Chapter 35: The First Mission
The next day, after saying goodbye to Audrey and the others, Alex, Steve, and Bucky board a warship bound for London, accompanied by Carter and Howard.
After a long voyage, the warship finally sailed into the port of London, feeling the humidity in the air, Alex couldn't help but complain: "I hate the climate in London, it feels like being soaked in water." ”
Colonel Phillips walked past Alex and said with a blank face: "Don't worry, you won't be in London for long!" ”
"Why doesn't he always give us a good look?" Looking at Phillips, who was gradually disembarking, Bucky asked with some confusion.
"Whatever!" Alex didn't pay attention to Phillips and turned his head to look at Carter, "Agent Carter, I need to find someone, Phillips, you can help me deal with it first, I'll have a chance to come back soon!" ”
After that, before Carter could get his head, Alex couldn't wait to run off the boat, and soon disappeared into the crowd at the dock.
Following the address left by Eisenhart, Alex searched and asked, and finally found his destination in a narrow street, a low, gray apartment.
“04。” Looking down at the note in his hand, Alex pushed open the almost moldy wooden door of the apartment, followed the stairs to the second floor, and saw "04" at the end of the stairway.
knocked on the door, and soon a middle-aged woman opened the door, opened her misty eyes, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of him, Alex was a little strange: "Is this Eisenhart's house?" ”
When they returned to London, everyone was dispersed by the British government and arranged to go around the UK, and by the time Alex wanted to find the Eisenhardt father and son, they had lost their traces, and the address on the note was still found by Alex Stowe Howard from the British ** party.
"You're looking for the wrong person!" The middle-aged woman was a little angry and was about to close the door.
Alex was quick and stretched out his foot against the door: "I'm sorry, my friend told me that he lives here." ”
"Eisenhart, that demon has long since moved away!" The middle-aged woman stomped on Alex's foot fiercely, causing Alex to shrink his foot in pain.
But as soon as Alex shrank his feet, the middle-aged woman closed the door with lightning speed. No matter how Alex knocks on the door, the middle-aged woman just won't open the door.
"Demons? Did Marx do something? Full of doubt and helplessness, Alex could only leave, thinking with some concern in his heart, "I hope nothing happens to them." ”
Upon returning to the station, Alex was a little sullen. Originally, he also wanted to find Marx and copy his ability, so that it would be easier to do anything in the future. It's a pity that now Marx doesn't know where he went, and it seems that he can only rely on his own body in the future.
Seeing Alex coming back, Steve and Bucky immediately rushed over, with a look of excitement on their faces, "Mr. Stark is going to prepare uniforms for us, which I (Steve) designed, how about you take a look?" ”
Alex put aside the depression in his heart, took a piece of paper from Steve's hand, looked down, and said with a smile: "Yes, I think it's good, just do it according to Steve's design!" ”
Steve's uniform is similar to the one in the movie, with the same hood for the head of the plane, the Stars and Stripes suit, and if you add the iconic shield, Captain America appears.
"American brothers, the first mission is coming!" Just as he was, Carter walked over with a faint smile on his delicate face.
"Just came here and had a mission? It can't be Phillips who is trying to make things difficult for us, right? Alex didn't expect them to have a mission on their first day in London.
Carter squinted at Alex and asked menacingly, "Don't you want to take on the mission?" ”
"Of course not, I can't ask for a task!" Alex pushed Steve forward and said, "Captain, it's your turn!" ”
Unsurprisingly, there was a spark between Steve and Carter. It's just that Steve is really not good at chatting with women, and Alex can only often create opportunities for them to talk in order to exercise Steve.
Steve was slightly embarrassed, quickly returned to normal, looked at Carter and asked seriously, "Carter, what is the mission?" ”
"Schmidt sent a force of two hundred soldiers to meet the battle, less than fifty returned, and the rest were either killed or captured." Carter turned his head to look at Alex and Bucky, and said in a deep voice, "They are all members of the 107th Infantry Regiment, and among them are your former comrades. ”
"The mission is to get them out, isn't it?" Alex's face was straight, and he said solemnly, "Okay, Schmidt, 107th Infantry Regiment, we have no reason not to go." ”
"I must tell you that these people were meant to be abandoned, and no one wanted to save them." Carter looked down at the pile of materials he was holding in his arms, and said in a low voice, "They are thirty miles behind the enemy's line, and if you want to save them, you must pass through the most heavily guarded areas in Europe, so this mission is very dangerous." ”
Alex frowned when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "The equipment that Howard prepared for us shouldn't be ready yet, right?" ”
"Yes!" Carter headed.
Alex shrugged, smiled and turned to look at Steve and Bucky, and said loudly, "Then let's get them back with our bare hands!" ”
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Alex and his party set off, and Howard flew in a plane with three men towards Austria, where there was a base for Hydra, where the 107th Infantry Regiment was held.
In the plane, Alex and the three of them wore makeshift uniforms, leaning into the cabin to listen to Carter's plan of action: "The base of Hydra is in Fort Claus, between two mountains, like a factory, and we will deliver you to the door." ”
"Get as close to the target as possible!" Howard turned his head and reminded him.
"You'd better return as soon as possible, Hydra's air force is not a vegetarian." Alex remembers that their plane was attacked by the Air Force in the movie, and Alex advises them to leave as soon as possible, just in case.
Alex walked to the hatch first, looked down, and it was pitch black: "Go back, we're leaving!" With that, Alex jumped out of the hatch, and Steve and Bucky looked at each other and jumped off without hesitation.
"They're all crazy?" Looking at the three of them who had completely disappeared into the night, Carter turned his head to look at Howard with a look of disbelief.
Howard chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Alex is not an ordinary person, they will be fine." ”
"Alex, what's your plan?" Flying in mid-air, the wind brought by the rapid landing continued to pour into his mouth, so that Steve couldn't even speak well, and he had to pause for a moment.
"Let's go down first!" Alex uses teleportation to grab Steve and Bucky, who fall to the ground in an instant.
"Alex, how did you do that?" Alex's teleportation was not hyped up, and only a few of the Allies knew about it, let alone the common people.
Since they are going to fight together in the future, Alex decides not to hide it from his brother anymore: "I am a mutant and have special abilities, this is my ability." "Teleportation is an ability, and Alex has no way to explain it, so it can only be attributed to the mutant ability.
"Mutants?" Obviously, few people know about the existence of mutants these days, and Steve and Bucky are even more confused when they hear it.
Alex patted the two of them on the shoulder and said with a smile, "No matter who I am, we are always brothers, just remember this." ”
"Yes, we are brothers, brothers of the United States!"
