Captain America was soon half-tricked and half-forced to leave. Maybe he would go to a military base, but who cares? Kai didn't care anyway.
Of course, so far, Kai was the only one who thought so. Less than fifteen minutes after Captain America left, the 15th Precinct was surrounded by reporters again.
Some idiot must have sold the news of Captain America's resurrection. It's nothing. This behavior is normal in big cities. Except for those extremely serious cases where the higher-ups have issued a death order not to leak, many times, the police will regard selling news as a means of making extra money. Kai has no good way to deal with this. He personally doesn't like to do this, but the problem is that the New York police, or all the police in big cities (only the news in New York and Los Angeles is more valuable) do this.
It even created an underground industrial chain. In short, this kind of thing has become a convention, and the police officers below can distinguish the importance of things and know what can't be disclosed and what can be sold. So even if Kai was unhappy, he didn't say much. After all, he can't fight against human nature.
So the news of Captain America's resurrection was sold out in a short period of time. The fastest first-hand news was said to have sold for more than 100,000 US dollars, because the news not only contained Captain America's personal confession, but also his own photo!
After that, I don't know how many times this news has been sold. In short, all the news media in New York City, including TV stations and newspapers, and even many online platforms have gathered outside the police station.
This is a huge explosion point!
Of course, Kai will not participate in such troublesome things, and George has no choice but to stand in front of the stage again.
"Yes, Captain America is back!" After asking Kai for instructions, George learned that the news of Captain America's resurrection did not need to be hidden deliberately, but only needed to conceal it from SHIELD. Anyway, Kai would not give them the credit for Captain America's return. George can do whatever he wants.
George's statement made everyone excited at once! Captain America is really back!
"Excuse me, Deputy Director George. Can you tell me how Captain America was resurrected? Did the government use some secret experiment? Or is it just a fake? A puppet to attract the public's attention?"
"As for how Captain America was resurrected, I can tell you. That's because the Federation found Captain America frozen in the Arctic Circle. As you know, environmental problems have caused a large area of the Arctic ice cap to disappear in recent years, and that's why we found Captain America. After that, we lifted the ice, and that's how it has been since then. As for what you said... I can only say that you think too much. If you really want those things, the government would have formed an entire army of super soldiers long ago! In short, Captain America is back. It's a fact!"
George originally wanted to give the credit to the Federation, but as he spoke, it became 'we'. Those who didn't understand thought that the New York police rescued Captain America. Of course, no one would argue with George about this kind of thing.
"Where is Captain America now? Is he still in the police station?" Another reporter raised his hand and asked.
"What do you think?" George asked back.
The reporter cooperated and said his guess: "It is absolutely impossible for him to stay in the police station. The Federation will not let such a hero wander outside."
"Look, you have thought of it, don't you think the Federation will not think of it?"
"Then can we know where Captain America is?"
"You should ask the White House about this question. You don't think the White House will tell this news to a little policeman like me?" George said humorously.
George was not very good at dealing with the media before, but Chief Kai is a complete hands-off boss, and George has been trained. Of course, this is not without benefits. The higher the police are, the more similar they are to politicians. If they can't handle the relationship with the media well, their future is limited. People like Kai are typical thugs who can't manage themselves. They can only mix in the front line all their lives and are destined not to enter the political arena.
George often appears in the news media on behalf of the 15th Precinct, so his exposure rate is quite high. High exposure rate means that he has a deep impression in the minds of voters. If he runs for election, he will definitely get a lot of votes.
"So when do you think the federal government will announce Captain America's comeback? Or will it continue to conceal Captain America's existence?" In the eyes of many reporters, the federal government is the biggest villain, because they have a lot of secrets, but they are unwilling to share. Is there anything more hateful to reporters than this?
But George didn't wait for him to speak.
Eddie Brock squeezed into the crowd. He was late. Because he dealt with a group of robbers on the way. So he was late, but don't be afraid, he has a very good relationship with the 15th Precinct and can even enter and exit the 15th Precinct at will.
There is no way, who said that the name of Venom has already been known?
Perhaps because of the worship of superheroes, Eddie also embarked on the path of vigilantes, but unlike those wild foxes, he is a partner of the 15th Precinct and a voluntary policeman. Eddie is indeed a little proud during this period, because of the existence of Venom, he can always catch the first-hand news, and even rely on this identity to mix into the circle of New York vigilantes and have many sources of information. And his newspaper also became famous because a superhero appeared in his newspaper.
There were newspapers that criticized Venom before, but before Eddie could take action, his colleagues and superiors started a verbal fight like mad dogs, spitting insults at each other in the newspapers.
Of course, this was not necessarily out of true support for Eddie, but for their own interests, after all, this way more people would buy their newspapers.
