Titan's headquarters basically moved to Detroit, and only part of the legal department was kept in New York, so the entire villa was basically vacated. Before Lucy and Bucky went to the suburbs to cut a Christmas tree, she originally wanted to I called everyone to decorate the Christmas tree together, but after being disturbed by the sentinel, everyone lost the mood.

The mutants had retreated to the Academy for Young Geniuses, and they had taken the Sentinels, and Tony looked devastated.

"I said, have you really enjoyed being a father?" Lucy hung a colorful ball on the Christmas tree, Tony sat under the Christmas tree, he looked sleepy, Bucky kicked his ass, He rolled away without a word.

Bucky blinked narrowly: "I heard that Howard also got married to Maria after he knew he had Tony. Maybe making Tony feel like a father can calm him down." He whispered to Lucy Said, "But considering the other dad is Lex Luthor, I feel kind of sick."

While talking, Lex actually appeared in Titan, and he smiled awkwardly in response to all the hostile gazes cast on him.Steve stood beside him, looking up at him, and Lex walked up to Lucy, whining, "I'm so sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

"Although I really want you to go back to Washington." Lucy began to grind her teeth, "but today is Christmas, find a place where no one is around, and wait for egg bars."

Lex was gone immediately, probably the only good thing about Luthor was being rich and being able to read words.

Steve took the decoration box from Bucky and helped him hang a small snowflake. Bucky asked him to stay for Christmas Eve, but Steve refused for a while, and then Bucky dragged him to the other side of the Christmas tree. He went to a place where Lucy couldn't see, and said something in Steve's ear. Steve smiled, squinted his eyes slightly, and said softly: "I will never miss such an important moment." ,I wish you success."

Bucky thumped his strong chest: "I've never missed a shot, do I still need your blessing?"

Then he escapes without Lucy noticing.

"Bucky!" Lucy held up a gold star, "We've got to put this thing on top of the Christmas tree!"

Bucky had long since disappeared, and Lucy pouted angrily, "This slacker! Where did he go?"

Steve took the star from Lucy's hand, scratched his head, and said to him from left to right: "Maybe I'm going to buy beer."

After climbing up the ladder, almost all the girls present ran over and gathered around Lucy and stared at their vice president from bottom to top, and Pepper was no exception.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

"Of course it's those upturned buttocks and strong muscles." Little Pepper said, she whispered into Lucy's ear, and she secretly flipped a Twitter for Lucy, a well-known men's magazine selected the sexiest of the year It's unprecedented for a man to rank Steve first. The editor's comment on him can be summed up in two words—perfect.

Wonder Woman tilted her head, looked at the former Captain America who was working hard on the Christmas tree with a smile, and said something to the Black Widow, and the two laughed happily.

Tony took another ladder sourly and climbed up, pretending to arrange the Christmas tree on the other side. Pepper rolled his eyes at Tony's childlike comparison behavior, and turned to arrange the dining table with a soft snort.Tony's sourness grew stronger, and he muttered unwillingly: "How can someone be liked by everyone, as if he can never do anything wrong?"

"Why do everyone listen to you, trust you wholeheartedly, and regard you as a symbol of justice? That's what you think in your heart, right?" Steve put gold stars on the top of the Christmas tree, leaning on the ladder frame, Crossing his hands and crossing his chest, he looked at Tony with a half-smile, "It seems that not everyone likes me."

Tony shook his head unwillingly: "Although you helped me fool this matter, don't expect me to thank you much."

"I don't think you did anything wrong, it's a great invention." Steve said, "You just offended the mutant race, and in terms of biological science and artificial intelligence, you... also go too fast .”

Tony raised his eyebrows high: "I know why you are so cute now, can you say something nice to everyone?"

Steve rolled his eyes: "Howard has studied Hydra's weapons and provided them to the Strategic Science Corps and the Roaring Commandos. Even the energy supply system of Iron Man's armor is based on his previous research. .And before he got the Hydra's weapons, will anyone carefully study what kind of experiments the Hydra's weapons were produced?"

Tony didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be comforted by the old man.

"Someone has to make a difference in this world." Steve said softly, Lucy interrupted their conversation, she was below with her hips akimbo, accusing them of being lazy, Steve patted Tony's Shoulder, jump off the ladder, "I want to hear you talk about your nanobots."

Tony said a lot of academic terms unpreparedly, and he guessed that Steve couldn't understand, but the other party listened very carefully, as if he really understood.Tony found himself liking the old guy a little too, and despite his paternal vendetta, if he wanted to run for president, he wouldn't hesitate to spend a lot of money on him.

Tony couldn't stop when he mentioned nanobots. He walked to the other side of the room and called Bruce Banner to join the scientific discussion team. Then Luthor finally found an opportunity to interject and joined their circle. The three tech guys talked about engineering, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology, but Steve seemed to have no chance to intervene, and he didn't know what to say. Lucy couldn't help but want to rescue him, but That's when Wayne walked into the hall, with unmelted snowflakes on his shoulders.

Wonder Woman walked over and asked him something in a low voice, Wayne shook his head.

Lucy looked behind him: "Where's Clark?"

Wayne sighed: "He left."

Once again, Clark Kent chose to escape. As long as he wanted to leave, he could escape to any corner of the world and become anyone. If the United States cannot accept him, maybe other places can, but he will not wait to put his own Names are written on the alien registry.

"He'll be back." Lucy could only comfort Wayne in this way.

"Hopefully."

