After asking about the specific contact process between Angus and Natalia and some basic information about Angus, Nick pointed out that he needed a period of observation to confirm that Angus was indeed as Steve said. Harmless' will do.

"Observation?" Steve frowned, "How do you want to observe?"

"I prefer that you don't know about this part." Nick deliberately didn't hide his desire to monitor secretly.

"It's just..." Steve stopped after reflexively speaking, "...well, goodluckwithyourwatg."

If you can really see something.

Nick was a little disappointed by his bland response.

"Are you sure that the mermaids, vampires, and werewolves you mentioned are all races other than humans and not...um, mutant②?" Howard cautiously asked for confirmation.

"I don't know about vampires and werewolves, but Angus is just different from us." Steve frowned.

Howard raised his eyebrows and looked at Peggy.

"He, maybe he doesn't know about mutants." Peggy guessed.

"Oh, that's indeed possible." Howard understood.

"Steve, Howard doesn't mean that Angus is a monster. He just wants to make sure that Angus is not... well, you can understand it as an evolved human being." Peggy explained.

"In fact, there are theories that some variants contain atavistic tendencies." Howard added rigorously.

"Right..." Peggy dragged her voice, feeling a little helpless, and continued, "If mutants are involved, we may have to share information with the CIA."

Nick frowned this time.

Obviously, conflicts between different agencies still exist.

"...evolution, atavism? What?" Steve felt like he was starting to lose track of the rhythm.

"Three years ago, the mutants first—" Peggy opened her mouth.

"It's not too late to make up the history class later," Howard interrupted Peggy, "Cap, you are sure that Angus' existence is not an exception, are you?"

Steve pondered for a moment: "...At least as far as I know, they all have their own groups.

Although it is certainly not comparable to the number of humans, it should not be an exception. "

"So the form of community existence is stable, completely different from humans, and has nothing to do with evolution or atavism?" Howard got a little closer, and Steve straightened his back.

"Yes—" Steve suppressed his doubts, "I don't think Angus is an evolved human being."

"I don't know exactly when their history goes back, but I don't think we evolved on the same branch as them."

"I'm guessing it might be more like... when some sea creatures come ashore, others stay in the sea." Steve hesitated, "but this is just my personal guess."

Nick was silent for a while and said: "Are you sure they only live in the sea? After all, Karen is on the shore, isn't it?"

Steve was a little uncomfortable with the underlying meaning of his words: "They don't like land and air. Angus is stuck on the shore because of me."

Nick and Steve looked at each other, there was no escape in those blue eyes, and Nick looked away first.

I have no way to ask any more questions from Steve, even if I deliberately provoke him to defend Angus, he will not be fooled at all.

"I knew it!" Howard didn't know the hidden temptations and defenses between them, so he just punched hard, "You all said that I just happened to meet a mutant with unknown abilities, and I knew it was definitely not that simple! "

He became very agitated.

"Did you hear that? Mermaids are real, and they have their own race, more than one!" He stood up straight away, circling the room, "I'm not crazy!"

"What I met was a mermaid, or a siren!"

Steve... Howard would never know that it was Angus who attacked his ship, and Nick couldn't know.

"Cap! I need to know more about him." Howard's eyes lit up.

"I may not be able to help you with this, because I don't know everything about them. It was not long ago that Angus and I were able to talk normally, and I have never met other sirens." Steve Husband expressed regret.

"So, what is an evolved human being?"

When Howard wanted to continue asking, Steve quickly changed the subject.

This is a skill developed when dealing with Angus.

Peggy explained along the way: "Yes, it's mutant. This word is no longer just referring to monsters or aliens. It is used as a general term for a relatively small group of us humans."

Steve didn't feel confused at all, and was even more confused.

"So, after I slept for 30 years, humans evolved...??" Steve hesitantly came to a conclusion.

It wasn't like the evolution theory he had learned.

"No one has a firm conclusion on when this 'evolution' started." Peggy smiled. "Maybe it's because of the various pollutions from World War II, maybe it started thousands of years ago, we're not sure."

