Located in the northeastern corner of the United States, Maine covers an area of 86,000 square kilometers and had a population of about 1.2 million around 2000.

It is worth mentioning that in DC Comics, Aquaman, one of the representatives of the Justice League, Arthur Curry, was born in Maine.

There is a well-known bay in Maine, called Maine Bay, located in the northwest of the Atlantic Ocean, which is a semi-closed sea between the United States and Canada, with a good natural environment, and land runoff injection, rich fish resources.

Peggy Carter got off the plane and headed straight for an unnamed fishing ground near the Bay of Maine.

The fishing ground is beautiful, the sea breeze blows, and a small fully functional house stands on the edge of the edge, like a low-profile version of Tony's seaside mansion.

Once here, Peggy Carter asked the people around him to stay a short distance away and dialed a number.

All of them are -

The call rang a few times and then hung up.

A few more minutes later.

A Harley-Davidson approached from the edge of the house in the distance.

The driver is a gray-haired, spirited old man who makes a funny face when he meets Peggy Carter.

"Hey, beauty, do you want to go for a ride with me?"

"Of course."

Peggy Carter, who was originally in a heavy mood, instantly relaxed, nodded and smiled: "This is exactly what I want." ”

"Get in the car."

The old man then drove Peggy Carter around the coast and finally returned to his cabin.

"It's not the same as the last time I came."

Peggy Carter walked inside, looked around, and said helplessly, "You should at least watch the news." As a guy who has gone back from this era, you can't always assume that you know everything. ”

"It's always weird to see someone you know on TV."

The older version of Steve Rogers shrugged: "You know, it always makes me sad when I see Howard on TV holding Tony as a baby. ”

For him who has insight into the future, when he sees the current Tony Stark's high spirits, he can always think of the scene ten years later, when Tony resolutely snapped his fingers and died heroically.

It was as if it were a foregone conclusion.

The older version of Steve Rogers knew very well that in the current situation, if Tony didn't do that, the Avengers would be completely defeated, and all efforts would be in vain.

That's the only option.

The only way to crack it is to win.

Of course, after so many years, the elderly version of Steve Rogers has long accepted reality.

At the same time, he also developed the habit of not liking to watch the news and not wanting to pay attention to anything.

From the scarred and exhausted Captain America, to the current fisherman who only keeps Steve Rogers' name, after discarding his superhero identity, he lives again, living an ordinary life and being content.

"But what if the future of your mouth changes?"

In a calm tone, Peggy Carter stated, "Even so, you still don't want to pay attention to anything?" ”

"Change?"

The elderly version of Steve Rogers was stunned for a moment, showing surprise: "What do you mean?" ”

"Literally."

Peggy Carter said, telling the other party everything that has happened in the past two years.

"David Fisk?"

Captain America groaned, scavenging through his memories, stunned not to think of any information about the name.

"I'm sure I've never heard the name David Fisk."

He replied in the affirmative.

"Yes."

Then he frowned, and added: "You're right, the future has changed!" ”

"If David Fisk really colludes with the Hydra members led by Alexander Pearce, then with the energy he now controls, he will undoubtedly become a huge threat to us."

Steve Rogers is old, but he doesn't have a lot of brains.

Judging by Peggy Carter's description, David Fisk is a man without taboos.

He may not take the initiative to harm the world, and he doesn't mind digging a pit while benefiting himself, and then burying the world in it, and then stepping on it hard to stomp on the soil.

"We need to be more vigilant about him."

The older version of Steve Rogers pondered for a moment and said, "However, there are still some problems today...... You call hellboys, teenage mutant ninja turtles, occult investigation and defense, blade warriors, and even vampires...... None of this is the future I'm experiencing, and in the timeline I've been living through, there are no people around me. ”

"Just like David Fisk?" Peggy Carter understood exactly what her husband meant.

"Yes, just like David Fisk."

