Chapter 74
Chapter 74
Regarding finding a job, Tony's bad ideas made Steve feel helpless.What plumbers, repairmen, air conditioners, after understanding Tony's subtext, Steve has completely ignored his opinions.For this reason, Tony said with a displeasure on his face.
"Obviously you asked our opinion, but now you don't listen to others!"
Watching Tony leave angrily, Steve could only shake his head helplessly.
Regarding the matter of finding a job, it has been put on hold for the time being.But Steve didn't have time to relax because he was called away by a call from S.H.I.E.L.D.
Regarding this phone call, Tony originally planned to hang up on Steve directly, but was blocked by Steve.That's what Steve said at the time.
"They must have come to me with something very important, otherwise they wouldn't have called me."
Facing Steve's persistent face, Tony cursed in a low voice, then handed the phone to Steve with two hecks.
"Trust them? Was your brain taken away by Peter Pan?"
Seeing Tony's sullen look, Steve could only console him, and then connected the call from S.H.I.E.L.D.This call did not disappoint him, and it can even be said that it brought Steve a big surprise.
S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't say anything else, and just told Steve the key points.
"Captain, do you remember Peggy Carter?"
Peggy? !
At that time, Steve almost crushed the phone, but Andrew yelled out immediately to wake up the absent-minded Steve.
Looking at the deformed mobile phone in his hand, Steve fell silent.
After learning what S.H.I.E.L.D. said, Tony just snorted coldly and said, "They really tried their best to win you over."
Steve hesitated, and finally looked at Tony and asked, "Should I go and see?"
Tony looked at Steve with a speechless expression, and finally said quietly: "What do you think? Captain America? You're almost writing miss on your face!"
"Is there?!" Steve was taken aback, touched his face, and then ran to the mirror to observe carefully.
"..."
Seeing Steve's stupid look, the corners of Tony's mouth twitched twice, he got up and walked out.
Steve thought for a long time, and finally went.
Steve imagined a lot of scenes where he and Peggy met, but when he arrived at the destination in the S.H.I.E.L.D. car, he still couldn't help being silent.
In his vision, he didn't imagine that he would meet Pepper in the hospital ward.
Steve hesitated outside the ward for a long time, but finally opened the door of the ward and stepped in.
It seems that after taking the first step, every next step becomes easier.After pushing open the door, Steve suddenly found that everything he said and did next seemed not as heavy as he had imagined.
Steve walked in step by step, and then looked at the person on the hospital bed.
This is also an advanced ward, the environment is very good, it does not seem to have the dead feeling of the ward.Sunlight comes in through the glass windows, dispelling the coldness in the room, and delicate flowers and green plants are placed on the table, adding a touch of life to the room.
The person lying on the hospital bed turned his head and looked out the window after hearing the sound of the door opening.When he saw Steve, there seemed to be a bright light in his cloudy eyes.
"There you are, Steve."
The voice is not very rough and old. Compared with the clear and tough voice back then, it seems to have become more mature.
"Yes, here I am."
Steve looked at the woman lying on the bed, her gray hair, wrinkles and age spots all over her face, still couldn't stop the capable and strong aura exuding from her seemingly weak body.
Steve recognized the woman at first sight.This is Peggy Carter, in that era, as a woman, she reached the top of the army.She is powerful and charming, smart and sexy.
Looking at the smile on the woman's old face, it was still that confident and charming smile, vaguely.The old woman in front of her vaguely merged with the image of the young and beautiful Peggy Carter Agent 13 in her mind.
Steve walked slowly to the bed, looking at Peggy with deep eyes, with a sorry look on his face.
"I'm sorry." Steve apologized sincerely to Peggy.
Pepper's face was startled, "Steve?"
Steve continued, "I owe you a dance."
Pepper suddenly smiled, then patted Steve's hand, "Yes, that's right, you owe me to keep dancing, Captain."
For a moment, the two were speechless, just looking at each other face to face.After a long time, the two suddenly smiled
"Hahaha"
The originally unfamiliar atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant.In its place is a lively and relaxed vibe.These two regretful people, former friends, are here this time, deeply talking about the things between them.The warm words seem to make up for the missing decades between them.
"Hahaha, Steve, we've won the war."
"I know, I'm really happy for everyone."
"The war is over, and everyone has got peace." Pepper seems to have returned to the past when he was young, full of energy and spirit at the moment.
