Merlin sat on the train at last, and it was the quiet midnight hour.Dressed in a light trench coat with gloves and a cowboy hat covering his face, he leaned against the window as if he was resting.At his feet was a travel bag, and in his hand was a small jug full of water.He looked like an ordinary tourist, as if he had been exhausted by the long journey.The whole carriage was quiet, most of the passengers were resting, and one or two people who were still awake did not make a sound.The car was headed for the central United States, and its destination was Madison, Wisconsin.After traveling the land, Merlin finally decided to go back to where it all began.He hadn't figured out what he was going to do in the future, and he didn't know what stories were waiting for him in the future, but after so many things, Merlin finally decided to face the emotions hidden in his heart, and he wanted to go back and see.Look at Dad, Mom, and his younger brother Phil, although, they don't remember him anymore.The door of the "Click" train car opened, and a man with a suitcase stepped into the car.He walked at a steady pace, step by step, approaching Merlin.As the man got closer, Merlin, who seemed to be asleep, moved his left hand and silently grasped the hilt of the knife stuck in his boot.The target of the coming man is him...
It's easy to feel.To Merlin's surprise, however, the man did not attack.Instead, he sat down in the chair opposite Merlin with a big grin, put his suitcase at his feet, removed his hat, took off his toad glasses, and reached out and knocked on the table.It's like saying hello.Merlin took off his cowboy hat to cover his face, and he sat up straight, looking at the person sitting across from him.A sturdy black man, with short hair and piercing eyes, who looked to have been a soldier, exuded a cold, unapproachable aura on his body.On his forehead, there was a bandage to stop the bleeding, and the wound seemed to have been left recently, as if it had just been stitched up.This wound that shouldn't have appeared seriously damaged the indifferent temperament of the guy in front of him, making him look a little funny.He looked at Merlin, and Merlin looked at him."
Do I know you?
Mr?
”Merlin asked."
No, you don't."
The man shrugged his shoulders and said to Merlin, "But I knew you, 2 years ago." ”He took something out of his pocket and placed it in Merlin's eyes.It was a minus paper, yellowed, and it was the news of the Chicago bombing.That was indeed what happened 2 years ago, an accident caused by Merlin."
Let me introduce myself, my name is Nick.
Fury.Senior Agent of the Strategic Science Corps, I've been following news about you since 2 years ago, Mr. 89084, or...
Should I call you, Merlin?
”Nick.
Fury glanced at Merlin's posture, shook his head, and said to Merlin patiently and calmly, "Take your hand off the hilt, Merlin."
I came here alone to show my sincerity. ”"You and the Winter Soldier can't hide it from us in the battle outside of Oakland, in fact, my wounds were left that night, and I went to help you, and as a result, I lost 7 of my best soldiers, and even I almost died in the explosion.""
You've been tracking me?"
Merlin let go of the hand holding the hilt of the knife, he leaned back in his seat, looked at Fury in front of him, and said, "Why?"
At that time, I should have been a nobody shrouded in bad luck. ”"Because it's our responsibility, Mr.
Merlin."
Fury explains: "The Strategic Science Corps is a defense organization that was founded during World War II and helped Captain America Steve Brown.
Rogers knocked down**.After the end of World War II, we seized a lot of dangerous things from Germany, which should not have gone to the civilian population. ”"Since then, in addition to continuing its mission of defending the people ourselves, the Strategic Science Corps has searched for all kinds of dangerous objects around the world and contained them.""
This includes dangerous supernatural objects and scientific artifacts that shouldn't be preached, like the bell you met in Chicago.Another example is the blueprint of the 'implosion' bomb used by the Winter Soldier in battle, and so on. ”"And, of course, some dangerous creatures."
Agent Frey glanced at Merlin, and he said meaningfully, "This world is not what ordinary people see, and under the appearance of order, this world hides many unknown forces.Mutants, Inhumans and other special creatures, ghosts, devils, demons, and even ill-intentioned aliens, etc., you have seen a part of this real world, and you have even participated in it and become one of them. ”"That's why I've been paying attention to you from the beginning, Mr.
