Eight years later, in Brooklyn, New York City

Over the years, the kids at the school have treated Slade like a super freak, with no friends, no one's birthday party, and no extracurricular activities at school. It seems that there is nothing in the school that is worthy of Slade nostalgia other than what the school has to ask for. As soon as the bell rang for the end of school, Slade rushed out of the classroom. None of his classmates knew where he was going, and no one wanted to know.

Since elementary school, Slade has had only three places to go: an orphanage, a school, and a Captain America memorial.

From five years of elementary school to three years of junior high school, Slade went to the Captain America Memorial every day. From Monday to Friday, Uncle Li would show Slade the cartoons he had drawn, and from time to time tell Slade about the gossip of superheroes that were not described in the comics.

Uncle Li has become the most trusted and warmest person in Slade's life. Uncle Li gave Slade Christmas gifts, Uncle Li made Halloween costumes for Slade, and Uncle Li bought burritos for Slade because the orphanage was really short of food. Uncle Li didn't have any relatives, so he simply raised Slade as his grandson. Slade is also not looking for some of the latest "Playboy" to bring to Uncle Li.

Today is a special day. Slade is graduating from junior high school and is about to enter Midtown High School of Science and Technology.

Midtown High School of Science and Technology is one of the best public schools in New York for indoor purposes, especially in science and engineering. The students who are able to enter this high school are all science and engineering students who have excellent grades in junior high school. Every year, 2-3 top students enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). As the best science and engineering school in the United States, and with super-rich alumni like Tony Stark, MIT is basically the dream school for all Midtown Tech High School students.

Slade applied to this school on the strong recommendation of Uncle Li. As for the reason, Uncle Li just didn't give a detailed reason. However, the Captain America Memorial is not far from this school, and Slade has tried it.

Although Slade's GPA in junior high school is not particularly high, it is also passable. When applying, I went through a wave of special channels through my status as a disabled person. Successfully got into this high school with a low acceptance rate.

For the next three months of the summer, you will be ready to relax and earn some money.

It's the last day of junior high school, and there will be a graduation ceremony and dance party at school. After attending the graduation ceremony, Slade took his diploma and ran to the Captain America memorial.

There are not many people around the Captain America Memorial, and it is quite deserted except for many children who come to visit on weekends. Only Uncle Li sat at the entrance of the memorial hall and slept.

Uncle Li sensed that Slade was approaching, so he opened his eyes. "Little ghost, did you graduate from junior high school?"

"yes."

"Isn't there supposed to be a party that night?" Uncle Li raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, yes, it's not interesting." Slade shrugged.

"That's also a good opportunity to pick up girls! How can you not seize this kind of opportunity? Sometimes I really suspect that you are frigid. Uncle Li's lewd expression made Slade very disdainful.

"Dancing? Are you serious? No one wants to dance with an unlikable one-eyed man. ”

"If you lower your standards a little, I'm afraid there will still be." Uncle Li sighed. "Forget it, let's get down to business." What are you going to do in the next three months? “

"Make some money. What's wrong? Do you have any special arrangements? “

"There are some things you can start preparing for, haven't you been thinking about wanting to be like Captain America and participate in the big things about the world? OK, it's time for you to start training. Uncle Li looked at Slade with a serious face.

Slade nodded. In the past, he wanted to enter Wall Street and make a lot of money, and he no longer had to worry about food and clothing. But since he was a child, under the influence of Uncle Li, he hopes to become a person who can witness big events and be in them. Especially after learning that there are more powerful and destructive beings in this world, Slade wants to become stronger, and does not want to become an ant to be slaughtered by this world.

"I see, so what should I do?" Slade had a goal, but he didn't have a clue how to do it.

"What do you think of Captain America?"

"Awesome!"

"OK, then set a small goal first, defeat Captain America."

"Isn't Captain America already sacrificed?"

"What if I told you he's still alive?" Uncle Li said meaningfully to Slade.

Crash felt a storm in his heart. "Where the hell did you get this information?"

"Haha, I'm starting to ask this question again. I don't even know how many times I've told you, I know just I know. Uncle Li waved his hand impatiently. From now on, I won't divulge the secrets, and I will inquire about other people's deepest secrets every day, and I will be annoyed to death. “

"So what should I do?" Slade was a little anxious, "Is it like the comic book you showed me?" Learn what Superman Clark Kent went to work at a newspaper? ”

"Newspaper? You go to the newspaper office and ask, who knows the news that Captain America is not dead. Uncle Li staggered his legs, "If anyone knows, I will change my name to Stan * Wang." ”

Uncle Li looked at Slade who was deep in thought and sighed, "Forget it, it's strange that you can know this kind of thing." I'll show you the way, the Bureau of Territorial Strategic Defense, Attack and Logistics Support. ”

“WTF?” Slade looked confused. Such a strange name should be an organization.

"You go check it out first! Find out, and you're a little closer to the truth of this world. ”

Slade nodded, although he had no clue before, but now he has a strange clue - "Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau".

Slade said hello to Uncle Li and was about to go back to the orphanage. Uncle Li's eyes changed from white to the endless darkness of the universe again, "Remember, it's not far from the occurrence of a major event in this world, join S.H.I.E.L.D. as soon as possible." This startled Slade. The sound of the whole sentence is not at all what an earthling person can say, and the vicissitudes of life seem to have a lot of phlegm stuck in the throat. Uncle Li has not been like this in the past eight years. I think it was the first day Slade met Uncle Li, and Uncle Li showed this indescribable state. "First of all, enter Stark Industries, where you will meet a lot of interesting people, including the S.H.I.E.L.D. doglegs."

Slade nodded and bowed deeply to Uncle Li. When Slade straightened up, Uncle Li's eyes became normal again. "Boy, what are you doing at the door without moving? What to do, what to do. ”

Without saying a word, Slade ran out of the Captain America memorial.

As the sun sets, Slade looks at the carefree children playing around the orphanage and the adults running around for a living. Looking at their completely unprepared state before the crisis hit, Slade sighed. No one knew what disaster would happen next, not even Slade himself, but anyway, it was time to improve himself.