The unhappiness that happened one after another was soon filled by cocktails and exquisite snacks. It was snowing outside the window, and the lawn seemed to be covered with a thick layer of cotton. Lucy looked anxiously for Bucky. Bucky said he On the terrace, when Lucy walked out onto the terrace puffing.

With a bang, a firework exploded in front of her eyes, and the flames shot out like shooting stars in the night sky, weaving a gorgeous scroll, and people gathered around, they walked out of the house or came to the terrace to watch the firework.

Bucky jumps over them in a ridiculous Santa suit, with a sticky white beard, carrying a sack full of presents, throwing presents to everyone like a real Santa Claus, and then finally he goes from A neat little box emerged from the bottom of the bag.

He walked up to Lucy, ripped off his funny clothes, and took off his beard. His glassy eyes reflected the fireworks in the sky.

Slowly, he knelt down on one knee, like a knight paying homage to the queen.The surrounding crowd retreated in a circle with a huff.

Lucy held her breath, the hustle and bustle of the whole world was far away from her, and she saw the fireworks and her shadow reflected in Bucky's glassy eyes.

"My first 90 years were gaining and losing, mostly being pushed around by the world, I was lost and empty, until I met you. You had everything I wanted, the best place in the world is every day I can't think of a place more like heaven than when you woke up next morning." Bucky opened the locket, and a diamond ring was lying on dark blue velvet. When I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I just want the rest of mine to come as soon as possible. So, marry me, Lucy Long?"

The crowd fell silent, and everyone was waiting for Lucy's answer.

"Of course, what a silly question." Lucy's eyes sparkled, "I love you, Bucky."

Bucky put the ring on Lucy's finger, and Lucy hugged Bucky's neck like a crazy girl and let him spin her in circles, screaming "I love you" loudly, repeating it over and over again, she crisply Laughter infected everyone.

Pepo let out a loud sob, and everyone looked at her with a lot of laughter. Pepo wiped his tears and defended: "I can't help but cry when someone proposes!"

Wayne and Diana applauded gently on the outside of the crowd. They didn't expect that Lucy would be the first one in the Justice League to get married. At this moment, they wished her well from the bottom of their hearts.

"Ah! On your head." Diana said suddenly, Wayne raised his head subconsciously, and a Christmas decoration decorated with mistletoe was hung on the porch above their heads. Girl kisses.Wayne hesitated for a moment, and the woman's clear breath brushed his lips. Diana quickly and decisively ended a kiss. This kiss drove away all the haze, and Wayne, who hadn't shown his face for a long time, also gently Raised the corners of his lips.

Diana spotted this slight change in expression on Wayne's face, and she turned her head gracefully, continuing to clap as if what had just happened was just a glimpse.She saw Steve standing outside the wall of congratulatory people, he didn't need to say any congratulatory words, he just made a few simple gestures to Bucky, and Bucky understood everything.

Bucky gave Steve an OK gesture, Steve blinked and nodded, he said something to Luthor, and slowly withdrew from the crowd, leaving Titan, Rumlow stood on the street While waiting for him in the snow, the cold didn't make the former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent flinch. Steve looked at his watch: "Let's go back to the White House."

When Steve returned to his office, he found that it was almost midnight, the lights in the president's office were on, he couldn't help knocking on the door, and the president was struggling to revise the speech of the State of the Union.

"I thought you were supposed to be with your family today," Steve said. "Christmas Eve shouldn't be alone."

"My wife has already complained once, but this State of the Union speech has to be revised today." The president took off his glasses, and he also seemed a little tired of his work. He pulled a cigar from a paper box, "Do you smoke?"

Steve declined.

The president lay on his soft sofa to make his posture more comfortable. Steve walked around the wool carpet with the American national emblem on it. The motto of the five American pioneers was printed on the outer circle of the carpet. He stepped lightly on Martin Luther King's quote from his predecessor Theodore: "The arc across the moral universe is long, but it is biased toward justice." Stepped on Kennedy's sentence: " There is no question of the fate of man that man cannot solve." Eventually he stops at Franklin D. Roosevelt's: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." That maxim.

"It was left by the former president. I didn't change it. I hate everything about the former president, but this rug is the only one that suits me." The president puffed out a smoke ring, "I've wanted to be here since I was ten years old. Thinking that I want to be president, I want to lead the United States into a new future like Washington, and I promised during the campaign that I would give voters a real government of the people for the people."

The president stopped, and Steve walked over to the leather chair behind the desk. He sat down, leaned against the edge of the table, raised his feet, and turned the chair slightly, while lying on the sofa and smoking. The president didn't even notice that Steve was sitting in his seat "outrageously".

"When I actually came in, I started thinking about how to keep this position, I thought about the re-election in two years, I was thinking about how to deal with the old stubborn in the Senate and the crazy people in the House, and then... I forgot what I was here for. It’s over.” The smoke was blurred, and the president walked through the smoke, as if he saw himself in high spirits a few years ago, and next to him was his former vice president, who he once really regarded as a partner, “I looked at the first draft of the State of the Union address, I I’m actually a little fortunate that I didn’t do nothing this year. But it’s still too little, I failed, and I’m not a good president.”

The president sighed, and he made his next important decision.

"Steve, I don't want to run anymore, but you should go. You will be a president that the American people really need. You will not bow to partisanship and interests, and you will not lose your way. You will give us a real s future."

Steve stood up from his seat quietly, and he used the president's pen to help him revise the remaining content of the State of the Union address, and threw it on the president's chest: "Mr. President, I wish you a successful State of the Union speech .”
