[Comprehensive] First Lady

Chapter 38 The captain and her; I think I have a good eye

"But, maybe, I just like the extraordinary behind the ordinary," Steve said, bowing his head, kissing Holly's forehead, and turning around to continue chopping broccoli and carrots, "I think I have good eyesight. This is a treasure chest, right? My beautiful and lovely wife, who is both civil and military, is at least younger than me... I do the math, and there is a 69-year difference between us."

"My God, Steve. You know the language of the game?" Holly was amused.She wrapped her arms around Steve's waist, leaned close to Steve, followed closely, and prevented him from cooking.

"I'm not that behind the times."

Holly smiled, let go of Steve, pulled up a high chair, and sat down beside her, dangling her legs, watching Steve cook for her.

The two were quiet for a moment, and Holly spoke softly.

"But I'm still kind of scared," she said.

Steve glances at Holly and turns on the stove.The stove in their house is a new type, with a whole piece of flat surface, black high-temperature and high-pressure resistant glass, and an electronic stove that does not require gas.Steve put the steel pot on the circle, and the water in the pot was [-]% full.Then he took a package of pasta from the upper cabinet.

"Are you afraid that something will come back for you?"

"Hahaha, it's not funny. I'm serious, Steve. It's disgusting. I stick a painter's knife into the back of the guy's neck, I don't know...I don't know how to describe that feeling. You You will clearly feel that your hand, this piece of meat, this object, is alive, soft, warm, and has bones, just like you. But you have to stab down, otherwise he will stab back you."

Holly was talking, and by the end, a little hysterical. "I'm scared, Steve. I keep thinking, you're not here for me, I have to protect myself. I can't let someone else have the opportunity to threaten you with me. I don't want to be your weakness. I don't want to... I I don't want to make myself so vulnerable."

Steve frowned and listened, serious and focused.As Holly cups her face in her hands, he walks over and hugs Holly tenderly.

"That's a good thing, Holly. Your fear proves that you are not someone who will harm other lives at will."

Holly dropped her hands and looked up at Steve, gritting her teeth to keep the tears from falling.

"You can cry." Steve pursed his lips and smiled, stroking the corner of Holly's eye.

Holly shook her head, burying herself in Steve's arms again.

Steve put Holly on his shoulder and gently brushed Holly's hair.

"It's horrible to let someone else die," Holly murmured. "I don't want this to happen again. I hope God will forgive me. When we die, you will definitely go to heaven, but I may go to hell." .I don't want to be separated from you."

Steve figured he should divert Holly's attention.Holly was already raving.

"Actually, you are very considerate." After thinking for a while, he said, "You found out that they wanted you to live, and you also imagined that they might threaten you with the lives of other people in the safe house, so go with them first and reduce the risk of death." After they are on guard, they attack suddenly. It takes a little experience to do it."

"Well...Actually, this is what Natasha...taught me." Holly replied hesitantly.

Steve stops brushing Holly's hair.

"Natasha." He repeated the key words. "Okay, that totally explains why you can hit the target with precision. I just wonder how you shoot like Natasha."

Holly rests her chin on Steve's shoulder, scratching Steve's back nervously. "Baby, sweetheart, promise me, don't let Natasha know, I'll let you know."

"Oh. Looks like you guys have agreed not to tell me about it." Steve raised his eyebrows.He let go of Holly, narrowed his eyes, and looked at his wife, "She gave you a gun?!"

Holly looked left and right, afraid to look at Steve. "Our current president says everyone should have a gun. Really. He said that when he was running."

Steve took a deep breath, gritting his teeth.

"One day I'm going to get that guy off the stage. Someone who said something like that should be replaced," he whispered, and then, trying to coax Holly away from the idea with a smile, "Honey, guns aren't toys. Why do you need a gun?"

"Because... I don't want to stab people with a painting knife anymore? I don't want to see a painting knife anymore these days."

Steve was silent for two seconds.For a moment, he actually felt that what Holly said made sense.

But that's totally nonsense!It is indeed taught by Natasha.There are so many fallacies that people can't refute them.

"...That's not a reason. I promise you won't encounter this kind of thing again, so I confiscated the gun."

Holly pouted. "That's a gift from Natasha! You can't confiscate it casually. Besides, we'll go to the Swiss bank to pick it up later, and we may encounter danger on the way. I should have a gun for my own protection."

Steve frowned, turning his head to look at Holly.

"Wait, wait. Honey, what are you saying we're going to the Swiss bank to get something?"

"My parents' research." Holly said quickly, looking down, not daring to look at Steve, "actually my parents threw something in the Swiss bank, but I've been forgetting about it and... a little bit I don’t know what those things are. If John Smith didn’t come out, I should continue to forget…”

Steve froze, not knowing how to respond for a while.

