[Comprehensive] The Last Assassin

Time seemed to freeze in an instant.If the man's words and deeds were not too natural, Shen Qiong would almost call him a liar!

She looked at the man who was definitely not over 30 years old in front of her, and confirmed with difficulty: "Are you my father's friend? You know my father is over 80 years old this year. If you are his friend, you are my uncle—" She suddenly After a pause, he searched for an adjective, "But you look too—"

"Young?" Steve smiled indifferently, "Counting the 70 years I slept in, I'm actually over 90 years old."

"Henry should have mentioned to you that he had seen the blue cube that froze the sea." Steve said calmly, "I was the soldier who fell into the sea with the cube and was frozen into the sea."

Frozen for 70 years?

Shen Qiong tried her best to find relevant news in her mind, and it took a long while before she remembered the relevant incident.

Even in the East, the story grabs headlines because it's so surprising—Captain America, a World War II supersoldier who was found frozen in the depths of the sea, still alive, is expected to wake up again after 70 years.

Shen Qiong looked at Steve again with a slightly different look.

She hesitated: "Are you Captain America?"

The youth made a joke: "If he is also called Steve Rogers, and he was frozen for 70 years, then it is true."

Shen Qiong didn't pay much attention to the news at first, but she remembered it was because of Henry's reaction.

Henry broke the teacup after seeing the news—you know, this is almost impossible to happen to an assassin, even if the assassin is old.

At that time, the negative effect of time had already begun to appear on Shen Qiong's body. When she saw the new article, she couldn't help thinking, how would the reawakened Captain America face the world?

I thought my life was over, but I didn't expect to open my eyes one day, but can the joy of opening my eyes cover the panic of facing a strange world?

The "discomforts of life" are only the most trivial troubles. Facing a world where your loved ones have died and you are left behind by time-this is the most terrifying thing.

If Henry's friend is Captain America, Shen Qiong probably understands why Henry would ask him.

The former has been abandoned by time, and the latter is undergoing a process.

The moment Henry knew that the Brotherhood disappeared, he might have been mentally prepared that "Shen Qiong will be abandoned by time before the Piece of Eden is retrieved".She was suddenly asked to meet Steve Rogers, probably because this wise old man wanted to tell his adopted daughter a word through his friends.

——No matter what the outcome is, you need to face your future bravely.

— just like the warrior you saw.

Shen Qiong sighed softly.

The young man thought she still didn't believe it, so he explained: "If you still have doubts about my identity, I think Wikipedia has my encyclopedia and photos."

He said helplessly, "Although it's black and white."

Shen Qiong regained her composure, shook her head, and said, "I believe it. Did Henry say anything to you?"

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously, "Yes, he entrusted me to take care of you."

"You are Henry's daughter and my junior. It is my responsibility to take care of you."

Looking at his shining blue eyes, Shen Qiong wanted to say something——

I don't have a dad who looks like my brother.

"You can live with me first."

Steve Rogers took her back to his apartment, and pushed away a room facing south, a little embarrassed, "I don't know what you like, so I can only help you decorate briefly. If you need anything else, you can Make a list, and I will buy it for you tomorrow."

Shen Qiong followed Steve's gaze.I saw the bedroom with bright windows.

Steve Rogers himself lived in an apartment, and he vacated the best room in the apartment, and Shen Qiong could only swallow the sentence "I want to go to a mansion".This young man was obviously still wishing he couldn't get used to the fact that he suddenly had a junior who was not too young, and his attitude towards Shen Qiong was too gentle, making Shen Qiong think that he had an extra mother.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Qiong said to the nervous Steve, "Thank you for your kindness, I have nothing to criticize."

The young man was obviously relieved, and he joked to Shen Qiong: "That's good, Henry suddenly called me, which surprised me, after all, I thought—" His eyes like the blue sky paused for a moment, his tone It was also a little low, "I thought the friends from the beginning were gone."

"My father is very healthy, he can live for a long time." Shen Qiong didn't like others talking about her adoptive father's age, so she frowned and interrupted the youth.

The young man was not angry, but responded to her words with a smile: "Yes, I am very happy to receive news from Henry."

He recalled for a moment: "After all, Henry and his mentor helped us a lot in fighting Hydra."

Hearing about Henry Fry's past, Shen Qiong couldn't help pricking up her ears, leaned closer a few inches, with some anticipation but insisted on steadying herself, and said seemingly indifferently: "My father was probably only fourteen or five years old, and he was at that time Is it great?"

"Very powerful." Steve pretended that he didn't notice Shen Qiong's concern, and recalled with a smile, "I still remember the demeanor of his Hidden Sword unsheathed. At that time, he didn't look like a boy at all, on the contrary More sophisticated than us soldiers."

"Of course, you are also an excellent assassin." Mr. Rogers encouraged the younger generation at the right time, "I heard Henry say that at the age of 13, you dared to jump from a hundred feet."

When Shen Qiong heard this compliment, she didn't take it seriously. She tilted her head to look at Steve and asked, "Can you see the wind?"

Steve Rogers: "What?"

