Sentinel

Chapter 436
The peaceful time always passes quickly, and the new era is like a galloping horse, passing through the gap of time.

In an old house in Brooklyn, Steve wears a pointed hat made of newspaper and wields a long roller brush, diligently painting the old walls, while his friend Bucky, who is gradually recovering his memory, is also cleaning the room hygiene.

It's hard to imagine that one of them is a World War II veteran of the last century, and the other is Hydra's ace killer, but now they are like ordinary people, wearing aprons and newspaper hats for cleaning.

Especially Steve Rogers, the former war hero and righteous leader of superheroes, has long since disappeared from public view, and people can only see him in museums and educational videos.

Captain America is very satisfied with his current life. After removing his shield and Stars and Stripes uniform, he seems to have also invisibly got rid of his past responsibilities and found peace of mind.

Back then in the bar, Steve and Sean had a long conversation and talked a lot with each other. After that, he signed the superhero agreement bill, ignored the complicated and dark political disputes, and lived a retired life .

Steve, who threw down his shield and national flag, is now relaxed, and all the confusion and hesitation in the past have dissipated.

The veteran of World War II fought on the battlefield full of gunpowder, walked through the hail of bullets, and fell into the glacier with an incomplete agreement before the victory came.

After waking up from 70 years of long slumber, I opened the curtains as if I had slept, only to find that the world in front of me was completely different and had undergone tremendous changes.

The tragic war sweeping the world is over, and those comrades-in-arms and partners who fought side by side with him, some are old, and some are buried in the ground, which makes Steve have a huge void in his heart that cannot be filled.

In peaceful times, Captain America, as a war hero, could not find the value of his own existence.The country just regards him as a model for propaganda, and people think he is a legendary figure who has come out of history. Everyone calls him Captain America, but no one cares about the boy named Steve Rogers under the uniform of the Stars and Stripes. who is tall.

Just when Steve was at a loss, Nick Fury approached him and joined SHIELD after some persuasion, but he soon discovered that the so-called SHIELD was not an organization for exercising justice. and peacekeeping institutions.

The black director is too indifferent. In a crisis, the solution to the problem is always the first priority, not the casualties and safety of people. This makes Captain America totally disagree.

Steve is like a lonely ghost living in the 21st century. All his memories are still stuck in the gloomy World War II, unable to adapt to the changes in the new world.

Until later, he and Sean had a conversation in a bar, and the other party believed that it was the existence of superheroes that caused the world to be in turmoil and chaos.

A group of human beings with powerful abilities wear uniforms and cloaks to fight criminals. While maintaining justice, they also ignore the laws and rules of the country. In a sense, superheroes also belong to the ranks of criminals.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but not everyone can shoulder heavy responsibilities and restrain their abilities.

So instead of letting superheroes save the world, it is better to fundamentally change the world.

Steve has to admit that Sean has done a great job. Even though superheroes have disappeared, the world is not in turmoil, and a new order has begun to be established.

Without Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. has become more pure, committed to maintaining order and homeland security. Even the mutants who were persecuted before can be recognized by people in a dignified way. The discriminatory name became a "new human being".

Without the existence of Iron Man, Captain America, and the Avengers, the world remains peaceful and beautiful. Everyone gradually forgets about superheroes. They gradually become legends and classic characters in comic books.

"Steve, what should we have for dinner? We don't have any ingredients at home, we have to go to the supermarket to buy them."

Bucky, who was busy cleaning up, asked.

The Winter Soldier, who slowly regained his memory, got rid of the darkness and haze of the past with the help of his friends, and started to live a new life.

A long time ago, Bucky accepted the public trial of the court and served his sentence in the island prison. He was not officially released until Umbrella completely cleared the aftereffects of brainwashing.

Although he still needs to face the long-term supervision of S.H.I.E.L.D., this is a good start anyway.

"Since we are renovating our new home, we should celebrate today. How about bisque, mashed potatoes, grilled lamb chops and fried shrimp?"

The painting is almost done, Steve said with his head down and a smile.

"Sounds so rich, I thought you were going to ask Peter to bring over a pizza again."

Bucky joked and turned on the TV casually.

"...The World Security Council officially passed the 'Continent Plan' not long ago. In Antarctica, Africa, and Australia, Umbrella will provide technical support to build a new technology city, preparing for going out of the earth and exploring the universe in the future... …According to the latest news, Earth will formally establish good diplomatic relations with extraterritorial civilizations, and promote friendly exchanges of science and civilization with each other…”

The old TV was broadcasting the news, and on the dusty screen, the pictures transmitted remotely were scrolling, and occasionally a few spaceships flashed, as well as all tall and straight figures, black uniforms, and flame armbands, which were being formed The Exploration Corps, they will be the first humans to go to outer space.

"It's really unimaginable. I can still remember the scene when we participated in the Stark Tomorrow Expo together. At that time, Howard, who was standing on the stage, said that everyone is witnessing the future, and now, we are already in the future. "

Steve felt sincerely, and said with some regret.

"I also remember that time was also your chance to change your life...Steve, you met Dr. Erskine and became Captain America."

Bucky also smiled and said: "Before that, you were still a little man who put newspapers on the soles of your shoes when you went out, but in the blink of an eye, you led us to defeat the German Nazis."

The two friends looked at each other and smiled. Those good memories at the beginning have now become precious pictures that are gradually fading in their minds. Only occasionally can they be taken out and savored carefully.

"Okay, it's time to go to the supermarket. Although Peter's pizza shop is delicious, we can't eat it every day."

Steve put on his coat and walked downstairs with Bucky. The setting sun gradually sank into the horizon, and the steel jungle turned into a beautiful silhouette in the dim yellow afterglow.

The soft sunlight stretched the figures of the two people very long. They walked on the streets of Brooklyn, as if they had returned to the last century.

Steve looks into the distance, a new era is opening, and both he and Bucky will be witnesses.