In short, Venom looks so ugly, but he is the best superhero, because surprisingly, no one bothers him! Whether it is the police, the federal government or any other messy organization, they all turn a blind eye to him. This is also an extremely rare thing.
"George! Do you have a photo of Captain America? I mean the exclusive one?" Eddie was not polite and asked for the news directly.
Other reporters were very unhappy with Eddie's behavior, but George did not refuse at all: "We will talk privately later."
"That's great!"
Envy, jealousy and hatred.
Now Eddie is a complete winner in life in the eyes of all reporters.
The next step is to ask some questions about details. George can grasp the rhythm very well. He will never say what he shouldn't say, and he will say what he should say.
...
So the news exploded the next day. In fact, it didn't wait until the next day. The whole public opinion field exploded on the same day. It's just that it was Eddie's revelations that completely ignited the public opinion.
He uploaded the video materials of Captain America on his personal website!
This is not the key point. The key point is that Captain America in the video is still wearing handcuffs...
There were rumors at the time.
The New York police are so powerful that they actually arrested Captain America...
Of course, there are more scoldings.
Many people are surprised that the New York police don’t know Captain America!
Many people began to wonder how the New York police graduated from elementary school. Of course, this is mostly a joke. After all, who could have guessed that it was Captain America before? Everyone knows that Captain America and Red Skull died together.
In short, the whole United States became agitated because of the appearance of Captain America.
At the routine press conference of the White House that day, reporters wanted to know the information of Captain America like crazy.
But the White House spokesman didn’t know much.
He could only say repeatedly: "Captain has just woken up and needs time to recover. We must wait until the authoritative experts confirm that there is no problem before we can announce his information."
In short, the United States is lively again.
At the same time, Ms. Carter, known as the widow of Captain America, secretly returned to the United States. But the first person she met was not the man who haunted her dreams. She first came to New York.
"Tony." Ms. Carter looked at the man in front of her and fell into memories.
Tony knew Carter a long time ago and called her Aunt Peggy. After Tony's parents died, Carter also took care of Tony for a long time as an elder. Their relationship can be said to be very close, but because of the SHIELD, Carter did not stay in the United States, but settled in London. But even so, Tony visits Carter every year.
But now, it seems that everything is different.
There is no family affection in Tony's eyes when he looks at Carter, only indifference.
"Aunt Peggy." Tony did not say bad things to the aunt who took care of him. It's just that the tone is different after all.
"Tony... you have changed a lot." Tony is certainly not the kind of person who will act like a spoiled child to Carter, but Carter can feel the alienation.
Tony smiled: "You too, I always thought you were just an ordinary civil servant. But I didn't expect that you were the first director of SHIELD."
"Tony, Howard's case is not that simple..."
"Of course, Bucky Barnes! Captain America's best friend, if people knew that Mr. Barnes was a traitor, it would affect Steve Rogers' position. I understand." Tony's eyes did not understand at all. "But I don't understand, Aunt Peggy. My father is also your friend, he even founded SHIELD with you! Why do you even want to hide his death? Just to protect the Captain America in the ice?"
Carter knew that Tony could no longer listen to the explanation. But from Carter's point of view, she had to persuade him.
"No, Tony, it's not what you think. Bucky is innocent! He was manipulated!" If SHIELD can't find anything with its ability, it would be really weird. But there is only so much to find out. This is also Carter's heartache for these years. "He was brainwashed and controlled by the Soviets! Believe me!"
"The Soviet Union is gone! Don't tell me that it is Russia that is controlling him now!" After Tony learned that it was Barnes who killed his parents, he never gave up on checking Barnes' whereabouts. He has checked all the capable countries in the world. Russia is naturally the focus. But the feedback he got was that Barnes disappeared long before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Even if it was the Soviets who controlled Barnes to do it, the Soviet Union is gone now! Who else should Tony look for if not Barnes?
"Barnes is innocent!" Carter made his last effort.
"Haha, do you think so? His hands are stained with the blood of my parents, or is he innocent?"
Barnes killed Tony's parents, this is really unwashable.
Of course, what really made Tony angry was not this, but Carter's attitude!
His father was Carter's comrade-in-arms and close friend! SHIELD itself was created by his father!
But Carter's attitude...as if his father's death was not worth mentioning!
"I've been looking for the mastermind! Tony. I've been working hard."
"Is that really true?" Tony's face turned completely cold, and even the polite smile before was gone! Tony was not a person who was good at hiding his emotions. After all, there were few people in the world who needed him to be conceited. "You have been investigating for decades, and I found out in just a few months... Is SHIELD really serious about investigating?"
Carter choked.
