Captain America collapsed.
He fell to the ground, staring up at the slowly drifting clouds.
In his mind, he thought:
It's over.
Farewell to this world… forever.
Seventy years later, who knows if I'll even see the sun tomorrow?
Perhaps…
this same day next year will be my death anniversary.
Miss Carter saw him like this.
With a gentle smile, she walked over.
She tugged strongly on his arm and helped him to his feet.
Her smile remained soft.
"Hey, Steve, why are you so panicked?" she asked.
"Have you forgotten?
Haven't we already watched this video?
We're just watching it again now, aren't we?
"Oh, right—I almost forgot—you'll kiss someone in the future.
Who is it?
Ah, yes! I remember now—it's my niece, Sharon Carter.
You wanted to invite her for coffee after visiting me in the hospital!"
She laughed lightly.
"See? How could I possibly forget these things?"
"Hey, Howard, Bucky, Steve… why are you so tense?
Why are you stepping back?
Why are you keeping your distance?
I'm not a man-eating tiger, what are you afraid of?"
"Oh, what's that? You mean the subtitle—'Miss Carter Gets Cuckolded'?"
Hehe, Steve, you're funny.
How could I possibly be upset?
The subtitle is just teasing, meant to deepen our bond.
Don't worry—I still like you."
Steve didn't even dare to breathe.
If you asked what the second scariest thing in the world is,
it's an angry woman.
Then what's the scariest thing in the world?
It's a woman who seems calm, even cheerful…
but could explode at any moment.
Steve didn't believe Miss Carter when she said she wasn't angry.
How could he?
Look at his purple arms.
Remember—Steve is a super-soldier.
His muscles are strong, his endurance incredible.
In the future elevator, he could take on ten men at once, even kill them.
He could be called the Elevator War God of America.
And yet… this strange woman could squeeze his arms purple with a smile on her face.
Even while being pinched, she smiled.
Bucky and Howard couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed… women are the most dangerous.
And Steve, as always, is incredible.
Captain America's "execution" was only beginning.
The video continued.
[After escaping from the S.H.I.E.L.D. building]
Steve no longer knew whom to trust.
He decided to use the USB drive Fury had given him at the hospital.
First, decrypt it; then figure out the rest.
But who knew?
The USB originally in a vending machine had vanished—
and ended up in Black Widow's hands.
After she recounted being wounded by the Winter Soldier herself, taking a bullet to the waist, she earned Steve's trust.
Meanwhile, Director Pierce was lying to both sides of S.H.I.E.L.D.:
To the board, he claimed he had been secretly trading intelligence and that he had betrayed them to push the Insight Project forward.
To regular S.H.I.E.L.D. staff, he claimed Steve knew the truth about Fury's death but hadn't reported it—an act of betrayal worthy of a manhunt.
In short:
with both sides trying to benefit, and Fury's death creating a huge power vacuum,
Pierce became the highest-ranking figure in S.H.I.E.L.D.—without equal.
Nick Fury frowned.
Pierce had been one of the first to help improve S.H.I.E.L.D. alongside him.
He was a veteran, had faced death with Fury on many missions…
But not a brother.
Closer than a brother—yet not.
How could the future change so drastically?
Deceiving the lower ranks, slandering the upper ranks…
Trying to become king of all S.H.I.E.L.D.
Fury sighed.
Could this be like Tony and Obama's story?
Would it happen again with Pierce and me?
[At a shopping mall]
In a phone store, Steve learned via the USB that the mysterious signal originated in New Jersey.
Black Widow and his location had also been exposed.
Steve quickly assessed the surroundings:
"Standard tactical squad. Two front, two rear, two on flanks.
If they see us, I'll fight.
You take the south elevator to the subway."
Black Widow: "Shut up, hug me, and smile a little."
Steve: "What?"
[Black Widow: Hurry!]
Steve, seeing their pursuers right there, had no time to hesitate.
He hugged her shoulder and smiled.
The tactic worked—the two pursuers assumed they were just a chatting couple, and didn't even glance at them.
Behind the military camp
Miss Carter teased:
"Oh, pretending to be a couple, huh?
Steve, you're so clever!
After all this time, you've never been this close to me.
In a few months, when you recover, you'll hug female teammates, maybe even invite the new neighbor for coffee.
"Steve, I don't know whether to tell you you'll be popular with women in the future, or that I'm currently suppressing your instincts."
Steve felt the strength in his arms grow.
He knew he had to explain himself today.
So he blurted out:
"Tonight… how about something intimate, just you and me?"
Miss Carter: !???
Bucky: !???
Howard: !???
Bucky was stunned by Steve's sudden move:
"Damn! Steve, you're brilliant—I knew this was all planned!
You pretend to be pure all day, but your games of the heart surpass me!"
Steve tried to defend himself:
"No, wait, I…"
But he sounded foolish and awkward, like a man caught in his own trap.
Why did he say that suddenly?
Was he really like Bucky?
A born saint of love?
Yet… it wasn't too bad.
Miss Carter seemed to be pinching his arm more gently now…
[In the elevator]
Steve and Black Widow prepared to descend.
Suddenly, they saw Rumlow also in the elevator.
Black Widow, sensing danger, looked at Steve:
"Come on… kiss me!"
Steve: "What?"
Black Widow: "Public displays of affection make people uneasy."
Steve: "Oh… okay."
Before he could react, she wrapped her hand around his head and kissed him.
As she predicted, Rumlow turned his head away, unwilling to watch—nobody wants to be a third wheel.
After the pursuers left, Black Widow turned, a triumphant smile on her face:
"Still feeling awkward?"
Steve: "I feel… good~"
Behind the military camp
Steve lay down, awaiting Miss Carter's iron-handed punishment.
But she didn't seem as angry as expected.
Could it be… I'm the chosen one, and God won't let me die today?
Finally, Steve cautiously asked:
"Miss Carter… you're not angry?"
She pouted.
"What are you thinking, Steve? How could I be angry?
We've already watched this video once; seeing it again isn't as painful.
And this kiss—Black Widow initiated it, not you. Look at her—she's clearly been waiting for this moment."
"Hey Howard, in the coming years, you need to get the super-soldier serum.
Recreate this situation.
I want to live to seventy, and give that little brat Black Widow and her obedient niece Sharon a real lesson.
Show them who Steve's real girlfriend is!"
Howard stepped back, nodding like a little chick pecking at rice.
He understood—calm women are the most dangerous.
Steve sighed inwardly.
Indeed… women are strange creatures.
The slums.
Dr. Banner was annoyed.
"Damn it!
Why is green suddenly coming out of my head?
Could it be… Hulk's green is the green of forgiveness?!?"
