The dripping rain gradually became lighter, and when blown by the wind, it fluttered back and forth like cow hair, falling on people's bodies, bringing a touch of coldness.
Howard's farewell ceremony has ended, and the old man has been buried in the cemetery.
Mike watched from a distance until everyone was almost gone, then he held an umbrella and slowly walked towards the other party's tombstone.
Apparently, there was more than one person who had the same idea as him.
Mike nodded to Peggy Carter, and the two stood in front of the tombstone. Tony stood not far behind them and watched silently. Maria had been sent back by Tony because she was too sad.
Peggy Carter looked at Howard's tombstone. This weather-beaten British rose couldn't hold back after all, her eyes turned red and she shed tears.
This was her last old friend.
This is her comrade who fought with Hydra, created S.H.I.E.L.D., and fought together for decades, a close friend.
She gently wiped away her tears, smiled at Mike, and said: "To this day, I still feel that this is a joke made by the other party. They will jump out from below and laugh at me for crying."
Mike thought for a moment, and with Howard's personality, this kind of thing could really be done.
Peggy Carter twitched her lips, looked at Mike and said, "Actually, Howard and I are very envious of your life."
"You are too tired from living."
Peggy Carter nodded, sighed, and said, "Maybe, but this is our choice. We always feel that we can do something for the world."
Mike looked at each other and said, "I admire you very much."
Perhaps, most superheroes have this kind of mentality, a sense of responsibility that everyone has, but many people don't realize, or they give up on, but it is magnified in superheroes.
"I'm retiring."
Peggy Carter spoke suddenly.
Mike nodded.
"But I will let people watch Tony and Maria. I will not leave SHIELD until I am sure that their lives are not disturbed."
Hearing this, Mike raised his eyebrows and said, "If they encounter trouble, they can come to me."
Anyway, he and the old man were friends.
Peggy Carter smiled and said, "With your words, he will feel relieved."
"By the way." Peggy Carter changed the subject and said, "What do you think of Nick Fury?"
"Huh?" Mike was stunned for a moment and said with a strange expression: "Don't ask me this kind of question, I'm not familiar with him."
"I see."
"?"
What do you unserstand
Mike's mouth twitched, but he still didn't forget the purpose of coming today.
Placing a flower in the pile of flowers in front of the tombstone, Mike stood up and said to Peggy Carter: "Goodbye."
Peggy Carter nodded and still stood quietly in front of the tombstone.
She wanted to spend more time with her old friend.
Mike walked towards his car, but was stopped by Tony in front of the car.
Mike looked at Tony who couldn't hide his fatigue in confusion and said, "What's wrong?"
Tony looked at Mike and opened his mouth, but he couldn't pronounce the name 'uncle'. He took out a document bag and said, "The old man left you a gift that should have been given to you a long time ago."
Mike glanced at it and said, "I will accept your thoughts, but I won't accept your things."
He already guessed what was inside.
Tony handed the document bag forward again and said, "This is what he promised before he died. If he can't handle it, he will come back to me."
Mike's eyes twitched.
This way of persuading people is really unique.
He glanced at it, reached out to take it, nodded to Tony, and said, "Take care of Maria."
"I know."
Tony nodded.
Mike opened the car door, got in the car, pulled down the window, and shouted to Tony. When he turned to look at him, he said, "Howard told me that you are his pride."
Tony felt his heart shrinking, took a deep breath, and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Thank you."
Mike closed the car window, looked at Tony who was leaving quickly, and sighed softly: "An era is coming to an end."
The next era will be the era of superheroes.
Superhero
Thinking of the three in his own family, Mike's eyes were filled with anticipation.
I really don’t know what role these three boys will play in the future.
"hehe!"
Thinking of what happened next, Mike couldn't help laughing.
Probably, it will be interesting.
He looked down at the document bag in his hand, groaned, and opened it.
As he expected, there was a check with an exaggerated amount and a letter inside.
Putting the check into the document bag, Mike shook his head with a smile and opened Howard's letter to himself.
After glancing at it, Mike couldn't help but smile and put it back in the envelope.
Oh, although he didn't work hard to make money, he became a rich man.
…
Time always slips away inadvertently, leaving only memories and some unique tastes.
Mike's house.
Bah!
The moment the meat slices and oil come into contact, a rich aroma emerges.
Mike stir-fried the meat slices and said to Clark, who was helping to wash the vegetables: "Clark, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Clark, who was already eighteen years old, said without hesitation: "No!"
Mike raised his eyebrows and said, "Really not?"
Clark was silent, put the dishes aside, picked up the freshly washed apples and stuffed them into his mouth. He walked out with a plate of apples and said vaguely: "I don't understand, dad, what are you talking about?"
Mike chuckled and said, "I remember your school is going to hold a graduation dance. Have you found a dance partner?"
silence…
There was no answer for a long time.
Mike turned to look, and Clark had disappeared into the kitchen.
"This kid."
Mike broke into laughter.
Clark is already eighteen years old, and he is still an innocent boy.
Yes, I have never been in love.
Such a situation is simply unbelievable in a country like this.
As for Hope…
Although Clark has always been in close contact with him, he has no intention of developing into a boyfriend and girlfriend. Instead, he is like... best friends.
Perhaps, Clark has always behaved too low-key in school, otherwise Clark would never be single given his appearance and condition.
Didn’t you realize that Charles, that bastard, has to change several times a year, and even Eric has talked about it twice.
etc…
Mike suddenly remembered a very crucial thing.
Could Clark be worried about...that thing
Mike poured the food on the plate and pinched his chin, feeling that he should talk to Clark.
Carrying the fried dishes towards the restaurant, the four father and son were eating dinner while talking about some interesting things. As they were talking, Mike led the topic to Clark's graduation prom.
Clark frowned and said, "I won't go to any graduation dance."
"This is not okay!"
Before Mike could say anything, Charles shouted: "You have to attend the high school prom. This is very important."
Eric nodded and said: "This is the last time you can play like a child before you become an adult. It is the end and starting point for the next stage of your life. You should go!"
