The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 12 Will be late, not absent

The three continued to look at the light curtain in front of them, just like watching a movie, Steve rode his special motorcycle alone and drove towards Hydra's headquarters base.

"Damn it, how smart was Steve when I didn't see him in the fight before?" Bucky complained as he watched the Hydra bikers chasing him easily.

In the past, he would only rely on recklessness, but if he couldn't be reckless, he would come on stage to save him.

"Bucky, don't you think his whole plan is reckless?" Abraham said.

Hearing this, Bucky was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "You're right, doctor, this is very Steve."

The screen follows Steve moving quickly, riding in alone, killing all directions, and then... was caught.

……

"I've been thinking, what's the difference between the old guy Abraham, who looks like an ordinary person." Red Skull came over and looked at Steve.

"Yes, a very ordinary Brooklyn kid." Steve admitted frankly.

"what!"

For Steve's answer, Red Skull was very indignant and punched Steve directly in the abdomen.

"Damn it, Abraham actually deprived me of everything just for a mortal like you! Then I handed it over to you!" Red Skull roared loudly.

……

On the other side of the screen, Adam and Bucky looked at Abraham with strange eyes and said, "How did you fall in love with this madman at that time?"

After understanding the eyes of the two, Abraham blushed and quickly raised his hand to explain: "At that time he acted so well! I couldn't see it at all... Besides, I didn't know that the serum had such a side effect... Well, I'm blind, okay?"

"Hmm." The two nodded when they got a satisfactory answer, and continued to watch the "movie".

……

Just when the Red Skull pulled out his gun and prepared to give Steve a fatal blow, the Red Skull noticed the noise outside the window. In the next second, several soldiers descended directly through the glass and rushed into the base.

Machine guns fired, and bullets flew across, saving Steve and cleaning up the scene at the same time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Red Skull ran away quickly.And Steve took the shield thrown by his teammates and immediately chased after him.

At this time, the large force led by Colonel Philip also charged the base after receiving the news that the infiltration team had succeeded.

……

"Hey, Uncle Adam, I want to ask...if you make a move...would it be easy to solve?" Bucky asked a little dejectedly.

Seeing the ordinary soldiers who died in the charge in the light curtain, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Although I didn't know them well, they were also my compatriots and comrades-in-arms. Watching them die like this always made me feel uncomfortable.

"Yes." Adam nodded and admitted decisively.

"Then can you take action now, deal with the Red Skull, and end this battle?" Bucky requested, and even Abraham looked at Adam imploringly.

"I won't make a move. As for why, you will know in the future. Now is not the time." Adam said with a sigh.

"Okay, okay." Bucky was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.

Adam said before that everyone has their own destiny. Although it is sad, this is the reality, and if it is not for Adam, he is probably one of those soldiers who died in battle now. He has no position to ask Adam to do anything else.

……

In the fierce pursuit, the Red Skull managed to escape to the air fortress loaded with bombs and successfully took off.

At the last moment of takeoff, with the help of Colonel Philip and Peggy, Steve successfully grabbed the landing gear and sneaked into the sky fortress.

After destroying two super bombs that came into view, targeting New York and Chicago, re-confront the Red Skull in the cockpit.

"Damn! You have the ability to become a god! Why stop me? Just for the flag on your chest?" Red Skull asked loudly while shooting at Steve.

"Of course, without this flag, I don't know how to live." Steve replied while dodging.

"Ah~!"

After a roar, the two wrestled together again.

……

"Adam, tell me, is there really a god in this world?" Abraham asked Adam after hearing what the Red Skull said.

"Of course." Adam nodded.

"Really?" Abraham and Bucky were shocked.

"Yes, but it is definitely not the kind that Schmidt said. The real gods are the carriers of the world's rules. They are in charge of the entire world, or a part of the authority of the entire universe.

If it is true, as Schmidt said, that power is God, then the existence of God is simply too cheap. ’ Adam explained.

When he first came to this world, Adam noticed that there really are gods in this world, and there are five more. Although they can sense their traces, they don't seem to be in this universe.

"It seems that we are still too arrogant and don't know anything about this world." Abraham shook his head with a wry smile.

He is a very contradictory person. He has always regarded science as the truth and does not believe in any metaphysics. However, the "Super Soldier Serum" he developed is a very idealistic idea of ​​"making good people better and bad people worse". reagent.

Until now, with the gradual contact with Adam, he began to slowly change the concept. After all, the end of all science is theology.

……

While the three of Adam were chatting, the battle between Steve and the Red Skull was coming to an end. Steve hit the shield and slammed the Red Skull into the air, hitting the instrument that set up the Rubik's Cube.

After a violent collision, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube fell off the instrument and began to overflow with light blue spots.

"No, no!" Upon seeing this, the Red Skull immediately got up and picked up the Cosmic Cube, wanting to look at his most beloved lover and become obsessed with it.

But at this moment, a change occurred, and the Cosmic Rubik's Cube began to burst out a large amount of energy. A blue beam of light rose up, connected to the deep space of the universe, and a suction force was generated to pull the red skull into the beam of light, disappearing into the original land.

