Chapter 106: Mr. Director (12/10 Please order first!) )
Mr. Steve, who "consumed energy all day", apparently didn't really get his wish.
Because unlike these two monsters, Old Man Carter Sray and Advisor Ma still have to eat.
So the old man rudely interrupted the fight between the two with his old buddy's big shovel - his recipe for today was Texas specialty stewed pork chops.
It's already November in New York, and the weather is starting to get cooler, but today is a particularly sunny day.
In the president's office at the headquarters of the Benevolence Society, Oakes and Steve sat opposite each other.
That's right, after a friendly training, there are some things that need to be explained today.
"There's a powerful doctor in the company next door, but he still needs to be transformed...... It's a little different from me. ”
Oakes took his coffee, looked at Steve, who had a calm face, and shrugged:
"I don't care much about it, but I obviously don't care that what you think is worth caring about, right?"
"Hmm...... How can I say that," Steve pinched his thick chin and nodded subconsciously when he heard this:
"Your non-profit organization is really not simple, the president with several special abilities, the doctor who can be transformed, the blind but the sensory acuity is simply incredible legal counsel......
He smiled bitterly and spread his hands:
"So it's actually not a big deal, is it?
I seem to be just a normal person among you. ”
"That makes sense."
Oakes laughed, Mr. Captain obviously didn't want to reveal his identity yet, so let's accompany him to act:
"But I'm a person who values character more when making friends, and it seems that you are the same person.
Let's talk about it, so I don't care if you have any special abilities-
Even if this ability can cause any trouble, I have experience in dealing with it, don't I? ”
"Uh...... Well, that's true. ”
Steve moved his ass a little awkwardly:
"Speaking of which, I ...... I was seriously ill before, and after waking up, I seemed to have missed a lot of things, and I felt strange to the world, and it felt quite kind to be able to see people with special abilities.
But I think I've heard ......"
Steve hesitated, a black bald head appeared in his mind, and he was still determined to ask:
"What's that...... S.H.I.E.L.D.? Do you have a relationship with them? ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D.? There was some collaboration a while ago, and I used to be their environmental advisor, and the Rende Association was affiliated with them. ”
Oakes saw Steve's serious eyes and nodded:
"But now we don't have anything to do with S.H.I.E.L.D., because of some ...... It's ridiculous, our collaboration is over.
But I accepted their invitation to join an independent emergency preparedness team to deal with special matters that ordinary armies can't handle. ”
"Is the world still dangerous?"
Steve nodded slightly, Oakes's honesty greatly increased his favorability, and the relationship between the Rende Society and S.H.I.E.L.D. was discovered during the few days he lived here.
The world of singing and dancing did not make the veteran lose his vigilance, on the contrary, he was always full of the instinct of vigilance in an unfamiliar environment.
This instinct continued to work even though it had waned during the time spent with Oakes.
After all, he was cut off from the world in front of him.
"There are a lot of ...... Criminals with superpowers, various ambitious organizations, aliens, and even ......"
Oaks' eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice:
"Steve, more detailed things, sorry it's not appropriate to tell you right now.
But unlike what you see, although the current world is not bad on the surface, there will inevitably be shadows where there is light, and death cannot be avoided while life is thriving-
Under this glamorous appearance, there is a crisis that ordinary people can't see.
To put it more broadly, although there is no third world war, local wars have never stopped, and the ultimate weapons stockpiled by various countries can destroy the entire world dozens of times.
To put it mildly......"
Oakes spread his hands helplessly:
"Just like me, a non-profit organization that is committed to improving the living environment of human beings, defending nature, and restoring nature, there will be many people who put ideas on my head.
So sometimes, I also had to fight back a little bit - by the way, most people don't know about the transformation. ”
“…… I understand. ”
Steve was silent for a moment, and the amount of information Oakes gave was a little too much for a while.
But he still easily heard Oakes' words—
The world is perhaps more dangerous now than it was 70 years ago.
And the other party must know some information that is crucial to him.
But now, he couldn't ask what it was.
The first thing he needs to do is to determine his position.
Oakes looked at the silent face of the American team and raised an eyebrow:
"It's incredible, isn't it? Aliens or something...... But I really did. ”
"Of course, this is not within the reach of the general public."
Steve let out a long breath and turned to a warm smile:
"But I believe that no matter what era it is, as long as the people are threatened, there will always be heroes who will step up-
Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense about things that shouldn't be said. ”
"Hero...... It's really a prize, are you interested in coming to our Rende Club? ”
Oakes leaned forward and spoke to Steve's wide-eyed eyes:
"You're a veteran? Disconnected from society for a long time? We also have such veterans in the Rende Association, and you are not the only one who has this kind of confusion, I believe that it only takes a little time for you to adjust.
During this time, you may need to understand and correct your place in society as much as possible, and this will inevitably lead to contact with various social people.
And let's be honest, what better way to do that than a nonprofit organization?
As you can see, there are people of all colors and races, and in addition to our backbone, there is also a collaborative team of different people from all walks of life.
They come from different backgrounds because they come together with a common goal and serve a wide variety of people in society. ”
He smiled and held out his hand to Steve:
"It's a place where you can learn more about all aspects of society – and maybe surprises."
“……”
Steve opened his mouth, and although it always felt a little weird, he had to admit that the other man had a point.
After living here for a while, he has basically figured out the situation here-
As a non-profit organization, although the history of the Society is only a few years, the story of its establishment to the present has allowed Steve to see the biggest and most comfortable beauty since he woke up.
And he loves the little rainforest and the stray animals it adopts.
Real superheroes love animals.
"That'...... What is my job title? Fitness trainer? ”
Steve reached out and shook Oakes' hand with a smile:
"If you want to improve the physical fitness of your members, I can teach them the training methods of the army."
"Safety Supervisor – of course, fitness instructors can also work part-time."
