Become stronger
Rogers was stunned for a moment and fell into silence.
As a super soldier, he is physically strong and has incredible endurance.
Put on the battlefield, it is a high-end combat power that can defeat one against a hundred, raid the enemy's lair, and perform beheading missions.
After long-term training in the future, it will be easy to hold a helicopter with bare hands and resist the Infinity Gauntlet.
In the future, you can collect Mjolnir and Vibranium Shield to form a golden legendary suit, and you can even have a 50-50 fight with Thanos.
Such an extremely powerful super soldier was a dominant player during World War II.
How else to become stronger
only-
Reality is always cruel, but both friendly and enemy forces have Superman, making Rogers a complete foil.
He was supposed to be the strongest and bravest super soldier in people's eyes, without even having to think about getting stronger.
Where the Allies have Luke and the Axis have the Aryan Superman.
Destined to shine and become an icon for the United States, Captain America only accomplished the latter.
He was not taken seriously by the military, and he had no chance to show himself. He was just like a performer on the stage who acted as a backdrop for a star.
Dispensable, not important.
As both super soldiers, Rogers couldn't remember how many times he asked himself, why are you so different from Luke
He can smash a tank, break into the Hydra base camp, and is not even afraid of incredibly powerful energy weapons, while you can only throw a shield - such doubts have never gone away!
Gradually, this became a problem that Rogers couldn't get around.
Later, whenever he thought about others putting him and Luke together, the high-spirited and energetic Captain America would become very autistic.
"Am I too bad?"
Rogers kept asking himself in his heart.
He was originally a positive and persistent person who would never give up.
But the obvious gap before the public, as well as the public criticism that came to his ears from time to time, still made Rogers feel heavy pressure.
He often thinks alone late at night, is it as everyone said, Dr. Erskine is more optimistic about Luke, and he is just a bonus
Or could it be that what Luke was injected with was actually an enhanced version of the second-generation serum, and he was a first-generation product that was less effective than the former
That’s why you can’t become a more powerful super soldier like your friends!
All kinds of speculations and thoughts tortured the immature Captain America, making it difficult for him to sleep.
Until now!
Luke asked himself, do you want to become stronger
"think!"
Rogers nodded heavily, and the intense emotions in his heart were condensed into a "yes".
Even when he was bullied in Brooklyn, he never had the desire to become stronger like he does at this moment!
"You can only become stronger by spending money, Rogers, you haven't realized this yet."
Luke thought that the cost of cultivating the 'Blood of Woden' was not low, and could even be said to be quite expensive.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Berlin has not successfully mass-produced Aryan Superman.
Apart from technical constraints, the success rate is low and there are also cost issues.
"Then you could be a candidate for the 'Allied Superman' program."
Luke gathered his thoughts, coughed, and said seriously: "But I have to remind you, Rogers, this is not a serum injection that can be survived by relying on a strong will and a firm mind."
"Accepting human body modification with the blood of Woden is a very dangerous process."
"Its success rate is extremely low and it must survive multiple mutations. Three mutations are 'tank level', and twenty-four mutations are 'battleship level'."
"And Ms. Stephanie also said that the transformation plan of the 'Blood of Woden' may cause great damage to the human body and shorten the life cycle - you must think about it carefully!"
Luke solemnly reminds that Superman is not that easy to become.
He didn't know where he would take Captain America's fate.
No matter what, Rogers, who has not been frozen for seventy years, has gained a new life.
The next step is to be mentally prepared to face the unknown.
"I've already thought about it!"
Rogers has a fearless and determined expression on his face, which is how he always looks.
Once you set a goal, you will never look back and move forward.
"Okay then, let's discuss the next question."
Luke nodded and said nothing more.
…
…
This secret meeting of the Strategic Science Corps lasted for two hours.
It should have ended fifty minutes ago, but Colonel Phillips said that he wanted to say a few words next.
Then, the topic continued to expand and the content continued to increase.
It wasn't until Luke gently reminded him that it was getting late that the colonel stopped talking, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
"Steve, you stay."
When everyone walked out of the office room, Luke stopped Rogers, who looked excited.
"I want to have a good talk with you. Well, let's start with the blonde girl at the ball. Her name is... Margaery, right? How are you two? Have you been in contact recently?"
Luke leaned back in his chair and asked in a relaxed tone.
"Yes. Everyone thought the war was about to end. She is a Scottish girl, so she returned to Edinburgh early... We sometimes write letters to each other."
Rogers pulled out his chair and sat down. He scratched his head and said a little unspeakably: "But you know, Luke. I'm not very good at chatting, and I can't write any funny jokes, so I'm very distressed."
Captain America, who is in love for the first time, is no different from ordinary people.
No, to be more precise, he might be a little worse than a lot of people.
After all, Luke really couldn't imagine Rogers, who had always been serious, speaking with affection and disgusting words.
"There's no need to show off your humor. You're not Howard. You can just talk about the little things that happen in your life. Just let that lucky girl feel that you care."
Luke smiled, and then said seriously: "Steve, we are friends."
"So, I don't want my existence to cause you... pressure. I know that there are speculations and rumors circulating in the army about super soldiers, about me and you. They said some unpleasant things."
"But I told you a long time ago that Dr. Erskine thinks more of you than you are just a gift as others say."
"Steve, there are qualities in you that I don't have and don't possess."
"Frankly speaking, I am not a good person in the true sense. Everything I do has my own considerations, whether it is profit factors or personal interests - I never show meaningless mercy to my enemies. Nor show any sympathy for the weak."
"Therefore, I lack the elements to be a hero, and I have no interest in doing this. In comparison, I am actually more similar to Howard. We are both keen on leading others, standing higher, and being the one who gives orders. decision maker.”
Luke stared deeply at Rogers. He did not hide his true nature, just like he did not hide his abilities in the Lehigh training camp.
If we say, this world is destined to be an era of superheroes in the future.
Then he is more inclined to be a protector, controller, and containment.
Instead of putting on that armor and red cloak, busy every day returning the kitten in the tree to its owner, rescuing the crashed plane, the ship in distress...
All in all, Luke has no intention of becoming a superhero.
He also didn't want to see Captain America take the risk to join the "Allied Superman" plan because he wanted to catch up in his footsteps.
After hearing all this, Rogers stopped smiling and became silent.
After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "I must admit that you have caused a lot of pressure on me, Luke."
"Although we are friends, I still envy you sometimes. What I long for is not the honors you get, nor the admiring looks from others, but that you can always be the first to be the first when others need it. The ability to rush forward with time.”
"When I was in Brooklyn, Bucky was often surrounded by gangsters. I couldn't help him, and I became a drag. It's different now that I've met you. You always have a way to deal with all kinds of troubles, street gangsters. , bootlegger, gangster, over time, Bucky and I have become accustomed to looking for you whenever we have problems."
"I did have the idea of chasing you, Luke. But then the idea quickly disappeared, because no matter how good or powerful you are, you will always be my friend. Who would be jealous of a friend's achievements."
A smile appeared on Rogers' lips, he looked at Luke, who had a calm face, and said sincerely: "I long to become stronger, I just want to have the power to help. At least I can stand up when you need me. , you don’t have to fight alone.”
There was a brief silence in the office, and after a moment, a burst of hearty laughter could be heard. (End of chapter)