"I'm, I'm really sorry." Holly smiled and raised her head in embarrassment, "I should have told you these things in the first place, but...but I didn't expect you to be Captain America at the time, and I didn't expect Syndicate is still staring at me. It’s been more than ten years, and forgetting is normal. I have a super mechanical memory, which doesn’t mean I won’t forget things... Doesn’t Tony often forget some trivial things that he doesn’t think are important?”

Steve resisted the urge to roll his eyes and communicated with Holly patiently.

"It's not trivial at all. Honey, you really should have told me when you first got married."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, uh, on the bright side, this should alleviate your previous self-blame?"

Steve rubbed between his brows with a headache.

Changing the subject was learned from Tony, and talking nonsense was learned from Natasha.

x's.He's going to settle accounts with them.

You don't need to pay attention to the words if you don't swear, Steve thinks so.He had to admit, he was really pissed off.

One gag always leads to more gags, Holly thought.She wants to clarify that she really didn't forget these things on purpose.

In short, what was in the Swiss bank had to be taken out.

With a lot of lessons learned, Steve didn't know Holly planned to go to Switzerland in person to get out what her parents had deposited in the bank-- Holly said, all she remembered was some data and a few suitcases- This matter holds a high degree of vigilance and opposition.He is only one wife, and he is always hunted down. If something goes wrong on the way to Switzerland, who will be responsible?

quit.Never do it.

But Holly is worried that S.H.I.E.L.D. will help her get things.She herself couldn't remember what was in the bank, what if S.H.I.E.L.D. hid her parents' relics?She doesn't trust S.H.I.E.L.D.

"... Holly, Darling, honey, you can't run to the Swiss bank and get your stuff out. No, no, no."

"But it's something my parents left me! I don't want others to touch it, why can't I?"

"Because it's dangerous, honey. How much have you forgotten what happened before?"

"Of course I won't go alone, I mean, I can go with you—"

"No, no."

"Why! Steve, I'm an adult, you can't treat me like a baby, locked up in those safe places all day—"

Steve was arguing with Holly about it when the elevator doors opened.They were in Stark Tower, attending Tony's repeatedly postponed party to celebrate Stark Tower's re-completion once again.

The elevator door opened, and everyone looked towards the door.

Steve fell silent in embarrassment and dissatisfaction.Holly smiled, and walked into the saloon on Steve's arm.

"Long time no see! Everyone. Is everything okay?"

"This is what I want to ask you, Holly. I heard that someone finally got rid of the organization that hunted and killed her for more than ten years. Congratulations."

The crowd greeted them.

Holly let go of Steve and went to the bar to chat with Natasha, Wanda, and Pepper.Steve watches Holly walk away as Sam and James approach with glasses.

"Is she all right?" Sam asked.

Steve glances at Sam. "What do you mean?"

"The whole thing," Sam replied, curling his lips. "You know, normal people don't get used to the fact that they killed someone so quickly."

Steve raised his eyebrows and sighed. "I don't sleep well at night, I keep having nightmares. I have to make her very, very tired before she can fall asleep."

Sam and James frowned simultaneously.

"No way. Are you showing off to us?"

"... Seriously. Holly has trauma syndrome, and I've arranged for her to go to therapy."

Sam rolled his eyes, not wanting to express an opinion.James laughed.

"I heard you guys arguing just now. She wants to go to a Swiss bank?" James asked.

"Yes. For what her parents left her." Steve shook his head and rubbed his brows, "She's been arguing with me about this recently."

"She wants to go there in person? That's reasonable, it's her parents' relic after all."

"No, I can't promise this. It's too dangerous."

James and Sam looked at each other and raised their eyebrows at the same time.

"Captain, are you a little...too concerned about this? I mean, it's a little overprotective," Sam said, watching Steve's expression carefully, carefully.

"what?"

"She's not going by herself, please." James rolled his eyes and put his arms around Steve's shoulders. "Relax, man. If you ask, S.H.I.E.L.D. will send an army to protect Holly. Besides, you go with her Go, what's wrong with that."

Steve was silent.He cast his eyes on Holly in the field.She was dancing hand in hand with Wanda, singing happily in French.

"You're too afraid of losing her, Steve," James whispered, leaning against Steve's shoulder.

Sam looked into the field too.He didn't notice James' conversation with Steve.

"Maybe," Steve murmured, "I might go crazy without her."

"I think it's a little crazy for you to say that." James looked at Steve oddly. "Seriously? Captain America, with his strong mind, going nuts because of losing his wife?"
