The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

New York--

Steve rode a Harley and quickly arrived at the place where the strange light appeared, surrounded by a barren overgrown with weeds, and the tall and low grass seemed to hide a mystery.There are no residential areas or farms nearby. Steve parked the Harley on the side of the road, took the shield in his hand, and took off the clothes covering the shield.

"I want to take pictures of passing passengers." Steve said after making a preliminary judgment,

Howard pointed into the grass and said, "I feel that the energy source is not far from us, at three o'clock."

Steve said anxiously: "Are you sure you can go there?"

"Of course, the energy of this world won't cause harm to me." Howard didn't tell the truth. Any energy, even ordinary gamma rays, will affect the spirit body, it's just a matter of size.

Although Steve didn't fully believe what he said, he still respected Howard's choice: "Be careful." Steve said, "If anything goes wrong, you leave immediately."

"Is this an order, Captain." Howard said with a smile.

Steve said flatly, "Just out of concern."

The two walked into the grass, carefully moving slowly towards the source of energy.

Steve can't see or perceive any supernatural powers and phenomena. Although he has received special training for a month, he now knows that simple training without talent can't make up for congenital defects, and he can only rely on Howard's guidance. Find the target.

While being vigilant around him, Steve didn't forget to pay attention to the changes in Howard.

In fact, he had the same confusion as Ma Linglong, Steve couldn't figure out Howard's mind, why did he still stay by his side?Although he occasionally goes to Stark's place, most of the time, Howard seems to prefer to stay close to him.Steve wasn't sure if Howard had any special purpose, he had hoped he would say it, whatever it was, Steve was willing to help him, but Howard insisted on keeping it secret.

"The day before yesterday." Howard said suddenly, "I went to see Peggy."

Steve's shoulders trembled visibly.

"She's old, but she's still charming, and I guess you think so." Howard paused. "I'm sorry, for both of you, and more of you, of course."

"If I understand correctly, Howard." Steve said, his eyes still maintained a high degree of concentration, even if a sniper was ambushing in the grass, Steve would not miss it, "You are no longer protected by me and Stark is restrictive, right? You can go anywhere you want, no matter how far away it is?"

Howard was silent for a while before replying: "In theory, it is, but it must not go beyond the scope of the United States."

"Go on," Steve said, "About Peggy, didn't she startle when she saw you?" He wanted to know about Peggy, the past, what she really went through.Things that Peggy never talked about, and he never pressed, but Steve wanted to know so badly.

Including her husband.

"No." Howard said, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I think Peggy saw me from the beginning, I mean, when you didn't know I existed, I think you still remember when The first time you meet Peggy in a nursing home, she's so reactive, she's almost out of breath."

"remember."

Steve doesn't react at first, he takes his shield and sweeps through every weed that's nearly taller than a man's head, and Steve cuts a shortcut that's usually deep in the haystack along the way.A few seconds later, Steve suddenly realized something, he didn't know whether he should thank that special training for the extra knowledge that he had brought him, or blame the weird content for telling him a sad answer.

Only dying people can see things from the other world, which means Peggy has less and less time so she can see Howard in his spirit state.

"For a long time, Peggy couldn't let you go. Even though everyone had let you go, even me, she firmly believed that you would come back." Howard continued, "She always remembers the one you promised. dance."

"I'm sorry." Steve turned his head, "I can't help..."

"Peggy doesn't want to hear you say sorry for this, so I just pretend I didn't hear it." Howard said quickly, "I'm not telling you this to make you feel guilty, if what I'm about to say next will make you cry If you don't, Captain, I don't think I need to go on at this time, I guess you didn't bring tissues or anything."

"No, please go ahead, or have you ever seen me cry?" Steve frowned, "I'd love to hear everything about Peggy, I miss so much, I'm even obsessed with her husband No impression, but she said that I saved that person."

"Gabe Jones (Gabe Jones), the village where he lived was attacked, and you just happened to deal with the enemy before he was killed. You didn't know him because you saved many people at that time, and he was just one of them." Howard calmly Said, "He's a black man and a good Secret Service officer. Of course, there were several suitors before him, and Peggy was very popular, but at that time, she couldn't get out of thinking about you." Come." 【Note】

This is like a hint from Howard to Steve. He doesn't know if Steve has heard it. Howard hopes that he will not be as deep in the past as Peggy.

Black person?