The elderly version of Steve Rogers nodded, and a trace of speculation was born in his heart: "Could it be a problem with the multiverse?" ”

Thanks to Doctor Strange Stephen Strange, the older version of Rogers is not ignorant of the wizarding world.

"If something goes wrong with the multiverse, then it can all be explained."

He suddenly asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the Occult Investigation Defense Bureau should have had a positive conversation with Kama Taj, right?" ”

"Yes."

Peggy Carter said, "Kama Taj has been connected to the Transcendental Investigative Defense Bureau for a long time. ”

"In this way, the Ancient One must have been aware of the chaos of the timeline for a long time, but did not react to it, and even promoted the occurrence of this phenomenon."

The elderly version of Rogers couldn't figure it out: "Why?" ”

The Ancient One possessed the Eye of Agamotto, who shared his insight into the future, and was a steadfast man who followed the fate of his fate.

But now the ancient one has changed his attitude, choosing to sit idly by, or even let the timeline go completely chaotic.

Why did the Ancient One have such a transformation?

Is there something going on that you don't realize?

The older version of Rogers regretted it a little.

You shouldn't have closed yourself off for so many years.

If you know about changes in the outside world, you can react early.

"It's come to this point, so wait...... Anyway, the hydra, led by Alexander Pierce, has always been under our noses and can't escape the palm of our hand. ”

The elderly version of Rogers thought for a long time and said to his wife: "Of course, we still have to keep an eye on Tony, no matter what, Tony can't be fine." ”

He still has great hopes for Tony, and he firmly believes that Tony is the key to saving the future and turning the tide.

"That's all there is to it."

Peggy Carter agrees that she will never question his decision after learning about the cruel future from his mouth.

"Also, let Nick go to Tony and invite him to S.H.I.E.L.D. in advance."

The older version of Steve Rogers added: "Now that the future has changed, we can't stick to the rules and find a way to turn the future back on its proper trajectory." ”

"The first step in setting things right starts with inviting Tony to join S.H.I.E.L.D."

This sentence brought Peggy Carter back to her senses, and her thoughts turned to understand why her husband was doing this.

"You're going to prop up Tony Stark against David Fisk?"

"Yes."

The older version of Steve Rogers nodded: "This will help Tony grow up quickly...... Tony used to grow up in a stress-free environment, and it wasn't until a few years later that he was kidnapped by Obadia Stanney, created the Iron Suit, escaped from the sky, and saw the malice of the world, and changed his mind......"

"It was the beginning of his change, but it is undeniable that he was forced."

"Now, inviting him to join S.H.I.E.L.D., what we want is for him to take the initiative to change himself."

"In my opinion, this is the only way to do it at the moment!"

……

New York, Manhattan, Fisker Pharmaceutical.

"Tony can't die. It is conceivable that the group led by Peggy Carter has high hopes for Tony Stark. If anything happens to Tony, it could lead to the outbursts of older versions of Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter. ”

In the chairman's office, the room is very quiet and undisturbed.

David pondered deeply: "My connection with Alexander Pierce will not escape their eyes. So, in their eyes, I've become almost equal to a Hydra collaborator and I'm starting to become untrustworthy......"

He provided an in-depth analysis of his current situation.

Although it is not clear what the S.H.I.E.L.D. forces, led by the elderly version of Steve Rogers, will do against them, it is conceivable that Tony Stark must be the reverse scale in their eyes.

Touch it and die.

Any action against Tony Stark that endangers his personal safety will be subject to a frantic counterattack by the S.H.I.E.L.D. group.

It's not that David is afraid of the elderly version of Steve Rogers and others.

It's just that he still has to disguise his true face at the moment, at least, he knows very well that doing things in the guise of justice and doing things in the guise of villains are completely two outcomes.

No matter what is good or bad, there must be a justification for it, and it will be smoother.

David has not yet become a super demon king, and he is shouting everywhere with his mouth wide open that he wants to "dominate the world".

He's not stupid.

