Chapter 221; He still owes me a dance
This is a quiet villa in the suburbs of New York. There is no noise or dirty air here. There is only bright sunshine and well-organized flowers and plants being taken care of. Butterflies are flying among the flowers, enjoying pollen and morning dew.
At this time, an old woman was lying on the bed in the room. Time depicted wrinkles on her face, taking away her beauty and youth, and eroding her qi, blood and sharpness.
It is already difficult for anyone to associate the heroine of World War II with the twilight old woman in front of him, and it is also difficult for anyone to imagine that this woman, who was difficult to even sit up from the bed, once had the terrible influence that several presidents bowed their heads to. In any case, the glory and glory of the past have nothing to do with her, because she is about to die.
After taking her eyes out, the old woman's eyes gradually closed, she seemed to be asleep, or was recalling something. People like to recall when they get old, but if a normal person experiences such a magnificent life, then even memories will be full and full.
But for her, those so-called brilliant experiences are just the past. These are not what she wants at all, and in fact they do not belong to her own. These are the experiences she survived on behalf of that person. In her mind, the memories that truly belong to her will always be the promise that day, the brave and shy tall man made to her.
Kaji~!
The sound of opening the door came at this time, interrupting her memories.
"Sharon, I feel good today, so don't let me take that medicine." The old woman said without looking back.
"Ms. Carter, IMHO, you should seriously consider the medicine I brought today." A strange man's voice came at this moment.
The old woman in the evening opened her eyes at this time and saw a one-eyed black man sitting in front of her.
"You are this director of SHIELD, Nick Fury, why are you looking for me as a retired old lady?"
"Ms. Carter, I'm here to find you because we need your strength. The current situation can only be solved by you." Fury put the small box in his hand on his knees and began to explain the current situation with a serious look on his face.
"So that's it. It turns out that S.H.I.I had strongly opposed the plan to recycle the paperclips of Nazi scientists, but Howard Stark still insisted on doing it alone." Carter said and sighed deeply.
"Of course it's not the time to blame him. Then he must have noticed something after that, so he was assassinated. In the end, the bitter fruit was eaten by me, my old friend."
"Ms., it's not a time to shirk responsibility from each other and remember old friends. What we need to do is how to solve this problem," Fury reminded.
"I know this." Kat nodded. "You are doing very well. Hydra is an organization with strict levels. The orders of superiors are often absolute for subordinates. As long as you control the largest head, although SHIELD will still be severely damaged, at least it will not be allowed to be merciless at Hydra."
"But we want more than that, Ms. Carter. How chaotic the world is now, even if you are lying in bed, you should have heard of it. We need a powerful organization to protect this fragile world, and this organization is SHIELD." Fury said with a serious face.
"Ms. Carter, this world is exchanged for you and your former comrades-in-arms with blood and life. It is precisely in order to protect this achievement that you and Mr. Howard and others jointly founded S.H.E.I.E.I.E.I.E.L.D. It can be said that S.H.E.L.D. is inseparable from your hard work all your life. Can you tolerate it being destroyed like this?"
"Of course I don't want to see these, but..." Carter shook his head, with a bitter expression on his face. "But I'm old. What I'm not in front of you is Carter, the heroine who once led the Roaring Commando to break through Hydra's last nest, but an old woman who is old and doesn't even have the strength to stand up from the bed. I don't have the strength to fight Hydra."
When Fury heard Carter's words, he was not depressed, but smiled and opened the box on his knees. "Ms., as far as I know, the word aging has always been relatively speaking. In ancient times, even in the East, people there had already called themselves old men at the age of thirty, but now, at the age of forty, are still in their prime. Therefore, the word aging can be adjusted relative to human lifespan."
After Fury finished speaking, he took out a piece of golden crystal from the box and handed it to Carter.
"This is the x crystal. I think you should have heard people say that it can make people awaken superpowers, but this is just one of its functions. As we all know, the comprehensive physical quality of superpowers is far greater than that of ordinary people. Normally, the average life expectancy of superpowers is about 30 to 50 years higher than that of ordinary people. And if this thing is added, the number can still rise." Fury said and found a small test tube from the box.
"This is the blood of Apocalypse. You can think of it as a tonic for the psychic. As long as you drink it, your life span will exceed the 150-year-old mark. By then, you can still be considered as a prime minister."
Hearing this, although Carter showed a hint of surprise on his face, he did not show an ecstasy expression like an ordinary old man. Perhaps some people will be very afraid of death after they are old and try their best to live longer, but Carter is not. She has lived enough and is tired of living.
In fact, the real Peggy Carter fell into an iceberg with Captain America 70 years ago and was frozen together. After that, Carter just replaced Captain America. The things she did should be what Captain America should do after returning from victory. Peggy Carter is a person who has been living in the past.
She looked at the x crystal. After a moment of silence, she suddenly opened the drawer beside the bed and found a piece of the same golden crystal from it.
"This was given to me by my niece Sharon, and before that, she said the same thing to you." Carter stared at the x crystal, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The whole room became quiet at this time. After a long time, Carter raised his head and spoke slowly; "Steve, how are he doing?"
"He is very good. Now he is definitely the same as when you once knew him. He is a determined warrior fighting for his faith." Fury replied.
Carter just nodded, then fell into deep thought again. "It was Steve who saved the world, and we... we have made it like this bad now. All this shouldn't be like this. He has died once in the battle with Hydra for his own beliefs, and now the mess we have created should not be allowed to bear it again. He should have a new beginning."
Carter said, his expression becoming firm. He held the x crystal in his hand tightly. Carter raised his hand and threw the x crystal to the ground with all his strength.
"Bang~!" The x crystal that fell to the ground shattered in response to the sound, turning into a golden smoke, and rushed into Carter's body with the airflow.
The next moment, Carter let out a muffled groan, and she saw her grasping the bed sheet with a little pain on her face. Carter's supernatural awakening seemed very intense, and she saw that her old and thin body began to become strong at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The age spots on his body quickly disappeared at this time, and Carter's skin began to regain its elasticity and luster as if it was reborn. What was most shocking was that Carter's white hair also turned brown and yellow again. The wrinkles that disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye and the straightened peaks all showed that Carter's supernatural powers seemed to be somewhat different from what he expected.
"What's going on?" Carter looked at his changing body and said in disbelief.
"I don't know what's going on?" Looking at Carter, who looked younger than me and seemed to be about twenty-five years old, Fury was also confused at once. "It seems that I remember Lu Yifang told me that the awakening of superpowers is related to the filling of his physical and psychological defects. If you have any strong obsession, you may......"
"There is only one obsession and regret in the past seventy years." Carter, who has recovered from the young, interrupted Fury's words, and she seemed to have become a quick-thinking and heroic World War II heroine. "That's Steve, he still owe me a dance~!"
·······
While Fury and his group were dealing with the Hydra undercover in S.H.E.L.D., some people on the other side were working on their own plans.
In a dark underground corridor, after a light yellow light flashed, two figures suddenly appeared, of course, to be more precise, one and a half. There was a man who only had a naked upper body, but he was not dead. Instead, under a strange force, his body was still growing and healing.
On the contrary, some intact person was vomiting blood at this time, and even fragments of internal organs were hidden in the blood. His internal organs had been seriously damaged. If it weren't for his partner who blocked most of the attacks for him, and the physical fitness of the psychics was really strong, then he wouldn't have been able to hold on to the base at all. The attack of the level five psychics was really terrible.
While this man vomited blood, a group of people suddenly came over, but the man in charge did not look at the man, but walked straight to the man with only upper body.
"Welcome to you here, Mr. Killian, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
