When Valoran meets the hero of American comics

"Coulson"

Steve's voice came from behind, stopping Colson's departure.

"Captain, I"

Coulson turned his head with a smile, but the smile quickly turned into something awe-inspiring.

Looking into Steve Rogers' calm eyes, the words of evasion reached his lips but he couldn't say them out.

Some people are legends themselves, and just their names can inspire respect.

For Coulson, who is not a believer, "Captain America" ​​means an alternative belief. Even if he has received enough professional agent training and knowledge instruction, he cannot lie under the gaze of the other party.

So, he stood silently to express his unspeakable difficulties.

"You're going to find Master Gu Yi, right?"

Steve was not a person who forced things into things, but he had to ask now, because Coulson's performance had shown that the matter had reached an extremely urgent level.

"let's go together"

Steve, wearing loose mage training clothes, stood up from where he was sitting cross-legged on the ground and walked towards the wooden house behind him.

Coulson followed behind him, with a confused look on his face. It took him a long time to say awkwardly: "Captain, Director..."

"It has nothing to do with anyone," Steve Rogers, who pushed the door into the house, turned back with a solemn expression, "This is my responsibility."

Coulson wanted to persuade him again, but he didn't know what to say.

Although he didn't know what was happening in New York at this time, the commanding words and urgent tone of his director's communication could not be faked.

Clearly, the situation is urgent.

Only in this way will Nick Fury disregard his own "communication principles between SHIELD and Karma Taj" and ask Coulson to invite the "Master Supreme" who has not yet appeared in New York.

In this regard, Coulson has no position in discouraging "Captain America" ​​from being involved.

However, his own director repeatedly emphasized in the communicator that he should conceal or appease Steve and not let him get involved. As an agent, he naturally had to obey orders.

Coulson understands his director's thoughts. The U.S. authorities are not ready for Steve to show up yet. If Captain America appears rashly, it is likely to cause a conflict between the U.S. authorities and SHIELD.

After all, it is difficult for politicians to believe that Captain America, who has a reputation close to Jesus in the hearts of the people, would really be as disdainful of power and wealth as in the legend after discovering this.

Even if this is the case, this "adopted son of God" with his overwhelming sense of justice will make the authorities restrain their hands with his attitude towards the political situation.

It's understandable to be suspicious, and even Coulson, who admires Captain America so much, would have a hard time saying he's wrong.

This has nothing to do with trust, because even if Steve doesn't do those things, leaders of other countries will help him think about it and guide him to do it.

There is an old saying in China, "A gentleman can be bullied." What's more, the current United States may not be any better than Germany back then. In some parts of Asia and Africa, "notorious" is the best way to describe it.

"Colson, I know what you are worried about." Steve patted the young man's shoulder and said firmly: "But now is not the time to think about that."

"When I took over the shield, I swore an oath to use it to protect the weak and fight evil throughout my life. Now another disaster has struck. I cannot choose to turn a blind eye to the suffering of most people just because I want to take into account the thoughts of some individuals."

"team leader"

Before Colson could finish his words, Steve reached out to stop him.

He pointed to the sky and asked: "How was the starlight just now?"

Colson was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the topic jumped to that point, but he quickly recovered and said: "It's great, I have never felt so good in my body."

"I am also very grateful, but it has nothing to do with my body," Steve looked at Colson who looked puzzled and continued: "There is a kind of compassion in the starlight, and it healed my soul."

"It made me understand that my so-called worries about not being able to integrate with the times, my entanglement with American political behavior, and my fear of people's respect and expectations are all manifestations of cowardice and fear of taking responsibility, but they are just covered with a little glamor. It’s just a coat.”

"Why should I be afraid?"

"Many people are born strong, but I am not like that. I don't know how many times I have been bullied and bullied before, but I have never begged for mercy or felt resentful."

"Because I understand that once I beg for mercy once, I will never be able to keep moving forward with my head held high in my life. If I let the resentment accumulate in my chest, I will soon become the same as those bullying people under the influence of negative emotions like poisonous snake bites. People are just as miserable.”

"I have always lived a simple life, and now there is no need to think complicatedly."

"My heart tells me that suffering and tragedy are happening, so all I have to do is hold up my shield and stand in front of them."

After saying this, Steve walked into the house.

