Everyday life at Midtown High School

Chapter 38 Transitional Paragraphs

Steve was in the middle of a quick chat with Sam about veterans when he got the call from Pooh.

After retiring from the Air Force, Sam, who has been working in the veterans department, is a black man with a very hearty personality.

He has a unique sense of humor and a talent for familiarity. He only met Steve a few times during his morning jog, and he successfully struck up a conversation. He became a good friend of Steve even faster than Pooh.

Moreover, because they are both veterans, Sam obviously has more common topics with Steve.

Together, they can talk about the army, their incompatibility after retiring, their closest comrades-in-arms who unfortunately died, and vaguely mention some wars they have experienced but must keep secret now.

The similarity of certain life experiences made the two of them get acquainted quickly, and they can occasionally meet to participate in some activities belonging to veterans.

For example, this time, their appointment was an event for veterans.

Since Sam worked in the Department of Veterans, he had just received this assignment when the department launched its annual regular spot check.

The main task is to go to various places to check some settings and institutions serving veterans to see if there is any aging equipment or insufficient staff services.

The specific place to go is decided by everyone by lottery.

Sam just happened to be drawn to the Brooklyn Veterans Hospital.

Before he was about to set off, he remembered that the brother who ran with him in the mornings these few times happened to be from Brooklyn.

So, he contacted Steve very enthusiastically (self-acquaintance), and asked him if he had any plans to return to his hometown in the near future. If so, he could just go together this time.

At this time, Steve was in a very delicate period of self-entanglement.

The "Battle of New York" not long ago finally awakened his silent mind as a soldier, and made him realize that maybe the times are indeed constantly changing, but as a real soldier, no matter where he is, there will always be challenges. Belong to their own battlefield.

Once again he willingly stood up for the world, and with his new teammates...  

Just like during World War II, he also led the partners of the Roaring Commando to fight desperately against different enemies.

"After so many years, I finally have another partner who can fight side by side."

He sighed slightly in his heart, but even though what he was thinking seemed to be something worthy of joy, his expression was always lonely and nostalgic.

It is precisely because of these complicated thoughts and subtle inner struggles.

When he received Tony Stark's invitation to 'move into the Avengers Mansion' again, he still hesitated.

Of course, unlike other comrades-in-arms with full of personality, such as Hawkeye and Black Widow, they have been procrastinating not to live in the Avengers Building simply because they are used to being alone and depressed because they don't want to live in a group.

Steve just vaguely felt that...

Moving this time, for me, is not just as simple as moving a house.

Move from the original 70s home that was copied by S.H.I.E.L.D. to the modern Avengers Mansion.

This seems to mean that he has slowly come out of the old world of the past, and began to try to integrate into a brand new team, which is also a brand new world.

So, before that, it seems like a good choice to go back to Brooklyn to bid farewell to the past.

Moreover, he does have some curiosity about the way the government treats veterans in the 21st century.

For these reasons he readily accepted Sam's offer.

The two of them had just arrived at the Brooklyn Veteran's Hospital and briefly talked about the construction of the hospital's facilities, when Pooh called.

The always lively and optimistic boy mentioned his unlucky relationship in a low tone.

Then, he repented sadly and angrily said: "Actually, I was really impatient, and I shouldn't have said Harry so harshly. But compared to 'after resisting, due to weak strength and unfortunate failure', I really hate his kind Not even trying, just because his father gave up immediately after saying a word... Sigh, this made me feel bad."

Steve was even less good at relationship matters.

Therefore, he tried hard to recall the examples around him, and suddenly suggested, "Why don't you find another one?"

Pooh was silent on the phone for a long time.

After a while, he said with mixed emotions: "If the person who said this was not you, I must think that the other party is sending me some kind of invitation. But to be honest, if my father... I mean , I am absolutely not surprised that my biological father said it, but I think it is natural. But I am a little uncomfortable when I say it from your mouth. "

"Uh……"

Steve couldn't help laughing, and explained embarrassingly: "Actually, I used to have a good friend who grew up with him, and he always said that. If you lose love, then find another... There are some similar Where is there no fragrant grass at the end of the world?"

"That's actually quite true."

Pooh sighed, but didn't intend to bring it up any further.

It's a good thing to confide in your broken love to your friends once in a while for some comfort, but if you talk about it endlessly, it will be annoying.

Pooh sensibly put an end to it, and brought the topic back: "Actually, I didn't come to you just to complain."

He tried to pull himself together on the phone and said cheerfully, "Steve, I have a great job for you! But don't be too surprised!"

Steve asked in surprise, "Work?"

"Yes, you will be the protagonist of "Jurassic Park Part n" soon, surprise?"

Pooh announced loudly.

Then, he continued enthusiastically: "I'll send you the address and contact number of the crew later, you must remember to report it. This drama has always been very popular. If you participate, you will definitely have a bright future. Listen to me, Steve, this will be the starting point of your future acting career! The beginning! The most critical moment!"

"What? The protagonist? Me?"

Steve asked dumbfounded.

"It's definitely better than working hard on a small crew that doesn't even have [-]th-tier stars! Well, don't thank me, we are good friends!"

Pooh put on an air of doing good deeds anonymously.

In order to avoid Steve's rejection and excessive thanks, he also hung up the phone directly.

"My bastard father, finally did a good thing."

Pooh thought in a rare joyful mood: "Steve is a good man with integrity, and a good man should be rewarded."

"Thank you, Dad."

He couldn't help saying to Tony: "Thanks to your help, Steve can be the protagonist."

"You're welcome."

Tony smiled and said, "Who told my son to ask me for help?"

"I can't wait to see the hero played by Steve, he must be very handsome!" Pooh said expectantly.

"But he's not the hero." Tony replied in surprise.

"What? You told me clearly that he belongs to the protagonist!?"

"That's right, but the protagonist of "Jurassic Park"...is a dinosaur!"

"What, what did you say!"

"Dinosaurs! In more detail, the protagonist of this movie should be... Found it!"

Tony said proudly: "The role I arranged for him is very good, the top predator-T-Rex!"

There was a soft sound of 'flutter'.

The little flame of family love that Pooh had so hard to ignite was extinguished in an instant.

When he was struggling with how to explain this misunderstanding to Steve... on the other side...

"Steve, why are you in a daze?"

Sam came over, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Everyone is queuing up to get the flu vaccine. This vaccine looks pretty good. It's sponsored by Osborne Enterprises. As long as it's a veteran, it's all free. By the way, I remember that you also have a veteran's card, do you want to get an injection too?"
