Chapter 672 Captain’s Awakening

The angry curses of pedestrians and the honking of traffic horns were intertwined with each other, but Rogers didn't seem to hear it, and he continued to run wildly on his own.

Finally, he turned into a dead end of an alley where no one could see them except the entrance.

Rogers gently placed Paige against the wall of the box, fearing to cause secondary damage to her.

Paige slowly opened her eyes, and saw Rogers' helpless face in front of her. Her eyes were once again confused as before. Her Alzheimer's disease had struck again, and she had forgotten that Rogers was running wildly with her on his back under the sunset and that he was walking in front of her. What happened in the hospital.

She said with difficulty, "Steve, you're back." At the same time, she stretched out her hand towards Rogers' face, but because she was not strong enough, she could not reach Rogers even if she raised her hand to the highest position.

Rogers grabbed the withered right hand and put it on his face. The tears in his eyes could no longer be controlled at this moment.

Warm tears fell on the dry hand that touched his face.

"Long time no see, really long time no see!" Peggy repeated the previous sentence. This sentence had been rehearsed thousands of times in her heart. No matter how her memory faded, she could remember this sentence. Remember Rodgers.

"How could I... leave my beauty? She still owes me... a dance!" Rogers stroked the withered hand, his voice choked.

"Ah, yes, this dance seems to continue like this! But...I, it hurts so much! I can't see you, Steve, in front of me...ahem, it's so dark..."

After saying that, her hand fell down and left Rogers' face.

"No, no no! No no no!" Rogers hugged her up and kept saying, "I will save you, I will save you, I will definitely save you..."

After saying that, the shadow of a magic stick flashed in his mind, as if he had grasped the last life-saving straw, he took steps frantically.

He didn't notice at this moment that a blood-stained pocket watch slipped from his arms, fell to the ground, and finally opened it, revealing the dim photo inside.

…

Not long after, the Winter Soldier strode towards the alley step by step. He frowned and looked a little solemn.

Just now, he saw the man's face through the high-power scope, and he always felt that it was a familiar face to him.

He walked to the blood-stained wall, squatted down, and picked up the pocket watch.

When he saw the photo in his pocket watch, his expression became even more solemn.

…

As night fell, the church was still very bright. The golden chandeliers were shining brightly on the ceiling of the hall, and the open door seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.

Roy stood in the center of the church, with his back to the door, raising his head slightly and looking at the knight statue in front of the church.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came.

Rogers was bent over and breathing heavily, holding Peggy Carter covered in blood in his arms. After a moment, he raised his head: "Please help me..."

"The bullet penetrated the lung, and there was severe blood loss. The vital signs have disappeared for three hours, and the body is hard. If anyone can save him, it is probably God!" After checking Paige, Regarding Carter's situation, Roy pronounced word by word like Rogers that he did not dare to accept the fact.

Rogers listened blankly, eyes flashing, and finally hammered the ground hard. With a "dong" sound, the church floor cracked. His face was filled with regret, and two tears flowed from the steel man's cheeks. Come down.

Roy's mouth twitched slightly, feeling a little worried about his floor.

Rogers half-knelt on the floor, his eyes wide open, and murmured, "It's all my fault. Their target was not Paige, but me. It was me who killed Paige!"

When something happens to everyone that makes them regretful, they will subconsciously review their own mistakes and look for a turning point in the development of the entire incident.

For example: If you don't do anything, you won't do anything.

And even Rogers, known as Captain America, will have the same mentality when facing this situation, but this mentality will vary from person to person, from strong to weak.

Sighing, Roy shook his head and said, "If you came here to repent, it's already past that point. Moreover, compared with what she has done for you, you who only regret here are really... Too bad!"

Hearing this, Rogers suddenly raised his head and stared at Roy with his eyes: "Those things you did for me?"

"You haven't understood it until now?" Roy said with a joke, "Do you think you can leave a name in history, be remembered by the world, and be remembered by people just because of a few newspapers from 70 years ago? ? Even if you are really a hero, you can't remain popular for 70 years!"

Hearing this, Steve had a look of astonishment on his face, and he had probably realized something!

Roy continued, "She has been waiting for you for 70 years. Do you really think that during these 70 years, she was really just waiting?"

"She eulogized your deeds and praised your past. In order to let the world remember you, she tried every means. Because of you, she suffered with expectations and worked hard until today."

Roy's voice was very calm, without any waves.

"It is she who makes you live in the hearts of the people!"

Rogers listened quietly. He remembered the interview record of Captain America shown in the screening hall, and the great achievements of himself and the Howling Commandos in the Hall of Deeds.

All of this is the result of Peggy Carter's efforts.

"After listening to this, do you really have any plans? Is it revenge? Or is it just living with regret?" Roy looked calmly at Rogers, who was half-kneeling on the ground, waiting for his answer.

Rogers didn't answer immediately. He was lost in thought, staring at the reflective floor, not knowing what to think about.

But his eyes kept changing, from regret at first, to anger, then to determination, and finally to peace.

He glanced at Peggy next to him, slowly raised his head, looked at Roy with peaceful eyes, and slowly uttered two words:

"guard!"

Roy was a little surprised: "Guard?"

Rogers nodded: "Peggy extols my past and praises my great achievements. I can't do these, but I can protect what he left behind!"

"SHIELD?" Roy asked.

Rogers nodded, "She created SHIELD. I will protect the world and what she left behind just like she did for me!"
