Chapter 188 I Was Born Before You, You Were Born when I Was Old

Rogers had a dream, a long, long dream. He dreamed that he was back in New York and at Stocker Nightclub.

His brave invitation was responded to by Agent Carter, who danced with her, embraced her...

However, the dream eventually came to an end, and everything in front of him quickly retreated like a marquee, until the last moment when he piloted the plane and crashed on the ice field.

"Welcome to the 21st century, Mr. Rogers."

A voice rang from his ears, and Rogers was keenly aware that there was a woman next to him. The unknown smell of perfume on her body made him a little uncomfortable.

Not understanding what the other person meant, Rogers slowly opened his eyes and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw a beautiful blonde sitting next to him, with a beautiful face and different decorations on her hair.

Wearing a black leather jacket, long boots, and stockings, she looks sexy and heroic.

"Who are you and where am I?"

Leni put away the fruit knife on the table next to her and put it back into the fruit basket, then looked directly into the other person's eyes.

"Before answering your question, I want to confirm your situation first, Mr. Rogers. How much do you remember about what happened before you fell into coma?"

Rogers was a little confused and stared at Leni for a long time without answering her question. Instead, he looked around the ward.

"This is... the ward?"

He noticed the large screen on the opposite wall, which was a rare item for him.

"Yes, this is a private medical facility in the heart of New York City."

Leni did not urge the other party to answer the question. According to the process, she could not put too much pressure on the other party.

"New York...what day is it today?"

Captain America recalled his agreement with Agent Carter and sat up suddenly to get out of bed.

Leni did not step forward to stop him, but she also did not give way.

"It's Sunday, Mr. Rogers."

Rogers' movement out of bed stalled. He was indeed late, but he didn't give up. He still wanted to try again.

"How far is this from Stoker's Nightclub and how soon can I get there?"

Leni watched the other party's movements and felt confident about Rogers' situation.

"If you're talking about the Stock Club that closed down decades ago, I'm afraid you'll never find it again."

Rogers was stunned and looked at Leni in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

…

"What is she doing! Didn't I say not to put too much pressure on Rogers! Who asked her to do this!"

Nick Fury slammed the table hard, he was very angry at Leni's decision.

"Why are you panicking! You can still rush in and pull her out after everything is like this? Sit down!"

The old man on the side was startled by Nick Fury's actions, frowned and yelled.

"Of course she has her own reasons for doing this. You have given her full responsibility. Why are you still gesticulating? See for yourself how you look like a director now!"

After being scolded by the old man and losing his temper, Nick Fury took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and sat back down.

He was indeed reckless just now. He was not in his own office right now, and there were outsiders here. He really shouldn't be laughed at.

He turned to look at Colson and motioned for him to go back and deduct Leni's salary.

…

"Mr. Rogers, although I am sorry, I still regret to tell you that you have been sleeping for nearly 70 years."

Leni took a piece of information from the table nearby and handed it to Rogers who was slumped beside the hospital bed.

"Although I don't know who you made an appointment with at the Stork Club, I think you are already late for a long time."

Rogers took the information handed over by Leni with some sluggishness. He was not in the mood to read it at all. This was just his subconscious behavior.

"On March 5, 1945, you piloted a Hydra bomber and crashed into the North Pole. On May 8 of the same year, Germany announced its unconditional surrender, ending World War II."

Rogers' eyes were full of confusion, and he couldn't believe what Leni said.

"In the same year, after the victory of the war, the Strategic Science Corps as you know it announced its reorganization. It was led by your friends Mr. Howard Stark and Ms. Peggy Carter, and jointly established with General Chester Phillips to create the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Security Bureau, referred to as S.H.I.E.L.D.

Hearing the familiar name, Rogers focused his eyes again and carefully looked at the woman in front of him.

"In June of this year, I was ordered by the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to go to the North Pole to implement the [Snowman Project] to find Captain America, who had been missing for many years. After searching for more than a month, I found the aircraft at 2:37 pm on July 19. Bombers hidden beneath the ice."

Rogers looked into Leni's eyes. He saw no deception in them.

"On September 4th, today, we successfully woke you up. Welcome back to New York after 66 years."

Rogers lowered his head to look at the information in his hand. Only then did he notice the obvious logo on the folder and the words S.H.I.E.L.D. just spoken by the other party.

"Are you from SHIELD?"

After looking back and forth, the content of the information was basically consistent with what the other party said, but it was much more detailed.

Rogers even found information on the unexpected deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Stark.

"Howard..."

"Level 7 Agent of SHIELD, Leni Testarossa."

Leni magically pulled out a small notebook with the SHIELD emblem printed on it.

Rogers took a look and continued to look through the information. After reading about the death of his old boss, Mr. Chester Phillips, in 2003, he did not dare to look any further.

He was afraid that he would see the news about Peggy Carter's death. He was afraid that he would miss nearly 70 years before it was over. He was afraid that he would miss the other person's life.

…

Looking at the sad man on the monitor, the old man's heart was also full of bitterness. She did not deny that she still had a place for him in her heart, but reality no longer allowed it.

I was not born before you were born, but you were already old when you were born.

I am far away from you, but you are separated from me by the corner of the ocean.

Suppressing the sadness in his heart, the old man focused his eyes on Leni again.

"Is this how she always introduces herself?"

Nick Fury remained silent, but Coulson had no choice but to step forward and answer for him.

"Yes, for some reasons, she dislikes her Stark surname."

Hearing this, the old man glanced at Nick Fury beside him, and after a long time he sighed slowly.

"Oh...this is all a sin. The debt Howard owed must be repaid after all..."

Nick Fury still didn't speak. He just listened silently. After some investigation, he finally understood what happened.

"I think this girl is good. We have already failed her family once, but we cannot let her down a second time."

Everyone in the room was confused after hearing the old man's words, and the young people in the investigation team were even more confused.

"I'm old..."

Following the old man's long sigh, the only sound in the room was the sound coming from the monitor.
