Chapter 389: Howard

Hero!?

What a heavy word, isn't every hero as painful as Rogers is now!

He stood in the doorway, closed the door, and it was just him and the old woman on the bed.

The woman looked at Rogers with a look of apprehension and compassion, who could know the pain in her heart, the man she loved the most, was still exactly the same as he had been.

"Peggy!"

Rogers spoke, he whispered, and then slowly, very slowly, walked to Peggy's bedside, he sat down and stretched out his hand, but Peggy's hands were all under the covers.

Peggy didn't reply, she didn't stretch out her hand, her eyes made Rogers hesitate, Rogers' hands hung in the air, he didn't know what to do, the old lover in front of him made his heart twitch, not because of the aging of that delicate face, but because of the time they had missed.

"I'm sorry!"

After hesitating for a long time, Rogers could only say such a sentence, and he put his hand on the quilt, even through the quilt, Peggy could feel the trembling of Rogers' hands.

Peggy exhaled, she finally took her hand out of the quilt with difficulty, and saw her lover's old and decayed hand, Rogers quickly shook it.

Peggy was really old, even if her hands had been in the bed, it was extremely cold to hold now, which made Rogers' heart tremble fiercely.

"I'm sorry, Peggy, I really ...... I'm really sorry, I love you!"

Rogers was almost crying, he gently pressed Peggy's old hand to his face, and he kissed it gently, which made Peggy smile kindly!

In Rogers' memory, that smile may be charming, maybe charming, maybe delicate, maybe smart, but in any case, Rogers didn't expect that on the day of goodbye, what he saw from it was kindness, and it seemed that only kindness remained.

But at this moment, Peggy slowly spoke, and she said as she held Rogers.

"Excuse me?"

She used a rhetorical tone, which made Rogers extremely ashamed, and he only felt that he had made her wait too long.

"That's right, Peggy, I'...... I failed you, I ...... Missed our appointment. ”

"But I don't blame you, Rogers!"

Peggy said slowly, and as she spoke, she took her hand out of Rogers' palm, and then, the hand slowly reached for Rogers' face.

"I don't blame you, you made a sacrifice, and I never felt that my love would be more important than the lives of millions of people, when you sank the plane with the Cosmic Cube into the North Pole, I ...... I'm only proud of you!"

After she finished speaking, she reached out and gently stroked Rogers' face, the touch from her palm made her want to cry, she was old, but Rogers was still so young, she was no longer the girl she was back then, and the touch of Rogers' skin was no different from the past.

"I ...... I'm really glad you're back, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"

Speaking of this, Peggy finally couldn't help crying, her tears burst out of her eyes instantly, and then, she desperately tried to wipe away her tears, she was never a weak woman, but until this moment, her weakness finally escaped from the shackles of the corners of her eyes.

"I regret it, I really regret it, Steve, I regret that I wasn't with you then, forgive me for not being with you all the time, forgive me!"

"No, you're not wrong, Peggy, it's me, if I could have been more cautious, if my plan of action would have been more perfect, if I hadn't let the Red Skulls carry the conspiracy to the point of no return, if I could do the best, then we wouldn't be like this!"

"No...... It's not this that I regret, I ...... Well, Rogers, we have to calm down, no matter what, you're back, you didn't let my wait go in vain, you didn't forget our agreement, then it's me who broke the contract now, and it's me who made us miss that dance!"

"But that's not your fault!"

Rogers made the final decision, he leaned down directly and kissed Peggy's now dry lips, the tears on Peggy's face suddenly became more, she was crazy, using all her strength to push Rogers away, until Rogers obeyed her and stood in the distance, Peggy's struggle stopped!

"Get out, get out of here, Sharon, Sharon......!"

Peggy suddenly changed her initial appearance, only to see her shout a person's name, and then, the door of the room quickly opened, only to see the female nurse who had just had a brief conversation with Rogers at the door rushed in!

"What happened?"

The female nurse asked nervously, and then she saw Peggy's trembling hands pointing at Steve Rogers!

"Sharon, kick him out and let him go, what the hell am I, how could I agree to let him see me as I am, I'm so ugly and old,!"

