Chapter 32 - Influence
SHIELD’s black car rushed over to surround Superman and Captain America. Nick was very angry. He couldn’t imagine what the headlines of tomorrow’s news would be. The trapeze came to New York? Even the mutants are not so arrogant, and the news has to be controlled again. The last time Superman saved the flood, it was controlled for a wave. Many websites only pass unclear videos. Ask the experts to fabricate a lie about the sudden abnormality of the climate that caused a large number of rivers to freeze.
Do you know how much budget was spent?
Kent never kept a low profile. When he was Superman, he often flew around the metropolis, but he just didn’t know that he was Kent. At that time, he wanted to maintain his dual identity to a greater extent to protect the people around him from the revenge of the bad guys, but in this world Kent’s identity was almost nothing, and Kent and those who knew Kent were all under the protection of S.H.I.E.L.D., naturally Not to worry about being known to be superhuman.
So he came to track the US team for the first time, and made a harmless joke by the way: everyone in the 21st century can fly.
Captain America was still bewildered, but Director Nick gave an explanation: “Captain, this is really New York, it’s just that you have slept for 70 years, this is New York in 70 years, welcome to the 21st century.”
So, wouldn’t it be better to tell the truth early in the morning? Kent really doesn’t want to complain about the logic of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Captain America was speechless, but seeing that Chief Nick was a black man, he knew that this place must not be controlled by the Nazis, because black people could not serve the Nazis.
“Captain, and Kent, get in the car.” Nick glared at Kent, obviously dissatisfied with him.
Kent shrugged: “I’m bored, can I just fly for a while to relax?”
“But please don’t come to the city center.”
The captain still didn’t understand: “People in the 21st century can really fly? Why do you still drive cars?”
The agents are absolutely down, obviously only Superman can fly. The confused captain solved a lot of questions on the way back, such as why he slept for 70 years, such as why Superman can fly, and such as is this really 70 years later, what about German fascism, and World War II?
When the questions were solved one by one, Captain America not only did not have the joy of coming back from the dead, nor the joy of winning the war, but instead had a faint sense of loss. After knowing everything, he knew that his time had passed, the war was over, and his comrades were dead and old. He might as well sleep with those comrades, and perhaps be more peaceful.
Of course, he didn’t say anything ‘why should he wake himself up?’, he just silently looked at the high-rise buildings outside the window, knowing that there was no going back.
It seemed that his joke had failed. Kent shrugged his shoulders when he saw that Captain America was unresponsive, and said that he did his best. Obviously, the other party’s mood could not be recovered by a joke.
Back in the bureau, Captain America officially saw the new working environment of the 21st century secret service organization, which was a natural difference from the garage-like environment he had at that time.
“Mr. Howard Stark has passed away, and Ms. Peggy Carter is now being treated in a New York nursing home. She is very old…” Captain America learned the fate of his old friend from Chief Nick. Tears could not stop.
“…They are all veterans of our S.H.I.E.L.D. organization, heroes who fought against Hydra.” Chief Nick also almost shed tears. Many veterans didn’t have a happy ending. This is really sad, and there is nothing more heroic than this.
“Then what do you want me to do next?” Captain America looked at Nick with a steady mind.
“In the next period of time, we will arrange someone to teach you to adapt to the modern society. As for the future, there is no arrangement, but your military rank and treatment are retained.”
“Does the country still need me to go to the battlefield?” Captain America asked. If the war is over, he actually doesn’t want to go to the front line again.
“I haven’t decided yet, but now we are facing a lot of crises. Captain Rogers, have you seen that flying Superman too?”
Nodding, he was really deceived by Kent at first, thinking that everyone will fly in seventy years, and the feelings are all fake, so the image is profound.
“He’s not actually from Earth.”
Ah? It’s still a bit difficult for the World War II veterans to imagine aliens, because science fiction works were not popular at that time, and as an honest person, Captain America is not very clear: “Is he a Martian?”
“No, it’s much farther than Mars. He came to Earth across the universe and is a cosmic refugee. Not only aliens, but there are also many people with special abilities within us, known as mutants, and also Some mythical characters are about to return to our world, so now we are facing not only fascist Nazis, but more strange existences.” “I don’t know if you will be on the battlefield in the future, but I sincerely I hope that when you need to go to the battlefield, you will not refuse.”
Captain America neither agreed nor refused. He needs to consider that he is an old fashioned from the 1970s. I wonder if he can adapt to the new society.
Obviously it is difficult to adapt, UU reading www. uukanshu.com’s mobile phones, TVs and computers are incompatible with the US team, or the US team rejects these things from the heart. In this regard, he is very like an old grandfather. Captain America actually hoped that he would die, but he didn’t commit suicide if he didn’t die. He just didn’t want to have too much interaction with this era, so he quickly left the precinct to rent an old apartment, except for water, electricity and gas. Internet WIFI, spare time to go to the military club to do boxing training, just do it, like a hermit in the downtown.
The photo of Superman’s arrival in Times Square was still taken, and many people were taken this time. Some even went abroad that night, which made S.H.I.E.L.D. embarrassed.
Everyone knows that there are many tourists in New York Plaza, but I didn’t expect the photos to be spread abroad so quickly. Obviously, this can no longer be covered up.
A flying person, a mutant, or something else? Journalists and media are questioning the Ministry of National Defense every day, plus some vague videos before, as well as the appearance of the rescued people, which makes everyone imagine endlessly.
Is that a powerful mutant who can stop the flood from carrying the plane, or is it a weapon? There is a precedent for Iron Man, and everyone wants to know the truth.
Even foreign forces felt that they needed an answer from the United States, and for a while, a lot of pressure was placed on the press spokesman. He was also desperate, because he didn’t know anything, what red cloak held the plane, what man with an S on his chest froze the lake water in one breath, what happened to Nima?
The spokesperson doesn’t know at all, but more and more parties are being interviewed by reporters, more and more press releases are reported, and there are even more spies. High-level officials have to face a choice, whether to continue to conceal or expose aliens. people? If you continue to hide it, maybe other secrets other than Superman will have to be investigated by spies, which is really embarrassing.
