At dawn, Merlin was delivered by a luxury car to the entrance of a villa in Brooklyn.He wore his gray casual suit, which never gets dirty, and carried some gifts in his hand.That was prepared for him by Pierce, and I heard that Ms.
Carter's condition has not been good lately, so this time, Merlin also came to visit his old boss in place of Chief Pierce.When Merlin arrived, a young, somewhat familiar lady was already waiting for him at the entrance to the villa."
Hello, Mr.
Merlin."
The young, probably only 20-year-old lady, led Merlin in the front, and she was very polite."
The last time we met, I didn't have time to ask."
Merlin whispered, "You and Ms.
Carter, yes?"
”"I'm Aunt Carter's niece."
Miss, who had a 6-point resemblance to Ms.
Carter, turned to look at Merlin, smiled, and said, "Just call me Sharon." ”She opened the door for Merlin and whispered, "Go, Mr.
Merlin, Auntie is waiting for you." ”"Well, thank you."
Merlin whispered thanks to Miss Sharon, then handed her the gift and walked into the living room of the villa.After entering the living room, he noticed that there were many pictures hanging on the walls of this villa.There was the heroic Ms.
Carter and the handsome Howard when she was young.
Stark's group photo, with Ms.
Carter holding Tony as a child.
Stark's photo, as well as a photo taken by Ms.
Carter when she was alone in the office.The photographs are arranged in a certain order, with Ms.
Carter becoming more mature, aging, and appearing more and more lonely, always alone.But at the end of the photo wall, in that last one, Ms.
Carter is young again, like an abrupt turn, and like a sealed memory, the best memory.In that photo, she is smiling and hugging a young man who is also laughing.The young man was dressed in a World War II soldier's uniform, and he held a round shield with a five-pointed star in his hand.He has blonde hair, large eyes, and a handsome face.This is a black-and-white photograph with the background of the photo as if you were on a battlefield.Merlin stood in front of the picture, and he could probably guess the identity of this warrior, the most legendary superhero in history, Captain America Steve.
Rogers.He is also the man that Ms.
Carter loved all her life.Unfortunately, he disappeared in 1945 and has not been heard from since."
Steve doesn't really like this picture," Ms.
Carter's voice came from the living room, her weak voice tinged with a hint of nostalgia that could not be erased, "and he always thought that the photographer didn't take his hair properly."
But I like it, but I don't have many options, and when we were together, we basically spent it on the battlefield and didn't leave a few photos.I'll just pick the best one of them. ”"It's actually perfect."
Merlin glanced at the photograph again, and he said, "It's like the best memory, hidden deep in my heart, never fading." ”"Hehe, you little young man, you can really talk."
Ms.
Carter smiled and said, "Come in, Merlin."
Merlin quietly walked into the living room, where he sat on the couch across from Ms.
Carter, unintimidated.In Oakland a few years ago, he had met Ms.
Carter, who had black hair mixed with some gray hair, but now her hair was completely white and her face was wrinkled.It looked like he had aged a decade overnight.She was weak, she was leaning back on the couch with an infusion tube in her arm and a respirator in her nostrils.But those eyes were still gentle, still bright, just as they had been years ago.Ms.
Carter looked at Merlin, smiled, and humorously, "The doctor said I couldn't see a client for a long time, so we were pressed for time."
Do you know?
It used to be that Fury would always come to see me, and he would come with lots and lots of bad news and ask for my advice, which annoyed me.It's not that they can't let an old man who has retired live out his old age in peace. ”She sighed: "I'm old, and many times I can't do it. ”"I've heard what happened to Pierce, but the current era is not my era after all.In times of peace, politicians use intrigue as a means of attacking their opponents, which is despicable, but there is nothing we can do to change it.Thankfully, with your help, he got through, and that's good. ”"So, let's talk about it, Merlin.What bad news did you bring me again this time?
”"It's about aliens.""
Fury encounters an alien attack in California called the Skorul and a blonde girl who claims to be a Cree, but she's actually an Earthling, and she's been involved in the Pegasus Project," Merlin said.And from her, we know that both the Cree and the Skoru are here for some kind of product of that plan. ”Merlin paused, he looked at Ms.
Carter in front of him, and said, "So, I'm here to ask you, the Pegasus Project...
What is it?
And why was it abruptly stopped?