She yelled as if she was going to yell out the last of her life, and looking at Peggy's crazy look, Sharon looked helplessly at Rogers, who was also in pain and guilt!

And Rogers, even if he still had ten thousand words to say, he could only turn away, and at the moment of leaving the room, when he was about to close the door, Rogers finally turned his head reluctantly, and he finally looked at Peggy.

However, Peggy, who had always been watching Rogers, began to curse again the moment Rogers turned his head, and Rogers hurriedly left, with endless pain and remorse, he rushed out of the nursing home and rushed directly to the street, the bustling flow of people in front of him made his heart feel anxious!

"I don't belong to this world, look at what I've done, I've brought eternal pain to my lover, even if the rest of her life is near, this pain will never be erased, what a goddamn fool!"

He kept cursing himself in his heart, he ran recklessly, he rushed into the street, he crossed the street, he dodged the passing vehicles, he sprinted willfully!

At the same time, in the hall of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Nick Fury was looking at Rogers at this time.

"Director, will you just let Captain Rogers be like this?"

"He'll take care of himself because he's the captain!"

Nick Fury replied coldly, he knew what kind of person Rogers was, and as for now, the captain still needed time to adapt.

And Rogers, Nick is right, all he needs at this time is to adapt!

In this way, many people in New York today saw the figure running like Forrest Gump, Rogers ran for more than three hours, he ran almost all the main roads of New York, until finally, he stopped at the door of an antique café!

The café also has seating on both sides of the street, and what attracted Rogers was the old-fashioned TV in front of the café at the time, on which the black-and-white TV was now playing Captain America's early years!

And the guests sitting on the seats in this café are mostly old people who are nostalgic for the past, and a few women with children, Captain America's comic strip has been updated countless times, and it is still the most popular work for children, at this point, the only thing that can compare with Team America is the handsome and handsome Demon Hunter!

And the direction Rogers was looking at was the three children on the table next to the TV, which was probably a family, because the three children, like their mother, had brown hair.

At this point, the children are clearly having some disagreements, and the only girl among the three children is explaining loudly to the two younger brothers!

"You're not right, Captain America isn't the most handsome hero, Demon Hunter is, I like his hair, and when I'm older, I'll convince my mom to dye my hair for me!"

"Ha, Lauria, you're such a face-loving guy, I don't admit that Demon Hunters can compare to Captain America, Demon Hunters haven't won World War II!"

"Aha, Pete, I don't like war like you boys, not fighting doesn't mean you can't be a hero, Demon Hunter has saved the Earth many times, it was said in the comics just released, Dante defeated Odin who wanted to invade the Earth, that's a god, Captain America hasn't defeated a god!"

"I don't care, Captain America is the best, I like what he says, it's great!"

"Dante is the most powerful, it's Dante, Mom, do you say Dante is the most powerful?"

The children's war soon burned on the mother, and while the mother was explaining to the children, Rogers kept thinking about what the child had just said!

That girl is right, there is no war, it does not mean that heroes are useless, she has failed Peggy, then she must not fail these countless American people, absolutely not!

Thinking of this, Rogers' spirit was shocked, but in the next moment, he was interrupted by a voice from behind him.

"Is there anything I can do to help you, sir?"

"Uh...... Well, please give me a cup of coffee, I'm ......!"

Facing the waiter's question, Rogers was stunned halfway through the answer, because he found that he didn't even have any money on him, and this discovery made him feel embarrassed!

The well-informed waiter quickly saw Rogers' embarrassment on Rogers' embarrassed expression, only to see her smile and open her mouth to speak.

"Everybody has their time in trouble, right, well, I don't mind being your hero once today, please take a seat, although the coffee I offer you won't be expensive, but it will be cooked by me. ”

"Well, this ...... Thank you so much!"

Rogers was shocked by the waitress again, he sat down in embarrassment on the seat that the waiter guided him, and after the waiter left, Rogers was moved to almost tears!

"Yes, I've always been narrow-minded, how can heroes only appear on the battlefield, life is full of such heroes!"

Looking at the back of the waitress leaving, Rogers silently made a decision.

"Such a perfect America, such a kind citizen, I must protect them, and use the rest of my life to make up for everything I have missed!"

