[US Team + Avengers] The hero is the US team

This is a very ordinary day, the weather is not particularly good, nor is it particularly bad, the war is still going on, as if there is no end in sight-everything is as usual every day.

Barnes stepped out of the tent, saw Steve standing in the distance, and walked towards him.It wasn't until he got close to his best friend that Barnes didn't seem to see anything, and it wasn't until he touched Steve's arm that he realized he was right next to him.

"Hi, Bucky." He greeted as usual, and even gave him a little smile.

Bucky said nothing.

He knew that the girl had just been buried yesterday, under an oak tree not far from here.Anyone who is a little familiar with Captain America is very aware of this, because yesterday he was seen by many people when he returned to the camp with Lucia Ryan in his arms.

In fact, when it comes to Lucia Ryan, a girl who is not unfamiliar, Barnes is not very clear about how she died, because he heard that no fatal injuries were found on her body, so people can only Making speculations about HYDRA's nefarious human experiments - just as they do with their captives.He felt sorry for her, but also for his best friend.

She was buried by Captain America himself - in fact, at this time, it is very rare for a dead person to be buried.Not to mention having a decent headstone—hers, too, made by Steve himself, with a simple sentence—"Her spirit left here"—and her name engraved on it.At that moment Barnes looked at Steve, he was silent, his expression was not mournful, but it made people dare not look into his eyes, he seemed to see a tormented soul, as if all this was just a shell, the real bleeding It is the soul out of the body.

He looks at Steve, searching for words of reassurance, but before he can say anything, Steve says, "Thank you, Bucky."

Bucky pats him on the shoulder hard, like he'd done to the little guy from Brooklyn before.He didn't say much because he knew Steve understood.He also knew that words could not alleviate the pain that was pressing on this friend's heart, and no one could provide any help to this kind of thing, only time, and time would solve all this.

Hopefully it won't be too long, he thought.

Steve patted Bucky on the shoulder as well.Today was no different from usual. They looked at each other and walked towards today's battle side by side.

"Later, Captain America lost his best partner, James Barnes, in a battle. From then on, he will miss him forever... In the final battle, he still bravely faced the mighty enemy, In the end, I will die together with the evil." A gentle and low female voice said slowly.

"Brave and unyielding..." Little John unconsciously grabbed the sheet under the quilt and repeated this word, which was a bit long for him. Then he raised his head and asked his mother: "And then? What happened next?"

Joanna closed the storybook in her hand and said patiently: "Then we ushered in peace."

"Did we win Mommy?"

"We won, of course." Joanna stood up, ending the bedtime story, and said, "It's time for you to sleep, baby. You're pretty tired today."

Little John stood up and asked: "Captain America is a hero, right Mom?"

Joanna replied: "Of course it is - go to sleep, forget our agreement? Get up on time for a week, a set of Captain America models."

"Of course." John replied crisply, and then returned to his bed like the most obedient baby, and pulled the quilt up to his chin, revealing a small face with eyes tightly closed, "Good night, Mom."

"Good night, baby." Joanna turned off the light by his bed, put the storybook where it was, and walked out of the little boy's room.Going to the living room—she lived alone, without a host—turned on the TV, and sighed tiredly and relaxed on the sofa.

The TV was turned down to very low so she didn't notice the news about the "Arctic Ice Archaeological Digging" and she was just enjoying the rare moment of the day that was all to herself... No loans, work pressure, son endless and the ambiguity with her neighbor Johnson (she hasn't decided whether to date him), Joanna completely let herself go for a while, then turned off the TV and turned on the computer.The faint light quietly reflected on her face, and Joanna started typing. She had dreamed of writing a novel a long time ago. Maybe, she secretly thought, she is the next JK Rowling...

----

New York is still running day by day. Sometimes, the city is like a cold machine, and sometimes she seems so tender-at least for middle-class single mother Joanna.And for Captain America, the hero of the United States who just woke up from a 70-year sleep, New York has become as strange as a city he has never met.Like living in a foreign country, he is trying to understand the new world. Maybe one day, he can really fall in love with the current New York.

It was getting late, but it was far from dusk, and Steve came back from the outside. His neighbors saw that he was still holding a drawing board and a pen in his hand, and he was still wearing an old-fashioned plaid shirt (but he couldn't stop him from being awesome. his figure), tired-looking—no, there was no trace of weariness in his handsome young face, only his blue eyes, from which the dullest man could feel heavy weariness—oh, again Familiar with the city for a day, it looks like it's not going well.