”"Project Pegasus...
Let me think. ”Peggy.
Carter's eyes were closed, as if recalling the secrets in his mind, and after a few minutes, Ms.
Carter called out to her niece Sharon, who was busy in the kitchen, "Little Sharon, I remember Howard left some papers in my garage."
You go find the documents for me about the Pegasus Project. ”Sharon answered and walked out of the room.Peggy.
Carter turned to look at Merlin, and she said, "Project Pegasus, that's an energy experiment that Howard hosted, and he told me a few things.The purpose of that experiment seems to be to discover new energy sources.He said that if the experiment is successful, it will be equivalent to giving wings to the technology of human civilization, so he called it the 'Pegasus' project. ”"That Wendy.

Lawson, the name, do you have an impression?
”Merlin asked, and Ms.
Carter nodded, "Yes, I remember it quite clearly." ”"Dr.
Lawson is a top scientist in high-energy physics that Howard invited from Europe, and I personally handled the entry procedures for her to enter the Pegasus Project.As far as I can remember, the doctor was a very talkative man, curious about everything...
She was about the same age as Howard and had silver hair, but she had a lot of energy and often stayed up late to work. ”"It is precisely because of her participation that the experimental process of the Pegasus Project has been advanced very quickly."
Ms.
Carter told Merlin, "I remember that in 1988, Dr.
Lawson made a prototype of a new energy engine.Howard used the equipment of his own factory to complete the assembly of the prototype ...
They put it on a beautiful, avant-garde silver plane, and they gave it a cool name...""
They called it 'Isis,' and I've seen it with my own eyes, and it's really beautiful, like a silver shuttle."
Peggy.
Carter smiled at Merlin, and she said with some regret, "But alas, the plane crashed during the test flight."
Dr.
Lawson and the test pilot died in the disaster, and I remember that during that time, Howard was angry and agitated because when he was examining the wreckage of the plane, he didn't find the source of power he gave to Dr.
Lawson...
He thinks that it was the thing that caused Isis's crash. ”He thought it was all a mistake he had made in too much urgency.Without the energy source, the Pegasus Project lost the material of the root, and naturally it could not be promoted, and in 1989, it came to an end. ”This is the end of Carter's story about Project Pegasus.But Merlin's expression was not clear, on the contrary, his eyes were full of seriousness, he looked at Ms.
Carter, and he said, "But according to the information I have received...
Ms., Wendy.
Lawson, whose true identity is a spy sent to Earth by the Cree, her real name is Mar.
Will. ”Merlin recalls what he'd heard about the conversation between Firth and the alien "Yong", and tells it all to Miss Carter, saying, "It is said that she discovered a special energy fluctuation on Earth, and she thought that energy could help the Cree defeat the Skorulds, which is why she came to Earth." ”"Huh?"
Ms.
Carter's expression suddenly became serious, she looked at Merlin, and she said, "Can you be sure of the authenticity of this news?"
”"Yes!
I can. ”Merlin nodded and said, "This is what I personally heard from a Cree soldier." ”"Ahh If that's the case. ”Peggy.
Carter's eyes narrowed, and a flash of realization flashed in the eyes of the previous agent's queen, and she whispered, "If that's the case, then everything can be explained." ”Howard's frustration at the time was not blaming himself for killing Dr.
Lawson and the female pilot, he should have discovered Lawson's true identity from the wreckage.He was in a hurry to shut down the Pegasus Project, not just because the energy source was destroyed, but because...
Howard realized the seriousness of the problem. ”"If Lawson is really an alien and comes because of the energy source, that means...
The energy source, perhaps, is not destroyed. ”Ms.
Carter's fingers clenched, she looked at Merlin, and she said, "That energy source should have been taken!"
By the Kree!
”"You've been saying 'energy source,' what the hell is that thing?"
Merlin asked curiously, "Was the Pegasus Project inspired by that 'energy source'?"
”"That's a question you shouldn't ask."
Peggy.
Carter glanced at Merlin, and she said slowly, with a hint of sternness, "Because this is top-secret information."
But since it happened suddenly, and it was determined that Wendy.
Lawson's identity, then as a member of the Strategic Science Corps, Merlin, I can tell you, but you must keep your mouth shut!
”"You should know that in 1945, my lover Steve.
Rogers disappeared, right?
