"Uh"
As they came, with the twisting of the light, several agents returned to their place of departure at dawn.
Fury, Hill and Pierce were already waiting for them in the laboratory on the upper level of the Trident Building.
"Where is he?"
Alexander Pierce seemed impatient, he said to Merlin:
"You really brought him back?"
"of course."
Merlin shook the ice crumbs on his arm. He reached out and put his hand into his pocket, making a grabbing gesture. The next moment, a black, long metal bio-cabin was placed in front of Pierce's eyes. .
Fury stepped forward, grabbed the lid of the bio-cabin and lifted it outward.
Along with the overflowing coldness, the scene in the biological cabin appeared in front of everyone.
A frozen hero 67, a veteran away from home, a lonely watchman, a soldier waiting for rescue.
"It really is him."
Fury didn't care about the icy cold. He reached out and touched the smooth ice that was cut, and beside him, the big figures of the World Security Council also extended their fingers and slid on the ice.
"It's exactly the same as the combat uniform displayed in his gallery."
Pierce pushed his glasses. He looked carefully at Captain America in the ice cube. He looked at the person in front of him, as if relieved, he said:
"I can finally give an explanation to those veterans."
Beside him, Fury nodded relievedly.
Merlin knew what they meant.
In this land of North America, generations of veterans still maintain very close ties. They have their own organizations, just like unions. On the battlefield, they help each other, and in life they are also very united.
The old Stan that Merlin knew was a member of the veteran organization and a regional representative.
The forces formed by these veterans are also terrible. They even have a certain influence in politics. According to Merlin, almost every year, the veterans will be led by the old men who survived World War II. The government put pressure on officials to send more expeditions to the North Pole to find the missing Captain Steve Rogers.
Of course, 67 years have passed by this matter, and the current pressure action is more like a means of maintaining organizational cohesion, but it is undeniable that in the minds of many World War II veterans, the life and death of Steve Rogers is still very important. Like Coulson, many veterans are loyal fans of Steve.
They don't care who the president is, whether they are black or white, but they care whether the idol was still alive.
In the years that Captain America has been missing, the gossip about the fact that the captain is still alive has not subsided. Merlin’s friend, cartoonist Lao Stan, is a loyal follower of this argument.
He believed that people like Steve Rogers would not die so quietly.
"This are some of Steve's belongings we found under the ice."
Natasha took out a pocket and scattered the contents on the table next to it. Among them were Steve Rogers’ dog tag, his officer’s certificate, and his pocket watch, which was frozen. For decades, it has long stopped moving, but overall it is still intact.
Fury picked up the pocket watch, wiped it on his sleeve, and then gently opened it.
Inside is a black and white photo.
This is a photo of Ms. Peggy Carter when she was young.
"The relationship between them is really good."
Merlin said suddenly.
Others nodded silently. As they were unfamiliar with it, it was easy to think of the missing captain and Ms. Carter's wait for decades.
But for Merlin, there are other meanings in his sentence.
These people do not know that Ms. Carter has not been alone for decades. Maybe Steve is missing, but there is another Steve with her.
Alas, the relationship between them is too complicated.
"How do we unfreeze him?"
Merlin looked back at the re-closed biological cabin, he said:
"Although he still has signs of life, it is no exaggeration to say that that vitality is not as good as candlelight in the wind. Judging from his current situation, as long as there are any errors in the thawing process, even if it is only a small error, it will be Send this poor man to real or heaven."
"Dr. Hall is designing an instrument that will thaw perfectly."
Fury put the pocket watch on the table. He looked at the biological compartment behind him. He said:
"But I think that maybe we need help from the other side. I plan to invite several therapists from the Magic Congress on the day of thawing."
"Well, a good choice."
Mei Lin nodded and said:
"The therapists can maximize the vitality of this poor man. The combination of magic and technology will really increase his chance of survival. Will he wake up recently?"
"Not recently."
Fury shook his head:
"The meaning he represents is too important. I will not risk awakening him until the perfect execution of the defrosting procedure. The process of this experiment may take months or even years, but fortunately, we are not very anxious."
"Oh, yes, Merlin, there is one more thing."
Fury seemed to remember something, he said to Merlin:
"Steve’s shield, the one that accompanied him on the battlefield, is still stored in the Stark family. I want to ask you to take that shield back. I think, after Steve wakes up, look Getting familiar with things will make him feel better...after all, no matter who he sleeps for 70 years, he will get a little upset."
"Why let me go?"
Merlin frowned, he said:
"My relationship with Tony Stark is not good. Maybe you can send someone else."
He glanced back at the black widow Natasha who was talking to Clint. He said:
"Natasha is a good fit...As far as I know, that has always had little resistance to beautiful women."
A strange smile appeared in the corner of Merlin's mouth. He said:
"Speaking of this, Sharon once told me a joke. She said that Ms. Carter evaluated Tony's father, Mr. Howard, and said that as long as a shark's skirt is short enough, Mr. Stark will even think that it does not bite. .. Tony is the same, and his style is more wild than his father."
"I think Natasha only needs 3 points to seduce people, and getting a shield from Tony is just a matter of hand."
"Well, I originally planned to send a female agent."
Fury shrugged and said to Merlin:
"But do you know how that guy responded to me?"
"Ok?"
Merlin looked back at Fury, and the braised egg head said to him:
"Tony told our agent very bluntly that if he wanted the shield, let Merlin Riley come in person... He said that he would not give the shield to anyone but you."