"But the first time mutants appeared in the public eye as a definite fact was three years ago, the day after the Vietnam War ③ announced the armistice conference, a female mutant with blue body, red hair and thick yellow pupils was killed When it was caught on camera."

"And, six days later, under the public eye, an even bigger accident caused by mutants happened."

"Wow—" Steve sighed, "I really need to read the newspapers in 45 years."

"If necessary, I can put together a briefing for you that needs attention."

"……thanks."

Steve thought of what Angus had inadvertently said about them before.

Judging the difference only with eyes, very perfunctory race, even unable to distinguish internal differences.

...He wouldn't have known that there were special existences in the human race, right?

Steve looked weird for a second, maybe he really knew...

I always feel that Angus knows much more about the world than human beings.

So maybe it wasn't his fault that he thought he and Bucky were stupid.

"Why do you think Angus is a mutant? They look alike?" Steve asked.

"Because the mutants known so far either have very special abilities or have a different appearance from ordinary people, or both exist at the same time." Howard interjected, "Some superficially are exactly like us, but they can use magnetism to manipulate metal, or control others brains; some will have very distinctive features. Such as blue skin, special pupils, and can turn into any face in the world, including body shape and voice."

"That's really..." Steve didn't know what to say, "It's not common."

"Speaking of which," Paige seemed to think of something, "Given your weird luck, wait a minute, I might need to ask you if you just happened to meet a man."

"He's now the most wanted man by various agencies."

"I wish I hadn't." Steve took a deep breath, wishing sincerely.

"boom--"

The door was slammed open, and Bucky, who was going downstairs to pick up Angus, rushed through the door: "Steve! Bad news——"

Steve looked at his empty back and closed his eyes: "Oh, eon—"

"Angus is gone." Bucky smiled wryly.

really.

Steve felt his head go cold for a moment.

He remembered the countless times that Angus had followed someone who didn't know where he had experienced countless times when he didn't pay attention.

After I told him a few times, the symptoms got better.

So good that I forgot to tell Bucky.

After getting up, he ran downstairs, and the rest of the people followed.

Although he felt that the possibility of Angus' accident was very small, when Steve looked at the empty house with no signs of struggle or damage, he still wanted to grab Angus for a certain moment and slapped him hard. ...Say a word.

After all, it is very difficult to end the fight.

"It doesn't seem to be kidnapping?" Nick panted slightly, looked into the room, and concluded.

"Angus has zero defense against people he trusts." Steve shot him a look.

He could bear it just now, but now this person makes him feel very annoyed.

Nick twitched his eyebrows, didn't continue to speak, but seized the opportunity to observe the room.

"Steve—" Bucky pulled a sticky note from behind the door and called out to Steve.

"What?" Steve took the post-it note.

"I went out on a date with my little brother, dontbejealous④."

Steve...

Squeezing the sticky note tightly, he frowned: "Did they talk about going out before you went upstairs?"

"No, Angus only said to be a kennel." Bucky's face didn't look any better.

After all, people were lost under his protection.

"Do you think she will..." Bucky hesitated to speak.

"Natalia has seen what Angus can do, she is not stupid." So Steve couldn't figure out why Natalia would choose this time to do such a thing, as if she wanted to draw attention deliberately.

why?

Nick glances at Steve, which Steve, preoccupied with him, doesn't notice.

"It's less than 10 minutes now, and Angus's walking is very slow. He can't go very far in this time. The main road where you can get a taxi is not close..." Steve thought for a while , quickly arranged, "Howard, can you stay in the building and watch in case we miss them?"

Howard ran up the stairs. From the seventh floor to the third floor, he was already out of breath, so he only supported his knees and made an OK gesture.

"Peggy—"

"I'm in charge of the north side." Peggy answered.

"Don't confront, Peggy." Steve was a little worried.

"I'm not that old yet." Peggy rolled her eyes and walked out quickly.

"...I didn't...that's what I meant..." Steve smacked his lips as he looked at the leaving figure.

"I'm going south." Bucky patted him on the shoulder and left.