She has been blaming herself for Howard's death all these years, after all she was in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. But over the years, her investigations have always failed due to various reasons, as if there was a force stopping her. She thought it was the Soviet Union, but after the Soviet Union disappeared, this force still existed.
In fact, she herself was not sure whether there really was such a force.
Later, Carter had gradually begun to lose control of S.H.I.E.L.D. This is normal. After all, the new generation has grown up, and no one will allow Carter to permanently control S.H.I.E.L.D. After all, no one wants another Hoover. Hoover has been the director of the FBI for 48 years, causing successive presidents to criticize him. There is no way.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. had such a person again... it would be unimaginable.
But even so, Carter has been in office for a long time. But after all, we have to face reality. After realizing that he had lost control of SHIELD, Carter left the United States and returned to the United Kingdom. (Carter is British)
This also provides peace of mind to all parties involved.
So the investigation was entrusted to her successor, Alexander Pierce...
But now it seems that there is still no progress in the investigation, and it may even be that no one is investigating at all.
Thinking of this, Carter really didn't know what to say.
"Aunt Peggy...I understand you, you love Captain. But you can't spread your love for him to everyone related to him!" Tony's eyes were slightly red: "You failed my father! And Steve ·Like Rogers! My father is so helpful to you, but you only think about yourself! You don’t even think about him at all!”
This is an extremely severe accusation.
Carter wanted to explain that that wasn't the case.
But Tony turned around and left.
Carter wanted to hold him back, but Tony seemed to have had enough, and flicked Carter away with a flick of his hand.
Carter lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Then Carter felt like the world was spinning, his vision went black, and there was a sharp pain in his chest.
Tony turned around when he heard the sound and saw Carter lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and immediately felt something was wrong!
…
"So... you want me to come here just to save her?" Kai looked at the old woman lying on the hospital bed for first aid through the glass, frowned and looked at Tony: "I'm not a doctor!"
Tony looked at the medical staff with a complex expression as they were giving Carter first aid.
"I know...I also know that she is dying. Even if this time hadn't happened...she wouldn't have lived long."
"By the way, who is she? You are so nervous that you actually give her first aid at your own home." Kai didn't recognize this old woman.
"She... is Peggy Carter. The widow of Captain America." Tony said in a solemn voice. He had originally wanted to say it was his Aunt Peggy. But thinking that they were destined to be on opposite sides in the future, he still used another identity to introduce her.
"Tsk..." Kai felt his tooth hurt.
Kay still knew about the relationship between Peggy Carter and Tony. Especially after Captain America is resurrected, their relationship will surely face some twists and turns... It's a true family ethics drama!
"You want to use the keel?" Kai probably guessed Tony's plan.
"Well, please." Tony's idea is that he owes Carter everything, and this time he will pay her back!
"Then have you thought about how to explain it?" Kai is not stingy about the dragon bone. Tony said so, no problem at all. But...what happens after?
The small bones of the keel are not very obvious in young people. For example, Tony looks just a few years younger. When outsiders look at it, they only say that he knows how to take care of it. But for the elderly, the effect is outstanding. How can you explain the sudden reverse growth?
A ninety-year-old man is still growing in reverse... Who are you fooling!
Tony obviously didn't think about it that much before.
Now he was a little troubled. After all, rejuvenating one's youth and prolonging one's lifespan... this kind of thing is something that individuals are all looking for.
Then there will be big trouble!
"How about you say it's my new invention?"
"Haha." Kai didn't comment. Even if Tony was made of iron, how many nails could he drive?
This is something that people all over the world need!
"Tsk...it's really troublesome!"
Tony rolled his eyes and came up with a bad idea: "How about letting Batman take the blame? He's so mysterious anyway."
"You're not afraid of him looking for you, just say so." Kai shrugged and said pretending not to care.
"What should I do?" This kind of thing would be a big trouble for anyone. Even Batman is no exception.
"How about... let Hannibal take the blame?" Tony thought for a while and suggested someone again. "He always does those weird things... It should be okay, right?"
"Aren't you afraid that Hannibal will find you?"
"Well... I should be able to handle it. Just make sure, will he come out and clarify?"
"He doesn't have that much free time." Kai thought for a while and settled it. Anyway, Hannibal's reputation was already very bad, so he didn't mind attracting more attention.
"That's it!" Tony waved his hand and said it was settled. But the next second he whispered: "Are you sure Hannibal won't kill me?"
"Maybe." Kai curled his lips.
...
When Carter opened her eyes again, she found that her body was more relaxed than ever before, and the forgetfulness and confusion that often troubled her in the past were also swept away.
Feeling... back to her youth.
But she sat up from the bed. When she turned her head to get a glass of water, she suddenly saw the mirror beside the bed.
The glass of water broke on the ground.
In the mirror was a gorgeous girl in her twenties!
