"Whoa" was just as it had come, and with the distortion of the light, several agents returned to where they had set out at dawn.In the laboratory on the upper floors of the Trident building, Fury, Hill, and Pierce are already waiting for them there."
Where is he?"
Alexander.
Pierce seemed a little impatient, and he said to Merlin, "Did you really bring him back?"
”"Of course."
Merlin shook the ice chips off his arm, he reached out, reached into his pocket, and made a grabbing motion, and the next moment, a black, long metal biopod was placed in front of Pierce's eyes.Fury stepped forward, grabbed the lid of the bio pod, and lifted it outward.With the overflowing cold, the scene in the biological cabin appeared in front of everyone's eyes.A battle hero frozen in 67, a veteran far from home, a lonely watchman, a warrior waiting for rescue."
Sure enough, it's him."
Fury didn't care about the icy cold, he reached out and touched the very smooth ice that had been cut, and beside him, the big man of the World Security Council also stretched out his finger and slid on the ice."
It's exactly like the combat uniforms on display in his exhibition hall."
Pierce pushed his glasses, he looked carefully at Captain America in the ice, he looked at the person in front of him, as if relieved, he said, "I can finally have an explanation for those veterans." ”Beside him, Fury nodded with relief.Merlin knew what they meant.In this part of North America, generations of veterans are still closely connected, and they have their own organizations, like unions.On the battlefield, they help each other, and in life, they are equally united.Old Stan, whom Merlin knew, was a member of the Veterans Organization and a regional representative.The forces formed by these veterans are also very scary, they even have a certain influence in the political circles, and as far as Merlin knows, almost every year, those veterans, led by the old men who survived World War II, put pressure on the government to send more expeditions to the North Pole to find the missing American Captain Steve.
Rogers.Of course, 67 years have passed since this incident, and the current pressure operation is more like a means to maintain organizational cohesion, but it is undeniable that in the minds of many World War II veterans, Steve .
Rodgers' life and death are still important, just like Coulson, many veterans are loyal fans of Steve.They don't care who the president is, whether he's black or white, but they care a lot if their idols are still alive.In the years since Captain America disappeared, the gossip about the fact that the captain is still alive has not subsided, and Merlin's friend, cartoonist Stan Sr., is a loyal follower of this argument.He thinks that like Steve.
Someone like Rogers wouldn't die so quietly."
Here are some of Steve's belongings we found under the ice."
Natasha took out a pocket and scattered the contents on the table next to her, including Steve.
Rogers' dog tags, his officer ID, and his pocket watch, which had been frozen for decades and had long since ceased to move, was generally intact.Fury picked up the pocket watch, wiped it down his sleeve, and gently opened it.Inside is a black and white photo.It's Peggy.
Photograph of Ms.
Carter when she was younger."
The relationship between the two of them is really good."
Merlin spoke suddenly.The others also nodded silently, as they were not familiar with the inside story, it was easy to think of the disappearance of the captain and the decades of waiting for Ms.
Carter.But for Merlin, there are other meanings in his words.These people don't know that Ms.
Carter is not alone in these decades, maybe this Steve is missing, but there is another Steve by her side.Alas, the relationship between them is too complicated."
How are we going to unfreeze him?"
Merlin looked back at the re-closed biopod, and said, "Although he still has signs of life, it is no exaggeration to say that that little bit of vitality is worse than a candle in the wind."
In his current situation, any mistake in the thawing process, even if it was just a small one, would send this poor man to real hell or heaven. ”"Dr.
Hall is designing an instrument that can be perfectly thawed."
Fury placed the pocket watch on the table, looked at the biopod behind him, and said, "But I think maybe we need help from the other side."
I'm going to get a couple of healers from the Magic Congress over on the day of the thaw. ”"Well, good choice."
Merlin said, "Healers can maintain this poor man's vitality to the maximum, the combination of magic and technology will indeed greatly increase his chances of survival, will he wake up in the near future?"
”"Not in the near future."
Fury shook his head: "The meaning he represents is too important, I won't risk waking him up until the perfect execution of the thawing procedure is guaranteed."
The process of this trial can take months, even years, but fortunately, we are not in a hurry. ”"Oh, by the way, Merlin, there's one more thing."
Fury seemed to remember something, and he said to Merlin: "Steve's shield, the shield that accompanied him on the battlefield, is still stored in the Stark family, I want you to go and get that shield back, I think, after Steve wakes up, seeing familiar things will make him feel better...
After all, no matter who you are, after 70 years of sleep, you will be a little angry when you wake up. ”"Why did you let me go?"
Merlin frowned, and he said, "Me and Tony.
Stark's relationship wasn't good.Maybe you can send someone else. ”He glanced back at Natasha, the Black Widow, who was talking to Clint, and said, "Natasha is a good fit...
As far as I know, that playboy has always had little resistance to beautiful women. ”A strange smile appeared on Merlin's lips, and he said, "Speaking of which, Sharon once told me a joke that Ms.
Carter used to comment on Tony's father, Mr.
Howard, saying that as long as a shark's skirt was short enough, Mr.
Stark would even think it wouldn't bite...
Tony is the same, and his style is a little wilder than his father's. ”"I think Natasha only needs to show 3 points of seduction, and getting a shield from Tony is a matter of hand-to-hand capture.""
Well, I was going to send a female agent too."
Fury shrugged his shoulders and said to Merlin, "But do you know how that guy replied to me?"
