Chapter 20: Steve Rogers
Captain America, Steve Rogers, born on July 4, 1918 in Brooklyn, New York, USA, was originally a thin young man, after being transformed by the U.S. government, he became a "super soldier" with far more physical fitness than ordinary people, and was also given a vibranium shield made by Howard Stark by the U.S. government, and led the invaders in World War II to make great achievements.
Later, in a battle at the end of World War II, he fought a duel with his old enemy, "Red Skull" John Schmidt, and fell into the sea and was frozen in ice for nearly 70 years.
……
"Captain, let's go, you're on a mission to save America, let's stop him!" One of the Raiders stood in front of Steve with a submachine gun in hand, blocked all the bullets for him, and pulled the latch of the grenade before dying, showing a big smile at Steve.
"No, no, Smith...... Verda ...... "The faces of countless team members and innocent civilians and their corpses came to Steve's mind, and his thoughts became more and more erratic and intense, "I have avenged you...... Carter, I'm sorry, I still couldn't dance with you after all, I'm so guilty......"
"No!"
A soul-like shout rang through Steve's mind, and he snapped open his eyes and sat up.
The intense white light stimulated his eyes, and the familiar air returned to his lungs, making him feel reborn, and after waiting for tens of seconds, he could see everything around him completely.
It's a pure white room, some incomprehensible blue virtual screens appear everywhere, and the extremely sci-fi and mysterious scenes make him think that he has come to heaven.
"Hello, Mr. Steve Rogers." A gentle female voice came from the side.
He turned his head and saw a tall woman, with white skin and delicate features, as well as explosive ...... Ahem, he was shocked, and at the same time looked away a little embarrassed, but he didn't know where to put it.
Seeing this scene, Hancock was a little amused, and slowly stepped forward, waving a screen, "Can you talk to the concubine?" It's the concubine who is taking care of you these days~" The slightly flirtatious tone made Steve blush a little, and his guard gradually relaxed.
"Uh, hello, you can call me Steve, excuse me, what time is it? Where is this? Who are you? ”
Fatal three questions, Hancock smiled and replied, "Boya Hancock, you can call the concubine Hancock, you are now in the SCF's base medical chamber." ”
“…… SCF, what is it? ......" Without waiting for Steve to finish asking all the questions, Hancock replied: "It's 2004, World War II is over in 1945, the United States has won the war against the Fascists, and Japan has surrendered unconditionally." We won, Captain. ”
Steve was silent, one drop, two drops, three drops, tears dripping onto the snow-white sheets.
Smith...... Wilda ...... We won, do you hear that? Whimpering and saying a few words, Steve tried his best to suppress his emotions, "How did I get to this point?" ”
"You were frozen in Antarctica, and we sent people to discover a huge bomber during the Antarctic expedition, and then found you in the cockpit, and then brought back to thaw."
……
"Really...... Can I get out of bed now? After watching the video of the introduction to the SCF on the virtual screen handed over by Hancock, Steve had a preliminary understanding of the organization.
In his first impression, the organization was advanced and maintained the security of the country.
"It just so happens that the director has instructed that you can go to him after you wake up and visit the base, he has something to tell you."
“…… Okay, I want to thank him in person. ”
Afterwards, Hancock walked around the base with the captain, recovering his body and looking at modern technology.
Steve was amazed by the myriad of high-end gadgets and at the same time felt at a loss as to how to fit into modern life.
For the first time, he felt as if he was too old.
However, Hancock acted as a good tour guide and comforted Steve, "In this world, since everyone is alive, they have their own place, and the concubine believes that you have great potential~"
Looking at Han Cook, who was taller than him, Steve was a little dazed and a little enlightened.
"Well, this is the SCF base, and a lot of our areas are still under construction, but they're going to be completed soon."
"Yes, it's incredible, I didn't even know there were so many artifacts, it's really eye-opening." Steve sighed from the bottom of his heart that as a soldier, he was proud and proud that his country had such advanced technology.
Hancock transports him to a white space, where many black glass panes rise up to form a 3D virtual environment.
"Here is the showcase, you can take a look at the current United States, the concubine went to inform the director first, take a good look~"
"Good...... Good. Steve swallowed, looking at the increasingly realistic cities and streets around him.
A documentary begins to play, all in order to make him more quickly accept reality and integrate into the modern age.
As the narrator calmly explains, Steve gradually becomes engrossed, and looking at the various pictures of the United States, the uneasiness in his heart gradually eases.