Merlin.Do you think that letting a character like you walk in the city is something that the authorities don't need to worry about?
”Fury's explanation made Merlin nod, he could understand the logic.It is impossible for any government to allow uncontrollable factors to be incorporated into the civil society, and it makes sense for the government to set up a special agency to deal with these factors after knowing that there are supernatural beings in the world.The only thing that kept Merlin suspicious was the purpose of the agency.He asked bluntly, "So what are you going to do with me, a freak?"
Mr.
Fury?
”"Grab me and throw me in jail?
Or do you find some of these ways to erase me completely?
Or simply, use me as a mad scientist's test subject?
”Merlin's question was malicious, but Fury dealt with it with ease, knocking on the table and saying to Merlin, "Neither!"
”"We will give you a job, a job away from the people, and absorb you into us.If you don't want to accept it, then we will give you a new identity and prepare a house for you in certain safe areas, a new life, provided that you are under our supervision.It's a...
Well, discreet guarding. ”He looked at Merlin and said, "Of course, that's for later."
Since you've just helped us get rid of the most dangerous and notorious madman killer of the last era, I think we should be able to talk about it calmly, right?
”Merlin didn't answer immediately, he made a "please" gesture.Fury leaned forward, he lay on the table, and he looked at Merlin: "What did you see on the night of December 17, 1991?"
”"I saw the whole process of the Howards being killed."
Merlin said without concealment: "Their car brakes failed and crashed into a tree on the side of the road.I wanted to help, but Mr.
Howard, who was seriously injured at the time, asked me to leave with his wife and some things in the trunk.The Winter Soldier is coming too fast, though, and I want to take them away, but I can't.The Winter Soldier hit Mr.
Howard, and in my grappling with him, those things, shattered, too. ”"What's that?"
Fury asked in a serious tone, Merlin glanced at him, and asked with some surprise, "Don't you know what it is?"
”"I'm not sure.""
Mr.
Howard's position in the Strategic Science Corps is transcendent, he is one of the founders of the institution, he has a great deal of autonomy, and it is difficult for anyone else to know what he wants to study, what he researches," Fury said.But I don't think it's any mess that can kill Mr.
Howard...
Super Soldier Serum, right?
”"Hmm" Merlin nodded, and said to Fury, "There are 5 bags of serum, and in the explosion I caused, most of the liquid was evaporated, and in the end only a small bag remained, just a little bit left.When Mr.
Howard was dying, he told me to drink that thing directly...""

You drank?"
Fury's eyes narrowed suddenly, while Merlin shook his head, "I didn't drink it directly. ”"I injected it..."
Under Fury's gaze, Merlin reached out and took the sunglasses that Fury had placed on the table, and with the tightening of five fingers, the sunglasses made a low clicking sound, and a moment later, a pile of glass powder appeared on the table, and the frame of the toad glasses had been crumpled into a small metal ball by Merlin with two fingers."
It's a shame."
Fury looked at the ball of powder and said with some regret, "That's my favorite glasses...""
Uh, I'll pay you."
Merlin apologized to Fury, then looked at him calmly, and said, "I don't want to do that."
Actually, I've been thinking about whether or not I'm going to give it back to you.But alas, the Winter Soldier has been chasing me, and in desperation, I can only take a risk. ”"No, we don't blame you, Mr.
Merlin.It's better to be injected with a serum by you than to fall into the hands of someone like the Winter Soldier. ”Fury stood up, he seemed to have finished asking, he lifted his suitcase, and subconsciously wanted to grab his sunglasses in his pocket, but they were empty.Fury looked at the powder on the table again, and he shrugged his shoulders and said to Merlin, "But since you've been injected with the serum, come with me." ”"I shouldn't tell you about the rest of the conversation, there is a respectable person waiting for you.I guess you've heard her name. ”"What if I don't want to go?"
Merlin sat in his seat and didn't get up, he looked at Fury, and he said, "Maybe I don't think I should have anything to do with you?"