He made up his mind, and the expression on his face perked up, which meant that Captain America was really back!

It's a pity that he didn't know that at this time, Nick Fury was nodding approvingly to his subordinates in the video, and the next moment, Nick raised his hand violently, and he said to Hill!

"Upgrading the agent who served as a waiter, her tone is very real!"

"Yes, Director!"

Hill nodded, and then left silently!

At the same time, in the nursing home where Peggy lives, after Rogers is chased away by Peggy, the female nurse Sharon looks at Peggy worriedly.

"Auntie, you didn't say you wanted to ......!"

"No need!"

The female nurse was halfway through her sentence when Peggy interrupted her, and Peggy silently burst into tears, and then she raised her hand and began to drive the little nurse away.

"Sharon, go, I want to be by myself for a while, just myself, I want to ...... Quietly. ”

"But ......?"

"No, let's go!"

Before Sharon could give an opinion, Peggy sternly vetoed, at this moment, Peggy's body was full of majesty, she was like the queen of England, and her whole body was full of amazing brilliance!

"Yes!"

In the face of such an aunt, Sha Lang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart while leaving, she was really worried that her aunt would do things such as seeking death, but when her aunt regained her former majesty, Sha Lang knew that her aunt's heart knot had been opened, and she hadn't seen it in her aunt for more than twenty years!

"Click......!"

Shalang left, the door closed, Peggy lay silently on the bed, only to see her lift the quilt with difficulty, then she sat up with difficulty, she hung her bony feet to the edge of the bed, and then, the soles of her feet slowly touched the ground, and she finally stood up.

Just as she was standing firm, the walls of the sanatorium shattered, not simply broken, but as if there was an extra door in the wall.

At the same time, a flirtatious voice came out of the door, and even listening to it could make one imagine how attentive the owner of the voice must be.

"Peggy, did you succeed in your test, did he dislike you now, if he did that, can you give me a chance, haha!"

The voice slowly approached, and after a few moments, Peggy saw the figure with a mustache, and if Dante was here, he would be surprised to find that this person was seven or eight points similar to Tony!

And Peggy, when the man finished speaking, she smiled and shook her head, and said to the man.

"You don't have a chance, no more, Rogers still loves me, I didn't notice it for a while, and he kissed my ugly lips now, hell!"

"Haha, okay, then I want to congratulate you, for so many years, I have been searching for the whereabouts of Rogers, who knows that fate is so magical, when you and I have given up hope of his survival, Rogers actually appeared like that!"

"Hmph, we give up hope, isn't it because we have found the plane that Rogers flew back then, and there was no Rogers and the Cosmic Cube on that plane, but now, the superhero Dante you worried about has helped us send Rogers back!"

Speaking of this, Peggy's eyes couldn't help but leave tears again, and she said emotionally.

"And...... Rogers is still so young, just like he was back then!"

"Haha, you can rest assured, that guy will definitely be able to satisfy you in bed, I really envy him, we are all old, and it is difficult for me to even deal with three models now!"

The flirtatious mustache joked, but immediately after, he was mercilessly scolded by Peggy.

"Shut up, Howard, look at your own face, you look like Rogers, it's just me who gets old, it's just me!"

"But who is to blame for this, I have long advised you to inject the elixir of longevity, but you can still delay it again and again because of the greed for the lover who has long died in your heart, but fortunately, your current physical condition can barely adapt to the elixir of longevity, if Rogers appears two years later, no, even if it is only one year late, you will no longer be qualified to bear the elixir of longevity at that time!"

"Shut up, I didn't make this decision for Steve's sake, I'm for my country, you bastard!"

Hearing Howard's words, Peggy quibbled, which made Howard smile understandingly.

"Well, whatever you say is what you say, anyway, my dear friend, soon you will be rejuvenated, you will be one of us, and the Illuminati will welcome you!"

"Welcome me?"

Listening to Howard's words, Peggy chuckled under her breath.

"Then next, shouldn't I find a chance to die!"

"Yes, you deserve to die, just like me. ”

Howard smiled happily as he spoke, after seventy-six years, he finally regained his other two best friends, but unfortunately he had already lost Jarvis. I want to talk about "Demon Hunter in the American World" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
