The only thing in the ward was the soft ticking of monitoring equipment, and the faint smell of disinfectant water filled the air, and what was once known as the Brooklyn Nursing Home for the Elderly was renamed Hollerway Charity Hospital after World War II and became a comprehensive hospital.Steve always thought that it was he who introduced Holiday as a teammate to his godfather that allowed him to get the investment.I don't know how much better the conditions here are now than they were back then.The snow-white ward, the equipment full of technology, the corridor without the smell of urine, and the very professional and friendly medical staff, everything is perfect.It's just that if you don't have to go to the hospital, it's the best.The person lying on the bed was Bucky, and the glasses he thought of as his body were placed next to the head of the bed.In a battle with the fake Red Skull ten years ago, Bucky was unfortunately hit by cosmic energy, and although he was rescued and saved, he has been stuck in a vegetative state until now, and has not awakened.Steve hasn't cared about S.H.I.E.L.D. at all since then, even if Fury has come to ask him for help countless times, he doesn't have the heart.Because those are not major events related to the survival of the earth, in fact, they are just actions aimed at other countries to help the Security Council exclude dissent.The real Captain America will not participate in such a thing, the United States itself is getting stronger and stronger, and it still continues to carry out a series of 'weapon' experiments, build giant robots that can kill people, build concentration camps to brutally suppress mutants, and beat anyone who is disobedient in the international community.What is the difference between this and the Austrian corporal?
Whenever Fury, dressed in black, came to him in the middle of the night, Steve would always say when he refused: "They have ten divisions of 'new Captain America', you have a lot of dark secrets, but I'm an old antique who won't help the military or S.H.I.E.L.D. rule the earth, my whole life has been fighting all kinds of dictators and terrorist organizations, but unfortunately today's America is what my former enemies are, and I can't leave my home with my country, Fury, if you don't plan to kill me." ”How can a boiled egg kill the captain?
He is actually very wronged, although he is not a particularly clean kind of person, but the things that Steve said were all done by the United States."
I'll come to see you next time."
Fury would always walk away in disgrace and secretly arrange for people to help Steve stop the military.In short, Steve has lived a relatively quiet life over the years, spending most of his time in the hospital, bringing his own sketchpads and tools, and often rushing to the hospital room.The cartoons he drew are still serialized in the daily Clarion Daily, and many single books have been published, and the results are not particularly good, nor are they particularly bad.This is his biggest source of livelihood today, in addition to pensions and veterans' benefits.There is also a benefit to rushing in the ward, that is, after drawing for a while, I will think about standing up and helping Bucky massage the muscles of his whole body, and by the way, see if the parameters on the equipment are normal, and I can change my thinking.Steve, who wasn't very good at these technological devices, can now be considered half a doctor.It was late again, he put away the sketches, put them on the bedside table, locked them, and after massaging Bucky, he was ready to go home for dinner, he patted the old man's arm and said that he would come back tomorrow."
Are you ready to go home?
Want to be together?
”A head appeared at the door of the ward, and it was a woman with blonde hair, looking at him with a smile.Steve smiled back, a young nurse who had arrived at the hospital last year.He accidentally discovered that she was actually a neighbor with him, and it was not particularly safe on the streets at night, so the two often went home together."
Of course, do you want to go and eat something first?"
Steve covered Bucky and walked out of the room to see the girl who had changed into a nurse's uniform, "I know an old shop is still open at this time, if you don't mind having dinner with the old man." ”The girl smiled, she turned and walked beside Steve: "Who would refuse to eat with Captain America?"
Besides, you don't look old, you still look like you're in your twenties. ”"Well, it seems that I can't get more mature."
Steve smiled and shook his head, and the two walked out of the hospital and out onto the street.It's still the same on a midsummer night, and the city of New York always feels wet, whether it's the moisture from the winds on the beach or the roadside sewage left behind by poor drainage on the roadside.But the two talked and laughed along the way, and even though the topic was mostly about Bucky's condition, the girl listened patiently to Steve's opinion, which was completely different from Peggy's attitude.Peggy and Steve are still in the cold war, so she simply goes back to live in England, saying that when he has figured out what to do with the two of them, he will go to her again.But Steve can't leave, and he still has to take care of Bucky.As a result, the relationship between the 'old couples' has become weaker, and no one will take the initiative to contact anyone, and I don't know how long this situation will last.After dinner, the two returned to the old residential building and said goodnight to each other at their respective doors, and Steve, smiling, closed the door and hung the keyring around the neck of the soldier on the cabinet next to the door.It's his own soldier, Wilson's fast-food chain, and every time he comes out with a new look, he always brings him a set.Over time, he also amassed an army of his own."
If I were you, I wouldn't have left the key so close to the door."
A hoarse voice came from the darkness, but the living room was pitch black, as if there was nothing.Steve's hand paused, then pressed the light switch.Sure enough, Fury, who was invisible in the dark, was still sitting on the sofa, and he just couldn't see it just now."
No matter where I put my key, don't you just want to go in?"
He took off his brown jacket and hung it behind the door, revealing the army-green T-shirt he was wearing inside, and his strong muscles tightened the top of the clothes: "Drink something?"
I have vigorous drinks, and milk. ”Fury hadn't smiled since he became director, but with the captain, his expression was much more softened."
It's still my working time, just drink milk, I'm here to ask you to help me protect New York."
The black man pulled his tablet out of his trench coat pocket, clicked on a video, and turned it around to show it to Steve.Steve walked into the kitchen first, took a bottle of orange soda from the fridge and took a sip before taking the tablet, the beginning of the video already in pass.All he could see was a huge green lizard-like creature swimming in the sea, and Howard's son, now Tony the Iron Man, was engaged with an air strike that tickled."
What is this?
Did the military experiment with gamma rays with lizards again?
”He put down the soda bottle and scratched his hair: "If they are always carrying out this kind of weapon experiments that try to destroy humanity endlessly, I can support you to run for president, and maybe stop these evil plans." ”The black chief stood up and beckoned out of the window, and the Kun fighter plane appeared straight out of the window, and the rear cabin was aimed at the window of the living room: "It's not something made up by the military, but now it's really coming towards New York, and when you were eating pasta with the young girl, did you notice the white light in the sky?"
Get on the plane and I'll explain it to you slowly. ”"You're spying on me again."
Steve sighed, but he walked to the bedroom anyway and dragged out a large box from under the bed, his uniform and shield were there: "I noticed the white light, but I thought it was a passing car that didn't turn off its high beams." ”The boiled egg pushed open the window, first rolled out, and jumped into the cabin: "That's not surveillance, but protection." ”"First of all, I'm fighting to protect New York and innocent people, and I'm not going to listen to any orders from you or the military, but I'm going to make my own decisions.At the same time, I can't let this monster land, I need a more professional team, not this kind of child's flying toy. ”Steve pointed to Tony on the tablet, the mechanical armor was good, but the person wearing the armor was not a qualified fighter.Fury stretched out his hand and pulled Steve, who had quickly changed his equipment, into the Quint fighter, his hand was still as black as it was decades ago: "Just like we said before, you are the squad commander, captain." ”
