Chapter 221; He still owes me a dance
It's a quiet little cottage on the outskirts of New York, where there's no loud noise and no foul air. There are just bright sunshine and well-organized flowers and plants, and butterflies flutter among the flowers, enjoying the pollen and morning dewdrops.
At this time, in the room, there was an old woman lying on the bed, and time had carved wrinkles on her face, taking away her beauty and youth, and draining her blood and sharpness.
It is difficult for anyone to associate the heroine of World War II with this dying old woman in front of her, and it is difficult for anyone to imagine that this woman, who had difficulty even sitting up from bed, once had the terrible influence that several presidents bowed their heads to. In any case, the glory and glory of the past have nothing to do with her, because she is dying.
Withdrawing her gaze from the outside, the old woman's eyes gradually closed, and she seemed to be asleep, or perhaps recalling something. People like to remember when they are old, and if a normal person experiences such a magnificent life as hers, then even the memories will be full and full.
But for her, those so-called glorious experiences are just clouds of the past, these are not what she wants at all, in fact, they do not belong to her, these are the experiences of her surviving in place of that person. In her mind, the memory that really belongs to her will always be the promise made to her by that day, the brave and shy tall man.

The sound of the door opening came at this moment, interrupting her memories.
"Sharon, I'm feeling good today, don't let me take that pill." The old woman said without looking back.
"Ms. Carter, with all due respect, the medicine I brought today, you should seriously consider the answer." An unfamiliar man's voice came at this moment.
The old woman in the twilight opened her eyes and saw a one-eyed black man sitting in front of her.
"You're Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., why did you come to me as a retired old woman?"
"Ms. Carter, I came to you because we need your strength, and the current situation can only be resolved by your intervention." I saw Fury put the small box in his hand on his lap and began to explain the current situation with a serious face.
"I see, it turns out that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by Hydra, and I was strongly opposed to the original plan to recover the Paperclip of Nazi scientists, but Howard Stark still insisted on doing it." Carter said with a deep sigh.
"Of course, now is not the time to blame him, after that he must have sensed something, so he was assassinated, and in the end, this bitter fruit was eaten by my old friend himself."
"Ma'am, now is not the time to shirk responsibility and remember old friends, what we need to do is how to solve this matter." Fury reminded.
"I know that." Carter nodded. "You have done a good job, Hydra is a hierarchical organization, and orders from superiors are often absolute to subordinates. And as long as the largest head is controlled, although S.H.I.E.L.D. will still be greatly damaged, at least it will not be at the mercy of Hydra. ”
"But we want more than that, Ms. Carter, how chaotic the world is right now, you should have heard it even if you were in bed. We need a strong organization to protect this fragile world, and that organization is S.H.I.E.L.D. alone. Fury said with a serious face.
"Ms. Carter, this world was bought by you and your former comrades-in-arms with blood and life. And it was to protect this achievement that you and Mr. Howard together founded S.H.I.E.L.D. It can be said that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been able to get to where it is today, and it is inseparable from the efforts you have spent a lifetime of hard work, can you tolerate its destruction like this? ”
"Of course I don't want to see that, but ·····" Carter shook his head, a bitter expression on his face. "But I'm old, and you're not looking at Carter, the heroine who once led the Roaring Commandos in breaking through the last lair of Hydra, but an old woman who doesn't even have the strength to get up from her bed. I don't have the strength to fight Hydra anymore. ”
Hearing Carter's words, Fury was not discouraged, but smiled and opened the box on his lap. "Ma'am, as far as I know, the word aging has always been relative. In ancient times, even in the East, where living conditions were better, people there already called themselves old husbands at the age of thirty, and now, forty years old is still the prime of life. Therefore, the word "old" can be adjusted relative to the human lifespan. ”
After Fury said this, he took out a golden crystal from the box and handed it to Carter.
