Turn the clock back one day.
In SHIELD's underground training room, Rogers strode in carrying the shield.
Wearing a star-striped uniform and having two exaggerated chest muscles, he instantly became the focus of the audience.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and mutants from Task Force X in the rest area all looked at the famous Captain America.
Although it is said that because of the emergence of Superman, Captain America in this timeline has lost its original glory.
It even made him suspect that his super soldier might be a water-injected version, otherwise how could there be such a shocking gap between him and Luke.
You know, even if Rogers is strengthened to a "battleship level" later, able to send waves with both eyes to destroy the aircraft carrier, and withstand the main gun with his body, he is still no match for Luke.
He had already practiced this personally during many warm-up exercises and free sparring sessions.
Every time I feel sore all over, exhausted, and look like my body has been hollowed out.
So much so that Rogers' girlfriend Margery even wondered if her boyfriend had someone outside.
On the other hand, Luke, after the battle, was still very energetic, without any signs of fatigue, and could still say the classic line - "I can fight you all day long"!
This shows that the combat effectiveness and durability of the two are not on the same level at all.
"That's Captain America! Have you ever bought his comic?"
The young agents in the rest area were whispering to each other.
"Of course! I bought a whole set last time as a gift for my nephew. He liked it very much!"
Someone said this.
Although Captain America's honor in the military is not as prestigious as that of later generations because he is still alive.
However, his peripheral sales are much higher than those of Superman.
Through comics and toys, he has gained a large number of fans like Coulson.
Relevant cartoons, stars and stripes uniforms and shield toys have already flowed into every household in New York when bonds were being promoted.
After the war, various manufacturers actively expanded their markets and spread to dozens of states and cities.
So much so that Luke even made a special trip to find Senator Brandt to help Rogers get back the rights to use Captain America's image and peripheral development - without any awareness of this, he signed a contract that was almost a contract to sell himself. , there is no profit at all.
If not, how could Rogers have the money to renovate his old house in Brooklyn and live a comfortable life.
He is now sitting at home, doing nothing, and still getting generous copyright remuneration.
Publishers, comic companies, and Hollywood film companies all came to contact Rogers and wanted to sign Captain America.
After all, the other party's appearance is quite good, plus he has the aura of being a war hero and a colonel. If he can become his agent, it will be like finding a cash cow.
Make a few action movies such as "War on the Third Reich" and "Kill the German Devils", and publish a few best-selling books such as "My World War II Past" and "The Story Behind Captain America". Basically, this life No need to worry about livelihood.
Unfortunately, all the above suggestions were rejected by Captain America.
Because at that time, he just wanted to live a peaceful life.
I don’t have much interest in debuting and becoming an idol.
"Get out of the way! Guys in costume!"
Hearing the whispered chatter, Rogers couldn't help but quicken his pace. He didn't like being the center of attention.
However, when he walked to the training room, a tall figure bumped into him.
The other person had a cigar in his mouth, his beard was like a steel needle, and he exuded a wild nature.
Rogers, a good-natured man, stopped and stepped out of the way.
"Hey, Captain America."
Wolverine Logan takes off his cigar and blows out a puff of smoke.
He seemed to feel a little disdainful when he heard the discussions among the young agents.
"I've seen your videos and those funny performances. A guy like you can become a hero by putting on a costume?"
For Captain America, Wolverine Logan’s understanding is still in the period of promoting bonds.
"What about you, with a pair of claws, you think of yourself as a beast?"
Rogers retorted not to be outdone.
Faced with Wolverine's provocation, Captain America didn't have a good attitude.
He's a good guy, but not a wimp.
When faced with the bastard who is looking for trouble, I always go up to him.
"Heh, I'm not in a good mood today."
Logan narrowed his eyes, flashing a fierce light.
At this time, Wolverine had not yet experienced the tragic death of his wife or the loss of his claws.
I have never received psychological counseling from a bald professor to let go of the wild and violent side of my heart.
In essence, he is the same grumpy old man as Victor, the saber-toothed tiger.
