"Eric, if you're worried about money, you don't have to. Because we decided to hire you. Howard reacted and patted Eric on the shoulder and smiled.

"Hire me?" Eric didn't quite understand what Howard was saying.

"That's right, Eric. We all know that you can control the metal. And we happen to be more interested in crafting metal objects, and we thought you could help. If you agree, the tuition fee is covered with us. And maybe there will be extra salary.

And, Eric, would you like to have your own Warframe? Study hard, and in the future, you will definitely be better than relying on the ability to control metal alone. ”

Howard has a lot of hope for Eric, and he feels that Eric has the potential to be a hero.

So Eric temporarily stayed at Howard's house, because because of the war, British schools were actually not very safe. Therefore, at this time, Eric was basically taking care of his mother, and when he had free time, he followed Howard and Li Yi to do experiments, or process metal.

When he was working as an assistant, two Ph.D.s in mechanics and physics were also helping him study his abilities, and electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces, could do more than just manipulate metal.

Archimedes could use the simple lever theorem to lift the Earth, so couldn't Eric use modern physics to develop multiple ways to control electromagnetic forces?

"Eric, what are you looking at?"

On this day, when Li Yi was doing the experiment, he found that Eric was not reading a physics textbook as usual, but seemed to be reading a comic book.

Eric was startled and quickly hid the book behind him: "I...... What didn't I watch? ”

Shaking his head, Li Yi stepped out and got the comic book that Eric was using his ability to wrap in iron sheets.

"Captain America vs. Mustache?" Li Yi looked at the cover of the comic book with a smile, "Where did you get this book?" ”

Seeing that it was impossible to hide the past, Eric had to say his thoughts in a hurry: "I saw on the street, many children are buying, I looked at it twice and bought a copy, Captain America is a big hero, he helped us defeat the Nazis." ”

Later, Eric began to praise Steve vigorously: "Captain America and Uncle Howard saved us together. ”

It just so happened that Howard came here at this time, and Li Yi greeted him and said, "Hey! Howard, our little Eric adores Steve. ”

However, Howard's face was not very good, and the smile on Li Yi's face disappeared, and he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? ”

"Bucky fell under a cliff during his mission and couldn't find it, the chances of survival are low, and there is almost no ......"

"How's Steve doing now?" Li Yi knew that the departure of his good brother would definitely make Steve depressed.

"Steve didn't say a word when he brought back Dr. Zola Hydra, and it was clear that he blamed himself, and he felt that he had hurt Bucky." Howard sighed, on the one hand, he was also sorry for Bucky's disappearance, and on the other hand, he was also a little worried about Steve's current state.

"Then let's go see Steve, and take Eric, he admires Steve. And just to express his gratitude to Steve. ”

……

Coming out of the weapons lab provided by the army, the trio asked Phillips where Steve was. Phillips had just gotten the location of Hydra's final base from Zola, and after comparing it with the information the agents had gotten, he had finally determined the location of the real Hydra.

He also got the target of John Schmidt the Red Skull from Zola, who would bomb New York in a plane carrying a powerful bomb, turning the whole city into ruins. So he asked Howard and Lee to find Steve and bring him back for a meeting.

In the ruins of a tavern in the bombed-out New York City, Carter finds Steve.

He's drinking, hoping to get himself drunk so he doesn't keep blaming himself for hurting Bucky. Although in fact, Bucky fell off the cliff and couldn't blame him at all.

However, the super soldier serum brought him not only strength and agility beyond ordinary people, but also strong immunity, and it was impossible for him to get drunk now.

Carter was trying to persuade him, and beyond the ruins of the tavern, there were three other men standing.

Eric asked Lee, "Is that Captain America?" Why does he look sad now? ”

Li Yi said earnestly: "No one can never be sad, sad, or regretful. But where heroes transcend ordinary people is that they are able to continue to stick to their path after remorse, sadness, and sadness. Steve's best friend died on this mission......"

In the end, Eric didn't bother the two people in the tavern by seeing the idol.

After a few minutes, the two people inside actually kissed each other. Howard coughed, and the two hurriedly separated.

"Howard? Can I help you? "Steve tries to act as if nothing happened.

"Steve, Phillips got Schmidt's information from Zola, we are running out of time, the specific situation will be explained in a meeting later, we will come to you."

Steve nodded, "I see, let's go." He gave Carter an apologetic look.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, the meeting will not start in ten minutes. This is Eric, your little fan. Can you sign him or something? You know, you're a national idol now. Li Yi pushed out Eric, who was a little shy in front of his idol.

"No problem. Where do I sign up? ”

Eric hurriedly took out his copy of "Captain America vs. Mustache", handed it to Steve with both hands, and handed him a fountain pen by the way, which he took from the laboratory just now when Li Yi said that he was going to take him to see Captain America in reality, in order to sign it.

Steve swiped the title page of the comic with the words "Captain America, Steve Rogers" and handed the comic to Eric, an excited little fan.

"Let's go."

After returning to the barracks, Li Yi and Howard asked Eric to stay in the lab for the time being, after all, the meeting they were about to participate in was not a low secret, and it was not something that a small child could participate in.

"John Schmidt should have been thrown into a mental hospital, but he himself considered himself a god and was ready to blow up half the world, starting with America."

The meeting opened with this quote from Phillips.
