The Third Winter Soldier

After Rosen and Lilith entered the elevator leading to the underground garage, just as the elevator door was about to close, they heard a boy shout: "Hey, wait a minute!"

Rosen stretched out his hand to block the elevator door, and looked at the skinny boy who was struggling to come running from a distance. After entering the elevator, the boy smiled gratefully at him and said, "Thank you, sir!" Then, he looked up and saw the Lilith beside Rosen was taken aback, "You!"

Lilith glanced at him, then looked away.

"Don't you remember me?" He didn't stop talking because of Lilith's ignorance, "You really don't remember me? Hey, at the Caesar Hotel, don't you remember? You saved me!"

The thin boy's words successfully brought Rosen and Lilith's attention to him. He showed his white teeth and smiled.

Lilith looked at him. In fact, the moment he entered the elevator, she had already recognized this guy. He was the smoky boy who fought with Bucky in the Caesar Hotel that day, but Lilith didn't expect him to be so persistent. Ask her to "remember", "I remember."

"Really? I thought you didn't look like you remembered just now!" He said with a smile, "I'm so sorry that I ran away without saying thank you to you that day. It was because the matter was too urgent. I... "

"You're welcome, can you please be quiet now?" Lilith interrupted him.

"Okay!" The boy paused for a while, then suddenly reached out to her, "My name is Lucas, what about you?"

Lilith stared at his outstretched hand and said nothing.

"My name is Lucas, what about you?" He said again, looking at Lilith friendly. "what's your name?"

Rosen turned to look at Lilith.

Lilith said blankly: "You don't need to know my name!"

"Why? Could it be that I ran away first, so are you angry?" Lucas looked at her with some puzzlement.

"I just happened to save you. It wasn't my intention at the time. You don't need to be so grateful to me! Therefore, you don't need to know my name." Lilith said.

Lucas was silent for a few seconds, then stubbornly reached out to her eyes, and said, "Whether it's a coincidence or not, it's a fact that you saved me, so please tell me your name, please?"

Lilith raised her eyebrows. She didn't quite understand why the boy was so persistent in asking for his name. In her opinion, what happened that day was just an accident. If the person who fought with him wasn't Bucky, she might have turned around and left. Let alone save him.

Lucas met her surprised gaze and grinned, a little silly.

Lilith suddenly turned her eyes away and said bluntly, "Lilith!"

"Oh, hi, hello, Lilith, thank you for saving me that day." Lucas said solemnly.

Lilith nodded curtly.

At this time, the elevator reached the underground garage, and the door slowly opened.

Lilith got out of the elevator first, and after walking a few steps, she stopped there and waited for Rosen to come out, but she saw Rosen saying to Lucas, "Are you an employee here?"

Lucas shook his head.

Rosen nodded and got out of the elevator.

Lilith waited for Rosen to walk over, and walked forward again, when suddenly Lucas called out from behind: "Hey, Lilith, wait, Lilith!" She continued walking without stopping.

Lucas chased after him, reaching out to pull Lilith's arm. Unexpectedly, as if she had eyes, she quickly avoided his hand and looked at him slightly sideways.He smiled, took out a notebook from the schoolbag he was carrying, tore a piece of paper from it, took out a pencil from a bag outside the schoolbag, and hurriedly wrote on the paper. After handing over a line of words, he said solemnly: "If you are free, can I invite you to come to my school as a guest?"

Lilith glanced at him, and reluctantly took the piece of paper to avoid the entanglement of asking for his name just now.

"Please come!" Lucas said seriously.

Lilith stuffed the piece of paper casually into her trouser pocket, and hummed.

Lucas smiled and waved his hand, and walked in the other direction of the garage.

"He's the employee of the Caesar Hotel!?" Rosen asked suddenly standing beside him.

Lilith nodded.

"I saw him coming out of that door that day..." Rosen continued, "You saved him?"

"It's not a rescue." Lilith turned and walked to their car, "It's just a coincidence."

Rosen watched Lilith get into the car thoughtfully, wondering what she was thinking, and her expression was a little cloudy.

Lilith put down the car window, poked her head out and asked, "Aren't you going?"

Rosen remained silent, stretched out his hand to open the passenger door and sat in, turned to look at Lilith, and said for a while, "I'm a little confused, are you a good guy or a bad guy!"

"It doesn't matter if it's a good guy or a bad guy?" Lilith slowly backed out of the parking space and turned to the exit along the garage passage.

"You left Anna and me to do your own thing, and you didn't feel sorry for Anna's death, but you saved the injured people on the side of the road, and that little boy just now..." Rosen looked Front, "If you are a bad person, then I will have a clear conscience for revenge or punishment for you."

Lilith smiled and said, "Okay, so I'm a good person?" She laughed at herself, "No, I'm sorry, I don't think I was a good person from the moment I opened my eyes, and I don't want to be A good man."

Rosen's hands on his knees clenched into fists, "Why are you doing this to me? Lilith?"

Lilith turned her head and glanced at him, "What?"

Rosen didn't answer. He stared at the long passage ahead and clenched his fists tighter.

Lilith pondered for a while, then said softly: "By the way, you can fire me at any time without paying a penny of commission."

Hearing what she said, Rosen suddenly let out a cry, turned to look at her, shook his head slowly, and said, "No, Lilith, I will never fire you! You can't even use this method to leave me!"

Lilith was taken aback, not quite understanding what he said, "It's not a question of leaving you."

"Before you accept the punishment, you don't want to leave me!" Rosen said fiercely, as if he was speaking to Lilith, and he seemed to be speaking to himself.

"Okay!" Lilith shrugged and agreed without any objection.

"You promise!" Rosen stared at Lilith, "If you violate today's agreement, I will send someone to hunt you down! Until you die!"

Lilith thought for a while and said, "I can make this guarantee, but I have to remind you that with my ability, if I want to hide, even if you invite superheroes, you may not be able to hunt down me. "

Rosen stared at Lilith's confident face, the emotions in his heart were fighting like water and fire, the pain of losing his daughter in his heart and the secret and unspeakable emotions in his heart for Lilith were in fierce conflict, and they were incompatible with each other. Give way.

He silently turned his face away and looked out the window. The car had already left the Stark Tower and was merging into the traffic flow.

When the pain and anger of losing Anna got the better of him, he felt it was all Lilith's fault, but when his complex emotions got the better of him, he felt it wasn't actually Lilith's fault, None of this would have happened if he hadn't trusted the red-haired woman, or had managed to escape with Anna when the woman suggested playing a game.

However, no matter how these two emotions struggled, he finally attributed the mistake to Lilith, because he wanted to keep this woman!

"You should be very angry now, shouldn't you?" Lilith glanced at him, "Sorry, I think I'm really a bad person!"

Rosen slowly turned his head to look at her, suddenly laughed, and said, "You promise that you will never leave me before I punish you!"

"Since you don't mind, if I violate the agreement, you may not be able to..." Lilith thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay! No matter what, I promise!"

"Never leave me!" Rosen stared at Lilith's profile, "Say it!"

Lilith shrugged and nodded, "I promise... I will never leave you, before you punish me!"

Rosen deliberately ignored her last sentence, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.
