"Whoosh"

Later in the evening, a small airliner slipped out of the clouds and landed on the busy airport in Raccoon City.

The airliner's hull was painted with Stark's name.

It was the famous playboy's private jet, but after the cabin door opened, it wasn't just Tony who walked down the gangway. Stark alone.

There is also a man in a denim outfit with blonde hair.

Legendary hero, Captain America, Steve. Rogers.

He had just finished attending a high-level government meeting in New York.

At that meeting, he told everything he knew about Hydra and Pierce.

But like the other meetings that have been held frequently in the past few days.

There was nothing substantive to come out of that meeting.

This annoyed Steve.

So after the meeting, he made a decision.

A very unexpected decision.

"So, you're not a public official now?"

Stark, who was wearing brown sunglasses, walked out of the cabin accompanied by his bodyguard Harpy, and asked Steve, who was calm next to him:

"I heard that the Department of Defense invited you to join, and the president of the White House, I also hope that you can perform your duties in the White House, Steve, you old guy, you are a popular fried chicken now."

"I've pushed it off."

With a shield on his back and a wooden box on his back, Steve glanced at the city in the distance and the light falling from the sky.

He said:

"I don't want to deal with them anymore."

"Right?"

Tony chuckled playfully, and said:

"Those bastards won't do anything but turn good things into bad things and bad things into disasters."

"Well, look, the beautiful women are waiting for us."

Steve followed Tony's gaze and saw a military vehicle parked beyond the ramp of the plane.

Natasha, a black widow in a black combat uniform and sunglasses, is leaning against the military vehicle with her arms crossed.

"Everyone was surprised when they received your message, Steve."

Natasha saw the two approaching, she straightened up and said to Steve:

“S.. L.D. is now a wrecked ship that is about to sink, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to jump up, are you dizzy? ”

"I'm sober, Cortana."

The captain opened the car door and sat in the car with Tony, and when the military vehicle started, the captain leaned back in his chair and said to Natasha, who was driving:

"It took me a lot of time to make this decision, and I don't think I will regret it too much."

"Don't call me Cortana."

Natasha said dissatisfiedly:

"Don't learn from Merlin..."

At the mention of Merlin's name, the atmosphere in the car became a little more frozen.

After a few seconds of silence, Natasha asked softly:

"Has it been confirmed?"

"Hmm."

Steve glanced at the wooden box at hand and said:

"Confirmed, Carol. Lady Danvers has brought back Merlin's relics from the stars, and he has been confirmed dead. ”

"When I left New York, those people were talking about giving Merlin a decent funeral, but I heard that Merlin's sister refused."

"Merlin's relatives want him to go quieter, but maybe it's more because of the distrust of the higher-ups, after all, Pierce's business..."

"No one could have expected this."

Tony took his sunglasses off his face, and there were bruises on his cheeks that hadn't gone away.

The playboy looked out the window at the crowded gathering spots.

He said:

"Even Merlin himself didn't expect Pierce to be behind everything..."

"The truth of this matter will probably not be made public, and the World Security Council still needs to maintain its credibility, and I heard that they will bury Pierce as a hero..."

"Heroes?"

Natasha sneered, and she said:

"Is this title so worthless now?"

"That's the decision of the politicians, and it has nothing to do with us."

Steve didn't seem to want to continue on the topic, saying to Natasha, who was driving:

"Before I came, there were some heroes from the New York Heroes Association who said that if S. L.D. will come here to help if they need it until it's over. ”

"Huh?"

Natasha frowned and said:

"Do they think Raccoon City is a good place to be?"

"Hell, everyone in this hell wants to leave, but the people out there want to come in... It's crazy. ”

"Probably Merlin."

Tony analyzed:

"Heroic deeds always inspire a lot of followers, especially when they know that Merlin will bring S. . After the story of L.D.'s dispatch here, many people were moved by his righteous deeds. ”

"Okay."

Natasha shook her head:

"Even after he died, did he still affect the world?"

"Stop the car, Cortana."