At the end of the video, the surrounding glass panels form a picture of the Alps.
Steve fell into recollection, and Jiang Yuan didn't bother him, standing quietly beside him.
When he came back to his senses, Jiang Yuan slowly spoke, and said in a calm voice: "Time has passed, things are people, and it is normal for people to be confused when they first come to this era. ”
Steve turned his head suddenly, only to see Jiang Yuan, dressed in a yellow striped suit, with a justice coat draped over his shoulders, and his hands in his pockets, standing behind him in a dashing manner.
"You...... You are? Steve subconsciously took a step back, after all, Jiang Yuan's oppressive power was too high, even if he didn't use the overlord color domineering, it could make ordinary people feel a sense of crisis - let alone the American team.
"The old man is Polusalino, the director of the SCF, you can call the old man's code name - Yellow Ape."
"Mr. Polusalino, thank you, if it weren't for you, I ......"
"The old man knows your current state of mind," Jiang Yuan interrupted Steve's thanks, "confused, helpless, and feeling so alien to this world—right?" His teammates, bosses, and lovers are not around, maybe they are no longer around. This is what the old man can see from your face. ”
"The old man knows that you can't even imagine now, one second you are still fighting the enemy, and the next second you will appear in a peaceful future. You don't have a goal now. ”
"Is this just a dream? Unfortunately, this is not. You have just woken up now, and you may have a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask, but the old man will ask you one thing: Are you still the selfless, fearless, and daring Steve Rogers, the great American hero, Captain America?! ”
The gradually stirring tone stimulated Steve, who puffed out his chest and said loudly: "No matter what era, as long as I am alive, no disaster will befall any ordinary people, it was so more than sixty years ago, and it is still so!" ”
"I still have to protect the United States!"
"Very well, Mr. Steve- Mr. Bucky, do you agree with what he says?"
"Bucky?" Before Steve could react, a winter soldier Bucky in a black suit and a black tie came out behind Jiang Yuan.
He straightened his tie with his metal arm—and after the SCF returned to normal, Hancock gave him a new one, and now he was stronger and more righteous—and stepped forward and said:
"Welcome to a new era, my old comrade-in-arms."
"Ba ...... Bucky! Steve was stunned and immediately stepped forward to hug Bucky, and the two big men hugged each other, both with tears in their eyes.
"Thank goodness you're still alive......"
"The two of you can sit and catch up, the old man will go for a small meeting first, and come back soon~" After speaking, Jiang Yuan flashed and left the venue to this pair of friends.
Sitting on the gray couch, Bucky told Steve a lot, comforting him, and telling him about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s cleanup of Hydra and his recovery of memories after being rescued by the SCF, "Until now, the SCF has been secretly cleaning up the remnants of Hydra all over the world, constantly purging these damn rats." ”
After chatting with Bucky for a long time, Steve no longer had the confusion he had when he first woke up, and his eyes were firm and powerful.
Because Jiang Yuan had long expected that Steve would be in difficulty in finding employment, he asked Bucky to invite him to secretly join SCF to resist the aliens that would appear in the future!
With Bucky's lobbying and virtual imaging facts proving it, Steve quickly accepted that the Earth was still in crisis, and vowed that whatever it was, if it threatened the people, he would clear it!
(Bucky is already completely from the SCF)
After receiving the success signal from Bucky, Jiang Yuan teleported from the kitchen to the two of them.
"Looks like you've found your purpose."
"Yes, Mr. Director, I want to join the SCF and fight against all the crises that will arise in the future!"
"You've thought about it, this is a secret organization, and once you join, even S.H.I.E.L.D. can't tell you."
"Of course I figured it out, the SCF is a powerful organization, and the United States also needs a righteous secret organization to exist."
"Okay, then according to organizational tradition, your code name is ......"
"Forget it, let's call the captain!"
"Thank you, Director......"
Jiang Yuan asked Hancock to get an identification, and then handed Steve a note.
"You still owe her a dance, this is her address, Ms. Carter has been waiting for you~"
Steve looked at Jiang Yuan gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Director!" ”
"If it's okay, you can go and see her, the plane is ready - don't reveal your identity just yet, the old man means to anyone but Ms. Carter, understand? Also, remember to come back, this time you need to get acquainted with everything modern times. ”
"Okay, Director." Steve already believed in Jiang Yuan very much, and immediately packed some things and got on the flying machine and rushed to Carter's house.
That dance, more than 60 years later, finally made up.