Agent Kate greeted him naturally: "Not bad, huh?"

Steve looked at her. "Hmmm...not bad, maybe." He smiled, the corners of his mouth turned up, but the eye muscles were still—Agent Kate's eyes flicked across his face, and finally settled on his politely. under the eyes, then smiled and asked, "Need my help? Like ordering takeout or something - like yesterday"

Steve instinctively refuses, and after a second or two, something comes to mind, and he rephrases, "Uh... if you want, I mean, thank you very much." In fact, he could go days without eating a grain of rice. Vibrant, but S.H.I.E.L.D. advises him to get in touch with modern society, doesn't he?He doesn't want to stay in the past forever, when everyone is moved forward by time...

The young female nurse in front of me asked half-jokingly: "If you don't mind, as a reward, please give me a suggestion - what color dress do you think is better? I have a small banquet tonight at a friend's house."

It was only then that Steve realized that her makeup was a bit grand at the moment, but Captain America's experience in this kind of problem can be called pitiful. He thought for a while before saying, "White, you want me to say?"

Kate looked a bit taken aback: "Oh, white? I never thought of that...but give it a try? You have to get something new every now and then, don't you? Thanks for your taste."

Instead, Steve was a little absent-minded: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that a guy I know likes white dresses... If you don't mind, I'll go back first."

Kate smiled: "Of course not. I'll see the captain tomorrow." She watched Steve enter his small apartment before turning and entering her own room, closing the door behind her.

Steve entered the room, flipped through today's painting with frowning eyes, recalled what he had seen and heard that day, and unconsciously sat on the sofa in a daze for a while.When he lowered his head again, he found that he had painted a pair of black eyes on the blank paper at some point. He simply let himself go and drew as he wished. After a while, he found a familiar figure standing on the paper. The extremely young girl with black hair and white dress looked at him quietly—maybe her face was not like this?Steve is not sure, after all, compared to him, she has been left forever 70 years ago.

He was in a daze again, looking around at the surrounding furniture and decorations, as well as the gradually yellowing sky outside the window, the voices of neighbors (he had no intention of prying into their private lives) and a few small birdsong, he smelled a smell of food He didn't move until there was a knock on the door, and Steve stood up...

----

Tony Stark is a scientist - although that's not what he's best known for.But he thinks he is one of the best in all aspects, at least a rare talent, but he did not expect to see a real god in this life—at least he claims to be.

"Whoa, the evil god Loki?" He looked at this particular captive curiously, blinking his brown eyes, "So the things that are said in the Norse mythology books are true?"

Loki, who sat there, just glanced at him, with a certain gloomy and arrogant meaning, but there was no other reaction-not even the calm expression on his slightly pale face.

Natasha Romanov, who was sitting in the cockpit, warned him: "Don't be as curious as a little boy, Stark, I think this will be good for you." vision.

This look aroused some emotion in Stark, and he immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "Don't forget who saved you just now, old Popsicle!"

Steve calmly said, "Thanks for your help, Stark. But we'll never have a good conversation until you learn to respect others."

Black Widow said, "Are you all little boys?—by the way, I think the captain is right."

Stark stared at her with wide eyes in disbelief, but Natasha didn't have time to give him a look, so he grunted heavily and sat down in his seat.

Loki watched all this quietly with his pair of green eyes, he said nothing, but mockingly and absent-mindedly, as if nothing could attract his attention.It wasn't until there was a thunder from the sky, and a bolt of lightning slashed across the gloomy sky at the moment, that he made a move - Loki turned his head and looked out the window of the plane.

"What? Are you afraid of thunder?" Steve noticed the captive's movement almost immediately.

Loki didn't even look at him, and said coldly, "No, I don't like the guy who comes after Lightning."

Stark and Steve immediately looked at each other, and both saw vigilance in each other's eyes.

After a while, the plane vibrated heavily. Something landed on the plane. Before everyone could react, Tony grabbed the helmet and put it on, and opened the tail compartment of the plane. Steve followed suit. Standing up, he said loudly, "What are you doing?"

