Queens, Mary's Apartments.

The hot water pot on the stove emitted billowing white smoke from the spout and made a sharp whistling sound. Mary, who was sitting at the dining table with Zach, stood up, walked to the stove and turned off the fire, picked up the kettle and Water was poured into two prepared mugs, and the aroma of coffee permeated the air as the hot water poured in.She stirred it with a small spoon, then returned to the table with the cups, put one of the cups in front of Zach, smiled and said, "I don't have your favorite coffee here, you can only make do with it."

Zach looked at the coffee in front of him, smiled faintly and said, "You know I don't care about this, Mary."

Mary sat down again, held the cup in her hand for a moment of silence, and said, "We just said that you ask Hydra for help..."

"You should use the word 'use' instead of asking for help. My relationship with that woman was nothing more than use." Zach looked at her. Take Steven Rogers."

Mary stared at him and said softly, "But you told Sienna Schmidt about Steven's stay in Seattle."

"Even if I don't tell you, she will find out that Steven Rogers is with you." Zach had a wry smile on his face, "Haven't you thought about this? Since the end result is the same, why can't I Take this in exchange for a little compensation in my favor?"

"Compensation?" Mary looked at Zach for a long time, a look of disappointment appeared in her eyes, she lowered her eyes, and said sadly: "I don't know what to say, Zach, you promised me when you were in Seattle, you won't Revenge for revenge, but you..."

Zach didn't say a word, and looked at Mary silently. After a while, he said mockingly, "I'm a bastard, and now, I've become an unscrupulous bastard just like that old bastard." He chuckled, "Don't Feel sorry for me, I'm not sad about it."

Mary raised her eyes slowly, looked at Zach who was smiling in front of her, and asked for a long time, "So, is your revenge over? Did you use Steven's news in exchange for the result you want?"

"Of course." Zach laughed, and said with a touch of regret: "The Odyssey has become history forever, but unfortunately, he didn't see it."

Mary looked at Zach, and felt that he was so strange in front of her eyes. His smile was no longer as warm and restrained as before. At this moment, he looked at him with a trace of bloodthirsty coldness.She understood Zach in her heart, but she couldn't agree with what he did. She lowered her eyes, looked at the coffee cup in front of her, and sighed deeply.

"You're sighing for me," Zach said quietly. "That's great!"

Mary smiled wryly, and stirred the coffee with a small spoon. After a long silence, she said, "What I can do for you is just a sigh, right?"

"No, you can do a lot for me." Zach leaned back in the chair, stared at the sad-faced Mary, smiled slightly, and said, "It's enough."

Not knowing what he meant by that, Mary shook her head slightly and said, "No, I can't do anything for you."

"Mary," Zach called suddenly.

Mary raised her eyes in confusion, looked at his suddenly serious face, and asked, "Why?"

"I have a question for you!" Zach said.

"Question? What's the problem?" Mary asked.

Zach stared at her for a long while, then said slowly: "We have known each other for many years, and I have not hidden anything from you, nor have I concealed who I am." He paused, "Do you really think that I am right? Are you just affection rather than love?"

Mary sighed and said, "Yes. I'm sorry, Zach, but you may have misunderstood your feelings for me as love."

Zach looked at her silently, for a long time, and said quietly: "I think the person who misunderstood is probably you, dear little Mary."

"Me?" Mary said helplessly, "Zach, I thought you had already figured it out, I don't know how to explain it to you, but I think between us, really"

Zach interrupted her, smiled slightly, stood up and straightened his coat and sleeves, and said, "Okay! Sorry, I shouldn't repeat the old story, I just didn't control my emotions for a while, I terribly sorry."

"No, it's not a matter of being sorry or not." Mary also stood up and looked at Zach who was smiling calmly, "Zach!"

Zach went around the table and walked in front of her, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her hair, and said seriously: "I see, shhh, stop talking, it's my fault."

"Zack!" Mary looked at him, his eyes and behavior overlapped with him when he was a child, this is the expression he used to escape when he used to escape, she gritted her teeth, grabbed his arm, and said: "Listen, in my eyes, you are my brother! Always have been, and always will be!"

Zach looked down at her, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Mary looked directly at him, feeling terribly uncomfortable, and she said softly, "You know that I love you very much, although not the kind you want, and you also know how important you are to me, and you know that I don't want to lose you. You, you know everything, and even so, do you have to, Zach?"

Zach looked back at her for a long time, and said softly: "You, can you try to love me, not as a brother, not as a relative, but as a man, just try to look at me from a man's point of view, won't it work? ?”

Mary bit her lip, shook her head, put her hands on her chest, and said, "Sorry, I can't."

Zach remained silent and stared at her for a long time. After a while, he slowly buttoned up his suit, opened the door silently and left Mary's apartment.

When Mary heard the sound of the door being closed, her back trembled slightly. Looking there, Zac had already left. She lowered her eyes, and a line of tears rolled down her eyes.

Mary's apartment entrance.

Steven stopped the motorcycle to the side of the road, looked up at the apartment building in front of him, took off his helmet and walked towards the door of the apartment.

At this moment, a man in a silver-gray suit came out and saw Steven stop suddenly, staring at him with cold eyes.

Steven looked back at the man in a little surprise, he stood there blocking most of the apartment door, from his expression, it was obviously done on purpose, Steven frowned slightly, and asked: "What's the matter with you? "

"So you've recovered!" The man looked him up and down, sneered with thoughtful eyes, "A poor kid from Brooklyn? Heh." After finishing speaking, he walked straight outside.

Steven turned his head inexplicably and watched this man open a red car on the side of the road. Who is this man?Regardless of whether he was in a normal state or an abnormal state, he had never seen this man before, but from this man, he felt extremely strong hostility.

The man was sitting in the car, looking at him, it was not very clear through the glass, but Steven still saw his strange smile. He watched the red car drive away from the apartment building, thinking to himself, this Knowing that he has recovered, who is the man who is full of hostility?