Steve said suddenly, Natasha hit the brakes, and Steve opened the car door.

He picked up the wooden box in his hand and walked over to Hawkeye Patton, who was sitting in a chair by the barracks.

Barton was sorting out his arrows, and he was doing it very carefully.

Although before, Barton told Merlin that he was retiring to spend his life with his mysterious family.

But after the events of Raccoon City broke out, Barton didn't leave, staying here with the rest of the agents.

It seems that he has no intention of leaving in a short period of time.

"Clint."

Steve stepped forward, placed the wooden box in his hand on the table in front of Hawkeye's eyes, and said:

"Someone asked me to pass this on to you."

"Huh?"

Patton looked up, he looked at the captain, and he said in a sarcastic tone:

"Who? Do I still have friends in New York? Isn't there only a bunch of enemies left who want to kill us? ”

"It's Merlin."

Steve breathed a sigh of relief, and he replied:

"Merlin's butler said that Merlin was always telling him that he had ruined a good knife for you, so the lady asked me to bring this thing to you."

"It's a matter of Merlin's heart."

"Really?"

Barton's expression changed for a moment, and he silently reached out and opened the wooden box.

Inside was a dark golden sword.

It was Merlin's sword made of vibranium, and the last thing he had kept intact of all the weapons he had with him.

"It's a bit heavy."

Barton picked up the sword, waved it, and he stood up and walked into his tent.

A moment later, he stepped out with the sword on his back, a simple black scabbard fixed behind him.

"Pretty handsome, right?"

Patton shook his body a little, and he said to the others:

"Merlin has always had such a good taste in weapons."

He looked at Steve and he said:

"So you're coming to join us?"

"Yes."

Steve nodded, and he said with a smile:

"The Avengers have disbanded... I've got to get myself a job, right? ”

"We don't pay wages here, everyone brings their own dry food."

Hawkeye smiled and held out his hand to the captain, he blinked and said:

"And the food here is terrible, really bad."

"I've been in World War II, Clint."

The captain shook Patton's hand and said:

"If Spam can't beat my stomach, neither will the food."

"Okay."

Hawkeye looked at Steve in front of him, and he said seriously:

"So, welcome to S.. L.D., Captain. ”

A few minutes later, Steve arrived on the bridge of the Aegis Command Ship, where Hill and Coulson were waiting for him.

"Welcome over, Captain, we're honored."

Phil, who has admired Captain America since childhood. Coulson reached out and shook Steve's hand.

He said to Steve:

"We've got a rest compartment for you."

"I want to transfer command of the Raccoon City Defense Base to you, Captain."

Hill also said to Steve:

"We need an experienced commander to lead us, there's a lot to coordinate here, and frankly, I'm a little incompetent, and I need someone more experienced to do that."

"Don't be presumptuous, you're doing a good job, Agent Hill."

Steve shook his head, and he said to Hill seriously:

"I'm not here to steal your command, I'm here to fight. I'd rather be on the front lines than in the command room, and I've heard you're in great need of combatants. ”

Hill and Coulson looked at each other, she brushed her hair, and said to the captain:

"Okay, then."

"It just so happens that the Overwatch Squad also needs a commander to lead them, and I'm sure they won't refuse leadership from a legendary hero."

"Hmm."

The captain nodded, and he said:

"I'm always available to work, and besides, about Merlin... I'm sorry. ”

"Nothing."

Hill tilted her head and said:

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

"Agent Coulson, you take the captain to his cabin, there's a search deep into the city of Raccoon City this afternoon, and the captain will be with you."

"Okay."

Coulson gave Steve a look and led him off the bridge.

At the moment when the cabin was closed, Coulson said to the captain who was carrying the luggage:

"Don't mention it in front of Ciel, she's calm, but... I saw her crying alone in the break room last night, so let's stop irritating her. ”

"Hmm."

The captain nodded with a heavy expression, he glanced at Coulson beside him, took out a black ring from his pocket, and handed it to him.

