"Don't be nervous, I just did a small favor." Steven said with an innocent face spreading his hands.

"Little busy?" Mary walked up to Mark, looked at him full of doubts, then looked at Mark with a calm face, and asked, "Are you all right?"

Mark shook his head, and then, with a smile, said, "Mary, can you help me adjust this bed so that I can sit up?"

"Adjust the bed?" Mary shook her head and said, "No, no, the doctor clearly said that you must stay in bed until your incision is absorbed!"

Mark and Steven looked at each other, he smiled, stretched out his hand to gently stroke his abdomen, and said to her: "Then, why don't you take a look for yourself?" After speaking, he gently lifted up the patient's gown.

Mary glanced at him and looked at his stomach, where the gauze was covered with blood. She asked suspiciously, "What do you want me to see? A wound?"

Steven stood up without saying a word, reached out and lifted a corner of the gauze attached to his abdomen slightly, exposing the incision.

Mary looked there, stunned immediately, and said blankly: "Are you kidding me?" I saw the position where Mark had undergone surgery on his abdomen, the incision from the operation and the few wounds left after he was stabbed by the knife. The wound was half healed.

"I can feel the cells regenerate and heal rapidly, it's amazing, isn't it?" Mark smiled and looked at Mary's shocked face, "So, it's okay, let me sit up!"

Mary snorted, and adjusted Mark's hospital bed to a position where he could half lie and half sit, and then asked worriedly, "Are you sure it's all right?"

Mark nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, I feel very good now, strictly speaking, very good. Thanks to your friend." He looked at Steven and asked gently: "I don't seem to be Know your name, right?"

"I..." Steven sat down again, and when he heard him ask, he was about to introduce himself, when he suddenly remembered that he had pretended to be his student before, and his face showed a look of discomfort, "My name is Steven Rogers."

Mark was surprised when he heard the words, looked at him, and asked, "Say, what's your name?"

"Steven Rogers, Captain America!" Mary said bluntly before Steven spoke.

Steven smiled dryly, looked up at Mary, she raised her eyebrows at him, and then he turned to look at Mark, nodded and said, "I'm Steven Rogers."

Mark squinted at him slightly, and asked uncertainly: "Are you really Steven Rogers? Captain America, Steven Rogers?"

Steven nodded and said, "Yes."

When Mark heard the words, two excited lights shot out of his eyes. He stretched out his hand to Steven, and asked a little embarrassedly: "If...you don't mind, can you let me...see you?"

look at me?What's the meaning?Steven looked at Mark, and was a little confused by what he said to look at. He didn't quite understand what he meant by looking at it, so he couldn't help looking at Mary.

Mary raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth curled up, showing an expression of watching a play, and said with a smile: "Oh, I just want you to stand up now, and then come closer...stretch out your hand."

Hearing what she said, Steven thought for a while, then slowly stood up and approached Mark's hospital bed, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand.

Mark grabbed Steven's hand, rolled up his sleeve, pressed the tangled muscles on his arm vigorously, and sighed, "I have to say, this is completely beyond my expectation, you know? The transforming power of the super soldier serum can achieve such an effect? ​​It’s amazing, isn’t it?” He raised his eyes and looked at Steven carefully, and said seriously: “I have had the honor to check some of your information, and I have to say , I have always been skeptical about the effect of the transformation of super soldiers. By the way, if I remember correctly, you had severe asthma before the transformation, right? After you were transformed, did it relapse?"

"No recurrence." Steven replied in a low voice, looking at the enthusiasm in Mark's eyes, which is a kind of love for science.The original concern in his heart slowly dissipated, and he added: "In fact, after the serum has completely transformed my body, even alcohol can't knock me down."

"Well, this is a normal reaction, because the serum speeds up the metabolism in your body, so before the alcohol takes effect, it has been metabolized by the serum." Mark nodded, let go of Steven, and took He looked at him with adoring and fanatical eyes, as if admiring some peerless artwork, showing a satisfied expression.He turned his head, looked at Mary and said, "I didn't expect you to know Captain America."

"You never asked, didn't you?" Mary said dumbfoundedly, looking at Mark who was ignited by "Captain America" ​​to ignite his enthusiasm for science, she felt that he must be eager to drag Steven to the laboratory right now, and then enjoy himself. Doing various tests to study the "super soldier" he has been thinking about.

Steven rolled down his sleeves, pondered for a moment, and said, "Professor Walter, actually, I... want to talk to you."

