Alive

After saying hello to the neighbor's wife and closing the door of the apartment, the smile on my face stiffened a little bit and finally broke.

Perry's life in modern times can be described as "rich and colorful".

Aliens have invaded the earth, and S.H.I.E.L.D. formed the Avengers to save the world.Steve was also one of them.

Perry wasn't in New York the day the fight happened, but even if she was there she wouldn't do much.It's not about tearing down London, Lancasters who have always been selfish will naturally not meddle in other people's business.

I remember that there are sanctuaries in New York and London, so Lancaster will take care of the group of people who are engaged in occult arts.

As for the dark elves attacking London... that's all for the future.

"So...you're not Perry."

In Captain America's apartment, Perry was sitting opposite him, and he was no longer in the green military uniform.

"I'm not my grandmother Perry Carter, but I'm also called Perry."

She looked at Steve as if she were still in a front barracks.

Steve didn't speak, just looked at Perry's familiar face.After a while, the gentleman of the last century finally realized that it was not polite to stare at a lady for a long time, so he looked away.

"My grandmother told me a lot about you, and so did Paige," Perry said, watching Steve's expression.

That's not really a happy expression.

"You can call me Perry, too," she said.

The room fell silent again.

After a long time, Steve responded.

And the tone of this American soldier from the last century was full of indescribable loneliness.

"Perry is a good name..." he added to himself. "Bucky said it meant fairies."

After talking for a while, Perry almost couldn't hold the cup in his hand.

She knew that sooner or later she would hear Bucky's name again from Steve, or something about Bucky.

But she never thought it would be like this.

I didn't expect it to be this sentence.

She put away her broken expression, and when she raised her head again, she had a gentle smile with a sense of distance.

"If you need anything, please call me." Perry put the note with his phone number on the coffee table.

Steve saw the signature on the note—Perry Carter.

"If you want to see Peggy, you can also call me."

She added another sentence, as if she wanted to get some response from him.But Steve didn't speak.

The whole house was dull and depressing, and Perry decided it was time to get out and about.

As they descended the stairs, Perry met Sharon Carter, the niece who looked somewhat like Peggy.She was walking upstairs with a stack of freshly washed clothes in her arms. When their eyes met, both of them were startled.

"I think you just came out of Steve's house, maybe you are also his friend." Sharon said immediately. "I'm his neighbor across the way, Kate, a nurse."

Would you introduce yourself so much to a neighbor friend?

This is a completely unnecessary explanation.

Perry twitched the corner of his mouth and walked straight down the stairs.

Who can guarantee that the person who sent Sharon here didn't have the intention of using a beauty trick?

But Peggy Carter was still alive!Sharon is her own niece!

This is S.H.I.E.L.D. created by Peggy and Howard.

so disgusting.

However, this should also be considered reasonable.After all, the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. has long been in the past. As far as Perry knows, it is not too much to say that the current S.H.I.E.L.D.

But as long as he thinks that it was established by Peggy and Howard, Perry doesn't take it for granted.

Paige and... Howard.

Howard died in a car accident.

A car accident that turned out to be suspicious.

When Perry came back three years ago, he thought he would see Howard Stark, who was wrinkled but still liked to tease girls.

In this way, Perry can openly tell this woman friend, Howard, take care of your body.

Then take a look at what the fairy Mrs. Stark who has conquered Howard looks like.

But she only saw two cold tombstones.

She missed too much.

Perry missed the acquaintance with the Soviet female agent Dotty whom he liked very much, missed the adventure story of stopping Hydra, missed the exciting journey to find the red house, and missed the funny scene where Howard molested Dotty and was beaten. Missed the glorious years when Peggy dominated the political arena...

She also misses the ups and downs of how Peggy and Howard went about building S.H.I.E.L.D.

Even, she missed the last period of Howard's life.

"I kind of miss Howard."

In the nursing home, Perry said to Peggy, who was sitting on the bed.

