Chapter 50 Lovers Separated by Many Years
At SHIELD, Director Fury immediately felt an inexplicable panic when he learned that Norse mythology was not a myth, especially when a living god appeared in front of him.
After all, the only information can prove that Thor alone can easily destroy a country, not to mention that there is a god king Odin above him, and a large number of Asgard soldiers.
And in the known information, Asgard's technology is far more powerful than theirs, so once Asgard invades the earth, the chance of the earth winning is zero. This sense of crisis forced him to start studying countermeasures.
Director Fury is worthy of being the king of agents, and he quickly thought of a way.
Since their existing technology cannot compete with Asgard, he will use some products that are not from the earth to develop a powerful weapon. The power of this weapon must be so great that it can easily destroy a planet or a galaxy, which is equivalent to the nuclear threat on the earth. With this weapon, not to mention colonizing alien planets, at least self-protection is no problem.
However, Director Fury was in a dilemma as to where to start. At this time, Coulson came over to report Captain America's situation.
When Director Fury heard the word Captain America, he suddenly had an idea and remembered that the laser weapons that had caused their allies a lot of trouble in World War II were developed using a mysterious object called the Cosmic Cube.
With the technology of the World War II period, they could develop laser weapons that were decades ahead of Earth. With their current technology, wouldn't it be possible to develop a powerful weapon from it?
Thinking of this, Director Fury immediately ordered his men to start secretly studying the Cosmic Cube. At the same time, Fury found Dr. Eric Shavig, who knew a lot about cosmic magic and knew the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although Dr. Eric Shavig was very reluctant, studying the Cosmic Cube was also one of his wishes, so he could only say goodbye to Jane and Daisy and enter one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret bases to start studying the Cosmic Cube.
However, Director Fury still felt that it was not appropriate. In order to do everything possible to enhance the strength of the earth, he had to start a plan, a plan called the Avengers.
Director Fury sat in his office, holding a folder called "Avengers List" in his hand. There were several names in it, but he crossed them out. Only one was left, that is, Captain America Steve Rogers. He rose in World War II, injected with super soldier serum, and his character was beyond words, so when he started this plan, Steve Rogers was the first member.
And below him was Li Qingyue, but his name was crossed out. It seems that Director Fury also knew that wanting Li Qingyue to join his plan was undoubtedly wishful thinking, so he crossed out his name.
Next is Tony, but because Tony's personality has changed now, but he still looks lazy, so Director Fury temporarily put him on hold. If he really wants him to join, he must go through some tests.
Next came Hawkeye Clint Barton, Black Widow Natasha and Agent Coulson. However, he thought for a long time and finally crossed out Coulson's name. After all, Coulson is best at diplomacy and is not suitable for fighting.
There are a few unfamiliar ones behind, such as Frank Custer, Banner Bruce, Daniel Thomas Land-Key, Luke Cage, etc.
The names of these people were also crossed out because they were either too young to take on the big responsibility for the time being, or unstable. For example, Banner Bruce's ability was extremely unstable, and he might even hurt his own people if he was not careful.
Of course, there is also a killer among them, that is Frank Custer, who is the famous Punisher. He is an anti-hero. If he joins the Avengers, it is estimated that he will conflict with Steve Rogers's ideas, so he cannot join. In this way, there are only three people on the final list.
Steve Rogers-Captain America, Clint Barton-Hawkeye, Natasha Romanoff-Black Widow
After deciding on the candidate, Director Fury went straight to Steve Rogers.
In a boxing gym in Washington, it was closed, but it was bought by Steve Rogers and used as a place to vent. After all, for Steve Rogers, he just woke up from a sleep and found that the world had passed seventy years, everything had changed, and he also missed the most important dance. All of this made Steve Rogers irritable.
As a sandbag was knocked out, Steve Rogers didn't say anything, just picked up a new sandbag and hung it up, and continued to hit. With one punch bigger than the other, after only ten punches, the sandbag was knocked out again.
"What's wrong, you don't seem to have adapted yet?"
"Why are you here?"
"To recruit you, the veteran." Director Fury said.
"I'm out of date, and now I just want to live the ordinary life I once wanted to live." Steve Rogers said without looking back.
"Someone wants to see you." Director Fury sighed and said.
Steve Rogers just turned around. He didn't know who wanted to see him. Suddenly he thought of something and became silent. He followed Director Fury and silently arrived at the medical department of the Tri-Wing Building. He opened the door. In a VIP room, there was a white-haired old man lying in it. When Steve Rogers saw the old man's vicissitudes of life, he held back tears and lowered his head.
He quietly sat on a chair nearby and looked at the photos on the table.
"You're here, Steve." The old man slowly opened her eyes, but when she saw Steve Rogers, she subconsciously wanted to hide her face, but due to physical reasons, she remained motionless in the end.
"Yes, I'm here, Paige, you should be proud of yourself."
Yes, the old man is none other than Peggy Carter, one of the founders of SHIELD and Steve Rogers' former girlfriend.
At this time, Peggy Carter also noticed Steve Rogers' line of sight. She followed it and found that he was looking at photos of her family and said, "I have lived a lifetime, and the only regret is that you did not live your life." life."
After hearing this, Steve Rogers slowly lowered his head. Peggy Carter smiled slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My principle has always been to do the right thing, but now I seem to have no idea what is right. In fact, I have thought about returning to the army, obeying orders, and defending the country, but everything is happening now compared to when I joined the army. It’s different.”
After listening to Steve Rogers' words, Peggy Carter couldn't help but laugh: "You are still the same as before, always talking so exaggeratedly, you saved the world, and we made it all a mess. "
"Don't talk nonsense. The big reason why I haven't completely returned to ordinary people's lives is because I know that you founded SHIELD."
Peggy Carter grabbed Steve Rogers' hand, put it on her stomach, and held it with her hand: "The world has changed, but we can't go back. We can only do our best, And sometimes, the best option is to start over."
After saying this, Peggy Carter started to cough. Steve Rogers quickly brought a glass of water and fed it to her, but when Peggy Carter drank the water, her expression changed.
She became aggrieved and her expression was not as stable as before.
"Steve?"
"it's me."
"You're still alive, you, you're back, long time no see, long time." Peggy Carter said with a cry.
"How could I leave my lover? I still owe her a dance." Steve Rogers said quickly.
Then the two chatted for a while until the doctor came in and said that Peggy Carter needed to rest. Steve Rogers then closed his mouth and held Peggy Carter's hand to accompany her to sleep.
