Chapter 40: The Legend Returns
George's speech and Katie's inaugural declaration were a good start to the mayoral election, with a police chief of George's reputation and the sponsor of the election event, Genesis Corporation, as a guarantee. In the first vote, George was ahead of the other two rivals. As a guarantee for himself, Team X, led by Katie, officially took office and began to devote itself to maintaining law and order in New York.
"Give me any means to discredit this X-Team!" Jameson of the Daily Bugle roared there like a mad bull.
"What about Spider-Man's follow-up report?" The little guy asked.
"Idiot! Don't you know how to mix Spider-Man with this squad and report it! Jameson's roar is back!
Another competitor was in a building bowing his head to a tall white fat man, "Boss, it was my negligence, I didn't expect the creation company to support him behind his back." ”
"Send out all the gangs under your command, it's time for these superheroes to know who is in charge of New York." The white fat man rubbed the cane in his hand and said lightly.
The candidate nodded yes in a cold sweat on his forehead and left in a hurry.
For a while, with the end of George's speech, many demons and monsters came out to make trouble, and the gangsters who were suppressed by Lie and the rest of the superheroes began to come out again to make waves, all of them were those big gangs, outlaws with heavy firepower support.
Trying to make George's assurances a joke, Lie was not idle. First of all, George was provided with a strong enough team of lawyers to solve the worries of this group of lawyers about their families, so that they had enough confidence to sue the criminals they caught.
On the other hand, he attacked again as the Scarlet Grim Reaper, and because of the improvement of law and order in New York, Lie rarely patrolled over New York City. This time, he was given such a good opportunity to take his little fan brother Spider-Man to cooperate with the New York Police Department and Katie's X-Team to bring all those troublemakers to justice, and all the guys became George and Katie's merit guarantee.
also broke all Jameson's smears about Spider-Man and Team X with facts, and then let his public relations team and his lawyer team sue Clarion Daily, dragging Jameson's entire Clarion Daily into the abyss of lawsuits. When it comes to comparing money and strength, he is not afraid, if he wants to play tricks, he will too, who is afraid of whom.
Compared to another congressman led by the underworld forces, Jameson has nothing to do except the sign of the Clarion Daily, plus he made such a stupid move. He can basically say goodbye to the mayoral election, with a flood of bad reviews, scandals, and no practical work, and even his own company has become stinky.
"Mr. Lie, are you too ruthless?" Peter the Spider looked at Jameson, who was surrounded by other reporters at the bottom of the Clarion Daily building, and said to Lie.
"Peter, the most abominable thing in the world is not the criminals who commit the most heinous crimes, but these hypocrites who carry out moral kidnapping and creation out of nothing in the name of justice. The former can be solved with only fists and prison, and the latter can ruin a person's life at any time, and sometimes you have to do more than he can deal with this kind of person, so that he will always regret it because he thought that he had done it! ”
Lie is educating the little spider who is not deeply involved in the world, in his opinion, the little spider is good, but it is a little too indiscriminate to be a good person, which is not good for his future growth, and he can watch more. lest this young man end up exhausted all his life because of his character that is not an advantage.
The uproar in the New York mayoral election is over, except for some gangsters who are still jumping, basically Jameson has bid farewell to the mayoral election, and he still has to deal with the bad reviews of reporters and lawsuits.
At this time, in the intensive care unit of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, a tall white man was waking up slowly, his blonde hair and his handsome and resolute face were enough to make many girls scream about it.
When he woke up, he looked at the layout around his hospital room and wondered, as if he was on a plane with Hydra. And at this time, the nurse who entered the ward because he woke up saw him and directly answered his doubts: "I'm glad you woke up, Captain Rogers, this is New York City." ”
Rogers, who was not let down by the nurse's sweet smile, took advantage of the nurse's inattention and went out directly. His instincts and vigilance after years of fighting prevented him from staying in an unfamiliar environment for long, and as he left the room, he knocked down the security guards who stopped him and escaped from the building.
Running on the streets of New York, he didn't know where he was, and the cars and skyscrapers were not the New York he was familiar with. Where am I, is this New York? How long did I sleep! These questions filled his mind.