Before waiting for an answer, a tall warrior wearing an armored cloak appeared at the door of the tail cabin of the plane. He had a clear purpose. After blocking Stark's attack, he grabbed Loki on the seat and wanted to fly away from the door, and Loki He wasn't surprised to see him, and raised his eyebrows until his eyes fell on the person behind him—yes, he didn't come alone, behind the tall blond warrior, there was another figure A shorter and slender warrior, his armor was silver-white, apparently he was the big man's assistant, responsible for buying some time.His movements were extremely flexible, and he quickly dodged the attack from Stark, while Captain America, at this moment, Captain America could barely move——

Steve looked at the face that the man turned around and opened his eyes wide——

"dew?!"

☆, no responsibility extra one

?*Blackening

Tony Stark was the first to notice the changes in Captain America keenly.

The change was not a change in physiognomy, or even a physical one—his blue eyes were still clear, his blond hair was still brilliant, his handsome features and perfectly transformed body were still charming—it was Nothing has changed, he still holds the shield and fights the enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D.The change Stark sensed - was saying something else.

Captain America seems to be Captain America, but Captain America is no longer Captain America.

Something different has happened to Captain America in the year since the death of Steve's lover - his friend, partner, wife - the lady, Lucia Ryan.Tony Stark felt that it was his heart, his beliefs—that was far more terrifying than anything else.

Iron Man felt terrible.He said to Steve, "Dude, you need a therapist. If you don't mind, I know one of the best..."

"No, I don't need it," Captain America said.In an instant, his face seemed to be covered with a hard mask. On the mask was a flawless and calm face - flawless eyes, slightly pursed lips, raised eyebrows, and a few resolute lines. Forehead lines—but he suddenly realized who said it, and the mask softened.Steve put on a mild look: "I mean, thanks. It's not like I haven't tried it, Tony, and you're not the first person to recommend it to me. Judy—the PsyD—thinks I Her help is not needed now."

Seeing the expression on Stark's face, he was even a little amused: "Don't feel so... I'm fine."

The smile confused Stark about his judgment, he wiped his face dryly, gave Steve a cute smile for a moment, and then said slowly: "Since I have a party, I won't follow You're having dinner--seriously, darling, I don't mind if you--"

As usual, Stark knew that Steve would say "no", he looked at Captain America's face, the time limit for his smile had passed, and his expression returned to calm at this time - Captain America raised his eyebrows: "Okay , thank you Tony."

Then, looking at Stark's raised eyebrows, Steve gave a genuine smile: "You don't take it seriously, do you? Of course I meant 'thanks, no'."

----

Lucia's death was not unrelated to her brother. It can even be said that the great pain she suffered before her death was all caused by her trusted brother.

This caused one of the Avengers, Thor, to mourn so much that he even felt guilty that for a while, Thor wouldn't look at Steve's face - and Steve's grief at that time was no less to him.

However, after the smear of time, sadness will be buried.Thor doesn't allow himself to wallow in one emotion, and neither does Steve.

As time goes by, the emotions are calming down, but the feelings are increasing-in everyone's default, Captain America is more and more able to determine the direction of everyone, although the director of SHIELD is not him, but even the director of SHIELD Have to admit his decisiveness.Thor realizes that although everyone will discuss the mission together, Captain America's judgment will often prove to be correct - even if it is not correct, the greatest cost and responsibility will definitely be borne by Captain America.

Captain America is important to everyone, and also to this country.Thor can tell that the Avengers love him.He didn't realize that this kind of love is heavy, maybe it's what Captain America was born to bear, but it's not what Steve Rogers needs.

The Avengers are different, yet similar.Take Thor and Captain America as an example, neither of them will tolerate justice being trampled on, but unlike Captain America, this is a nature that Thor does not need to think about.In short, Thor does it because it's righteous, and Steve does it because it fits with Captain America's credo.

Thor sees the trust everyone (even himself) has in Captain America, and he can't say there's anything wrong with it, but he still feels something is different—until he sees Steve trying to kill Captain America. When he lost Loki, he realized that this kind of trust is dangerous.

With Loki, Thor understands that despite all the gaps and pain that lie between him and Loki, they are still brothers.His inborn nature prevented him from forgiving Loki, and also made him unable to hate Loki-in any case, Loki's death was something he didn't want to see.It's been like this from before to now.

However, for Captain America, maybe he would not tolerate using this method to uphold justice in the past, but now, Thor discovered that Captain America's creed had deviated-it was Lucia's death that made him take a different path.He had different choices, and he began to agree with using dark means to achieve benefits.