Steve suddenly understood many things. Peggy's love life must have been very difficult. In that era of excess racism, a white person and a black person were destined not to receive a blessed voice.Steve couldn't imagine how Peggy persisted. It must be that man named Gabe Jones who gave her enough courage and absolute confidence.

He was immediately in awe of the man.

"Peggy must love him very much," Steve said.

"It's hard to say what kind of relationship there is between them. The two supported and encouraged each other in the war, and resolved each other's troubles in adversity. There is no doubt that Gabe loves her very much. For Peggy, he will do whatever he wants him to do." Yes. Gabe has a lot of you, except for the skin color and the super serum." Howard said seriously, "I think you must want to say that this is impossible, or that it is unfair to Gabe, and Peggy must love him Yes, it’s just that this love was based on you at the beginning, and Gabe knows Peggy’s thoughts very well, because he also thinks that you are worth Peggy’s forever remembering.”

"It sounds like..." Steve turned his head again, he didn't know what to say, it was hard for him to imagine what kind of emotional bond Peggy and Gabe had.

"Gabe is not your replacement, don't take that to heart, I said, that's just the beginning." Howard explained, "You and Peggy have such a profound influence on each other that she, of course, With you, it's hard for both of you to let go of each other, but you always do when you meet the right person."

"It's kind of weird," Steve said. "Why aren't there any black people among Peggy's kids? I've seen pictures of them, and it's on Peggy's bedside."

"Adopted," Howard said. "The government concealed it, including her husband and children. They claimed that those children were Peggy's own. Of course, Peggy did treat them as her own."

"Why?" Steve turned his head angrily, and he stopped, completely ignoring the danger that might arise at any time.

"Because of the bloody racial discrimination." Howard was also filled with righteous indignation, "Given Peggy's position at the time, the government would never recognize their marriage, but Peggy insisted on marrying Gabe regardless of anyone's objections. Of course, they At least they have been blessed by the priest, and they are a legal couple." He said, "However, Gabe died in a dangerous mission in the third year of marriage, and they had no children at that time, and the government asked Peggy to conceal the relationship between them. relationship. That’s why all you see are the children but not the husband, and you’ll never be able to find that because the government files don’t have it.”

Steve had no hope for the government. During the bloody years he participated in the battle, the best effort the government made was to publicize that Captain America was enough to save all mankind, and sell national debt in this way.He doesn't think the government's actions are completely wrong. During the war, people need to rely on lies to whitewash disasters to comfort the people. Steve knows this well, although he scoffs.

But he never thought that even after the war ended, the government's shameless behavior would not only not be curbed, but would intensify.

"Steve, did Peggy ever tell you that she wants you to live your own life? In fact, I hope you do, too. Because you don't have to go through everything that happened to Peggy. What you miss is what makes you live your life. Peggy is miserable, she has been running for half a century. It was a long and difficult process, even more than the war itself. And you are still young, although you are Captain America, you don't have to be America all the time Captain, you have your own ideas, you are no longer a regular soldier, you can make more choices."

Steve looked at him with some confusion: "Are you telling me not to be Captain America?"

"No, you will always be Captain America. No one is qualified to say that you are not, not even me." Howard said eagerly, and he emphasized, "But Captain America must serve the United States, right? You can consider When you fight by yourself, you know what justice is in your heart, not because the country or someone teaches you to understand it, this is the life Peggy wants you to live."

Steve was a little dull, and he realized that he didn't seem to be that smart, and he couldn't understand it.

But before his doubts could be explained, he was interrupted by the abnormal noise of the grass.

Steve subconsciously protected Howard behind his body, not even noticing that doing so was completely unnecessary. He put the shield on his chest, his eyes fixed on the direction of the sound.

A tall and tall man stood in front of Steve pushing aside the spikes of grass. He glanced at the star shield representing Captain America and smiled proudly.The man's blond hair was like the rays of the sun. He looked at Steve opposite him with a pair of clear blue eyes, and then said, "Steve Rogers?"

Steve felt that the man was similar, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity made him feel very strange: "Who are you?"

"Steve Rogers." The man stood upright and gave Steve a military salute, "From another time and space."

Los Angeles--

The empty wine glasses on the bar were piled up in front of the two women, Toni's cheeks were a little flushed, she wasn't drunk yet, just a little tipsy.Ma Linglong didn't intend to let her continue drinking. The female Stark's drinking capacity was not much different from the one she was familiar with.Getting drunk is a matter of time.