"Damn it!"
Merlin rubbed his forehead with a headache, he said:
"I really don't want to deal with that guy, he is very annoying, and... he has been tangled with the things of the year. Ms. Carter told me to tell me not to tell him the truth about this matter. She knows her nephew very well. , She knew there was always an impulsive and reckless emotion in Tony’s character."
Merlin says:
"In the present situation, if he knows that Hydra killed his parents, the hard-pressed situation we have maintained so hard may collapse because of his Hulai... His personal ability does not matter, mainly his hands. The influence of Stark Industries here is too great. I don’t want to make this known to everyone, what do you say?"
"I was worried before."
Fry narrowed her eyes, and said softly:
"But then I found out that our concerns are somewhat redundant."
"The person directly responsible, the Winter Soldier is dead, isn't he? Let him check it out, and now the Hydra is starting to dive deep. The clues we can find are always limited. It's better to let a third party enter the room to disturb this pool of water, Maybe he was playing straight, and he could find some clues we ignored...From the perspective of outsiders, he could always find something we didn’t find."
"This is an uncontrollable factor, Fury, you have to think about it."
Merlin was still hesitant. He said:
"Furthermore, I am now more and more doubting whether the Winter Soldier was really dead. I just recently met a guy who came back to life..."
"I even doubt that Howard Stark is really dead..."
Merlin's statement made Frye frown, and he asked:
"Do you know any other news?"
"No, not yet."
Merlin shook his head, he said:
"Now it's just some clues, I'm not sure yet. I might as well sneak into Tony's manor and'take' that shield out?"
"Well, it's not impossible."
Fury thought for a moment, he said to Merlin:
"Then hurry up and go back... your ability, I absolutely believe it."
"Okay, I will deal with this in a few days."
Merlin looked down at his pocket watch and he said to Fury:
"I have to go. There are still some things to be dealt with at the ghost base. When I get the shield, I will send it back."
"Okay, I'm waiting for your news."
—
"Uh"
Saying goodbye to Fury, Merlin returned to the ghost base in Kansas with a formshift spell.
As soon as he fell into his office, he heard a welcome.
"Is this magic?"
The suspicious voice of George in his head made Merlin turn his head, and he saw George sitting in a weird metal chair, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and his face was decadent.
There is a device similar to Winston's jetpack behind the thing he sits on. A blue plasma flame flutters at the jet, allowing the deformed George to levitate in the air.
His head was too big and too heavy, making him completely unable to move in the attitude of ordinary people.
"Where did this thing come from?"
Merlin did not answer George's question. He looked at George's chair and said:
"Quite chic."
"Oh, this."
George patted his chair, he said to Merlin:
"This is what I just did. In the base's workshop, Winston helped design the prototype. But it is still very original. The jet backpack can be improved again. I plan to make another one more suitable for me in a few days."
"Can Winston's jetpack be mass-produced?"
Merlin took two cigars from the drawer and gave one to George. With his current state of mind, he continued some pastimes to vent his depression.
George did not reject the offer. He took the cigar and put it in his mouth a little hard. Merlin reached out and snapped his fingers. The beating flame ignited him and George's cigar together.
"Fur..."
George, who hadn't smoked before, sprayed a smoke ring into the sky. With a bottle in his hand, he said to Merlin:
"That kind of technology is not difficult. A.I.M has fully mastered the design of the single-flyer. If you want, I can give you the design drawings tomorrow. Not tonight...I want to drink tonight."
He was half drunk. He dangled his chair in Merlin’s office, saying:
"Agent Merlin, you are a really good person, you saved me 2 times... your subordinates are also very good, they don't discriminate against me, you see, I'm a monster...I might just stay In this base, I will stay here for the rest of my life, and I will definitely freak out others when I go out..."
"I have a way."
Merlin leaned against the desk, smoking a cigarette, and said to the half-drunk George:
"A method that cannot guarantee the success rate... We have a process of body transformation here, which can theoretically touch all the deforming and cursing effects imposed on the human body. Your situation is due to energy radiation. It can also be regarded as a metamorphosis curse. But let me be honest, George, first of all, I don’t know if it can relieve your current situation, and secondly, the process is painful..."
Merlin said to the drunk man whose head was suspended in front of him:
"It may be almost painful when you were tested, and your mental power is very strong, which means that you cannot be hypnotized, and you will feel that pain more clearly than others..."
"Can it restore my previous appearance?"
George threw away the bottle, and his fist-sized eyes shone with a plea.
Merlin says:
"I’m not sure, but I think it should be effective. You don’t need to go through the complete mutation transformation, you only need to carry out the first half, use some inducer to open up the potential of your body, and perform the most primitive on your twisted body. Reorganization."
"It may succeed, but it may also fail."
"Needless to say!"
George clenched his fists and said to Merlin:
"Arrange for me, the sooner the better!"
"That's painful, George..."
Merlin says:
"that..."
"I made up my mind!"
George George suspended the chair in front of Merlin's eyes and said sincerely:
"I don't want these things, these abilities, I just want to change back to myself...I don't want to be a monster, help me!"
"OK then."
Merlin nodded and said to George:
"You are still a little weak now, you need to recuperate your body, and when your body reaches the healthiest level, I will arrange your experiment...but I hope you are mentally prepared."
"In my opinion, that process is more painful than real death."
