"You're awake. The ward door was pushed open and Pepper walked in.
Pepper didn't know Carter, but Carter knew her. Carter has always paid close attention to Tony.
"Tony..." Although Carter didn't understand what happened to him, Carter instinctively thought of Tony.
Pepper hesitated for a while and said: "Tony said...he and you no longer owe each other anything. So he doesn't want to see you again..."
Carter was silent for a while, then pointed at himself in the mirror and said, "Is this what Tony calls not owing each other?"
Pepper has used dragon bones and knows that the dragon bones are actually Kai's trophies. At the same time, she is also very aware of how sensitive the dragon bones are, so she already knew from Tony what she should say: "Tony is very concerned about hurting you." I'm sorry, so I asked a friend... His friend has some special abilities. Anyway, you want to be in the best condition to meet the captain, right?"
To be honest, Pepper has always known the magic of keel bones. Since she used keel bones, her physical fitness has improved a lot. The skin that was originally loose began to become tight again, and the pigmentation caused by age has also disappeared without a trace. The freckles on my face are gone. She even felt as if she was about to develop a second time, and her whole person was rejuvenated from the inside out. It feels great.
Unexpectedly, the effect on Carter was even more domineering, rejuvenating him! ! !
Doesn't that mean she can stay young?
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Although it was sad that Tony had fallen out with his aunt, Pepper couldn't help but chuckle a little.
"Friend?" Carter immediately thought of Kai.
After all, Tony had the best relationship with him, and Kai also had superpowers. But Carter immediately rejected this speculation. Let's not talk about whether Kai's super power can do this. Even if he can, Kai doesn't seem to have to go to this point for himself.
Yes, Carter will only understand what it means to be rejuvenated better than Tony. Everyone in this world desires this ability, and the richer and more powerful the people, the more eager they are. Kaizhen has this ability and will definitely hide it well.
She doesn't have any friendship with Kai. As for the friendship between Tony and Kai, it seems that there is no way for Kai to achieve this. At most Kai would save people, but he would never help her rejuvenate.
So who can do this?
"Ms. Carter?" Carter was silent for too long, and Pepper asked a little worriedly.
"Huh?" Carter came back to his senses. But the moment she turned around, she saw herself in the mirror again. No matter how many times she looked at it, she still felt like she was in a dream. "Oh...I'm fine."
After a while, Carter said: "I also want to see Tony."
Pepper shook his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry...Tony said that his position will not change. He will definitely find Bucky Barnes and take revenge. Unless you are on his side, there is nothing to talk about. "
Carter was silent, siding with Tony?
Of course she thought about it.
But how to face Steve?
And this was even when she clearly knew that Barnes had been brainwashed.
Under the dilemma, Carter can only make the choice that best suits his heart.
Barnes is innocent!
This is the most important weight cast between two men. She couldn't let Tony make the same mistake again and again. She had to find Barnes before Tony and protect him, otherwise... As for Tony not being able to kill people... Come on, do you really think this is a fairy tale world? If the law could control those privileged classes, they wouldn't be called privileged classes anymore. Tony has many ways to kill people, and the law has no way to deal with him.
Thinking about all this, Carter reluctantly followed Pepper and left Stark Tower.
Just as Carter left, out of her sight, Tony looked at Carter's leaving back coldly.
…
The Quantico military base where Captain America is currently located is not far from New York. Perhaps it was to let the captain relax, or to allow more people to meet the captain in person. Tonight, the Quantico Military Base held a dance specifically for the captain.
There were no outsiders, only some officers from the military camp and some senior military officials who came specially from Washington and other places.
"Captain Rogers..." General Edward Clegg, the old general, came to the captain who had finally gotten rid of those 'fans' with a wine glass.
Steve saw Edward's military rank and immediately saluted reflexively: "Yes! General!"
This made General Edward Clegg a little confused: "No, no, no, captain, you don't need to salute to anyone, at least in the army! It was because of your encouragement that I joined the army and went to the battlefield. .You will always be my idol.”
Steve actually didn't like this kind of flattery at first, but after hearing it more often, it got better.
"Captain, you know, now the whole world is curious and excited because of your return! Your return will make America great again!"
Steve smiled bitterly and said: "I don't think there will be curiosity outside. Maybe, they will panic."
After all, an old antique who was thought to have been dead for many years...is actually alive. If Steve put himself in the position of the people, he would probably also panic.
"How could it be?" Edward waved his arms and said excitedly: "The successive appearances of demons, giants, and monsters... Everyone is panicking about these lives that were once only in legends or stories. Now your return, Captain, will make the people feel at ease. After all, if it weren't for you, the world would not be what it is today. You are the flag of American soldiers. As long as you are here, I think they will know that the reason why the world is so peaceful is because there are people like you who are carrying the burden forward."
The military is indeed happy to see the captain's return. Unlike politicians, they are not only not afraid of the captain's influence, but even hope to use Steve's influence. Over the years, the Federation has been quite critical of many actions of the military, believing that capital has colluded with the military, and most of the wars launched by the Federation are now launched for capital.
This is also the public opinion basis for President Benjamin to cut military spending after he came to power.
But if there is the sign of Captain America, everything will be different! Captain America represents love and justice. As long as they grasp this card, the military's actions will have a reasonable and legal basis. Who dares to cut their funding at that time?
He will be criticized to death!
So the military is very enthusiastic about the captain!
Steve heard such a high evaluation and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I am just doing what I should do, what a soldier should do."
