The alternative in Marvel

In a single room at Anchorage Nursing Home in Bermondsey District, an old woman had just taken today's dose of medicine. With the help of a nurse, she found a comfortable position and half leaned against the bed. Wearing reading glasses, I read a book called "Save Yourself".

……

"I never thought you would read a book like this."

"Oh, dear, you scared me, who are you?" The person was wearing a black sportswear, with a skull mask on his face under the hood. His sudden appearance startled the old woman.

"Can't you hear it? What about this?" Adrian took off his mask.

"Are you... Angus?" The old woman took off her glasses with trembling hands and asked with an uncertain tone.

"It's me, long time no see, Peggy."

……

The person Adrian met was Peggy Carter, one of the founders of SHIELD. The two of them first met in 1943, during Adrian's third escape from the spiritual realm to Earth.

Adrian longs for life on Earth. The second time he escaped, the 21-day possession could not satisfy him at all, so he often went to heaven and the universe to cause trouble. Thanks to the blessing of the God of Death, he could not die. Unable to be disturbed, Archangel Miller finally had to Agree to send Adrian to Earth in the form of soul rebirth.

So, in the summer of 1922 in the Earth calendar, Adrian was born into a middle-class family in New Jersey. His name was Hugh Angus. His father was a military doctor and his mother was a nurse. Because of his father’s influence, he At the beginning of 1943, he gave up his university studies and formally joined the army in response to the government's call. He went to the UK with the army that year.

There he met then-intelligence officer, Peggy Carter. Adrien liked the heroic Peggy Carter very much. Peggy Carter understood Adrien's intentions, but at that time she already had Steve Rogers, known as Captain America, in her heart, so she could not respond to Adrien. The feeling of grace.

The method of soul rebirth caused Adrian to lose various abilities in the spiritual realm, but his agility and dynamic vision were good. With his outstanding skills, he was invited to join the Howling Commandos organized by Captain America. During an operation in 1944, in order to protect his teammates, Adrian was hit by an artillery shell. His body died directly, and his soul immediately returned to the spiritual realm.

……

"You...how..." Peggy Carter was very surprised. Although she was older, she still clearly remembered that Angus, now Adrian, had been killed in battle, and a brief mourning ceremony was held in the camp. , Angus was the only confirmed dead member of the commando team that year, apart from Bucky Barnes, who fell off a cliff and disappeared.

"It's a long story."

"Look at me, I have been free for a long time, and the most important thing now is time. I think your story must be more interesting than this book." Peggy Carter quickly recovered from her surprise and said.

"Thanks to you for adapting so quickly."

"After all, you are not the first one. Have you met Steve?"

"Not yet. I've just been back for a few months and I'm busy dealing with some things."

"You should go and meet him. I think he will be very happy to see you."

"I'll go when I have time."

"How did you find this place?" To protect her, her location was kept strictly confidential, so Peggy Carter was curious about where Adrian got the information.

"Howard's son helped. He is now a member of the Avengers and has certain authority within SHIELD."

"Iron Man? He is often reported on TV. His character is exactly the same as his father when he was young."

"Yes, it's almost a replica."

"Let's tell you your story."

……

Hiding some important things, Adrian told Peggy Carter about his identity and some experiences.

"So that's it, cough cough cough..." After hearing this, Peggy Carter became a little excited and coughed violently.

Adrian quickly helped Peggy Carter up and fed her some water.

"I can't compare to you!" Peggy Carter sighed. She spent her whole life fighting against all kinds of enemies and discrimination, but the years gradually wore her down, and she was even pushed to London for retirement when she got old.

"By the way, I have a ring here."

"What ring?"

"Try it, it might work." Adrian took out Helga's flesh ring and handed it to Peggy Carter.

As a former comrade, Peggy Carter trusted Adrian, and she put the flesh ring on her finger.

"how do you feel?"

"fantastic……"

"It seems to be effective. If the Mandarin knew about it, he would cry." According to the information feedback obtained, the Mandarin spent a long time finding the adapter for the ability ring, and the several rings that Adrian obtained were easily found. As an adapter, there was a natural discord between him and the Mandarin.

"Where did it come from? Who is the Mandarin?" Peggy Carter could clearly feel an energy constantly filling her weak body. She even felt that she could stand up now.

"An enemy. I came to London this time just to find him, but I don't have any clues now." Adrian told Peggy Carter some information about the Mandarin.

"I still have some influence in London that might be able to help."

"Someone is coming. I'll take shelter for now." Hearing the movement outside the door, Adrian dodged into the shadows.

"How..." Just as she was about to speak, Peggy Carter turned her head and lost sight of Adrian.

"Ms. Carter, it's time for you to rest." The nurse opened the door and came in, reminding Carter to take a rest.

"It's okay, Ferola, I'm not tired yet."

"You look very good now," said nurse Ferrola. At this time, Peggy Carter's face was rosy, and she no longer looked sick as before.

"Yes, I feel great. Ferola, please help me get the phone."

“Is there anyone you’d like to contact?”

"Some old friends."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Ferrola returned to the room with a wireless phone and handed it to Peggy Carter. After seeing Ferola outside, Peggy Carter dialed a number.

"Hello?"

"Hi honey."

"Teacher Carter?"

"it's me."

"Teacher, are you okay? We plan to visit you over the weekend."

"Little Fanny, I need you to do me a favor."

"You say."

"Help me pay attention to the buildings along the Tame River, especially some old buildings and villas, but don't make too much noise."

"Teacher, can I ask what you want to do?"

"Do an old friend a favor."

"Okay, I will send someone, no, I will personally take someone to investigate."

"Thank you, little Fanny."

……

Peggy Carter hung up the phone and Adrian jumped out of the shadows.

"Thank you."

"For some small things, I should just thank you. This ring is magical. I feel energetic now, as if I am 10 years younger."

"Will this get you into trouble?"

"Don't worry, Fanny is my student and is trustworthy."

"That's good. This is my phone number. If you have any news, just contact me. I will come see you again when I have time." After saying that, Adrian left with the help of the shadow.

"It's really a convenient ability."
