, we lost Catsle." Daredevil whose mask was tucked under his armpit bowed his head and his lips began moving very fast, he appeared as if he was praying. Off to the right of the of the command center was one of the avengers Quinn jets. Hawkeye , Maria Hill, and Scarlet Which began moving crates of what I assumed to be weapons onto the jet. 

I sat down on the ramp of the jet and plugged in my earbuds and I hit random and the song it's the end of the world as we know it began to play and at that time I didn't realize just how true that song was. I was tapped on the shoulder by  uncle Clint and pulling my earbuds out he said "come on bud, we're leaving." I didn't answer him and wordlessly followed him into the jet. Once we were on board and seated the jet rose off the ground and the roof opened up. 

Soon after we teleported into a vast mountain landscape and continued to fly. The tears began to fall all of the events from earlier in the day  the stress, the guilt, the loss, the pain, but most of all the rage, I left bottled up inside me. I just couldn't stop the tears and rose rushed toward her chest firmly pressed against me, my head leaning against her shoulders, as she fiercely hugged me. Comforting me aunt Rose began squeezing me and whispered in my ear " let it out John, let it out baby, let it out. So I did while tears blurred my vision I let loose a loud rage filled scream, a scream of a troubled soul. Four more animalistic bellows escape my lips, I pour all my pain all my agony into each aimless shout. I give into the sob that soon takes me into a peaceful blackness. I'm vaguely aware of Rose humming a tune that eases my nightmares.