"I didn't expect you to be Merlin's brother, but I'll bring this to you, Ericto."

Steve said to Coulson:

"Although few people know about this now, Merlin's other siblings say that they are willing to accept you back home... Everyone in the Riley family has this ring, and this is the one that belongs to you. ”

Coulson took the black ring that Steve handed him, and he looked at it rather silently.

After a few seconds, Coulson shook his head, and he said in a complicated tone:

"I really can't imagine these things... I still can't remember the time I spent with him when I was a kid, and I didn't even dare tell my parents the news. ”

"I'm a little too much to deal with myself..."

"Phil."

Steve patted Coulson on the shoulder, and he whispered:

"It's an honor to take it."

"Your brother has saved countless people with his own sacrifice, and he will inspire you and inspire us to continue our mission."

"That's what heroes are all about, and they're going to tell us what we need to do in these trying times."

"Merlin won the world back for us..."

"Although I don't know what kind of freedom he brings to the world."

The captain pursed his lips and said:

"We have a responsibility to make it better, just as Merlin once believed..."

"He's fallen, we're going to take the flag he left behind, go over his corpse, and move on... He'll want us to do that. ”

"Hmm."

Coulson nodded, he pointed to the cabin in front of him, and he said:

"This is where you live, Captain, I'll go and get busy first, and I'll be waiting for you at the meeting point 3 in the afternoon."

"Go ahead."

The captain waved to Coulson, then took his salute and walked into his cabin.

But just as the hatch opened, the captain's footsteps stopped.

In the cabin in front of him, Sharon was helping him pack his things, as if trying to make the little place a little more welcoming.

"Sharon..."

The captain's expression changed.

He looked at the figure in front of him, which was very similar to Ms. Carter's, and the younger face, and he was a little at a loss, not knowing how to face her.

Witnessing and experiencing disasters always makes people cherish the people around them more.

"Steve."

Sharon didn't care, she was used to the captain's tangle when facing her.

She could understand that, after all, the relationship between Steve and her aunt was too complicated.

It's not going to be that easy to get Steve to accept the feelings that come from her.

She stepped forward, brushed her hair, and helped Steve pick up the salute.

She turned around and said:

"It's dangerous here in Raccoon City, I'll prepare you with a mask with purification magic, and a set of experiences..."

"Huh"

Steve stepped forward and hugged her from behind.

Let all of Sharon's words stop at her lips.

"Maybe Merlin is right."

Steve whispered in Sharon's ear:

"Maybe I should really let go of the past and look forward, would you like to walk with me for the rest of your life? Sharon..."

"Okay."

Sharon's expression was also a little complicated, she sighed, and she said:

"But you have to answer me first, do you accept me, or do you use me as a substitute for your aunt?"

Before Steve could answer, Sharon, whose expression was a little flustered, said:

"Forget it, you don't need to answer this question... Actually, I shouldn't have asked. ”

"It's you."

Steve grabbed Sharon's body, he looked at the cat-like eyes, and he said seriously, in a tone full of meaning:

"My story with Carter, the past is over, and my future should be spent with the right people."

"This is a terrible love story..."

Sharon's eyes blinked, her lips close to Steve's.

She whispered:

"Did you learn from Chief Merlin?"

——————————

"Tfrey, I've failed."

In an office in Washington, D.C., Amanda Brown. Waller said to his superiors:

“S.. L.D. won't join us, and their current commander told me that after the events of Raccoon City are over, S.D. L.D. will dissolve immediately. ”

"Okay."

The man in the old flight jacket sitting in the office chair sighed and said:

"Something to be expected."

"The void left by S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to be filled, and the World Security Council needs an organization that handles international occult affairs for them."

"The eye of the sky will be their best choice, and the president also has this plan."

"Since S. . . L.D. has made the decision to die with S.H.I.E.L.D., and it is time to set about establishing a new occult administration that belongs to the Celestial Eye Society. ”

Trevey looked up at Waller, and he said:

"Waller..."

"You're ready to be the next Merlin. Riley? ”