"Calm down, soldier." At this time, the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel who reacted also surrounded him and dispersed the surrounding crowd of onlookers. Fury stepped forward and said to him.
"How long have I been unconscious," Rogers asked, gasping as he looked at the familiar and yet unfamiliar city.
"You've been in a coma for 70 years, and times have changed a lot." Nick answered Rogers' question.
Listening to Nick's words, Rogers couldn't believe it was true, but he had to believe it because it was the most plausible explanation. Thinking about the promises he had made, the comrades-in-arms he had fought side by side, he still couldn't accept this fact. He crouched down and patted his head with one hand, a look of pain and regret on his face.
"Is something wrong? Soldier. Nick asked with concern.
"Sir, I missed an appointment." Rogers, who looked up, had tears on his face, the legendary hero who had led the Allies to victory in World War II shed tears for the first time.
In the days that followed, Captain America Steve Brown. Rogers has been in his hospital room, watching documentaries of how the world has changed over the past seventy years, watching every newspaper in modern society.
He accepted the fact that he was living in the 21st century, but as a man who had been blank for seventy years, he needed to re-understand the world and integrate into it. Reading books and newspapers is his daily life, but this kind of impact still makes him a little unbearable, too much, too many things have crossed between the 20th century and the 21st century.
In this century, technology has grown exponentially, and even if he has the serum support of a super soldier, he still can't accept it.
"Captain, you still don't look good." Coulson worries that since Captain America woke up, Coulson, as Captain America's number one fan, took the initiative to ask Ying to tutor Rogers to take the initiative to integrate into the world. Just looking at the situation, Rogers is still quite resistant.
"Well, Coulson, as much as I accept that I'm living seventy years later, there are some things that aren't just good." Rogers sighed.
"All will be fine, Captain." Coulson reassured.
"Are you sure? The world has changed its place, Coulson. Rogers pointed to the television about the speech on the mayor election of George the other day.
"In my day, no one cared if you were a mutant or not, they only cared if you were a good person. Look at the news now, everyone is paying attention to it, but this news was not very important in my time, and the attitude towards mutants now reminds me of the concentration camps I used to see in Germany. Steve scoffed.
'But we're working hard, captain, and it's a good start.' Coulson argued.
"yes, but that's not how it should go, is it?" Rogers replied, his answer left Coulson a little speechless, he didn't know the chaos in society right now, but even he didn't know when these situations began.
Rogers didn't linger on the subject with Coulson, and got up and dressed himself. "I want to go out for a walk, can I?"
"Of course, Captain."
"I'll see you then, Coulson, and I'd like to be alone." With that, Steve left the S.H.I.E.L.D. building alone.
He walked aimlessly on the streets of New York, taking the subway at random, getting off at any stop, but fortunately the subway stations in New York had not changed much, he thought to himself.
He had been to his former home in Brooklyn, which was now an office building, and he didn't even have his home. In a sense, he was homeless, shook his head, and Steve left on a different route.
On the street, he is like an anomaly, wearing the clothes of the last century, walking the streets of 21st century New York. No one cares about him, no one knows him, a superhero of the 20th century who has the same appearance, the first superhero in human history to go down in history - Captain America.
Before he knew it, he walked downstairs to the Genesis Enterprise Building, found a nearby café and sat down, and watched the scrolling display screen on the Genesis Enterprise Building. We are going to create a better world, and this is the meaning of our existence. Rolling promotional videos and slogans have been playing the purpose of the company.
"That's a great business." The waitress who handed Rogers coffee said as she saw Rogers looking at the genesis enterprise in a trance.
"Do you know the business well?" Rogers asked the hostess.
"I don't know, but this company has been living up to its purpose." The hostess replied. "They've changed the way a lot of people live, they've changed the way a lot of people think. They have done a lot of practical things that even the state has not done. ”
"You seem to like this business." Rogers quipped.
"In fact, I'm working and studying part-time, trying to get a scholarship from them." The hostess replied playfully.
"Thank you for the explanation, and the coffee is delicious." Rogers replied with a smile, looking at the building in front of him, maybe he should go inside and understand that the founder of this business is still a young man who is not a few years younger than him.
He settled the accounts and walked towards the creation enterprise.