Coulson followed closely and looked at the simple furnishings. After thinking for a while, he finally expressed his opinion: "Captain, didn't you say you want to master special powers? If you give up now, you will probably miss the mark."

"There is the Ancient One and the Avengers over in New York, no"

“Do you really think the Ancient One would go to New York?”

Steve asked with a smile, Coulson said nothing.

This was not the first time for both of them to come into contact with the "Supreme Mage" and they understood the sage's temper and attitude towards the world.

If what happened in New York was really an invasion from another world or instigation from outsiders, there would be no need for anyone to say anything, Gu Yi would appear there immediately.

But Nick Fury asked Coulson to invite him, which meant that the situation was urgent and Master Ancient One did not show up.

Two reasons, either the Ancient One wasn't at Karma Taj, or what happened in New York was Earth's internal matter.

The former means that there are troubles in Dormammu, and the latter means that Karma Taj is unwilling to intervene.

No matter what the situation is, Ancient One will not change his attitude just because of Coulson or Steve's invitation.

"I hope it's not Dormammu's attack."

After a long silence, Colson said with a wry smile.

During their stay at Kamal Taj, the name "Dormammu" made both of them feel calloused.

All the mages took it as their duty to stop "Dormammu" and practiced hard. They were as fanatical as the gray wolf who studied the magic sealing wave in order to capture Getgard.

Steve didn't respond, but walked to the wooden wall and took off his buckler and his battle suit.

"Captain, I still think so"

"Afraid of embarrassing me"

Steve asked teasingly, his smiling eyes seeming to look straight into Colson's heart.

"Uh"

Colson's face turned red and he turned his eyes to the side in embarrassment.

He did think so, so he would be extremely embarrassed after Steve told him.

No disdain meant, just pure worry and concern.

Steve Rogers was active in the World War II era, and his opponents were the German army and Hydra agents. Now, among the super criminals in New York, there are many who can demolish buildings and blow up the streets with a wave of their hands. Compared with them, Coulson is not I didn't realize how much advantage the captain had.

Young people love to dream, dreaming of superheroes fighting against all evil.

The invincible image among them may be oneself, or it may be an idol.

For Coulson, the fantasy "Captain America" ​​is always invincible. In the past, he often argued with a group of children on the forum about how many moves Captain America could defeat the Hulk and how many minutes he could quell the rioting mutants.

However, people cannot always live in fantasy, they must always face reality.

Coulson very much hopes to see Captain again on the battlefield to protect the earth, but even though he has always believed that Captain will make those extremely powerful evildoers look good, there is always a voice whispering "What if" in his ear.

If Captain America's return debut fails, will these waves of admiration and praise turn into slander?

Will the Avengers look down on this old antique who doesn't know his own abilities?

Coulson was afraid that at some point the captain would be as outdated as "black and white television" and "communications radio" and be eliminated, becoming an old-era existence that only existed in stories and museum stone records.

Therefore, he behaves very contradictory: he hopes that Steve will return to the United States, share the news that "Captain America" ​​is still alive with everyone he admires, and dissuades the other party from taking action when encountering problems, thereby preventing the possibility of the end of the legend. , the sad scene where the hero falls behind.

"Captain, I didn't"

"I know what you mean, Coulson. You mean concern, not contempt."

Steve gave Colson a hug, then patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "I'm not angry. On the contrary, I'm very grateful."

"It is precisely because of the care of friends like you that I should go."

"If I shrink back today, will I still be the same Captain America you know?"

"Can"

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith, and I have no regrets or worries in life."

"I wore it in battle and won the title of Captain America. If I, an old antique like me, are really out of date, then let me be scrapped in battle."

Steve Rogers' voice was neither loud nor firm. His tone was more like a veteran returning to his hometown recalling his bloody youth with his juniors in the yard.

"Captain, I will go to New York with you and fight together."

Colson said to Steve word by word with red eyes.

"You go outside and wait for a while. We'll talk about going to New York later."

Steve did not respond to Colson's words, but pointed to the door and said softly.

"No, Captain, I'm not going anywhere. I want to charge with you, just like Mr. Bucky back then."

Coulson stood still, still insisting on his request.

"Uh"

Steve shook his head, and then handed over the things in his hand with a wry smile: "No matter how anxious you are, you have to let me put on the suit first."