"It's the X Crystal, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and it can awaken people, but that's just one of its features. As everyone knows, the overall physical quality of the supernatural is far greater than that of ordinary people, and the average lifespan of the supernatural is about 30 to 50 years higher than that of ordinary people. And if you add this thing, that number can go up. Fury said and pulled out a small test tube from the box.
"This is the blood of the apocalypse, you can think of it as a great tonic for the supernatural, as long as you drink it, it is not difficult for your lifespan to break through the one hundred and fifty year mark. At that time, if you are less than 100 years old, you can still be considered in the prime of life. ”
Hearing this, Carter showed a hint of surprise on his face, but he didn't show an expression of ecstasy like an ordinary old man. Maybe some people are very afraid of death when they are old and desperately want to live longer, but Carter is not, she has lived enough, and she is tired.
In fact, the real Peggy Carter was frozen together with the American team as early as 70 years ago, and Carter after that was just to replace Captain America to live, and the things she did should have been done after the American team returned victoriously, and Peggy Carter is a person who has always lived in the past.
I saw her staring at the X crystal, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly opened the drawer next to the bed with difficulty and found an identical golden crystal from it.
"This was given to me by my niece Sharon, and before that, she said the same thing to you." Carter stared at the X-Crystal, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The whole room fell silent at this moment, and after a long time, Carter raised his head and spoke slowly; "Steve, is he okay?"
"He's good, he's definitely the same now as you once knew, a determined fighter who fights for his faith." Fury replied.
Carter just nodded, and then fell back into deep thought. "It was Steve who saved the world, and we ····· We've made it this terrible thing again. All this should not be like this, he has already died once in the battle with Hydra for his beliefs, and now the mess we have caused should not be let him bear it again, he should have a fresh start. ”
Carter said, his expression became resolute, and he clenched the X crystal in his hand, and Carter raised his hand and threw the X crystal to the ground with all his strength.
"Bang~!" The X crystal that fell to the ground shattered with a sound and turned into a puff of golden smoke that poured into Carter's body with the air current.
The next moment, Carter let out a muffled snort, and she grabbed the sheets hard, and her face seemed to show a trace of pain. Carter's ability awakening seemed to be intense, and she saw that her old and thin body began to grow stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The age spots on his body quickly disappeared at this time, Carter's skin began to regain elasticity and luster as if it had been reborn, and the most shocking thing was that Carter's gray hair also turned back to brown and yellow. The wrinkles that disappear at a visible rate, and the twin peaks that have regained their erection are all indications, and Carter's abilities seem to be a little different from what he expected.
"What's going on?" Carter looked at his changing body and said in disbelief.
"I don't know what's going on?" Looking at Carter, who looked younger than himself and seemed to be only about twenty-five years old, Fury was also blindsided all of a sudden. "It seems that I remember Lu Fang telling me that the awakening of the ability is related to the replenishment of one's physical and psychological defects, and if you have any strong obsessions, you may ······."
"There is only one obsession and regret I have had in the past 70 years." The rejuvenated Carter interrupts Fury, who seems to have become a quick-witted and heroic World War II heroine again. "That's Steve, he still owes me a dance~!"
·······
While Fury and the others were dealing with the Hydra undercover agents in S.H.I.E.L.D., there were also some people on the other side who were working non-stop on their own plans.
In a gloomy underground corridor, after a flash of pale yellow light, two figures suddenly appeared, one and a half to be more precise, of course. There is a person who only has a naked upper body, but he is not dead, but under a strange force, his body is still growing and healing itself.
On the contrary, which intact person is vomiting blood at this time, and even there are fragments of internal organs hidden in the blood, his internal organs have been seriously damaged, if it weren't for his partner blocking most of the attacks for him, and the physical fitness of the ability is really strong, then he can't hold on to returning to the base at all, the attack of the fifth-level ability is really terrifying.
And when this person vomited blood, a group of people suddenly walked over, but the man with the eyes at the head did not look at this person, but walked straight to the man who only had his upper body.
