"I do have a kid," Fury confirmed to Billy with a nod, "And I guess she qualifies as my happiest moment. Killing a lot, it's nice to create something, even if I didn't have to do much to make her. I was actually there the day she was born, maybe one of the only times I have been there for something in her life, but what can you do." Nick shrugged, almost pathetically, and posed the next question. "What inspired you guys to 'be heroes'?" he asked and then again broke the taboo on answering his own questions.
"Me, I had no choice, really. This is one of those thing's that doesn't leave this...bubble. Not many people know about it, it's locked up in some secret files somewhere, open and die, that sort of shit. And you-" he paused to waggle a finger at Tony, "I know you've always wanted to know how I got to be this way, so here you go. Most people think I'm a mutant, with the healing factor and the aging and all-"
Again Nick shrugged, shifted himself, closed his eyes, "I let 'em think it. What really happened is when I was sixteen I joined the army and the next year I was over in Sicily. Me and some other guys fucked up, we got arrested by MP. Now, no one's been able to get the Super Soldier serum right, not since Cap. Rogers is some kind of miracle," he said with a nod towards Tony, showing his understanding of Stark's happiest moment. "So I'm in Sicily, imprisoned, and they decide to use me for this experiment, a new super soldier serum, me and a lot of other black guys and they call it 'Project Rebirth.' They did ask me, but it was like do this or face treason charges or some bullshit. So they inject me and I wake up and I've got 'super strength' and of course being fucktarded and a kid I use it to escape. Found out later they let me go, and it definitely didn't stop me from carrying on in the army. When the serum proved successful my record was erased. Time goes by, I'm aging more slowly, got above average agility and the strength and I can heal and here I am sixty-five years later-" Nick gestured grandly, holding his hands out palms up, "In all my motherfucking glory."