When the ** was about to sweep the world, there were countless outstanding men in the world who went to the battlefield to stop the disaster. As a patriotic young man, Steve Rogers was naturally the same. If there is a difference, Steve Rogers once asked himself, at most, his luck is slightly better than others.
At this time, the other people who came around immediately joined in the flattery of Steve.
As I said, the military needs Steve as a banner.
The government obviously realized what the military was going to do very quickly, and several civilian officials headed by Ruth McMillan came over immediately.
They would also flatter, but for completely different purposes.
They didn't care whether Steve was in the military or not. They cared more about Steve's position!
The army must not lose control no matter what!
This is the bottom line of the government!
Steve doesn't really understand politics, but he's not a fool. He can see that the two gangs are targeting each other, but he doesn't understand what's going on.
Just then, a black car drove into the military base.
And stopped outside the venue.
This quickly attracted the attention of others. Then the faces of the people present changed drastically.
It's Nick Fury!
The development and loss of control of SHIELD have made many people wary of SHIELD. Nick was even refused to meet the president. As for the issue of Captain America, almost everyone has a consensus that SHIELD must be excluded!
But now Nick Fury actually ignored the warning and appeared here openly!
This is not just a simple violation of the will of the federal government!
This means out of control!
SHIELD no longer has awe of the federation!
At that time, several senior military officers stopped Nick Fury at the signal of the person behind the scenes.
No matter what, he would never contact Captain America.
But Nick's next move made them stop.
Nick opened the back door of the car, and a woman wearing a World War II U.S. military female officer uniform got out of the back seat of the car.
"Peggy!"
Steve felt like he was dreaming! But this dream was so real that he couldn't believe it.
Ms. Carter is not an ordinary person. She has always been a legendary figure. Not to mention the fact that she is the widow of Captain America, the key is that she is also a symbol of post-war feminism! In a patriarchal society, she has reached the pinnacle of power with her own efforts, and she is also an idol of women in the new era.
First of all, it should be pointed out here that the United States has always been a conservative country. For a long time after World War II, the best choice for women to get married was to be housewives, even now. It's just that it's not as discriminated against as before. But what about Carter? Not only did she win a place in the patriarchal society with her own efforts, but she didn't change her gender even after she got married.
This is also the reason why she was called Ms. Carter from beginning to end, instead of her husband's surname.
So many of the slightly older people present knew her. For example, Secretary of Defense Ruth McMillan and Deputy Secretary of Defense General Edward Craig were like this. Even the two of them were very familiar with Carter!
Although the woman in front of them looked only 20 years old, they recognized her at a glance.
"Ms. Carter!"*2
The two people's exclamation completely confirmed Carter's identity.
Steve Rogers was so excited that he appeared in front of Ms. Peggy Carter standing at the door with a swoosh, his face full of excitement.
But the next second.
Snap!
A loud slap!
Everyone was stunned to see Ms. Carter slap Captain America hard!
This was not the same as the passionate embrace that most people imagined.
"Asshole! You broke your promise!!"
Carter screamed, but the next second, Ms. Carter directly hugged Steve Rogers' neck, still muttering: "You are late, you know, you are late for a full sixty-five years."
Rogers felt Carter's real and warm body temperature. After a moment of silence, his hands with nowhere to rest slowly hugged Peggy Carter's back. He lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of the blonde beauty's hair, greedy and uncontrollable. : "I know, I know, I know, I'm sorry. Peggy."
At this moment, no one would be so dishonest as to disturb this pair of lovers who had not seen each other for more than sixty years. Everyone silently looked at the lovers who finally met each other with gentle and touching eyes. In any case, love has no position.
…
Beauty is short-lived.
This is especially true for politicians who are constantly calculating.
After a brief blessing and touching moment, a lot of questions ran through everyone's minds.
Ms. Carter must be ninety years old, but the Ms. Carter in front of her is still exactly the same as she was during World War II! What's going on?
Also, Nick Fury and Ms. Carter appear together. Does this mean that SHIELD is planning to play Carter's card, and that Ms. Carter is also preparing to side with SHIELD?
etc!
There must be answers to these questions, otherwise many people will not be able to sleep.
Nick Fury is in a very happy mood now, because in his opinion, things are stable!
At least Cap's feelings for Ms. Carter haven't changed.
Although Nick Fury does not believe in so-called love, it does not mean that he will not use love.
Originally, Nick didn't plan to go to Carter because he was not sure. Who knows where Carter stands.
Unexpectedly, Carter took the initiative to find them!
Then there is nothing to say!
In fact, Carter didn't want to find SHIELD at all. The previous exchange with Tony made Ms. Carter deeply distrustful of S.H.I.E.L.D. The way she left SHIELD wasn't that glorious either. You know, those who founded S.H.I.E.L.D. later either died or fell out with S.H.I.E.L.D. (such as Dr. Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man). This is not Carter's original intention, but the problem is that SHIELD is not hers alone, and she needs to take into account the interests of the entire SHIELD.
The same reason she left SHIELD was because SHIELD had its own interests, and she became a stumbling block.
So when I left S.H.I.E.L.D., I was really not happy, otherwise Carter wouldn't have left England.
After the conversation with Tony, Carter felt deeply disappointed.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has made no progress in its investigation of Barnes for so many years.
There are only two possibilities for this situation. First, SHIELD never thought of investigating the cause of Howard Stark's death. Two, that is, those within SHIELD were involved in this murder!
Otherwise, it would be unexplainable that SHIELD has made no progress on this assassination case for more than twenty years!
But the problem is, Carter now... Without someone from SHIELD to prove it, how many people can believe that the woman in front of them is Peggy Carter?
