Chapter 812: The Disappeared Captain America and the Inheritor
"You know, I can go with you if you need it."
"Thank you, Sam. But let me do it this time."
In the woods outside the temporary base, next to the newly built small quantum channel, Steve was carrying a black box and holding the Thor Hammer in his hand, preparing to embark on a Meituan takeout trip.
Dior, Wanda, Fast Silver, Hulk, Falcon Sam, Winter Soldier Bucky, Thor, and Natasha were all waiting for Steve to put a perfect end to this catastrophe.
"Don't do stupid things before I come back."
"How could I have done all the stupid things."
Steve and Bucky looked at each other and then hugged each other with a full smile. Maybe no one noticed anything, but as the person who knows Steve best here, Bucky seemed to have already vaguely expected that this guy would do something stupid again.
So after the hug, he said, "I will miss you, brother."
Steve nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Bucky."
Then Steve turned and walked to Dior, stretching out a hand, "We are still friends, are we?"
“It’s always been.”
Dior did not shake hands with him, but hugged him and patted him on the back. Although he had disagreements, it was already a thing of the past.
After the catastrophe, many people, including Dior, were preparing to retreat.
Maybe one day in the future, they will choose to stand up because of the dangers on the earth, but now everyone just wants to return to normal life.
"A good journey, Steve."
Wanda also hugged Steve gently.
Then Steve stood directly on the quantum channel with something.
“How long will it take?”
Sam, who had just been resurrected for a while, asked with some concern.
"It's okay for him as long as possible, but for us, we only need to wait five seconds."
Hulk said confidently, you should know that the original version of the time machine required a full minute of synchronization to teleport people back, but now it only takes five seconds.
War is the best source of development of technology, and this sentence is true!
"Are you ready, captain?"
Seeing Steve nodding, Hulk operated directly on the instrument, "The quantum field is opened, countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
With a whoosh, Steve's figure disappeared.
"And then prepare to come back, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 huh?"
Hulk pressed the switch, but no Steve was seen on the quantum channel.
Hulk began to check the equipment with a confused look on his face, and Sam asked anxiously: "Where are others?"
"I don't know, the timestamps have been synchronized, he should be back."
"Bring him back!"
"I know, I'm trying."
"Take him back!"
"Don't be anxious, Sam!"
At this time, only Bucky's face showed me and I knew that this would be a laugh.
At the same time, Dior, who felt something, suddenly looked at the bench beside the lake.
He was sure that before this, there was absolutely no one there!
But now there is a person suddenly coming out of thin air. Did you accidentally notice it?
Dior's eyes flashed for a moment, and he always felt that this old back looked particularly like a person.
Could it be!?
"there."
With Dior's gesture, everyone's eyes turned to the bench not far away.
Then Sam and Bucky walked slowly over, Dior did not move, and no one else moved, because if this was really Steve's choice, then all they could do was blessing.
So let's leave the current space for them first.
Not knowing what he thought of, Bucky suddenly stopped and then smiled and said to Sam, "Go over, he is waiting for you."
Sam was stunned for a moment, but still walked to the old man and tentatively shouted, "Captain?"
"Hi, Sam, long time no see."
Sitting on the bench, looking at the old man calmly on the lake, slowly turned his head and said hello.
Although the rings of time have left the mark of wind and frost on him, his face, the way of speaking, and the aura on his body are undoubtedly Captain America himself!
"So was there something wrong, or was it the intention?"
Somehow, Sam suddenly laughed, because he also felt Steve's mood and the choice he made.
"After I returned the Infinity Stone, I thought maybe I should try the kind of life that Tony advised me to live." The gray-haired Steve slowly spoke with a happy smile.
“So what’s the result?”
“Very beautiful.”
Sam, who empathized, nodded, "I'm happy for you, sincere."
"But the only thing that makes me feel sad is that there is no more Captain America in my world."
"Oh, you reminded me." Steve gave Sam a thing that was placed next to him.
That was the classic vibrating round shield that Tony's father created for him!
This thing was already shattered in the battle with Thanos, but Steve, who is now in his twilight years, brought a new, same, Captain America shield to his inheritor!
“Try put it on.”
Sam did not go to pick him up, but stared at his idol in a complicated mood, then turned his head to look at Bucky not far away. In his opinion, this shield should not be left for him. Bucky is more suitable to inherit the will of Captain America than him.
But Bucky himself knew that he did not deserve this shield, nor was he worthy of inheriting the title of Captain America and this will.
With so many innocent blood stained in his hands, he will never be the next Captain America.
Maybe others might agree with Steve for his sake and not make things difficult for him, and even Tony no longer wants to kill him and avenge his parents.
But Bucky himself doesn't have the same face to accept it.
It was precisely because Steve knew what Bucky was thinking that he did not give this burden and chose this responsibility, but chose his admirers.
At least in Steve's opinion, Sam would never let him down.
“How does it feel?”
“It feels like someone else’s stuff.”
“It’s not someone else’s, it’s yours.”
Sam, wearing Captain America's shield, took a deep breath, suppressed the complexity in his heart, and looked at Steve solemnly, "Thank you, I will definitely do my best to use it."
The two hands were held together again, but this time the difference was that Steve had a beautiful ring on his ring finger.
"So would like to talk to me about her?"
Steve smiled softly and looked at the lake again, "No, no need."