"Bangdang~"

After the Red Skull disappeared, the beam of light dissipated, and the Rubik's Cube fell on the steel plate. Steve ran over and could only watch helplessly as the energy generated by the Rubik's Cube melted through the steel plate of the Sky Fortress and fell from a high altitude.

Steve has no free time to manage the Rubik's Cube, but quickly ran to the console to check the situation.

As everyone knows, a pitch-black hand suddenly appeared to catch the Rubik's Cube when it was about to fall, and then disappeared again.

Steve checked the console and immediately contacted the Hydra base that had been occupied by the Allies.

"This is Captain Steve Kronos, can anyone hear me?"

"Captain! You..."

Hearing Steve's voice, Peggy on the side immediately snatched the communicator from a team member.

"Steve, what's going on?" Paige asked.

"Schmidt is dead, and the Rubik's Cube fell from the Sky Fortress."

"Then can you control the Sky Fortress?"

"The situation is very complicated, I am going to ditch it into the sea." Steve said.

"No, Steve, please don't do this, I'll contact Howard right away, he knows..." Paige begged.

"There's no time. The Sky Fortress is about to arrive in New York. I have to make an emergency landing right now. It happens to be no man's land. If it's too late, countless people will die," Steve said.

Paige was silent, her eyes filled with tears.

"Peggy, this is my choice." Steve replied, and after finishing speaking, he cut off the communication, and put his precious pocket watch on the operating table, with a photo of Peggy inside.

At this moment, Steve's eyes were fixed, and he made up his mind, and suddenly pressed down the joystick of the Sky Fortress, and the Sky Fortress immediately began to dive at a vertical angle.

"It's now, bring him back, don't forget the pocket watch." Adam's voice sounded in Baimao's mind.

Baimao made a decisive decision and showed up directly.

Sensing something, Steve immediately wanted to turn around to resist, but Baimao's hand was faster, grabbed his arm, and took the pocket watch away with the other hand.

At the same time, a blue vortex appeared behind the two of them, and Baimao just grabbed Steve and jumped into the blue vortex.

Peggy, who didn't know the situation, only heard a violent sound from the other end of the communicator, and then the communication was interrupted.

Everyone else left silently, only Paige was left, covering her face with her hands, sobbing softly.

……

In the underground space of Adam's house, Baimao and Steve jumped out of the blue vortex, and Baimao also let go.

Steve rolled over and immediately got into a fighting stance, but the next second, he was dumbfounded.

"Dad? And Bucky? Are you there, Doctor?" Steve looked at the three of them in surprise.

"Clap~Clap~Clap~"

"Son, you did a great job, you are my pride." Adam said while clapping, walking towards Steve and helping him up.

"Dad, what the hell is going on?" Steve asked, and then looked at the Baimao who rescued him.

"He is the person I have always arranged to be by your side to protect you." Adam explained.

Steve was taken aback when he heard the words, but he was relieved after a while. He knew that his adoptive father was not an ordinary person, and with Bucky's precedent, it was not so difficult to accept.

"Thank you, Dad, but if there is another time, I hope you will tell me in advance." Steve complained.

"I told you, would you be so sensational?" Bucky teased.

"Sensational?" Steve was taken aback for a moment, then immediately thought of something, and his old face blushed.

"You... you! Did you all hear that?" Steve asked tremblingly, pointing at Bucky.

"Of course, I not only heard it, but also saw it." Adam smiled badly and nodded to Baimao.

Baimao understood immediately, and threw the pocket watch that he took away to Steve.

Steve took the pocket watch and looked at the beauty in the photo, his face full of admiration and love.

"Okay son, don't watch it, don't forget, you still owe someone a dance, so don't be late." Adam reminded.

"Um, yes, I'm going to tell Peggy the news!" Steve wanted to run out immediately after hearing this.

"Steve!"

"Dad? Is there anything else?"

"Remember to change your clothes."

Adam pointed to Steve's combat uniform, which, like many others, he thought was ugly.

"Uh, okay, I'll change it right away." Steve blushed and nodded, but stopped before taking two steps.

"Dad."

"what happened?"

"Thank you."

……

That night, it was very late at the Lawrence bar. There was no one in the bar at this time, only Peggy was sitting at the bar, ordering a glass of wine, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

She dressed herself up meticulously today. Not only did she put on beautiful makeup, she also put on a bright red tight-fitting dress, which perfectly outlined her bumpy figure.

A bit of heroism has faded away, and a bit of charming charm has been replaced.

But such a beauty was sitting on the bar with her head lowered and tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Peggy, are you okay?" Howard asked from outside the bar door.

"I'm fine." Paige replied, wiping away her tears.

"Peggy..." Howard wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything.

In the end, he only said: "I have reserved the bar, no one will disturb you."

"Thank you." Peggy didn't look at him, but thanked him in a low voice.

Howard didn't say anything else, but turned and left, leaving Peggy alone in the bar again.

But not long after, the bell hanging in front of the bar rang, indicating that someone had entered.

Peggy looked over subconsciously, but the next second, she froze, covering her mouth with her hands, unable to believe that what she saw was real.

"Steve...is...is that you?" Paige asked in a trembling voice, she really hoped it was all true.

"It's me, Paige, sorry I'm late." Steve came over and gently hugged her in his arms.

"You...how could...you are not..."

"This...that's a long story."
