Director Fury pondered for a moment and said calmly, "Hidden in the dark and doing something petty, this is definitely not what they want to see."
"You mean, the remnants of Hydra still have a backup plan, and they might make a big move in the future?"
Steve and Natasha looked at each other, and there was a little more vigilance in both of their eyes. However, after fighting with the alien forces, they no longer regarded the remnants of Hydra as their number one enemy.
"Okay, you don't have to work today, go home and have a good rest."
After the report was completed, Director Fury approved a week-long vacation for Steve and others.
"Let's go have a drink tonight?"
Steve looked at Natasha, who smiled charmingly and said, "No problem."
While the three people in the conference hall were still talking, the cup of boiled water on the table suddenly vibrated slightly, and ripples spread out in circles.
"This is?"
Steve and the others looked at each other in surprise. They could feel that the whole building was shaking, especially the tempered floor-to-ceiling windows, which kept buzzing and almost cracked under the pressure.
"Outside, the sky!"
Steve and Natasha reacted very quickly, standing up one after the other and quickly walking towards the French window. They looked up at the blue sky and saw two dark clouds covering the sun, which were still descending and falling towards the open space in front of the headquarters.
"Alien spaceship?" Fury narrowed his eyes solemnly. The two dark clouds were exactly two interstellar fighters with roaring engines.
"that is… "
Natasha was stunned for a moment. After seeing the outline of a spaceship, she blurted out excitedly, "It's the master! It's the master's interstellar fighter. They're back!"
In front of the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building.
The dusty Eagle and orange fighters slowly landed on the open space. Fortunately, the square was spacious enough and isolated from the bustling urban area outside, otherwise it would have caused such a sensation.
Director Fury walked in front, followed closely by Steve and Natasha, and behind them were a dozen high-ranking SHIELD officials. When everyone got close to the fighter plane, the rear hatch deck of the Hawk fighter opened downwards.
A very eye-catching young man with silver hair and golden eyes, wearing simple casual clothes, tall and straight figure, handsome and youthful appearance, and wearing a pair of sunglasses, walked down from the deck leisurely, as if he had just returned from a trip somewhere.
Next to the silver-haired young man, there was an angelic, pretty and lovely blonde girl, who was holding his arms affectionately with her hands.
Natasha took a step forward with a trembling voice and called out, "Master!"
"How are you guys doing these years?"
Looking at Fury and the others who came out to greet him, Kyle, who had just returned from the Galactic Alliance, couldn't help but smile faintly. It felt pretty good to be back home.
Steve walked up quickly, clenched his fist, and punched Kyle's chest lightly, saying with emotion: "Kyle, you're finally back!"
"I can't steal your limelight on Earth for long, can I?"
Kyle teased, tilting his chin back and saying, "It's not just me who's back, but also an old acquaintance."
"Old acquaintance?" Steve looked behind Kyle in surprise and saw a few more people getting off the Hawk fighter.
One of them was wearing glasses, a sexy stubble on his chin, and casual clothes. Who else could it be but Tony Stark? But at this time, Tony was holding a white-haired old man in his hand.
"He is..." Steve shuddered and could no longer speak.
Chapter 463 Reunion after half a century
Looking at Steve who was in a daze, the old man slapped Tony's hand away, walked over happily, and said to himself, "Captain, you and Kyle are still the same, young and handsome, only I am old, so old that even you can't recognize me!"
"How could I not recognize you? How could it be possible!"
Steve looked excited, opened his arms and hugged the old man's thin body, "Mr. Howard, long time no see!"
"Yeah, long time no see. You are still using the battle suit and shield I made for you!" Howard sighed, his eyes looking down at the five-star round shield behind Steve.
Also unchanged over the years and a witness to history is the sound-absorbing round shield with a silver five-star on top.
Howard, Logan, and Lucy have been going back and forth for nearly half a century, which is half a lifetime for an ordinary human being.
Another person got off the Eagle fighter. He was a sturdy, thin man with short hair and a little white bear sitting on his shoulder. He walked to the side behind Kyle and stopped. He nodded to Fury and Natasha and greeted them in a deep voice, "Fury, Natasha, how are you?"
"Logan!"
When Fury saw the wolf-like man with short hair, his eyes lit up. Kyle and Logan standing together reminded him vaguely of the battle scenes during World War II.
"Chief Instructor, you are finally back."
Seeing her old friend coming back, Natasha smiled and was very excited. She still remembered that when she first joined the Karl family, she and Logan served as the family's instructors and trained a group of elite members for the Karl family.
"You still remember the others, but you have completely forgotten me, right?"
The blonde girl who had her arm around Kyle's puffed up her cheeks angrily and wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction. She didn't give Director Fury any face at all and glared at them with her beautiful eyes as clear as gems.
Natasha looked at the blonde girl again. She felt that she looked familiar. Now she heard that familiar and pleasant voice, and she was slightly surprised and said, "You are... my mother, Miss Lucy?!"
"uh-huh."
Lucy hummed noncommittally, showing her girlish attitude.
"It's really Miss Lucy. We haven't seen each other for fifty or sixty years, right?"
Fury's dark and serious face showed a bitter smile. Howard had aged a lot over the years, and even Logan had aged about ten years. Only Lucy, like Kyle, had aged in reverse. Time had not left any traces on her face or body, so he hadn't recognized her directly before.
The last time they all got together was right after World War II, when Kyle left the Earth. It is now 2013, and seventy years seem to have passed in the blink of an eye.
Kyle was filled with emotion. After the turn of the century, many of his loved ones and old friends were still around. This was perhaps the most fortunate thing.
Otherwise, even if the starry sky is invincible, without anyone to share it with and protect it, it will be empty talk full of loneliness and sadness.
"To my home planet, guys!"
Following the Eagle fighter, the interstellar fighter landed on the open space in the square, and its rear tail deck was also opened.
Star-Lord Quill walked in front, accompanied by Yondu, Rocket the Brown Bear, Green Peak the Alien, Mantis, and Drax the Destroyer, and they came to the SHIELD Plaza in a mighty manner. Their appearance and dress were different from ordinary people, which attracted the vigilant scrutiny of many SHIELD agents.
"Uh, so this is a big old people's party?"
Quill stared blankly at Kyle and his group. Most of them were familiar faces he had seen in newspapers when he was a child. He was immediately shocked.
"Kyle, it seems that you not only successfully brought Howard and the others back, but also brought back a group of aliens?"
Fury saw Quill and the others and couldn't help but say to Kyle.
Before Kyle could respond, Quill yelled, "I'm not an alien. I'm a native of Earth."
The Brown Bear Rocket covered his mouth and murmured, "Rather than saying that they are human beings on Earth, it is better to say that 'the ball created people'."
