Chapter 812 Disappearing Captain America and the Inheritor
"You know, I can go with you if you want."
"Thank you, Sam. But let me do it this time."
In the woods outside the temporary base, next to the newly built small quantum channel, Steve was carrying a black box and the Thor hammer in his hand, ready to embark on the journey of 'Meituan Takeaway'.
Dior, Wanda, Quicksilver, Hulk, Falcon Sam, Bucky the Winter Soldier, Thor, and Natasha are all waiting for Steve to draw a happy end to this catastrophe.
"Don't be silly until I come back."
"How could I. You do stupid things."
Steve and Bucky looked at each other and smiled, and then hugged with affection. Maybe no one else noticed anything, but as the person who knew Steve the most, Bucky seemed to have something in his heart. As expected, this guy is going to do something stupid again.
So after the hug, all he said was, "I'm going to miss you bro."
Steve nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Bucky."
Then Steve turned around and walked up to Dio and held out a hand, "We're still friends, right?"
"Always."
Dio didn't shake his hand, but hugged him the same and patted him on the back. Although the concept was different, it was a thing of the past.
After the catastrophe, many people, including Dior, were ready to retire.
Maybe one day in the future, they will choose to come forward because the earth is in danger, but now everyone just wants to return to normal life.
"Good luck, Steve."
Wanda and Steve also hugged gently.
Then Steve took something and stood directly on the quantum channel.
"Roughly how long will it take?"
Sam, who had not been resurrected for a long time, asked worriedly.
"It's fine for him, but for us, it's just five seconds."
Hulk said confidently, knowing that the original version of the time machine needed a full minute of synchronization time to send people back, but now it only takes five seconds.
War is the best source of development of science and technology, this sentence is true!
"Are you ready, Captain?"
Seeing Steve nodding, Hulk operated the instrument directly, "The quantum field is on, countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
With a swish, Steve's figure disappeared.
"And get ready to come back, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... eh?"
Hulk pressed the switch, but Steve was not seen on the quantum channel.
Hulk began to check the equipment with a confused look, and at the same time Sam asked eagerly, "Where are the others?"
"I don't know, the timestamps have been synchronized, he should be back."
"Bring him back!"
"I know, I'm trying hard."
"Bring him back quickly!"
"Don't worry, Sam!"
At this time, only Bucky's face showed the smirk of "I knew it would be like this".
at the same time,
Dior, who had a feeling in his heart, suddenly looked at the bench by the lake.
He was quite sure that before this, there was absolutely no one there!
But now suddenly there is an extra person out of thin air. Did I accidentally not notice it, or...
Dio's eyes flickered, and he always felt that this old back was very human.
Is it! ?
"there."
Following Dior's gesture, everyone's eyes turned to the bench not far away.
Then Sam and Bucky walked over, Dio didn't move, and neither did the others, because if it really was Steve's choice, then all they could do was bless.
So let's leave the current space for them first.
Without knowing what he thought, Bucky stopped suddenly, and then said to Sam with a smile: "Go ahead, he is waiting for you."
Sam was stunned for a moment, but he walked over to the old man and called out tentatively, "Captain?"
"Hi Sam, long time no see."
Sitting on the bench, looking at the old man on the lake calmly, he slowly turned his head and said hello.
Although the growth rings of the years have left a seal carved by the wind and frost on him, the face, the way of speaking, and the breath on his body are undoubtedly Captain America himself!
"So there was a mistake, or was that the way it was intended?"
For some reason, Sam burst out laughing too, because he also felt Steve's mood and the choices he made.
"After I returned the Infinity Stones, I thought maybe I should try the kind of life Tony persuaded me to live." The white-haired Steve said slowly with a happy smile of reminiscence.
"So what was the result?"
"Very beautiful."
Sam nodded, empathizing, "I'm happy for you, really."
"The only thing that makes me sad though is that there is no Captain America in my world anymore."
"Oh, you reminded me." Steve held Sam one of the things he had set aside.
That's the classic vibranium round shield that Tony's father built for him!
This thing had already been shattered in the fight against Thanos, but Steve, now in his twilight years, brought a new, identical, Captain America shield to his heirs!
"Try it on."
Sam didn't pick it up, but stared at his idol with mixed feelings, and then turned to look at Bucky who was not far away. In his opinion, this shield should not be reserved for him, Bucky is more than him. It is suitable to inherit the will of the US team.
But Bucky himself knew that he was not worthy of having this shield, let alone inheriting the title of Team America, this will.
With the blood of so many innocents on his hands alone, he will never be the next Captain America.
Maybe other people might agree with Steve on his face, not embarrass him, and even Tony no longer wants to kill him and avenge his parents.
But Bucky didn't have the face to accept it.
It was precisely because Steve knew what Bucky was thinking that he did not hand over this burden, this responsibility, to him, but to his admirers.
At least in Steve's eyes, Sam would never let him down.
"How does it feel?"
"It feels like someone else's thing."
"It's not someone else's, it's yours."
Sam, who was wearing the Captain America shield, took a deep breath, suppressed the complexities in his heart, and looked at Steve solemnly, "Thank you, I will definitely use it to the best of my ability."
The two hands were held together again, only this time the difference was that Steve wore a beautiful ring on his ring finger.
"So would you like to talk to me about her?"
Steve smiled lightly and looked at the lake again, "No, no need."
Because it would be the best memory of his life, having the perfect life of Peggy Carter.