Steve stood there for a while, hands on hips, helpless.

"I'll stay here." Nick said lightly.

Steve glanced at him and left.

Not mentioning Steve and their busyness, Angus was holding a book, looking at Natalia next to him, um, Natasha: "This?"

"Hmm." Natasha nodded.

They were standing in the children's book section of the bookstore, and the two of them were mixed in a pile of radish heads in front of a large pile of picture books.

Angus flipped through the book in his hand, and then looked at the title - "Carpentry for Parents and Children".

Next door are several books such as "My Carpenter Dad" and "What Will I Do When I Grow Up-Constructor".

He has seen Steve buy books, but he always feels that the content seems to be different.Did he buy so many paintings?

"Let's go, let's go, it's okay, go back and find Steve, he will teach you." Natasha smiled broadly, and took Angus out with her hands on Angus' shoulders.

Calculating the time, they should have discovered that Angus was gone, Natasha thought.

"Angus, do you want to eat?" After paying the bill, Natasha took the bag and stepped onto the motorcycle parked at the door, and handed the other helmet to Angus.

Angus put on his helmet and sat on the back seat, thinking for a while: "Your candy."

"Candy?" Natasha raised her eyebrows, "You just want candy."

Angus hummed, but Steve refused to let him eat.

"Well, there's an ice cream shop nearby, do you want to go?" Natasha suggested.

"What's that?" Angus asked curiously.

"It's cold and delicious, do you want to eat it?" Natasha asked temptingly.

"Yes." Angus immediately agreed.

"Then sit still and hold my sister tight." Natasha smiled.

Angus put his arms around her waist.

The motorcycle roared and quickly left the spot.

So Steve, who has been going back and forth on the 11th road, successfully forgot that Natasha might have a transportation option. He didn't realize this problem until he was sure that there was no trace of Angus around.

After paying a few dollars and asking the homeless man on the side of the road, Steve looked annoyed.

He actually rode a motorcycle!Don't even bother to pretend!

Running back to the apartment building, Steve borrowed the car keys from Howard, drove the car and chased the homeless man in the direction he pointed.

Nick, who stayed in Natasha's apartment, was flipping through her things very ungentlemanly, and even half-closed the door to prevent anyone from seeing him searching.

He didn't touch the tape-sealed cardboard box directly, but he was not polite to the stack of scattered letters piled up on the shoe cabinet in the entrance.

Soon, with his keen intuition and experience in intelligence work, he quickly found several letters and postcards that were obviously abnormal and abrupt.

He took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and quickly copied down the numbers, paragraphs, and the codes of several postcards.

After memorizing the scenery picture on the postcard and making sure he hadn't missed it, he restored the letter to its original appearance.

The shoe cabinet, the conspicuous sofa in the living room, checked everywhere, and after confirming that he couldn't find any more clues, he observed the structure of the suite and the location of the entire apartment building.

After confirming a few possible observation points in his heart, Nick left the apartment.

The ice cream shop is open air, near a small music square, and there are several sheds in front of a food truck.

There are six tables in total, and three tables are occupied.

Natasha asked for two balls, chocolate and vanilla, and pushed them in front of Angus.

"I don't know what you like, these two are the most basic, you can try." Natasha looked at Angus with her cheeks on her hands.

Angus grabbed the spoon and took a sip, his eyes lit up quickly after he put it into his mouth.

"Delicious?" Natasha curled her lips.

"Yes." Angus nodded.

After solving the two goals, Angus couldn't get enough.

"Want to try other flavors?" Faced with Angus's wholehearted trust, Natasha, who had taken advantage of him, couldn't help being a little conniving.

"Yes." Angus replied without hesitation.

"This time I'll get you some raisins." Natasha got up and walked to the window of the dining car.

Angus smacked his lips and began to feel flustered.

The author has something to say: ... I wish you a smooth surveillance ... [Even the annotations feel weird...]

②Here, Rongdi is the line after the fork man reversed the future, and mutants began to appear in the public eye~ just to introduce mutants, mainly professors, hahahaha, don't get entangled in the original plot.