”Ms.
Carter sighed, she lowered her head, and said to Merlin: "It wasn't just Steve who disappeared at that time, there was also a super energy source obtained by the ** mad scientist, the leader of the group of madmen, Red Skull Schmidt, called it 'Cosmic Rubik', which is a cube of blue energy polymer, and the energy contained in it can easily tear up our world, but it is very stable, like eternal peace." ”"Steve crashed into the Arctic Ocean with a strategic plane used to blow up the West Coast."
Unwilling to believe that his best friend had died, Howard funded an expedition to search for the missing Steve in the Arctic Circle.Maybe it was providence that he couldn't find his friend, but he found the cosmic Rubik's Cube. ”Peggy.
Carter opened the photo album he had in hand, took out a photo, and handed it to Merlin.The latter was in his hand, and the photo showed the young Howard, holding a fluorescent cube object in his hand with some kind of mechanical artifact."
Ever since Howard got the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, he's been trying to study it.Howard believes that it is a technological creation of some more advanced civilization, and by studying it, the world's scientific and technological level can be rapidly improved. ”"But that thing was too dangerous, because we stored it in the warehouses of the Strategic Science Corps until 1980...
Howard relied on the continuous progress of science and technology to finally create a device that can smoothly extract the power of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. ”Ms.

Carter shook her head: "It was also that year that he found Wendy.
Lawson helps him.Now it seems that it is simply a wolf into the house!
”"But if that Lawson really came here for the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, then she definitely didn't die in 1989, maybe she just faked her death and left Earth with the Cosmic Rubik's Cube...""
Nope!
Ma'am, I'm almost certain that she didn't take it with her!
”Merlin said to Ms.
Carter, "The Cree man never said that Lawson had returned from his mission, and if she had indeed returned to Harrah, there would have been no way that Firth, who had been a bystander to that incident, would have survived."
On top of that, the Skorul came to Earth in search of what Lawson had left on Earth. ”"That suggests that she may have taken the Rubik's Cube with her, but she hid it somewhere, and I suspect that, Ma.
Will may have died in the crash. ”"Firth?
Who's that?
”Ms.
Carter nodded, acknowledging Merlin's analysis, and she noticed another detail: "That name sounds strange. ”"Firth is the Earth girl who thinks she is a Kree, and Fury is taking her on a quest for clues from the past, trying to make her remember who she is."
Merlin explains, "Firth had remembered that she was a participant in the Pegasus Project, and she knew Wendy.
Lawson, and was involved in that test flight.After the plane crash in 1989, she was taken to the capital of the Cree and has not returned until now. ”"The timing and events are indeed right."
Ms.
Carter nodded, and she said to Merlin, "I have seen the report of the crash of the plane, because the two test pilots of the 'Isis' plane at that time were women, so I remember it very well.In those years, female pilots were still relatively rare, so I remember one named Maria.The other, as if called..."
Peggy.
Carter rubbed his forehead and said, "Carol?
”"Yes, Auntie, you're not mistaken."
As the two spoke, the voice of Ms.
Carter's niece, Sharon, was heard, and the young girl took a dusty box and placed it on the coffee table in front of Merlin's eyes, then took a document from the box and handed it to him.Merlin took the file and turned the first page, and saw a photo of a blonde woman in a flight suit, boarding a fighter jet.And the person in the photo is Firth who has lost his memory!
Miss Sharon pointed to the name of the pilot on the document and said to Merlin, "The female pilot who has been convicted of death is called Carol.
Danvers.There is another female pilot named Maria.
Rambo, a single mother, quit her job and returned to her hometown with her daughter after Carol's death. ”"Where's her hometown?"
Merlin asked, looking at Carol's profile.Sharon.
Carter picked up another document, she looked at it, and said to Merlin, "The information is recorded, it should be...""
Louisiana, right?"
Merlin looked at Sharon and said the answer in advance, and Sharon paused and nodded.Merlin picked up the papers in his hand, and said to Miss Carter in front of him, "Fury is there too, and the Scolruls are probably there, I can't afford to delay, I need to leave at once, Ms.
Carter." ”"Wait, Merlin."
As Merlin was leaving, Ms.
Carter suddenly called out to him, and Merlin turned around and heard Ms.
Carter say, "There's something I need to ask you for." ”()
