Steve walked into the church a little dazed, it wasn't his first time here, but it had never been a struggle like this.Most of the people who were able to enter the church were unknown to Steve, but there were a few acquaintances, such as a few logistics doctors who were friends with Howard, and he also saw a blind Nick Fury here, rarely wearing a military uniform, standing in the shadows on the inside of the gate like a security guard."
Steve."
Fury sighed and accosted Captain America, and as if he didn't know what to say, he could only pat his arm comfortingly.The Black Agent didn't know Mr.
Wilson well, except that he was one of the key sponsors of the SSR and the Logistics Service, and that he was like Steve.So he came, maybe not for a simple purpose, but he came anyway."
Nick."
Steve nodded at him and looked in the direction of the altar, where the huge coffin was now placed, "Is Peggy here?"
”Fury shook his head, and he also looked at the crowd in front of him: "She needs to go to the White House to meet the president today and attend the ministerial-level security meeting, and she really can't leave." ”Steve gritted his teeth but only let out a long sigh, he didn't say anything more, and walked straight ahead.The coffin was open for relatives and friends to look at, and Gin was standing beside the coffin and weeping bitterly, wiping his eyes and cheeks with a small handkerchief from time to time.At this time, a bald middle-aged man in a wheelchair was talking to her, too far away for Steve to hear what was said, he could only see the man pushing the wheelchair to the coffin and barely looking, and the expression on his face became extremely strange.Then the bald head left the altar and returned to a corner without saying a word, and there was a middle-aged man with silver hair beside him, with a very serious face, wearing a dark red jacket, looking dusty.As the line in front of her got shorter and shorter, it was finally Steve's turn, and at this time, Xiao Wang and the secret guest were holding Gin, and she seemed to be crying so hard that she couldn't stand still.Steve didn't know how to speak, so he could only rub his palm on his pants and whisper, "I'm coming." ”Gin looked up at him and showed a bitter smile: "It's good to be here." ”"What's going on?
Why so suddenly?
”Steve was dragged by Gin to the coffin, only to see a half-charred corpse lying among the flowers in a crisp suit.A large portrait of Slade was nailed to the face of the corpse with several medical staples.He finally understood why the bald head had a strange face before, and it was too much to put a photo on his face, but even so, his heart was already full of grief, and he couldn't care about those details.Gin wiped his tears and said breathlessly: "Last night he went out alone, saying that he was going to see you at the place where you live, and brought you your favorite hamburger, but he had a car accident because of a heart attack on the road, and when the fire brigade arrived, he finally snatched his body out of the wreckage of the burning vehicle" Xiao Wang handed over a brown paper bag at this time, this paper bag has traces of fire, as well as traces of dry powder caused by fire extinguishing agent, and the black and yellow W logo is painted on it, It's a very common Wilson fast food.Steve reached into the paper bag with a trembling hand and pulled out a burger wrapped in confetti, the bread was already cold, and the meat filling was oozing grease, leaving a wet patch on the paper.It all reminded Steve of the past, when he and Bucky went to the docks to look for work, and that's what he ate and took home, which was ground beef and fried in oil, which was the food he was most familiar with.Even after all these years, he still often goes to eat it, remembering the days with Bucky, the carefree days when he was a child.And as the memories filled, Slade's face kept coming back to his mind, and he took the two out to dinner, took them to the amusement park, and taught them a lot of truths.During World War II, he even flew a plane through the German blockade to the front line to visit him, and after the war, he also helped himself in various ways.But now, he died on the way to give him a burger, and even the body was burned so that even if Gin didn't say anything to blame, Steve would never forgive himself, he held a bag of burgers to his chest and cried bitterly, knelt down next to the coffin, and reached out to grab the corpse's hand."
It's all my fault, I shouldn't have seen you for so long, Godfather, it's all my fault" He hung on the edge of the coffin like mud, eager to jump into the coffin himself to replace the godfather, crying silently.Holleway, who was talking to the priest on the side, hurriedly came over to help him: "Steve, cheer up, he has always had all kinds of geriatric diseases, but he didn't tell you about it.His loss is a great loss for us, he sponsored my hospital to help the poor who do not have health insurance, and set up a public welfare fund to save thousands of people, he is a good person. ”Not to mention that it is okay, but when it comes to this, Steve remembers that during the Great Depression, half of New York was all dependent on Slade to survive, and he was considered a saint by many people."
Whew!"
Steve choked up, and he grabbed one of the corpse's arms and refused to let go.At this time, Howard appeared next to Steve, and set him up with Holiday left and right, and said: "Don't delay too long, he was very punctual when he was alive, and there is a clause in his will that he wants to be buried as soon as possible." ”"No, let me spend a little more time with him, it's all my fault!"
Steve stubbornly refused to leave, and he could spend an entire day with Holloway.Howard and Hollerway exchanged a look, and the two dragged Steve out hard, and Hollerway persuaded from the doctor's point of view: "The body is very badly damaged, and even the mortuary can't repair it, and I'm afraid it will stink if it doesn't go into the ground" Steve: "Woo!
”Howard also persuaded: "Yes, there are still so many people waiting to pay respects and lay flowers, even if you guard the coffin again, Slade will not be able to live, if in his own words, it will be dead." ”Steve: "Wow!
”He didn't pay any attention to what the two were saying, just staring at the picture of the corpse nailed to the face in the coffin.The two dragged him two steps away, and as soon as he exerted his strength, he threw himself back to the coffin, and after dragging him a little further, he threw himself back again.The three of them were like a see-saw, and staged a scene by the coffin that the filial son did not want to believe in reality, and the representatives from all walks of life who participated in the memorial service were moved to tears.However, how can the charred corpse who was held by Steve withstand this kind of toss?
The body of the homeless man recovered from Hollerway Hospital did not have an X metal skeleton, so under the wrestling between the two sides, with a crisp sound, the arm was broken.The charred forearm came out of the sleeve of the suit and was held in Steve's hand, the black bone and flesh separated, and the slimy, cold charred skin drooped on Steve's arm.All three of them were stunned, and the priest not far away had his eyes wide, he had never seen a family member who would have removed the deceased's arm.Howard and Holiday let go of Steve in an instant, as if subconsciously keeping their distance from him.Steve looked at the severed arm in his hand, and then looked at the people with frightened expressions on the side, and his heart, which was already filled with shame and sadness, was even worse, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he fainted straight.
