[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

"A lot of times, I really, really didn't understand what he was thinking," Kelly said.She was lying on the bed, resting her chin on her hands and looking at the spell book in front of her, with her legs crossed in the air. In front of the bed, Steve was painting on the drawing paper, "Do you think Bucky has changed?"

"...no," Steve said. "Okay, you can put your legs down, Kelly."

Kelly threw her legs on the bed. "That's not my illusion," she said, "but Bucky is really trying to alienate me."

She and Bucky both go to NYU now, Kelly in Russian and Bucky in physics and astronomy, just as he had told Kelly years ago.Instead of going to art school, Steve became an illustrator, occasionally selling paintings to supplement his family's income.However, the relationship between Kelly and Steve, Bucky and Steve has not changed, but she and Bucky have become more and more estranged.Kelly doesn't know if this is her own illusion, or Bucky is avoiding her on purpose - he does it very subtle, not obvious, and treats her as if it were the same, if it were a real ordinary friend, he might not notice it .But for a girl who is deeply in love, even this slight change cannot escape her feeling.

"Honestly, I don't understand why Bucky would do that," Steve said. "He doesn't have a girlfriend yet. You don't have a boyfriend either—even to avoid suspicion, I mean, we haven't avoided it in all these years." No, don't you? I don't think it's necessary."

"Yeah, I don't understand even more." Kelly said, "I also thought that he just doesn't like me, but I always don't feel like it-not that I am passionate, but sometimes I feel that he looks at me. look at me..."

"No," Steve said firmly. "Sometimes Bucky looks at you in the way that makes me wish I could meet a girl who makes me look that way."

"When you say this to a girl, it means that you really don't know how to approach girls." Kelly laughed, thinking of Peggy in her heart, and she sincerely hoped that in the history that she changed so much, Steve and Peggy won't have another tragic ending, "You're going to meet the girl you're meant to be, Steve. Just have to wait."

"Is this consolation? Or a witch's prophecy?" Steve asked as he wrote.

"If it's consolation, I'll just grab you and fly around in the sky. This is a prophecy." Kelly said.Speaking of Peggy, she can't help but think of the Strategic Science Reserve SSR in the movie, and she doesn't know if this unit has been established now-Bill said that Howard Stark's research on the Rubik's Cube has made a lot of progress, but His rank is not high enough to have access to such secrets as the SSR.

Maybe not yet?After all, the war hasn't started yet.It is now 1938, and it has been five years since Kelly came to this world. The current head of state of Germany is Himmler, who she failed to assassinate. Although Kelly's assassination brought some confusion to the Nazi Party, But she could feel the clouds of war still slowly gathering over Europe.After all, this war was demanded by the whole of Germany, and her assassination of a few people was not enough to stop the progress of history.

Himmler's ruling policy is of course very different from Hitler's, but it can be said that they have the same goal by different routes.If Germany starts a war, it is very likely that the genocide will be carried out again, and the number of people that Kelly and Bill can save is very limited.And the subsequent attack on Pearl Harbor... She was already thinking about when she would have a showdown with Howard.To be honest, Kelly is not worried that her and Bill's wizard identities will be exposed to the government. You must know that the future Captain America has experienced the painful journey of first being a laboratory mouse and then becoming a singing and dancing star, and the government will not only be a wizard. It is so kind to force them to become singing and dancing stars.On the other hand, her history is not learned in detail. The two Captain America movies in her memory are far from enough to convince the government to prepare for the war in advance, and it will also involve Steve and Bucky in many troubles. Kelly Don't want that.

But if it's just revealed to Howard, there should be no problem.With the help of his power, they can avoid more tragic tragedies in advance.There is also Dr. Erskine, who is now under surveillance. Kelly tentatively showed up once, but the doctor refused to leave the motherland, so she had to use the forgetting spell to erase the memory of their meeting when she left.She suspects that the doctor will not easily abandon the motherland until he is helpless, but at that point, I am afraid that Kelly alone may not be able to find a chance to take him away, and even more so with the help of Howard...

She was thinking about these things, and she couldn't help being distracted until she heard Steve call her: "Kelly, I've finished the drawing. Kelly?"

"Ah? Oh." Kelly turned over on the bed, changed her position, sat on the bed and stretched her sore shoulders and neck. Steve asked her while looking at the final painting: "What are you thinking?" ?”

"Think about how to save the world," Kelly said.

"Couldn't it be—" Steve didn't even make a sound, and he received Kelly's stare, and he shrugged innocently: "Please, Kelly, I really want to help."

"Thanks." Kelly waved her hand weakly, "I will let you know if I have any progress, although I doubt how often I can let you know."