Steve couldn't help showing nostalgic expression, he said with emotion: "Yeah, it seems that the world doesn't need war anymore. That's great."
Pepper's eyes changed. She looked at Steve and asked, "What about you? Now that the war is over, what are you going to do?"
"I..." Steve was stuck for a while, and he became incoherent at the moment, "I...I don't know either."
Steve looked at Peggy with hope, "I just woke up and don't know what to do. Peggy, do you have any good advice?"
Pepper looked at Steve, "Captain..."
The next second, Steve seemed a little shy. He scratched his head and said, "By the way, S.H.I.E.L.D. has also looked for me, and they hope that I can continue to be Captain America."
Peggy smiled easily, and then asked Steve calmly, "What did they tell you?"
Steve didn't hide anything, and told Peggy everything verbatim: "They said that the people need me. Moreover, the welfare of their agents should be quite good."
In the end, Steve subconsciously said something nice for S.H.I.E.L.D.
Peggy showed a disdainful expression, and she snorted coldly, "Furry is really..." Suddenly, she changed the subject, and her original cold expression changed.
"Steve, don't believe SHIELD's nonsense!"
Steve looked at Peggy with some confusion: "But aren't you an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Why..."
Paige: "It is because I used to work in SHIELD that I know the people in SHIELD better."
There was an unrecognizable coldness on Peggy's face. This woman who has lived for more than 90 years is not a soft persimmon after all.When she was young, she became an officer as a woman in World War II, which shows her means and strength.
"That group of people just don't want to let go of you, a super soldier, and your identity as Captain America and the meaning behind it."
Peggy's expression quickly became gentle again. She took Steve's hand and patted it, her eyes gentle and firm.
"Steve, don't care what those S.H.I.E.L.D. guys say. You just have to do what you want to do. You've done so much for the war, for the country, for the people. Now you're awake too Now, the war is over, please go and pursue your dreams!"
Paige's expression was gentle yet determined as she watched Steve, the man she once loved so dearly, decide what to do for the hero in the end.
Peggy is indeed Steve's good friend and favorite person, she knows Steve very well.Similarly, she can more or less guess what Steve is thinking and hesitating right now.
And this former female agent No. 13, the former commander of SHIELD, what did SHIELD not understand that SHIELD specially called Steve and asked him to come and see her. What is the purpose of this?She could see it, and she could guess it.But she's not going to do what S.H.I.E.L.D. wants.
She knew Steve, this gentle and kind man, must be hesitating.Well, let her, the old woman, help him one last time.
"Peggy." Steve looked at Peggy, still a little confused.
Paige smiled slightly. "Steve, don't worry. Your mission is done, and you're — free."
"I-free?" Steve's eyes gradually became firm from confusion.
Steve is not stupid, on the contrary he is really smart.Soon he understood Peggy's deep meaning, and he looked up at Peggy with gratitude in his eyes.
"Thank you, Peggy!"
After leaving the hospital where Peggy was, Steve quickly passed on his ideas to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"how so?!"
Fury's fingers trembled, watching the news from Steve, and finally slapped the table angrily, his face was dark and ugly.
"what happened?"
Natasha on the side was a little curious, what exactly did Captain America say?It would make Fury so angry.
"See for yourself." Fury passed the news directly to Natasha.
Coulson, who was on the side, also couldn't recognize it and moved over.
"I am very grateful to S.H.I.E.L.D. for valuing me so much, but the war is over, and Captain America should retire. I want to find the meaning of my life in this new era. Live an ordinary life and learn to paint Painting, to be admitted to an adult art school."
"By the way, remember to give me my VA card. Peggy told me all about it, and I'll get points for having it. —Steve."
After reading it, Natasha couldn't help laughing and said, "It's really unexpected, and it's expected."
Fury couldn't help but said: "What's going on with Agent Peggy? Let her persuade Captain America, not let her persuade Captain America to retire!"
Coulson, on the other hand, was completely blinded by the fan filter, "Wow - really worthy of being Captain America! He actually wants to learn to draw! He is so brave!"
"I want to follow in his footsteps too! Director, can I learn to draw?!" Coulson immediately looked at Fu Rui with staring eyes.
"What do you think?" Fury looked at Coulson coldly.
"Uh... I'm just talking, don't take it seriously..."
