"Coulson—"

Steve's voice came from behind, stopping Coulson's departure.

"Captain, I'm ......"

Coulson turned his head with a smile, but the smile quickly turned to a smile.

Looking into Steve Rogers' calm eyes, he couldn't say anything about the excuse that came to his lips.

Some are legends in their own right, and the name alone can be a source of respect.

For the non-religious Coulson, "Captain America" means an alternative faith, and even if he has enough professional training and knowledge as a secret agent, he can't lie under the gaze of the other party.

So, he stood silently, as a way to show his unspeakable suffering.

"You're going to find the Ancient One, right?"

Steve isn't a tough man, but he has to ask now, because Coulson's performance has signaled that the matter is urgent.

"Let's go together!"

Dressed in loose mage attire, Steve got up from the ground where he was sitting cross-legged and walked to the cabin behind him.

Coulson followed behind him, his expression was entangled, and he said in embarrassment for a long time: "Captain, the director ...... him"

"It's nothing to do with anyone," Steve Rogers, who pushed the door in, turned back with a solemn expression, "It's my responsibility!"

Coulson wanted to persuade again, but he didn't know what to say.

Although he did not know what was really going on in New York at this time, the commanding words and hurried tone of his director's communication did not make a difference.

Clearly, the situation is urgent.

Only in this way will Nick Fury ignore his own "principles of communication between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Kama Taj" and ask Coulson to invite the "Supreme Mage", who has not yet appeared in New York.

In this respect, Coulson did not dissuade "Captain America" from taking a position to get involved.

However, the director of his own bureau repeatedly stressed in the communicator that he should conceal or reassure Steve, not to involve him, and as an agent, he naturally had to follow orders.

Coulson understands his director's thoughts, the U.S. authorities are not ready to let Steve show up now, and if Captain America appears rashly, it is likely to cause a conflict between the U.S. authorities and S.H.I.E.L.D.

After all, it's hard for politicians to believe that Captain America, who has a reputation close to Jesus in the hearts of the people, would really disdain power and wealth as the legend suggests when he finds out.

Even if this were the case, the attitude of this "righteous son of God" to the political situation with a strong sense of justice would tie the hands of the authorities.

There is nothing wrong with suspicion, and even Coulson, who admires the American team so much, is hard to say wrong.

It's not about trust, because even if Steve doesn't do that, the leaders of other countries will help him think of it and guide him to do it.

There is an old Chinese saying, "A gentleman can be deceived in a way", not to mention that the current United States may not be much stronger than Germany in the past, and in some parts of Asia and Africa, it is not enough to describe it as "infamous".

"Coulson, I know you're worried about something. Steve patted the young man on the shoulder and said in a firm tone, "But now is not the time to think about that!"

"When I took the shield, I swore that I would use it all my life to protect the weak and fight evil, and now that another disaster has struck, I cannot choose to turn a blind eye to the suffering of the majority of people because I have to take into account the thoughts of some individuals. ”

"Captain......

Before Coulson could finish his sentence, Steve reached out to stop him.

He pointed to the sky and asked, "How was the starlight?"

Coulson was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the topic jumped there, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Great, I've never felt like my body is so good!"

"I'm also very grateful, but it has nothing to do with the body," Steve looked at Coulson with a puzzled face, and continued, "There is a merciful mercy in the starlight, and it heals my soul!"

"It made me understand that my so-called worries about not being able to adapt to the times, my entanglement with American political behavior, and my fear of the reverence and expectations of the people are all manifestations of cowardice and fear of responsibility, but they are only dressed in a little glossy. ”

"Why should I be afraid?"

"A lot of people are born strong, but I'm not, I don't know how many times I've been bullied and bullied, but I've never begged for mercy and resentment. ”

"Because I know that once I beg for mercy, I will not be able to keep my head held high in my life, and if I let resentment pile up in my chest, I will soon become as unbearable as the group of bullying the weak under the influence of the negative emotions like a poisonous snake's bite. ”

"I've always lived a simple life, but now I don't have to think about complexity. ”

"My heart tells me that suffering and tragedy are unfolding, so all I have to do is hold up my shield and stand in front of them!"

With that, Steve walked inside.