Shen Qiong said directly: "Just like the eagle spreads its wings and flies by the wind, so do I. Just catch the track of the wind and jump along the airflow they walk. It's very simple."

The short-term cooperation with the Assassins during World War II made Captain America Steve Rogers know that the Assassins have many secret skills, but these skills must not include "seeing the wind".

Seeing his smile, Shen Qiong knew that he took this sentence as a child's hysteria.However, the assassin didn't feel slighted because of this. She walked to the bay window in the house, untied the silk ribbon that tied the curtain, and pushed open the window sill, and the wind quickly blew up the silk ribbon she was holding. , the ribbon is fluttering against the trajectory of the wind.

The new assassin turned to look at Steve, his emerald pupils were full of seriousness: the wind blew past her fingertips along the raised ribbon, and Shen Qiong said: "Look, I caught the wind."

There was a flash of surprise in Steve's eyes. The young assassin in front of him was smiling a little proudly and proudly, which reminded him of Henry Fry back then inadvertently.

So he nodded and replied gently: "Yes, I saw it."

"But it's getting late." He raised his hand and looked at his watch. "You rest first, and I'll prepare dinner. Hate spaghetti?"

Shen Qiong subconsciously said: "I don't hate it."

"Okay, let's eat this tonight."

After all, the man who was wearing a t-shirt and slacks, whose taste was still in the last century, slightly closed the door for Shen Qiong, and walked to the kitchen.After a while, Shen Qiong heard the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen.

She sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the sky outside the house through the window, and couldn't help but wonder: Did Captain America cook Henry Fry the same way back then.

You must know that their father and daughter are in the same line, and they are notoriously bad at cooking-after so many years, the best sushi made by Shen Qiong is always sushi, which can be completed by knife skills and kneading rice, although Henry Fry knows a little more , the highest level is just barely edible.

——Henry Fraser will become friends with him every year, it must all depend on the personal charm of Captain America!

When Shen Qiong took a fork and stuffed the meat sauce noodles cooked by Captain America into her mouth, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

too delicious!

"I cooked a lot, do you want more?"

Shen Qiong took the paper towel handed over by the other party, wiped her hands, licked off the meat sauce on the corner of her mouth with her tongue, looked up at Steve Rogers innocently, and said firmly: "Yes!"

At night, the two of them looked at each other, only to realize that Shen Qiong forgot to bring her luggage, and Steve also forgot to prepare clothes for Shen Qiong.

After hesitating between the two, Steve reluctantly suggested: "...Otherwise, I'll lend you my clothes first."

Shen Qiong said sadly: "It's easy to talk about anything else, what about underwear, can you lend me too?"

Before Shen Qiong could say "Lend me, I can't wear it", Steve Rogers was already blushing because of this sentence.

He held back for a long time before he could say a word: "Joan, it's better for girls to be more refined."

Shen Qiong considered that he had food and bed here, so she couldn't turn back, so she chose to push the blame: "Really? My father taught me to speak directly to the center of gravity, but it seems that it is not applicable in the United States." She added humbly, " Next time I will pay attention."

Steve Rogers originally wanted to teach her a sentence or two, but after hearing the last sentence, he couldn't say anything.

He looked at the time, the store should not be closed yet, so he proposed to buy it.However, Shen Qiong felt that she couldn't wear it even after buying it—the model of the dryer in his home was too old—it might as well just make do with it for one night.All her luggage was at the Xavier Talent School, and it would be troublesome enough to get it back.

——Shen Qiong felt that she couldn't bear Li Qianhuan's "Aren't you back, Qiong?" eyes attack that was likely to appear.

Shen Qiong made do with it all night. Early the next morning, she originally wanted to go to Tony to solve the problem with her mobile phone.But she never expected that Steve had prepared breakfast, and Shen Qiong stopped going out very spinelessly, sat down and ate breakfast.

When she finished drinking a whole glass of milk, Steve said to this junior who looked about the same age as himself: "I asked a friend to help, and she will take you to add some clothes today. Are you free today?" ?”

Shen Qiong was still biting the fried bacon in her mouth, so that "not good" seemed so hard to say.

Shen Qiong was struggling, but Steve had already accepted her non-stop chewing action as a default, and handed his card to Shen Qiong: "The password is six eight, and if you see anything else that needs to be added, you can add it together." Buy it back."

Shen Qiong looked at the card handed in front of her and paused for a moment. She swallowed the food in her mouth, took the bank|bank|card and flipped through it for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Rogers, forgive me Take the liberty, have you never gotten along with juniors before?"

——My own adoptive father, that bastard Henry Fry only gave me five thousand dollars for me to come to North America!I've never seen his bank|bank|card in my life!

Steve Rogers was a little embarrassed: "You know I have been frozen for 70 years, and there are many things I don't understand. What's more, I don't have any brothers and sisters, so it is the first time to take care of others-before, it was me A very good friend is looking after me."

He asked, "Don't parents give pocket money to their children now?"

Shen Qiong accepted the card resolutely, her eyes sparkled, she was very sure: "Here!"

She smiled like a fox: "We usually give by the week, sir, how much do you plan to give?"