With a wave of her hand, all the empty wine glasses disappeared.

In Toni's world, Ma Linglong has died. This is sad and bad news. It means that Ma Linglong in this world will also experience death, because no matter which parallel world Ma Linglong will encounter the same thing.

It doesn't take long to know how much Toni and Ma Wenlong care about each other. Death is undoubtedly a cruel parting for the two, or for the living one.They had loved each other so much that Toni couldn't get over the sadness even now after she had mentioned his name a few minutes ago.

But it's just sad, not painful.

"You have the same reaction as all Ma Linglongs when they heard the news." Toni obviously didn't come here specially to get drunk, so she didn't make any noise even if the wine was confiscated. It can also be said that every time she met Ma Linglong from a different parallel time and space, It's all the same scene, "I thought you were a girl, at least the reaction would be bigger."

"Your reaction is bigger than mine." Of course Ma Linglong was not as calm as she appeared on the surface, because of her personality, she couldn't panic, and she was still alive anyway.On the contrary, Ma Linglong cared more about Toni's mood. She looked very sad. What Ma Linglong had to do at this time was to keep her emotions from being affected by the other party as much as possible. "It's a pity that I'm a woman. I don't think you need My hug?"

"You all said the same thing." Toni smiled, "Even the same expression, God, it's a good thing you're not a man."

"Then you must find it boring, like watching repeated movie clips." Ma Linglong remembered that Toni said that she was the only female descendant of the Ma family she had ever met, which shows that before Ma Linglong, Toni was indeed The same method was seen with other male Ma Linglong, and even the opening remarks were similar.

"Staying with you will never be boring, even a girl." Toni said sincerely, "I think this is the common cognition of all 'Starks', I think I forgot to say, male you, with The male me is also very close." Toni suddenly squatted on the bar, and she whispered: "You can ask me anything, since I must have a purpose in appearing in front of you, you can guess what I want what to you." She winked playfully.

Stark's cleverness flashed in her eyes, Ma Linglong was so familiar with that look, whenever Stark was about to show off in front of her, he would show this expression: "How did he die?" Ma Ling Long asked bluntly, "You came to me to avoid the same fate as him, didn't you?"

"How can you be so smart? You should at least pretend to think about it." Toni grabbed Ma Linglong's face indifferently, "But I just like your serious look."

Ma Linglong held her face, Toni's presumptuous behavior did not bring her any discomfort, but this gesture was extremely strange, Stark would not do similar behavior to Ma Linglong, most of the time he was Using kisses to replace his excess enthusiasm for girls.

"Don't be surprised, I was the only one who did it to 'you' just now." Toni saw Ma Linglong's doubts, "Not every 'Stark' has exactly the same personality, we are not clones, just Even the looks are different, you can't expect me to have a beard can you? The same goes for you, male you are actually more conservative, like they can't wear miniskirts. The same thing happens in different time and space , but the details are bound to be different." She looked at her and said, "Have you solved the Shenlong problem?"

Ma Linglong nodded slightly. She believed that there were indeed discrepancies in the details that Toni said, because Stark in this time and space had already removed the reactor. Since Toni knew that the dragon was no longer on her body, it proved that the world she was in, time It should be after Stark's surgery.

But there was still that blue halo on Toni's chest.

Toni continued: "He died for Sirius, by Voldemort, you must know what I'm talking about, Avada Kowalow."

"When did this happen?" Ma Linglong asked. She was a little surprised. Even without Toni's appearance, Ma Linglong thought that something unexpected might happen to her. After all, without the blessing of the dragon, her fate would have changed. .Ma Linglong always thought that her death had to do with Stark, why Sirius?

"Don't worry." Toni said, "Things that happen in the parallel world are not always at the same time. I can't tell you an exact time of death. At least in my world, Wen left me for five years, but this world But you still exist." She paused, "You can see for yourself, it will be more memorable to you than what I said."

"Look?"

Toni pointed to her head and said: "Enter my consciousness, you can see everything I have experienced, of course, if you want, you can also learn new sex skills, you know I am good at this You have more experience than you have caught ghosts."

Yes, Ma Linglong remembered that Toni had said that she was married, so she definitely wasn't with a man. In five years, another man walked into Toni's heart. It was not easy, it was simply too difficult.That man could even make the arrogant Toni willing to be his wife. He must be a very powerful but gentle man.

