Marvel's Last Angel

Chapter 28 Arrive in America
"Where are we going?" Xi sat in the car and watched the changing scenery outside the window.I have been avoiding the enemy for a while, but this time it seems to be hiding a little far away.

"Well, the United States, there are some friends there, let's go and seek refuge." Xi's voice interrupted Erskine's thinking.He was a little taken aback by Xi's question, as she usually doesn't talk much.Erskine looked at Xi who was wearing a black robe and only showed his hands flipping through the book, he hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Xi helplessly looked up at Erskine and asked.

"Ah, it's nothing..." Erskine looked flustered.

Xi just looked at him like this, she felt that Erskine must have a question to ask.

"Well, you just...uh, pretty awesome." Erskine didn't know where to start, but he regretted not bowing his head, and said casually in embarrassment.

"Thank you, and then?"

"I mean, do you remember?"

"What...?" Xi was at a loss, unable to react.

"That's right, in the past," Erskine emphasized.

"No, that's just instinct...it should be the body's memory. I can't watch you have an accident..." Xi raised her hands, looked at them, a little dazed, and took a long time to answer. "I only have you now, oh, and it." Xi patted the book on his lap.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine, I promise," Erskine said firmly, wiping the corner of his eyes secretly.

. . . . . . .

Three days later, at a military base in the United States.

"Dr. Erskine, you are finally here. We have been looking forward to it for a long time." A man in uniform warmly greeted you.

Xi followed Erskine off the plane.After three days of hiding, they finally arrived in New York, the United States, from Germany.

"Colonel Phillips, long time no see. It's been a few years since we last met." Erskine warmly embraced the person who came up to him.

A group of people crowded into the car and drove to the distance.

In a secret base in New York, Colonel Phillips warmly received Dr. Erskine and seemed very happy for his arrival.

"Dr. Erskine, to introduce you, this is Agent Peggy Carter, who will be in charge of your project in the future. This is Howard Stark, the famous inventor, who will assist you. We have applied for your project , it should be successfully determined soon. Dr. Erskine, you will change the predicament the world is facing now." Colonel Phillips raised his glass and clinked glasses with Dr. Erskine, and introduced.

"Abraham Erskine, it is a great honor to contribute to world peace. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you, this is Xi, my friend." Erskine introduced himself while tasting the red wine.At the same time, I would like to introduce the pity behind me.

It is a pity to see that everyone is focusing their attention on him, but he nods slightly.She didn't want to come, but she couldn't hold back the other party's enthusiasm.

"Hey, why are you wearing a black robe?" Howard Stark is not a law-abiding master, especially the mouth.At this time, he saw Xi's special outfit and joked.

"Uh, Xie has been wearing a robe and a hood because she hurt her face in the war." Erskine and Xi stayed together for a long time, knowing her temper, and at this time they smoothed things over and lied.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was like this." Howard didn't expect it to be like this, and apologized quickly.At the same time, I was a little annoyed that this mouth should be repaired.

Because the hood of the robe is relatively wide, it well hides Xi's face in the darkness.Xi looked at Howard, who was embarrassed, and frowned slightly, feeling a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Agent Carter, take this lady to the arranged accommodation first. You must be very tired along the way." Phillips also opened his mouth to smooth things over.Seeing that Xi was in an embarrassing situation, he asked Erskine with his eyes, and after getting the consent, he asked Peggy Carter to take Xi to rest.

"Hey, come with me..." Carter looked at the man who was completely hidden in the black robe, with doubts on his face.When he sent someone to contact Erskine, there was no such person around him.However, seeing Erskine defending her like this, there should be no problem.Thinking of this, Carter softened his tone and walked towards the residence with pity.

Xi hugged the book tightly, feeling very unfamiliar with the surrounding environment.

"Don't be nervous, this will be your home from now on. It's safe from the gunfire." In the room, Carter saw that Xi was a little nervous and comforted her. "You rest first, I will live next to you, you can call me if you need anything."

. . . . .

I saw Erskine again at noon the next day.After lunch, Agent Carter entered a secret base with pity.Here I saw Erskine, who was busy directing.

"This is where I will work from now on, how about it?" Erskine said regretfully.At the same time, don't forget to tell people who move things to be careful.

Xi nodded to show that he heard.

Erskine knew she couldn't talk in the presence of strangers, and didn't care.

"Oh, by the way, do you remember anything?" Erskine asked cautiously, he didn't want to see Xie suffer from the memory of the past.

"It's okay, we have a long time..." Erskine shook his head and comforted him.

"Agent Carter, when will the materials I need be available?" Erskine saw Peggy Carter walking over and asked.

"About three days later," Carter roughly calculated the time and replied.
"That's it! Can I trouble you with one thing."

"You said..." Carter was a little puzzled.

"My project is about to start, and it will take a long time until it is successful. Unfortunately, I am alone here and I am not familiar with the surrounding area. Can I trouble you to take care of it?" Erskine asked.At the same time, he glanced at the small figure beside him who was looking curiously at him.

"Of course, I'll keep her safe." Carter didn't expect Erskine to mention this, so he took a look at it and assured her.

"Then trouble you, by the way, unfortunately for some reason, I lost my memory, and now I only remember my name. If there is anything, please let me know in time." Erskine omitted most of it, and asked Peggy Carter Said the situation of pity.

Carter was a little surprised that this mysterious girl had lost her memory.She nodded in understanding.

"I'm sorry, I can't search for memories with you for the time being. I have to do something for world peace. But I promise, after I succeed, I will take you to find memories." Erskine walked to Xi's side and knelt down. body, making his line of sight parallel to Xi's eyes, said apologetically.

Xi nodded and raised her hand to her eyes.

Erskine happily reached out his hand and hooked Xi's fingers together.
