"You know, I can go with you if you need to."

"Thank you, Sam. But let me do it this time. ”

In the grove outside the temporary base, next to the newly built small quantum channel, Steve carried a black box and held Thor's hammer in his hand, ready to embark on the journey of 'Meituan Takeaway'.

Dior, Wanda, Quicksilver, Hulk, Sam the Falcon, Bucky, Thor, and Natasha are all on the sidelines waiting for Steve to bring the havoc to a successful conclusion.

"Don't be stupid until I come back."

"How could I. You've done all the stupid things. ”

Steve and Bucky looked at each other and smiled, and then Kee hugged each other affectionately, maybe no one else noticed anything, but as the person who knew Steve best, Bucky seemed to have a vague expectation in his heart that this guy was going to do something stupid again.

So at the end of the hug, what he said was, "I'm going to miss you, brother." ”

Steve nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Bucky." ”

Then Steve turned around and walked up to Dio and held out a hand, "We're still friends, aren't we?" ”

"It always has been."

Instead of shaking hands with him, Dio hugged him and patted him on the back, which, despite the disagreement, was a thing of the past.

After the catastrophe ended, many people, including Dior, were ready to retire.

Maybe one day in the future, they will choose to stand up because of the danger on Earth, but now everyone just wants to go back to normal life.

"Have a nice trip, Steve."

Wanda and Steve hugged each other gently.

Then Steve took the thing and stood directly on top of the quantum channel.

"How long will it take?"

Sam, who had only been resurrected for a long time, asked with some concern.

"For him, it's okay for as long as it takes, but for us, it's just five seconds of waiting."

Hulk confidently said that the original version of the time machine required a full minute of synchronization time to teleport people back, but now it only takes five seconds.

War is the best source of development of science and technology, and this sentence is indeed true!

"Are you ready, Captain?"

Seeing that Steve nodded, Hulk operated directly on the instrument, "The quantum realm is on, countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" ”

With a whoosh, Steve's figure vanished.

"And then get ready to come back, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...huh?"

Hulk flipped the switch, but there was no figure of Steve on the Quantum Channel.

Hulk looked confused and began to check the device, while Sam asked eagerly, "What about the others?" ”

"I don't know, the timestamps are already synced, he should be back."

"Bring him back!"

"I know, I'm trying."

"Bring him back!"

"Don't worry, Sam!"

At this point, only Bucky's face showed a 'I knew it was going to be like this' smirk.

At the same time, Dior, who felt something, suddenly looked at the bench by the lake.

He was pretty sure that before that, there was absolutely no one there!

But now there's a sudden one more person out of thin air, is it accidentally not noticed, or...

Dio's eyes flickered, and he always felt that this old back was very much like a person.

Don't!?

"Over there."

With Dior's gesture, everyone's eyes shifted to the bench not far away.

Then Sam and Bucky walked over slowly, Dio didn't move, and the others didn't move, because if this was really Steve's choice, then all they could do was bless.

So let's leave the current space to them first.

I don't know what came to mind, Bucky's footsteps suddenly stopped, and then said to Sam with a smile, "Go ahead, he's waiting for you." ”

Sam was stunned for a moment, but walked over to the old man and tentatively shouted, "Captain? ”

"Hi Sam, long time no see."

The old man, who was sitting on the bench and looking at the lake calmly, slowly turned his head and said hello.

Although the rings of the years have left the mark of wind and frost carving on him, the face, the way he speaks, and the breath on his body are undoubtedly the American team himself!

"So something went wrong, or was it meant to be?"

Somehow, Sam burst out laughing, too, because he also felt Steve's mood and the choices he had made.

"After I got the Infinity Stones back, I thought maybe I should try the kind of life that Tony had advised me to live." The gray-haired Steve spoke slowly with a happy reminiscence smile.

"So how did it turn out?"

"It's wonderful."

An empathetic Sam nodded, "I'm so happy for you, sincerely." ”

"But the only thing that makes me sad is that I don't have Captain America in my world anymore."

"Oh, you reminded me." Steve took the item that was placed next to him and gave it to Sam.

That's the classic vibranium shield that Tony's father built for him!

This thing had already been smashed in the battle with Thanos, but Steve, now in his twilight years, brought a new, identical, American shield to his inheritor!

"Put it on and try it."

Sam didn't pick it up, but looked at his idol with mixed feelings, and then turned his head to look at Bucky, who was not far away, and in his opinion, this shield should not be left for him, and Bucky was more suitable to inherit the will of the American team than him.

But Bucky himself knows that he is not worthy of this shield, let alone the title and will of the American team.

With so much innocent blood on his hands alone, he would never be the next Captain America.

Maybe others will agree with him in Steve's face and not embarrass him, and even Tony no longer wants to kill him and avenge his parents.

But Bucky didn't have the face to accept it himself.

It was precisely because Steve knew what Bucky was thinking that he did not choose to give him this burden, this responsibility, but chose his admirers.

At least in Steve's opinion, Sam definitely won't let him down.

"How does it feel?"

"It feels like someone else's stuff."

"It's not someone else's, it's yours."

Sam, who was wearing the shield of the American team, took a deep breath, suppressed the complexity in his heart, and looked at Steve solemnly, "Thank you, I will definitely do my best to use it well." ”

The two hands were clasped together again, only this time Steve was wearing a beautiful ring on his ring finger.

"So you'd like to talk to me about her?"

Steve smiled lightly and looked back at the lake, "No, no. ”

Because it would be the best memory of his life, with Peggy Carter's perfect life.