”Hearing Merlin's words, Fury's forward steps stopped, he looked back at Merlin, his sharp eyes shining with a smile of victory, and he said, "You know, Mr.
Merlin, scientific research is a very complicated thing, something like a super soldier serum, although it has appeared decades ago, its structure and composition are a mystery today. ”"That kind of thing, it's not just the injection that is done...
If you want to survive the upcoming transition period safely, then I am sure that you will make the right choice.After all, you're going to see it, but the guy who helped Captain America complete his transformation training back then...""
She's probably the person in the world who knows the Super Soldier Serum.""
So, are you sure, are you going to refuse?"
———————————— although Merlin wanted to refuse Fury, ten minutes later, he still followed Fury honestly back to a high-end hotel in downtown Auckland.And the big man in Fury's mouth was waiting for him in a room in the hotel.It was a lady in a wheelchair, wearing a black floral dress, black mixed with white hair was coiled, and her face was slightly wrinkled, but when she smiled, there was still a charm in it.It's like a weathered old man.But outside of her room, the dozen or so fierce, weapon-wielding guards, as well as the completely emptied hotel, all represented her identity and power."
Hello, Merlin.My name is Peggy.
Carter, director of the Strategic Science Corps.Of course, you kids may be more familiar with my other identity..."
The lady smiled, and she said calmly, "I am indeed Captain America Steve.
Rogers' girlfriend, but that was more than 40 years ago. ”"Sit down, Merlin, don't be nervous.Let's talk about the serum in you, about your past, and about your future. ”Merlin sat honestly on the sofa opposite the lady, although Ms.
Carter spoke very kindly, but as a powerful person who led the Strategic Science Corps for more than 40 years and experienced the baptism of war, there was a hint of irresistibility in her amiable voice.In the face of such a lady, no matter what she says, Merlin will subconsciously obey.Perhaps, this is what people often call personality."
I heard your story from Fury, Merlin, and they all say you're a dangerous person, but I don't see it that way."
Ms.
Carter looked at Merlin and said, "I saw your rescue, in Central City, in Port Grace, and this time in Oakland."
Yes, it is true that many people have been injured or even died because of you, but you have also saved many people, and what is even more commendable is that no one asked you to do this...""
It's up to you to decide to do it.""
Being forced to do good and volunteering to do good may have the same result, but for the rescuer himself, it is a completely different concept.When I see you, I can't help but think of Steve...
Although you and him, may be two completely different people. ”Ms.
Carter's hands folded on her abdomen, she said to Merlin, "Take off your glasses, Merlin, and let me see your face." ”This request made Merlin hesitate a little, and he said, "Ms.
Carter, my eyes may scare you...""
Scaring me?"
Peggy.
Carter let out a burst of laughter, she looked at Merlin, and she said, "Son, I've been through so many weird, bad, disgusting, or sad things in my life, I've seen so many things, but none of them scared me...
Look, what a beautiful pair of eyes, like the most beautiful embers after the flames have burned out. ”Ms.
Carter spun in a wheelchair and came to Merlin's side, where she reached out and tenderly touched Merlin's cheek, observing his eyes as if she were looking at the most beautiful jewel in the world.In Ms.
Carter's eyes, Merlin felt no disgust or resistance, it was the first time he had been treated so kindly by a stranger.He was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to respond to this sincere kindness.It wasn't until a few minutes later that Ms.
Carter's wheelchair stepped back a bit, and she squinted her eyes with a soft smile that she said to Merlin, "Merlin, do you want to be a hero?"
Just like Steve. ”"I..."
It is no exaggeration to say that every child in this land has grown up listening to the legend of Captain America, and he was speechless for a while in the face of Carter's question.Ms.
Carter smiled at Merlin and said, "I know, I know, there could be only one perfect person like Steve." ”"But what he has, you have.You've all seen the darkness, you've all longed for the light, you've all been willing to help others, you've all had compassion for the victims, and even the source of strength is exactly the same..."
Ms.
Carter stretched out her hand and gently shook Merlin's slightly cold hands, and she said softly, with a hint of encouragement, "Merlin, give yourself a chance, give it a try." ”()