If you offend the older version of Steve Rogers and further fight against the deep-rooted S.H.I.E.L.D., the results will become uncontrollable.

In case it really broke his brain, Nick Fury's brain was hot, and he pressed the interstellar communicator to summon Captain Marvel, who had not been gone for a few years, back, with David's current combat level, it is estimated that it is still slightly inferior.

As a result, Davy's vision of annexing, or bringing down Stark Industries, to further expand his own power in the face of the observations of the elderly Steve Rogers and others hidden behind the scenes, encountered insurmountable obstacles.

Now is not the time to take action against Stark Industries.

At most, it is mainly suppressed.

Or, in some way, reverse his image in the eyes of the elderly version of Steve Rogers and others.

There is no way to achieve this.

For example: Sold Alexander Pearce.

The elderly version of Steve Rogers would certainly not have thought that he knew more about the world than he did, or even more than the ancient one.

Betraying the information of Alexander Pierce and others, exposing the Hydra hidden inside S.H.I.E.L.D., will gain their great trust.

"Sold Alexander Pearce?"

David Fisk touched his chin and felt that it was not impossible.

Alexander Pierce is the leader of Hydra and is not a good guy.

But he is a good person, or a superhero, David Fisk, who changed the public's perception of Batman.

Now who doesn't know that Batman is no longer called Bruce Wayne, but has been replaced by David Fisk.

"I'm a superhero, isn't it my duty to destroy the forces of evil?!"

The clouds on David's face lifted.

In this way, he can not only gain some trust from the elderly version of Steve Rogers and others, but also let most of the territory vacated after the elimination of Hydra be controlled by his own brother, Wilson Fisk, nicknamed "Jin Ji".

Kill two birds with one stone.

Who makes Hydra a useless soft persimmon compared to the elderly version of Steve Rogers and others?

……

Stark Industries.

Tony Stark, who is plotting how to take back control of the company from Obadia Stanley, receives a strange phone call.

The other party claimed to be an old friend of his father, and he came to see Tony today to give Tony some scientific research materials that his father had left behind.

At the same time, also to talk to him about something.

A coffee shop not far from the company building.

"I don't know, my father has friends like you?"

Toni rarely did not release pigeons.

He looked at the black man wearing an eye patch in front of him, and felt that there were too many elements in the other party, black people, bald heads, one-eyed dragons, and windbreakers, and he knew at a glance that it was not a good stubble.

Not to mention, several men in straight suits, bulging waists, and obviously wearing weapons standing at the door.

"I'm not your father's friend, to be exact, but my boss is."

Nick Fury looked at the young and vigorous Tony Stark in front of him, and didn't understand why Peggy Carter had to let the other party join S.H.I.E.L.D., but considering that Tony was the inventor of the mark-shaped suit, he felt that the other party did have the qualifications to join S.H.I.E.L.D.

He paused and said, "My boss's name is Peggy Carter, and you must have heard her name. ”

"My father's former comrade-in-arms, yes."

Tony recalls: "When I was very young, I did hear the name from him once in a while. If I'm not mistaken, this Ms. Peggy Carter is also the first love of Captain America Steve Rogers. ”

"That's true."

Nick Fury nodded and pointed to the cardboard box beside him, "This is the scientific research materials that your father once left with us, and now it's all yours." ”

"Presumably, you specially invited me out, not because of this pile of old information." Tony clasped his hands on his chest, glanced at the information, sat motionless in his chair, and said bluntly.

"You're smart."

Nick Fury nodded and said, "We've learned you've been having some problems lately. It's a simple transaction, join us and we'll take care of these challenges for you. ”

"You guys?"

Tony frowned: "Excuse me, who are you?" ”

"The Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau can also call us 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'"

Nick Fury said, "The most important thing you want to know is not our name...... Yes, your father served in our department, and he was one of the three founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. Although he has never served as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., his position in S.H.I.E.L.D. is more important than that of the director. ”