Coulson followed in, looked at the simple furnishings, thought about it and said his opinion: "Captain, didn't you say that you want to master special powers, giving up now is likely to be in vain." ”

"There are Ancient One Masters and Avengers in New York, and they won't ......"

"Do you really think the Ancient One will go to New York?"

Steve asked with a smile, and Coulson didn't say a word.

It was not the first time that they had come into contact with the Supreme Mage, and they understood the sage's temper and attitude towards the world.

If what happened in New York was really an invasion from the other world or instigated by outsiders, there was no need for others to make a noise, and the Ancient One would be there as soon as possible.

But Nick Fury asked Coulson to ask for it, which meant that the situation was urgent and the Ancient One didn't show up.

Two reasons, either the ancient one is not in Kama Taj, or what happened in New York is an internal affair of the Earth.

The former means that there are twists and turns in Dormammu, and the latter means that Kama Taj is reluctant to intervene.

In either case, the Ancient One would not change his attitude because of Coulson's or Steve's invitation.

"Hopefully it's not Dormammu attacking ......"

After being silent for a long time, Coulson said with a wry smile.

During this time in Kama Taj, the name of "Dormammu" made their ears callous.

All the mages have studied hard to stop Dormammu, and are fanatical like the gray wolf who delved into the magic seal wave in order to capture Gatgard.

Instead of responding, Steve walked over to the wooden wall and took off the round shield and his combat uniform.

"Captain...... I still think ......"

"Afraid of embarrassing me?"

Steve asked teasingly, his smiling eyes seeming straight through Coulson's heart.

"Uh......"

Coulson's face flushed, and he tilted his gaze to the side in embarrassment.

He really thought so, so it would be extremely embarrassing after being told by Steve.

There is no disdain in it, just pure worry and concern.

Steve Rogers was active in World War II, against the German army and Hydra agents, and now, Coulson doesn't realize how much of an advantage the captain has over New York's supercriminals who can tear down buildings and bomb streets with a wave of his hand.

Young people love to dream, dreaming of superheroes fighting all evil.

Among them, the invincible image may be himself, or he may be an idol.

For Coulson, the fantasy "Captain America" is always invincible, and there have been many mutants who have been tearing apart with a group of children on forums before Team America can defeat the Hulk in a few moves and quell a riot in a few minutes.

However, people cannot always live in fantasy, they must always face reality.

Coulson desperately wanted to see the captain again on the battlefield to protect the planet, but even though he always believed that the captain would make the mighty evildoers look good, there was always a voice whispering in his ear - "What if?"

In the unlikely event that "Captain America's" return debut fails, will these tidal waves of adoration and praise turn into denigration?

Will the Avengers look down on this self-defeating antique?

Coulson was afraid that at some point the captain would be as outdated as "black-and-white television" and "communication radio", and would be eliminated and become an old-time existence that only existed in stories and museum stele records.

Therefore, he is very contradictory: that is, he hopes that Steve will return to the United States, share the news that "Captain America" is still alive with everyone he admires, and dissuade the other party from taking action when encountering things, so as to prevent the sad scene of the end of the legend and the fall of the heroes.

"Captain, I don't have ........"

"I know what you mean, Coulson, that you care, not despise. ”

Steve gave Coulson a hug, then patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "I'm not angry, on the contrary, very grateful." ”

"It's because of a friend like you that I should go. ”

"If I back down today, is it still the 'Captain America' you know?"

"......"

"I have fought a good battle, when I have run the road I have run away, I have kept the word I believed, and there are no regrets and worries in life. ”

"I was clothed in battle and earned the title of 'Captain America', if my old antique is really outdated, then let me scrap it in battle!"

Steve Rogers' voice was not loud, nor firm, but more like a veteran returning to his hometown in the yard reminiscing about his bloody youth with his juniors.

"Captain, I'll go to New York with you and fight together!"

Coulson's eyes were red, and he said to Steve word by word.

"You go outside and wait for a while, and we'll talk about it in a moment when we get to New York. ”

Steve didn't respond to Coulson's words, but pointed out the door and said softly.

"No, Captain, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to charge with you, just like Mr. Bucky back then!"

Coulson stood still, still insisting on his demands.

"Uh......"

Steve shook his head, and then handed over the things in his hand with a wry smile: "No matter how anxious you are, you have to let me change into the suit first, right?"