Ma Linglong didn't intend to ask this question, at least not now, that was not what she wanted to care about, because Ma Linglong didn't really want Stark to find another girl or even marry him after her death.

Toni's conscious world has been adjusted, there is no chaotic picture, and there is no content about sex/love that she deliberately said in a pornographic tone. What Ma Linglong sees is only what Toni wants The part she knows.

Probably because of the male relationship, Ma Wenlong’s way of dealing with the Afghan terrorists was not as roundabout and troublesome as Ma Linglong’s. He was more direct. He snatched Raza’s wand and detonated all the weapons from Stark Industries in the base. .Not only Toni, Ma Yunlong also saved Ethan, he didn't even hurt Ethan, Ma Linglong really admired his decisiveness.

Ma Wenlong was still a local like Ma Linglong before, so when he appeared in front of Toni in his original form, she fell in love with the man at first sight.

"Hey, Dra, I'm going to have a party tonight, and I want you to be my boyfriend." Toni hung up her bluetooth headset, and she sat in a cool sports car and sorted it out in front of the mirror. Carefully trimmed long hair. 【Dra is the extension of the dragon】

"I'm not at the bar." Ma Wenlong said, Drayson is his English name.

"That's really strange." Toni took out a piece of lipstick and dabbed it gently on her lips, "I figured out that you're in the bar. You're a bad boy, but your methods of deceiving women are very clumsy."

"I'm inconvenient today." Ma Wenlong looked pale and powerless just like Ma Linglong's refusal of Stark's crazy pursuit, "You go back."

"In that case." Toni got out of the car, and she stepped on 10cm high heels, "Then I will immediately notify the media that today's party will be held at your bar, if you insist on refusing to meet me." She stood The door of the bar, said angrily, "Open your damn door, I know you have a crush on me, I can feel it, it's a perfect coincidence, I like you too, I'm not flirting with you, you know I no."

"Get out of this place." Ma Wenlong's voice came from the receiver, "You shouldn't have come."

"You gotta give me a reason Drayson if you're a man don't lock yourself in the house oh forgot to mention I've bought your bar so it's mine now I want to come Come on." Toni said as she took out a pistol/gun, and she probably wanted to blast the door open with bullets.

Ma Linglong was glad that Stark was not so barbaric at the time, she knew why Ma Wenlong rejected Toni, and Toni was sucked away by the ghost of the bar, and almost died, just like what happened to Stark at the beginning.

Obviously Toni was even more arrogant. She actually bought the bar. It should be said that she bought the entire Hell Town. She didn't care whether this place was worth buying.

Actually Stark also bought Hell Town, but that happened after he and Marin Long lived together.

"I hope you know it's very late now, you don't want to see me sleeping in the wild alone. I'm Natasha Stark, you know what will happen? I'm very likely to be kidnapped again, And you have to save me again, why don't we choose a compromise, you open the door and let me in, and it's best to allow me to spend the night." Toni said very loudly, she seemed to want to let the people in the room When the man heard that he was really standing outside, she put on makeup, had her hair done, and wore a sexy little dress, which was the color Ma Wenlong liked, so she wouldn't just walk away so easily.

Wait, Ma Linglong noticed that the man himself originally liked black.

Ma Linglong didn't know if Ma Wenlong opened the door afterwards, she guessed that he probably had nothing to do with Toni, because the next moment, what Ma Linglong saw was their life after living together.The relationship between the two developed much faster, probably because Toni was a girl, Ma Wenlong fell in love with her very quickly, and they got engaged a year later, when Harry was only in the second grade.

The elders of Kunlun Mountain should be very angry. Toni is obviously not their daughter-in-law.

Many things happened between them are different from those of Ma Linglong and Stark,

Ma Yunlong is very indifferent to Toni on the surface, he is not enthusiastic at all, and he will not wear sexy clothes to seduce Toni, he has never even said "I love you" to her.But Toni doesn't mind this, she can feel that he treats her in every possible way, Ma Wenlong is different from other men around Toni.

Although sometimes Toni would force Ma Wenlong to say "I love you" all afternoon.

Unfortunately, until now, she has not heard.

The author has something to say:

The conversation between the captain and Huo Dae was mainly to hint at the captain's extreme distrust of the government in Team 3.

【Gabe Jones】: Peggy's husband in the comics.

The next chapter will reveal the cause of Ma Wenlong's death, and Ma Linglong will get a brand new wand.