"Really?" Mark turned back to Steven, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?" He glanced at Mary, and suddenly said, "Oh, if you want to Talking about Mary, I have to tell you that Mary has always been a very thoughtful child, so if you have any ideas, it is best for the two of you to solve them yourself, I may not be able to help you!"

"Dad!" Mary heard Mark's meaning, and she was embarrassed, "You misunderstood! He didn't mean that!"

"Isn't it?" Mark glanced at Mary, and asked Steven with a slight smile: "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Steven's face became serious. He looked at him seriously and said, "What I want to talk to you about is related to the theft of your office last night. To be precise, it is related to your research on cloning technology."

There was a faint smile on Mark's face, but when he heard Steven mention what happened last night, the smile disappeared immediately. He looked at Steven for a while and said, "Someone wants my research materials, Is it right?"

Steven nodded seriously and said, "Yes."

Mark didn’t speak, he looked at Steven thoughtfully.

Steven looked back at him quietly without saying a word.

Mary quietly sat down on the edge of Mark's bed, her eyes flicked back and forth between Mark and Steven, without saying a word.

The ward was quiet, except for the beeping of the breathing and heartbeat monitoring machine, which was the sound of Mark's heartbeat, beeping gently one after another.

After a while, Mark asked, "Can you tell me who wants my research?"

"Hydra," Steven replied, "I don't know if you know..."

"I know!" Mark interrupted him, staring into his eyes, and asked, "Was it someone from Hydra who came to my office last night?"

"He...not." Steven showed a faint embarrassment, "If you know the Winter Soldier... I think you should understand why I said, he is not."

"Winter Soldier?" Mark repeated the word in a low voice, looked at him and said, "Sorry, I wasn't very clear."

Steven showed a surprised expression. He thought that since Mark knew himself and Hydra, he should naturally know the Winter Soldier, but unexpectedly, Mark didn't know?

"Mark will care about everything related to his research field, such as you." Mary saw his confusion and explained bluntly: "The Winter Soldier does not belong to his research field."

Mark nodded and said, "Sorry, that's true!"

Steven smiled helplessly and said, "I see."

"In fact, just a week ago, someone came to the school to find me. She wanted me to sell my research results, but I refused." Mark said slowly, "It seems that that person should belong to Hydra."

"You used her word, so it seems that the other party is a woman?" Steven asked.

"Yes, it was a woman, a woman who seemed very arrogant, and when I rejected her, she seemed very annoyed." Mark recalled, "According to you, that woman should be Hydra, right? "

"I'm not sure, but it doesn't rule out that Hydra originally wanted to obtain your research by purchasing it. After you rejected it, it sent Bucky to your office to steal the information." Steven said thoughtfully , "I think the first thing to confirm now is who hurt you last night."

"Last night?" Mark said with a wry smile, "I met a young man who wanted some money, and you know I was in a hurry to get home and didn't want to cause trouble, so I gave him all the change I had. , But what I didn't expect was that this child is not satisfied, he probably thinks that I still have money in the bag I carry with me..." When he said this, he suddenly coughed, and Mary quickly took the water glass and handed it to him.

Mark drank half a glass of water in one breath, moistened his thirsty throat, smiled at Steven, and said, "I didn't feel it just now, but now that I have said such a long paragraph, my throat seems to be so dry that it is smoking."

Steven smiled and said, "Will you drink more?"

Mark shook his head, handed the water glass to Mary, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "You have all seen the outcome of the matter."

Mary put the water glass back where it was, turned to Mark and said unhappily: "You deliberately skipped a key plot! Why didn't you explain in detail why you were stabbed?"

A wry smile appeared on Mark's face, he glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "Because, it's not very embarrassing."

Mary looked at him speechlessly, and for a moment, said depressedly: "In my opinion, you will be stabbed with a knife, and it has something to do with your briefcase. The guy wants your bag, but you don't give it, so you are..."

"How do you know?" Mark asked in surprise.

"How do I know? Isn't this obvious?" Mary glanced at him and held her forehead with a headache, "I really convinced you!"

"Mary, I was wrong, okay?" Mark admitted his mistake.

Steven was amused by Mark, he looked at Mark with the eyes of a child when he did something wrong, and said slowly: "I think it doesn't matter why you were stabbed by a knife, the important thing is that your carry-on bag It was snatched away, is there...is there any important information in there?"

When Mark heard this, he immediately changed his face.