Thor unconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand. He seldom thought in battle, but this incident shocked him too much. He yelled at Steve—"Captain!"

Iron Man glanced back at him.

At this moment, Loki's injuries are already serious, and he seems to be dying. Although he is still standing, anyone can see the god's effort——Loki's black hair hangs down in a mess, and a strand of it sticks to the dust-stained body. On his pale cheeks, facing the Captain America in front of him, he showed a smile: "Your strength is not as good as before, mortal. What made you choose this path? I guess... the so-called Love? Sad!"

Captain America replied: "I just don't hesitate anymore."

He didn't give Loki a chance to attack his teammates, nor did he give them a chance to interfere with his actions.Steve seemed to be tirelessly picking up the shield, but when he was about to continue his actions, a golden-red shadow flew past where Loki was - he was taken away by Iron Man.

Tony's voice came through the air—"Sorry Captain! I had to!"

----

Tony Stark was shocked again.

He knows that within the Avengers, there are many superheroes in the eyes of ordinary people, but there is confusion in the firm mind-that comes from an eternal question.

The actions of the Avengers are inseparable from danger. They claim to be righteous, but walk on the edge of crime.How to keep yourself from falling into the shadows?Even Stark couldn't make it clear.He is the ultimate utilitarian, calmly weighing interests and making more valuable choices is what he usually does.And most people choose to find an anchor—this anchor is unshakable and absolutely reliable. It allows the heroes to find their direction so that they will not lose themselves in the right and wrong questions.

However, what if the anchor is off?

Captain America has changed.This change is becoming more and more apparent, and to Tony's desperation he realizes that the change is irreversible.Captain America, who used to question himself and prudently exercise the right to justice, has now broken the doubts, he gave himself the answer, he gave himself the choice-just like he used to do, Steve never needed Others help him decide the direction.

In fact, the eternal question, even, often lies in Iron Man's heart.But the difference is that he doesn't feel that this question needs a firm answer, everything changes-but Steve doesn't realize it.Maybe it's because death is immutable, and unalterable death changed Steve Rogers.

Speaking of which, some parts of the current Steve have even become-somewhat like the old Iron Man.However, everyone understands that S.H.I.E.L.D. may have one more Iron Man, but it must not lose a Captain America.

Tony Stark locked himself in the laboratory, thought about it all night, and finally made a decision in the early morning light.

＊Next is sweet stem :)

When Steve pushed open the door, Lucia was curled up on her private sofa, pressing her cell phone—he saw with his extraordinary vision that it was his cell phone without going any closer.

Everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. knows that the captain has a classic cell phone, the main function of which is to make and receive calls and send and receive text messages.

"Who are you texting, Lou?" Steve asked casually, taking off his coat and hanging it on the wall.

Lucia didn't even glance at him, and it took a moment before she replied, "No, that's not it. It's another thing - go take a shower, Steve, and watch out for my piano - please, don't Don't hurt it any more!"

Steve: "..."

When Captain America came out of the bathroom (it didn't take too long), Lucia finally took her attention away from her phone, let out a sigh of relief as if she had accomplished a big deal, and resumed her usual sweet look, heading towards He smiles.

Steve had finished the question just now, but when he saw this smile, he couldn't remember what happened just now - when he realized it, he had already chatted with Lucia about something incomprehensible.

Steve: ...Okay, I'll talk about it next time I have a chance.

Then they started to read books separately. Lucia checked Twitter and ins for a while. When night fell, neither of them was hungry, so they went for a walk in the suburbs. Before going to bed, Steve saw Lucia sitting on the bed and laughed. Rubbing his belly made him lean over curiously, and then they watched a few YouTube videos together.Even though some Steves can't catch the laughs, he has to admit that these things are pretty funny.

Although Steve and Lucia were unfamiliar with many modern technologies when they first lived in New York, he thought, Lucia was obviously much more interested in these things than he was.

Lucia smiled and said, "Because I'm not old fashioned."

"Me neither," Steve said.

Looking at his face, Lucia smiled even sweeter, wondering if he knew that he was pouting like a baby now.

Just like that, he didn't think of his thoughts again until before going to bed: What exactly is Lucia hiding from him?

----

The answer was soon revealed.

