[Comprehensive] First Lady

Chapter 44 The Captain and Her; Pride is God's Enemy

The first person to find out that something was wrong was Wade.

He stayed downstairs at the Rogers house, waiting for the lights to come on in the apartment.Holly is used to turning on the lights as soon as she gets home. This is a super bad habit in the eyes of Wade and Wesley. It can only be said that Holly is not like them, killers and mercenaries, who live in danger at any time. The consciousness of being assassinated—not that it was bad, but it proved that he and Wesley had protected her well for many years.

That's why Holly can develop so many "bad habits" of ordinary people.

However, 3 minutes passed, and the lights in the apartment did not come on.

Wade thought at first, could it be that Holly felt uncomfortable halfway through?After all, she is pregnant.So he dialed his cell phone and walked upstairs to the apartment.

Holly's bag falls around the corner of the stairs.Personal belongings were scattered all over the place, including a pregnancy test stick in a zipper bag.

Wade immediately realized that something was wrong.He is 3 minutes late. A lot can happen in 3 minutes.

The second person to find out that something was wrong was Charles.

He interrupts Steve's thoughts politely, mentally informing Steve about it.

"I have an appointment with Holly to discuss the syllabus for next school year tonight. But she's not online."

Steve froze for a moment, feeling uncomfortable, weird, and a little ominous foreboding when Professor X ventured into his mind.

"What's the meaning?"

"Holly is in danger, Captain Rogers."

Standing on the standpoint of the mutant representative and the leader of the X-Men, Charles can only inform and remind Steve that with the treaty between the X-Men and the president, Charles cannot intervene in the struggle of mankind.Even though Holly is a teacher at the X Academy, that doesn't mean she joins the X-Men.

When Steve rushed home with the other Avengers, people from S.H.I.E.L.D. were already on the scene investigating.

"Who notified S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Steve grabbed an agent at random and asked.

The agent turned his head.Steve looked in the direction, and Wade was standing in front of two police cars, holding Holly's bag and a zipper bag in his hand.

"I'm notifying S.H.I.E.L.D.," Wade said, facing Steve, raising his hands.

Steve walks over.Wade spoke first.

"First, Captain, I have something to tell you, and you promise to listen calmly."

"Tell me." Steve frowned slightly, his face still calm.

Wade looked left, then right.He carefully and cautiously spread the two items in his hand on the hood of the police car, and then quickly backed away.

Steve didn't immediately see what was inside the zipper bag when he glanced over.Looking closely again, Steve's face turned dark instantly.

"You promise I'll stay calm, Captain." Wade continued to step back, raising his hands in an innocent look of surrender, "I want to tell you... Holly is pregnant at seven weeks, congratulations Captain, it's a girl."

Steve slowly picked up the zipper bag, and there was no trace of joy in his heart about being a father.

"She's pregnant," Steve murmured, making sure the pregnancy test came back positive.

"What?" Sam came over, wondering if he had heard wrong.

Steve turned his head suddenly and stared at Wade with a cold expression.

"You should really go upstairs with your sister," he said, ignoring the calls of the others, grabbing his shield and turning away.

Sam and Peter looked at each other.

"What's going on?" Peter asked. "I wasn't keeping pace. Cap looked pissed. Wade what did you do?"

"It's not me!" Wade scratched his head irritably, "Of course I knew I should accompany her upstairs, how could I have forgotten that her life is worth enough? Damn, I didn't expect such a thing at all, She is my sister! My only sister!"

Peter twisted his face in astonishment, still puzzled.

"Holly is pregnant, about two months." Sam explained, patted Peter on the shoulder, and got on the motorcycle. "I have to keep up with the captain. He may go straight into the enemy's stronghold single-handedly, and he will do that." A crazy soldier who can do such a thing.”

"God." Peter was dumbfounded. "Really? Should I...should I congratulate the captain?"

What responded to Peter was the back of Sam walking away.

Peter stood there for two seconds, then quickly followed Sam, not forgetting to take Wade with him, "Wait for me! Wait for us!"

Steve rushed back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base.On the way, everyone was slightly intimidated by Captain America's rare and obvious murderous intent, and exchanged small whispers that someone was going to be unlucky.

However, Steve just wants to get Holly back.Anyone who dares to stand in the way will die.

Steve breaks into the Avengers' public office.Natasha and James were staring at the screen wall, and many S.H.I.E.L.D. information personnel were busy facing the computer.

"Did you find it?" Steve asked straight away.

Natasha and James exchanged a look. "Steve, calm down first." Natasha shook her head at Steve, her short bright red hair swaying.

"Holly's pregnant. Two months," Steve continued.