To put it more simply, he asks someone "What are you looking at?" and the other person replies "What are you looking at?" and then the two parties can happily fight.
"Sorry, I'm in a good mood today."
After joining S.H.I.E.L.D., Rogers learned a lot of tricks from Howard.
"That's a shame, your good mood ends here. I love nothing more than teaching a self-righteous bastard like you a lesson!"
Sure enough, Logan was like a powder keg ready to explode.
He raised his hand and flicked the cigar away, causing a few sparks to fly.
Then he clenched his fists and showed his bone claws.
Captain America naturally didn't show any weakness. He raised the shield in his hand and knocked away the thick cigar coming towards him.
Suddenly, tensions were high and the atmosphere was heavy.
At this time, if someone stood up and said, "Don't fight anymore," Rogers might just turn away and leave.
Wolverine Logan, considering the rules set by the Director of SHIELD, will also choose to settle the matter.
It's a pity that the young agents around him didn't stop him, but instead acted like they were taking advantage of him.
This is the battle between Captain America and Wolverine!
Who doesn't want to see it
If we charge admission, the venue will definitely be full, and half of New York City will come here!
…
…
Back to the present.
Luke took the elevator to SHIELD's underground training room.
Captain America, wearing an elastic vest and sweating heavily, is releasing his energy on a huge sandbag.
He still had injuries on his face, a clear bruise around his left eye, and a hemostatic bandage on his abdomen.
"This little guy from Brooklyn actually learned how to fight with others. This is really new."
Luke said teasingly, the fight that shook SHIELD yesterday ended in both sides being injured.
Captain America was almost disemboweled by Wolverine with his bone claws, and the latter also had his right arm evaporated by a high-temperature light wave. It is estimated that it will take two or three days to recover as before.
Fortunately, Carter intervened to calm things down, otherwise the Howling Commandos, as well as Howard, would probably have collided with the saber-toothed tiger seeking revenge.
The huge SHIELD has begun to form factions.
"That's a beast, Luke. Only someone like you can tame them."
Rogers touched the dark circles under his eyes, stopped what he was doing, and said, "But I have to admit that sometimes fighting is a way to vent your emotions."
"Venting? Have you felt unhappy recently?"
Luke showed surprise in his eyes and said softly: "This time, you successfully rescued Boston and prevented the Atlantean legion from landing. Mr. President is prepared to commend you personally."
"You can get a greater honor than before. Doesn't this make you feel satisfied?"
Rogers shook his head, with a hint of gloom in his determined eyes.
"I just occasionally wonder...where did Bucky go? To receive honors, there must be someone who can share it. Bucky is our friend, and he will definitely be very happy if he can see all this."
Captain America said this.
Luke suddenly realized and smiled strangely.
Rogers is truly a gay friend, and he is always thinking about Bucky, who has been missing for a long time.
"That's exactly what I wanted to tell you."
Luke patted the other party's shoulder and said softly: "According to SHIELD's multiple investigations, it has been determined that Bucky was taken away by one of the leaders of Hydra, Baron Strucker."
"And they are hiding on the other side of the world camp, that is, the red empire in Siberia."
Rogers, who was a little depressed at first, immediately became energetic as if injected with stimulants.
He looked at Luke, his eyes lit up with excitement, and said in a deep voice, "Have you discovered Bucky's whereabouts?"
"Not yet."
Luke shook his head ruthlessly, breaking Rogers' fantasy.
Then, he changed the topic and said: "But I am going to send agents to investigate the secret collusion between Hydra and Leviathan, and also search for Bucky's traces. If you are interested..."
"Very good. I'll call Margaery later and tell her that I'm going on a long trip soon."
Rogers nodded in agreement without thinking.
Luke was stunned for a moment, and the strange expression on his face became deeper.
He reminded me kindly: "Promise me, Steve, you will try not to mention Bucky's name in front of Margaery as much as possible."
I wonder if Captain America’s girlfriend will feel a sense of crisis when she hears that her boyfriend has traveled thousands of miles to find his old good friend? (End of chapter)