”"Huh?"
Merlin looked back at Fury, and the boiled egg head said to him, "Tony told our agent very bluntly that if you want that shield, let Merlin.

Riley came personally...
He said that he would not give the shield to anyone but you. ”"Hell!"
Merlin rubbed his forehead with a headache, and said, "I really don't want to deal with that guy, he's annoying, and...
He's been struggling with what happened back then.Ms.
Carter had told me not to tell him the truth about it, she knew her nephew well, and she knew that there had always been an impulsive and reckless mood in Tony's character. ”Merlin said: "With the current situation, if he had known that Hydra had killed his parents, the repressive posture we had worked so hard to maintain would probably collapse because of his nonsense...
It doesn't matter what his personal ability is, the main thing is that the influence of Stark Industries in his hands is too great.I don't want to make this known, you say?
”"I was worried before, too."
Fury narrowed his eyes and whispered, "But then I realized that our worries were a little unnecessary. ”"Directly responsible, the Winter Soldier is dead, isn't he?
You might as well let him check, now that Hydra has started to dive, the clues we can find are always limited, so it's better to let a third party enter and muddy the water, maybe he can find some clues that we ignore...
From an outsider's point of view, he always finds something we don't see. ”"It's an uncontrollable factor, Fury, you have to think about it."
Merlin hesitated, and said, "Besides, I'm more and more skeptical now that the Winter Soldier was really dead.I just recently met a guy who came back from the dead...""
I even doubt that Howard.
Is Stark really dead..."
Merlin's statement made Fury frown, and he asked, "Do you know anything else?"
”"No, not yet."
Merlin shook his head, and he said, "It's just some clues now, and I can't be sure yet."
Why don't I sneak into Tony's manor and 'take' that shield out?
”"Well, it's not impossible."
Fury thought for a moment, and then he said to Merlin, "Then go and go back quickly...
I am absolutely convinced of your abilities. ”"Okay, I'll deal with this in a few days."
Merlin looked down at his pocket watch, and he said goodbye to Fury, "I have to go, there are still some things to attend to over there at the ghost base."
I'll send it back when I get my shield. ”"Okay, I'll wait for your news."————————————————————— "Wow" said goodbye to Fury, and Merlin returned to the ghost base in Kansas with a shapeshifting charm.No sooner had he landed in his office than he heard a welcome."
Is this magic?"
The confused voice of the big-headed George made Merlin turn his head, only to see George sitting in a strange metal chair, holding a wine bottle in his hand, looking decadent.The thing he sat on had a device behind it that resembled Winston's jetpack, blue plasma flames fluttering through the jet vent, allowing the misshapen George to levitate in the air.His head was too big and too heavy for him to move in a normal posture at all."
Where did this thing come from?"
Merlin didn't answer George's question, he looked at George's chair and said, "It's quite chic." ”"Oh, this."
George patted his chair and said to Merlin, "This is what I just did, in the workshop at the base, Winston helped design the prototype.But it's still raw, the jetpack could be improved again, and I'm planning to make another one in a few days that suits me better. ”"Can Winston's jetpack be mass-produced?"
Merlin took two cigars out of the drawer and gave one to George, and in his present state of mind, he continued to vent his frustration with some pastime.George didn't refuse the kindness, he took the cigar and put it to his lips with some difficulty, Merlin reached out and snapped his fingers, and the dancing flame lit him and George's cigar together."
UhhNot tonight...
I'm going to drink tonight. ”Somewhat half-drunk, he dangled around Merlin's office with a suspended chair, and said, "Agent Merlin, you're a really good guy, you saved me twice...
Your subordinates are also very nice, they don't discriminate against me, you see, I'm a monster...
I should probably be in this base, I'm going to stay here for the rest of my life, I'm going to freak out the rest of the people...""
I have a solution."
Merlin leaned back at his desk, smoking a cigarette and said to a half-drunk George, "A way to do it without a guarantee of success...
We have a process of body transformation here, which can theoretically be exposed to all the transfiguration curses and curse effects applied to the human body, and your situation is due to the emergence of energy radiation, which can also be regarded as a metamorphosis curse.But I'll tell you the truth, George, first of all, I don't know if it can relieve you of your current situation, and secondly, it's painful..."
Merlin said to the hovering drunkard in front of him, "It may be as painful as when you were tested, and your psychic power is very strong, which means that you can't be hypnotized, and you will feel that pain more clearly than anyone else...""
Will it allow me to get back to the way I used to be?"
George threw away the bottle, his fist-sized eyes sparkling with supplication."
I'm not sure, but I think it should work," Merlin said.You don't need to go through a complete mutational transformation, you just need to go through the first half, using some inducers to open up the potential of your body and make the most primitive reorganization of your twisted body. ”"It may succeed, but it may also fail.""
Needless to say!"
George clenched his fists and said to Merlin, "Arrange it for me, the sooner the better!"
”"It hurts, George," Merlin said, "that's...""
I've made up my mind!"
The big-headed George manipulated the chair to levitate in front of Merlin's eyes, and he said sincerely: "I don't want these things, these abilities, I just want to change back to my original self...
I don't want to be a monster, help me!

”"That's...
All right. ”Merlin nodded, and he said to George, "You are still a little weak, you need to recuperate, and when your body is at its healthiest, I will arrange your experiment...
But I want you to be mentally prepared. ”"In my opinion, that process is much more painful than real death
