A/N: I want this novel to be a bit of a slow burn, so the mc won't be super op by age 5. He will get powers, but he'll have to be careful and clever about what he goes for.

1995
New York City
Hospital
It was cold. Why am I cold? I tried to move around to see if I left the windows open again but found I couldn't move my body. What the hell?!
I tried to look around but my eyes weren't opening. Okay..what the fuck is happening?! Trying not to panic I felt something grasp my head and slowly start to pull back. I tried to free myself but my body seemed to not want to listen to me.
Before I could find another way to free myself, blinding light seeped threw my eyelids and I let out a manly scream... or at least I tried to but what came out was the soft cries of a baby.
"It's a boy! Emily, It's a boy!!"
A gruff deep voice shouted out around me as I felt something soft wrap around my body.
"Oh my god, he's so cute! He looks just like you Frank."
A softer voice called out this time, she sounded tired but happy. I wanted to see what these two were talking about and thankfully my body listened as my eyes slowly started to open.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
It was bright. Fuck was it bright, but I pushed through the discomfort to see... TWO FUCKING GIANTS SMILING DOWN AT ME!!
"He has your eye's tho darling." The man said.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!?!!?

1998
New York City, Lower East Side
Three Years Later
I'm so fucked. Not only was I somehow reborn as a baby but apparently I was also transported to the Marvel universe. The MCU to be exact, found that out the hard way when a green supersuit-wearing Brie Larson chased a shapeshifting alien onto our bus.
Things didn't go like the scene I saw on youtube tho (didn't actually watch the movie) because instead of just blending in, the Skrull started killing people indiscriminately.
I was lucky. 'Captain Marvel' apparently didn't want to watch a baby die and saved me but my parents weren't so lucky. I wanted to feel... I don't know, something when they died but I barely knew them and I had much bigger worries on my mind.
Lucky for me babies don't really have to fake being sad for their dead parents. Unlucky for me, I was an orphan in the marvel universe.
Authorities were placing me in a foster home, where I hoped to live out an unimportant life away from the aliens and space gods. My new foster dad, Anthony Masters, seemed like a good enough guy if not a little brash.
My view of him changed when I caught him donning battle gear and a skull mask one night when he thought I was sleeping. I just know whatever or whoever he really is was definitely going to get in the way of my chill peaceful new life.
Sadly today that wish truly died when I finally remembered where I heard my new name before. Brock Rumlow, A.k.A Crossbones. The fated minor villain and punching bag of Captain fucking America. So..yeah like I said, I'm so fucked.

A/N: Soo what did you think? The MC is a casual viewer of the marvel movies and knows a little from other stuff like comics or cartoons but he isn't a walking wiki, so won't know more of the obscure stuff or characters.
Let me know if you like where the story is going. Thanks for reading my first fic!!