"Everyone has to face death, Perry, this is a very normal thing." She stroked Perry's hair, smiling calmly. "I will die too."

Perry looked at her eyes that were no longer clear and clear, and her wrinkled cheeks, like a withered rose, the branches, leaves and petals would be yellow withered.

"But I don't want to lose you..." She buried herself in Margaret's arms, her voice getting smaller and smaller, and finally there was a whimper.

"I thought people who lived longer would be more open." Peggy joked, and took out a piece of strawberry candy from the bedside. "Every time you come, I will keep it for you."

Perry looked up with red eyes, and Margaret stuffed the candy into her mouth and wiped away the few tears.

"You remind me of when you were eight years old." Peggy fell into the memory. "A face of grievance, but indifferent and awkward, no one dares to approach."

"Why are you still a child after so many years, huh?"

"In fact, I sleep most of the time. I'm not alive until I go out and see the world."

"Howard also said that if you don't date a beautiful girl, you don't count as alive." Peggy spoke with a little smile and a little nostalgia.After a while, she asked about the progress of that matter again.Perry paused, feeling even worse.

"Since Ivchenko and Dr. Romanov, I haven't felt his breath on anyone... Or, it's been too long. The breath has appeared, and I don't know. "

Perry lowered his head, just looking at the thin blanket on Peggy's body.She flipped the candy in her mouth with her tongue, and endured the soreness rushing to the tip of her nose.

"He might really be dead...Maybe the Soviets only dealt with the corpse..."

A drop of tear fell on the quilt, smearing large water stains.

Then a second, and a third, more and more tears fell on the thin blanket of Paige's body, and she patted Perry's twitching shoulder softly.The room was silent except for suppressed sobs.

You probably won't come back, Bucky.I may never find you.

In that snow-covered valley, I have been looking for you for seven days and seven nights.

But you're gone, Bucky.

[Perry, as long as it exists, there will be a mark. 】

But you will not come back.

S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't need Perry to pretend to be Perry to lie to Captain America, but as a clerk, she can still do innocuous information on the periphery of S.H.I.E.L.D. as an n-line employee.

It's irrelevant, it's not a problem with her or without her.

So Perry went back to Lancaster to find a spell to summon spirits, a priest to resurrect a dead body.

She found a way, but she didn't have Bucky's blood.

The blood drawn many years ago disappeared along with the gunfire.

Except for that Danqi lipstick that I never used again, there is not even a single photo.

Perry went to the Smithsonian.

She didn't want to forget what Bucky looked like.

【Bucky Barnes

1917-1944

He was the only member of the Howling Commandos to die for his country. 】

As long as it exists, there will be a mark.So... Bucky, history will remember your sacrifice.

Perry stood all afternoon in front of Sergeant Barnes' display.

"He is dead, no amount of waiting is futile."

"I gave up……"

Sorry, Bucky.

Something happened to S.H.I.E.L.D., and director Fury was assassinated.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it was an assassination. A firework show of shooting, killing and explosion was staged on the street openly.Later, I heard that the director went to Captain America's house to take refuge or something, but he was shot to the point and died completely.

But that's none of Perry's business. If a new director can give these poor clerks a raise, she might be tempted to applaud the turmoil.

But something strange just happened.

Perry didn't get a raise, but she got a promotion, and she jumped three grades in a row.

So now Perry can applaud and say that he is an insider of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The new director is called Pierce, with a wrinkled face but always smiling, he looks more friendly than the buried Fury.

On the day the new official took office, he went to a newly promoted clerk's office specially set up to appease the employees.Perry was standing in the last row furthest away from him, but somehow felt that his breath was very comfortable.

It was a familiar, nostalgic smell.

Perry first made sure that he didn't have an Electra complex, and then borrowed a cat from a neighbor to chat to make sure his perception ability was not broken.

Then this is strange, why does the breath on Pierce make people feel...familiar and nostalgic?

It happened that the team leader of the clerk's office asked Perry to hand over a written report to Pierce, and she also felt Pierce's...

"Soldier."