It took two days for him to know what Lucia did with his phone that day - Steve's phone ringtone was changed from the original system default setting to a piano song.It was written specifically for him by Lucia.

Then his cell phone ringtone never changed again.

*

Captain America's fighting skills, not to mention number one in S.H.I.E.L.D., are definitely among the top three.Regardless of the disparity in strength, there are very few heroes who can fight against him.

So when Lucia proposed to learn close combat, the task naturally fell on Steve.

Speaking of Lucia herself, all the fighting skills she mastered were learned from Asgard, which is completely different from Steve's more street boxing techniques, so that bit of experience can't be used anymore, so she had to start from scratch, Train your own strength and learn techniques from Steve.

Then she discovered...it is really difficult to learn from Captain America.Because Lucia was always restless and listened to him.Facing the thin and sexy Captain America, she always learns and her thoughts drift away.

Steve had to teach her by hand.

...so I couldn't calm down even more.

As a result, after a while, Lucia found that Steve had spent time to customize a training plan for himself, and seriously said that the previous poor results were due to the lack of a plan that followed scientific laws.

Of course Lucia knew how much effort Steve had put into it, and how much information he had checked. She felt warm and said that she would definitely study hard.

Lucia started to study hard, and Steve had new troubles.That is, now Lucia really wants to develop muscles, but will she be able to develop them in a while?So Lucia looked at his muscles with envy every day, and then sighed that she didn't know how long it would take for her to develop abdominal muscles.In order to express her envy, Lucia couldn't help touching and pinching her hands. She didn't use much force. Even if she tried hard, it didn't hurt Steve. Not only didn't it hurt, but there were other feelings. ...Once or twice is fine, Steve doesn't mind her being curious and playful, but it's always like this...

Fortunately, Lucia finally got abs, she was very happy, and then stopped messing with Steve.

After taking a shower, Steve came out with a towel around him, his upper body was naked, and the transparent water droplets slid down the hollows of his strong muscles, and finally sank into invisible places. Lucia: "Where are my clothes?"

Lucia let out two "呒" from her nasal cavity to indicate that she was thinking, and then pointed in a direction without looking.

Steve: ...I always feel like there's something wrong with the stuffed stuff.

*

Lucia loves to grow flowers, and they do well.The main reason is that her way of growing flowers is too buggy—unlike others (mainly referring to Steve), she usually only needs to sit on a recliner, listen to music, read a book, and bask in the sun with flowers and plants. She is in a good mood and infected The flowers and plants are also good, and then they get twice the result with half the effort. The performance is that she doesn't have to bother at all. As long as there is no shortage of water and light, the flowers and plants she planted will be enviable. It is as beautifully decorated as an asgard.

Before she and Steve lived together, Lucia once picked two pots of the best-blooming roses for Steve, and after a while, he told her with guilt and trepidation—— Raised to death.

Lucia:  …

Looking into his eyes, she had no choice but to say softly: It's okay.

Later, she learned her lesson and gave him a pot of Viola. This kind of flower can bloom from winter to next summer, and it is easy to burst.

Lucia:  …

In the end, Lucia gave Steve a pot of blue snowflakes, which has no shortcomings except being afraid of the cold, so it is easy to feed.Lucia hoped that this chick would live up to her expectations, or she would just groan—finally, it survived under Steve's hands.Both Steve and Lucia were delighted.

Later they lived together, and Lucia saw that the potted flower was still there.It was not moved to the balcony to merge with her colorful, but remained in the bedroom.And she found that it's not that Steve doesn't pay attention to growing flowers—on the contrary, he is quite careful in taking care of flowers, and he knows the habits of this flower well, and he even gave it a name— — Lucia asked him curiously, but Steve avoided talking about it.On that day, she was very curious, and she was very interested in Steve's idea of ​​naming it, and finally forced her to do a trick—choking her neck and tickling it, and he had no choice but to tell her that it was called Lulu.

Lucia: This name...don't tell me you usually talk to it.

And then she heard Steve go on, "...sometimes, I used to say something to her..."

She imagined the scene for a while, and felt mixed feelings.After experiencing it silently for a while, she chose to press and hold Steve who was still talking, and then kissed him directly.

Steve: Huh? ……Um……

Lucia's diary from that day: OMG!Steve is literally like a teen girl sometimes!

Steve has a knack for peeling apples.

The few songs Captain America knows are taught by his wife.
