"Where's Pietro?" Falcon asked from his seat while watching Captain America and Anakin fighting.

"I don't know." Captain America replied.

Life back on Coruscant was the same as before. They exchanged combat skills and discussed some issues with Anakin, Kenobi, Aayla, and Ahsoka.

Falcon asked, "Do we need to learn the Force?"

"In a way, I don't think we've really explained how the Force works," Obi-Wan said.

Captain America recalled the scene when he first met the Nedi Jedi Master, and said: "Master Terra Sa once told me something about the Force. It is the source of your power, right?"

Obi-Wan nodded.

"The Force affects everything you can see and cannot see, from the plants growing in your garden to the ships in the sky. The Force has always existed in the galaxy, and we Jedi are one of its many practitioners."

Captain America became interested in what Obi-Wan called "one of the many practitioners" and asked, "Are there any others?"

Aayla said: "Yes, in fact, the current war sweeping the entire galaxy was carefully planned by our ancient enemy, the Sith."

"Sith?" War Machine asked confused.

War Machine's puzzled expression surprised all four Jedi.

Ahsoka asked in surprise, "Wait, you've never heard of the Sith? You've been in the galaxy for so long and no one has told you?"

The Avengers just shook their heads.

Falcon asked curiously, "So~ Sith...?"

Obi-Wan explained, "Sith: the ancient enemies of the Jedi Order. Our conflict with the Sith dates back a long time, perhaps almost 7000 years, maybe longer. They have been one of the root causes of various conflicts and wars in the galaxy, all of which stem from their hatred for the Jedi Order."

Falcon's eyes were filled with gossip. "Hey, tell me about the grudges between you two."

"We thought the Sith were extinct after the seventh and final Battle of Ruusan over a thousand years ago."

Ayla said bluntly: "It turns out that we were so self-righteous that we didn't know about the resurgence of the Sith for a long time."

"Now, the Sith are back, destroying the hard-earned peace in the galaxy with war and their desire for power." Anakin said in a slightly gloomy tone.

Captain America, Falcon, and War Machine remained silent. After going through a lot of things, they no longer casually express their opinions on something before fully understanding all the facts.

"So, if these Sith guys come back, who's the leader?" Falcon asked.

Kenobi frowned and said, "We don't know yet."

War Machine thought he had misheard and asked in shock, "You don't know?"

"We only know that the Sith Lord is related to Count Dooku. He mentioned the possibility of a Sith Lord becoming a senator of the Galactic Republic, a Sith who infiltrated the Republic..."

The Avengers looked at each other with sharp eyes, especially Captain America and Falcon. Captain America asked in a very serious tone, "What did you just say?"

The tone of his voice surprised the Jedi, they had never heard Cap speak in such a manner.

"Are you sure he said that?" Falcon asked, "This guy named Dooku said there might be a Sith Lord in the Senate?"

War Machine also asked coldly: "Have you investigated?"

The Jedi Knights were taken aback by the sudden barrage of interrogative questions. They had come to know the Avengers somewhat, an organization whose members came from all walks of life, had different experiences, and had very different personalities, but still managed to work as a cohesive unit.

However, this was the first time the four Jedi had seen such grim expressions on the Avengers' faces. The reaction was... disturbing.

As they were about to discuss the issue further, the conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Master Yoda, who then left with Kenobi and Anakin.

"Uh..." Ahsoka didn't really know what to say, "I...I have to study."

Ahsoka found an excuse and left in a hurry. She felt that the three Avengers were a little scary and strange at the moment.

Falcon and War Machine were a little embarrassed. They just realized that their attitude was a little too radical, just like interrogating a criminal. But then again, what happened on Earth a year ago was still vivid in their minds, so it was no wonder that they were a little paranoid.

As the two were about to leave, Ella walked up to Captain America and whispered, "Steve, can you come with me to the library?"

Cap looked at the Twi'lek Jedi in surprise, then glanced at his teammates, who simply shrugged.

"of course can."

Ella and Captain America walked side by side in silence, both looking straight ahead. The corridor was empty.

Captain America had a strange, indescribable feeling at this moment. He wanted to sit down with his head in his hands and be alone for a while, because he always felt that something flashed through his mind, but he could never catch it, which made him a little crazy.

"Captain Rogers, you look troubled," Ella said calmly.

Captain America frowned, finding it strange and uncomfortable that someone he considered a friend was using such a formal address, and murmured a "hmm".

Ella looked at Captain America and asked, "Will you tell me?"

"You are troubled, Steve. Although you have no Force in your body, it does not prevent me from using the Force to sense your feelings."

Captain America stared at the ground and muttered, "I don't know what to say."

Ella said softly, "I'm not forcing you to say anything. It's entirely up to you."

There was a brief silence between the two...

"When I woke up after being frozen for nearly 70 years, I found myself in a world I barely recognized. The world was at war when I was frozen. When I woke up, they told me we had won, but they didn't mention what we had lost. The world was still functioning well without me."

He smiled slightly, and continued, "For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to do the right thing. But now I don't know what the right thing is. Even with the Avengers, I thought that by serving, helping every organization I could, I could find my place in the world again..."

Captain America sighed slightly tiredly, "Then Obi-Wan mentioned that this Sith Lord had infiltrated the Senate. To be honest, Sam, Natasha, and I have experienced this before."

"Have you ever experienced this before?" Ella asked curiously.

Seeing no need to hide this little story, Cap recounts the events of the previous year on his home world, where Hydra infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. and hatched a half-century-long plan of global control, a plan that would have most likely succeeded if not for the last-minute intervention of Cap and his team.

As they spoke, Aayla suddenly began to feel a strange... reaction. The Force... it was reacting to Cap's words, his mood, his story!

Then, a cold sweat fell from her forehead. What on earth was that?

The Force...is this a warning?

"Ella?"

Aayla came back to her senses, "I'm sorry, Steve. I feel something in the Force."

Cap wasn't sure what that meant, but he had heard from other Jedi that the Force gave them a sense of foresight that could warn them of incoming threats in advance. That's why they were able to deflect blaster rounds in the heat of battle.

"What does that mean?" Captain America asked.

Aayla didn't answer at first, trying to figure out what could have caused such a reaction. When she thought about it, she only remembered Cap talking about HYDRA and their infiltration of the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization.

Now, she had a terrible headache. "I'm sorry, Steve... I don't know, I just felt overwhelmed all of a sudden. Learning about all the actions of this Hydra you mentioned, suddenly made me a little exhausted. I don't know why."

Captain America looked at Ayla and noticed that she did look exhausted, and thought to himself, "What the hell is going on?"

"Maybe you should take a rest. You don't look very well right now," Captain America suggested.

Ella simply nodded and walked wearily towards her room, hoping that resting would help her clear her mind.