"I'll take the initiative to ask you too." Steve said, "Please don't be so distressed, Kelly, you are very beautiful, there must be many boys chasing you."

"Yeah, guess who I have my eye on." Kelly spread her hands.

To be honest, she wasn't even sure when she fell in love with Bucky.True, they struck off immediately, but for many years Kelly thought they were simply going to be good friends, like she had with Bill and Steve.Until her year, when Steve mentioned that Bucky didn't ask her to be his prom partner, Kelly's heart suddenly blocked.It wasn't until the way home that she figured out what that feeling was—jealousy.She was jealous of the girl she had probably never even met.

Kelly stopped on the way home, a little startled.She checked that there was no one around, and simply Apparated back home.As soon as she stood firm, she raised her wand: "Call God to protect you!"

She hadn't used the spell in a long time.Silver-white mist gushed out from the tip of the wand and transformed into shape around her. A slender and flexible silver-white deer circled around her briskly a few times, lowered its head and arched her hand, and disappeared out of the window.

Kelly kept raising her wand and stayed there for a few seconds until Bill walked in from the kitchen.

"Kelly?"

Kelly looked up at him, talking in a daze, as if she herself had been frightened by herself.

"I'm in love, Bill," she said in disbelief.

"You know, if this happened to Ginny," Bill said, "I might just tie that boy up and make him fall in love with my sister."

"To be honest, I don't know if I should sympathize with your sister or the boy she likes." Kelly knew he was joking, so she rolled her eyes, "Besides, if I can stay in this world forever, I say Maybe Bucky is tied up by now."

She was just joking, and Bill gave her an elbow lightly: "I don't know good people."

"Don't worry about me, haven't you found the girl you love?" Kelly said leisurely, "I heard that there are quite a few girls chasing you in Stark Industries."

Bill spread his hands: "It's just not suitable." He said, "By the way, didn't you foresee a lot of things-did I fall in love in your foresight?"

"Married," Kelly said, giggling at Bill's surprised expression, "Really, I kid you not."

"Who?" Bill asked curiously.

Kelly thought for a while, and felt that it would be okay to tell the other party, "You two met in - originally when Harry was in the fourth grade, when Hogwarts held the Triwizard Tournament -"

"Triwizard Tournament?!" Bill yelled.

"Yeah, don't get excited." Kelly said with a smile, "Her name is Fleur Delacour, the champion of Beauxbatons. Enough to tell you so much."

"Enough," Bill said. "Hey, I really don't need to tie Bucky here?"

Kelly returned the elbow.

"Kelly? Wait a minute."

Bucky waved to his classmates, and walked aside with Kelly, "What's wrong?"

"Just checking with you," Kelly said, mouth dry, "Bucky, do you like me?"

Bucky let out a startled sound, which sounded a bit like the sound of a baby bird being strangled, "Wh-did anyone tell you that I like you?"

"It's just a rumor." Kelly didn't think of any excuses at first, but since Bucky himself brought it up, she followed suit, "I think it's best to ask you to confirm."

"Oh—you don't have to pay attention to rumors," Bucky said, licking his lips. "You'll always be my best friend, Kelly."

"Yeah," Kelly said, with a smile, "and you too."

Strangely, she didn't feel sad, nor did she feel heavy.She just felt a huge emptiness suddenly and suddenly, the dust settled.

"He said he didn't like me, Steve."

"It's impossible—!" Steve almost jumped up, "Is there some misunderstanding between you?"

"I went to ask him directly, 'Do you like me', and then he showed a look of being scared to death by me, and asked me if I had heard any rumors, and I said I just wanted to check with him. Then he said that there is no need to care Rumor has it, 'You will always be my best friend'." Kelly put a quotation mark in the air, quoting Bucky's words, "If there is a line in this conversation that can be misunderstood, please do tell me , Steve."

"Maybe... maybe he's just embarrassed to say it to you?" Steve said, "I can ask you again."

"If you confessed to a girl you liked, Steve," Kelly sighed a little annoyed, "after getting an answer like that, would you ask someone else to ask it again?"

Steve sighed too, shaking his head.He didn't bring up the subject again.

"Come to my house for dinner today, Kelly? Mom's making jam tarts today."

"I guess Bucky finally has a girlfriend," Kelly said.

"What?" Steve was taken aback. "He didn't even tell me."

"Not officially, but I guess it's pretty close," Kelly said. "Her name is Nina."

Steve gave her a hesitant look, as if he didn't know whether to comfort her or say nothing.Kelly understood his embarrassment and asked, "Do you want to meet her?"

Steve hesitated: "If there is a chance."

"She is also from New York University, and there will be a dance at school next weekend." Kelly said, "Would you like to go with me?"
