Chapter 192 Return
"Steve, have you made up your mind?" Nick stared at Steve Rogers with his one eye and asked carefully.
"Yes~ I've decided... to exchange me for Tony Stark. I don't want anything to happen to him because he is the son of my old friend."
Recalling the appearance of Howard Stark in his mind, to Steve, the 70 years of separation seemed like just a day ago, making him unable to tell whether he was still in a dream.
With a smile on his face, Steve recalled his old friend and said:
"I believe... Tony must be a kind, humorous, intelligent and lovely guy..." Steve said seriously with a nostalgic look on his face.
Nick paused and frowned in confusion. How did you come to such an outrageous conclusion?
In the SHIELD gym, Steve sighed as he sat in front of a sandbag.
resurrection?
What an unfamiliar word.
He just took a nap, and when he opened his eyes, he had arrived in the future and saw a strange world.
Then someone told him, Captain America Steve Rogers, you are alive, the war is won, and you have arrived 70 years later.
This is as ridiculous as a clown's nose.
Until he had to accept the news.
Everything...seems true and false, yet I can see the shadow of everything...in the past.
His body was still young, but his soul, accustomed to that age, was like that of a stubborn, old man.
This world is bizarre and full of vitality, but darkness still exists in this world, covering the sky and oppressing countless ordinary people here.
Just...same as before...
The war was won, but Steve still felt like a loser.
He fights on the battlefield to make the world a better place.
Insist that you are on the side of justice.
But now the United States is powerful and number one in the world.
But soldiers still die on battlefields and homeless people still wander the streets of New York.
The rapid development of technology has made the world change with each passing day, but those who were once high and mighty are still high and mighty today, and the changes have only widened the gap.
And... the world seemed to no longer need him, no longer needing this old guy who had crawled out of the coffin, no longer needing this fighting hero who had once represented honor, bravery and sacrifice.
Is America getting better? Steve thinks it just can’t get any worse…
Funny enough, the ones who greeted him when he revived were not Bucky, not Carter, not Howard, or even any member of the Howling Commandos, but the same Red Skull and his Hydra as when he left.
What's even funnier is that it actually pulled him back from the feeling of being out of touch with the world.
It’s so cordial ~ just like... meeting an old friend.
Although, this Red Skull doesn't look like a Red Skull, and Hydra doesn't look like a Hydra.
However, Steve intends to take it seriously and concentrate on... rescuing Tony Stark and meeting this "Hydra" in person.
"Captain, I believe in your decision. I also believe that you will win again against Hydra, just like every time in the past..." Nick glanced at the several sandbags that had been broken.
Ever since Steve woke up, he often stayed here. The outside world seemed like a devil, preventing him from going deeper and making him dare not go deeper.
The timing of Hydra's appearance is just right. It's time for Steve to see more of the sun and get to know the world better.
After all... if you want to deal with Hydra, how can you do it if you know nothing about the world today?
"What a coincidence, Captain, the registration website that Hydra mentioned before is now online..."
Nick's mouth twitched inexplicably, but he still said:
"We had an agent talk to the Hydra customer service who was not acting right on the website.
He told us to stop harassing him, that he didn't believe we were S.H.I.E.L.D., and he even wrote on the webpage that he wanted to save Tony Stark.
Unless Captain America comes to talk in person."
Hearing this, Steve also fell silent. He looked at Nick with a serious expression and asked:
"So…what's a website, what's customer service? And how do you talk to Hydra in person?"
These very constructive questions made Nick's mouth curl slightly.
Just ask~
Look, isn't Steve integrating into society very quickly?
Sure enough, many times, the enemy is the driving force for a person to move forward.
"Don't worry... Coulson will teach you these. I think he will be happy to teach you."
Everything went very smoothly. Nick originally wanted to take action immediately and deal a fatal blow to this fake Hydra.
But now think about it, existence has its value. Perhaps this fake Hydra is the target for Captain America's recovery, allowing Steve to return quickly.
Of course, necessary investigation is also essential.