Natasha frowned hard and looked at James in astonishment.

James stared at Steve, stunned.

It was the twins who broke the ice.Wanda pushed open the door of the office and hurried in, followed by Pietro.The previously frozen and stagnant atmosphere was scattered all over the place like shards of glass.

"I heard something happened to Holly. Who caught her?" Wanda asked, looking back and forth between the three of them.

Pietro appears next to Wanda. "Is... bad?" he asked, his expression showing tension.

Steve didn't look at them, and left the office in silence.The twins watch Steve leave, confused and worried.

"what's going on?"

James and Natasha exchanged glances.

"Holly is pregnant, two months." Natasha said, rubbing her temples, "I don't know who captured her yet. The Avengers and the world just went through Ultron, Thor went back to Asgard to put down the rebellion, if I was Hydra, I will also choose to make trouble at this time."

"Hydra?" Wanda frowned, "I thought this organization had..."

"Yes, we all thought that Hydra had been wiped out by us." James said, "but obviously not. We investigated the traces of Hydra's activities a few months ago, but many things happened one after another. Syndicate, The Mandarin, the Infinity Stone Aether, Ultron, there are too many things to distract us."

"And that, perhaps, is the enemy's purpose."

Holly wakes up in blinding white light.

High-wattage fluorescent lamps, plain and flawless walls; she was in a place similar to a research institute, and the room was cold and blank.

Like other rooms of the same type, there is a whole piece of black glass on the wall here.The inside cannot be peeped outside, but the outside can see everything in the room at a glance.

Holly lowered her head and saw the needle hole in her left wrist, connected to the drip bottle. In fear, she gritted her teeth and pulled out the needle regardless of the pain.

Blood gushed out immediately.Holly cried out in pain, gritted her teeth to keep silent, removed the hair band on her head and put pressure on her arm to stop the bleeding.She was still wearing the clothes she had when she went to the doctor, and she didn't feel hungry.

The door is opened.A bald man walks in.

Holly shrank back vigilantly, secretly looking for something that could be used as a weapon.

"Don't worry, there is nothing here that will allow you to hurt anyone or yourself." The bald man shrugged, not paying attention to Holly's high alertness.He walked over to Holly's bed, pulled up a chair and sat down.

Holly stared at each other, her face turned slightly pale.The wound on her hand hurts, her head is dizzy, her mood is very unstable, and she just wants to attack someone or get out of here.

"Actually, I'm not the one who's interested in you." The bald man said, curling his lips, inexplicably took out a green apple from the pocket of the iron-gray suit jacket, and began to play with it, "My research needs funds, I The benefactor wants you. But you are protected, and they tried their best to get you out of your ****. So, there is no way."

Holly frowned, unable to understand what the other party was talking about.

"The Syndicate should have been wiped out." Holly asked tentatively.

"Who said it was Syndicate?" The bald man raised his eyebrows and laughed, "No, it's not them. Miss, you are so well protected. Don't you know that the blood on your body doesn't belong to you?"

Holly was genuinely terrified of the conversation that was going on, of everything that was happening, but she couldn't back down.When all the scary things were beyond her ability to bear, Holly became calm instead.

"Who are you?" Holly asked, her voice low and expressionless.

"Darren Claus, you can call me Dr. Claus." The bald man smiled, rubbing the green apple with his palm, "I'm not afraid that you know who I am, and I'm not afraid that you know where you are. In fact, even revenge The attackers will rush into the pym headquarters later, and they are not my opponents."

Holly stared at Darren coldly, "Pride is the enemy of God."

Darren smiled and declined to comment.

"I just want...to see what the legendary descendants of assassins, people with noble blood and dogma, would look like." Darren said, standing up, and put the green apple at the end of the hospital bed, "Now I see It's gone. Nothing special except a little surprise at your faith."

Holly looked at Darren expressionlessly, without saying a word.

"Someone will transfer you away soon, I suggest you cooperate obediently." Darren said, as he walked towards the door, he pushed it open and stopped sideways by the door frame, "Don't engage in non-violent non-cooperation, you have to For your children's sake."

"As for the Avengers... when they get here, they'll find nothing. I don't mind fighting them with our latest technology if necessary."

Darren Cross leaves the room.

Green apples were left at the end of the bed.

Holly bowed her head, curled up, and buried her face between her knees.

apple.Apple of Eden.

She remembered.What her parents left in the Swiss bank included not only their research materials and assets, but also the sacred objects that her father's family had guarded for generations—that is, what her relatives were really fighting for was the inheritance from their ancestors.

Apple of Eden.

According to rumors, it is a sacred object that can control all free will in the world.
