[Comprehensive] First Lady

Charles smothered a laugh.Qin remained expressionless.

Holly frowned and looked at Charles.

"Yes, he refused." Charles immediately got serious and chimed in, "I saw that he seriously refused."

"But the other party didn't listen, right." Holly raised her forehead.

Steve shrugged helplessly. "I only found out from reading the newspaper."

Charles almost laughed.Fortunately, Qin remained expressionless.

Holly took a deep breath. "Okay, we'll get to that later. Too blind. Did you hear anything else when you came?"

Steve couldn't say it.He needs to develop a little wit and figure out a way to tell Holly that...well, actually, almost every American he meets is very much looking forward to his running.unusually.

The two drove home.On the way, Holly helped Steve answer the phone without interruption.

The first call was to James.Natasha's laughter in the background.

"Brother, you want to run for president?serious? 』

"He's driving," Holly replied, putting Steve's phone on the phone holder under the air conditioner and turning on the speakerphone. "He wasn't running. That was a misunderstanding."

"good.I think so too.He doesn't look like a fool who wants to run.But you know what?Everyone took it seriously.everyone.Now the whole base is discussing this matter, and everyone is super serious.Steve, you're done.I think you must run. 』

Holly turned around.Face to face with Steve.

"No way." Steve looked embarrassed.

"If you don't believe me, come to the base now and have a look."Natasha nearly burst out laughing.By the way, our family of three will vote for you. 』

"Little Chris can't vote yet. He's not even a year old." Holly rolled her eyes inwardly.

The second call was to Sam.There is a large cast of Avengers in the background.

"Captain, you want to run for election?"Very good!I support you, we all support you. 』This is Ant-Man Scott excited.

"No, I didn't—" Steve was about to deny it.

"Captain, you are what this country needs!People follow you, trust you, support you, where are we going to find people like you again? 』This is Wanda who is more excited than Scott.

"Thank you Wanda, but—" Steve smiled wryly.

"team leader?Let me remind you that 1940s ideas are no solution to modern problems. 』This is a vision.

"Listen, I—" Steve was a little displeased.

"Steve?It's me, Tony.Friendly reminder, don't get involved in politics, it's silly. 』

Call dropped.

The Rogers couple looked at each other again during the signal light change.

"Damn." Holly cursed, "What should I do, everyone is very serious!"

Steve hasn't answered yet.The phone rang again.

"I don't know the number." Holly frowned, "Do you want to answer it?"

Steve took a moment to press on.

"Hello.Is it the captain?This is the White House.I heard that you are running for president, do you need Agent Pat to protect you and your wife? 』

Holly turned her head slowly, slowly, slowly, staring at Steve with wide eyes, a little terrified.

"I don't think... I don't think so." Steve replied.

"OK.If you change your mind, you can always let us know.We will send you a message with the contact information later.I wish you the best of luck. 』

call ended.

Steve scowled.Holly maintained a shocked expression.

"The White House called us."

"Yes, the White House called us."

"They wish you victory."

"Yes, they wished me victory."

The two fell silent.Change the signal light.

"I don't understand." Holly murmured, staring blankly at the road ahead, with the other hand resting on her protruding belly, "This is ridiculous. Why do people believe such things?"

"Good question," Steve said, and couldn't help sighing again.

At this point, Steve hopes that everyone will naturally realize that this is just fake news.In this era of information explosion, the information on the Internet cannot be trusted at all.Just look it up and find out, first of all, that Captain America is not a member of the New Populist Party at all.Furthermore, has anyone seen Captain America jumping out and saying that he is going to run?

The problem is, people believe what they want to believe.

Obviously, everyone just wants to believe that Captain America is going to run.Captain America wants to save America once again and make America better again.

After arriving home, Holly immediately turned on the TV, and she sat down on the back of the sofa with her left hand on her abdomen.

Steve sat down with Holly.They looked at the screen at the same time.

Each station is broadcasting the latest news about Captain America's election.Someone even edited a video of Steve on the mission.Reporters kept repeating that Captain America was about to enter politics, and celebrities speculated on Captain America’s motivation for running from various aspects, including politics, culture, economy, and even history.The economic channel is concerned about the impact of Captain America’s announcement of his candidacy on the stock market, and the sports channel discusses which sports trends and sports brands will be driven by Captain America’s candidacy.

No one questioned this.Nobody.

"Today, our station made a special interview with Senator Hawke, who is the most politically experienced member of the New Populist Party.The senator is well-known in Congress and well-connected.Senator Hawk, we would like to ask you, what do you think of Captain America announcing his candidacy? 』

"I don't approve of this.To be honest, I reasonably doubt that Captain America will be a puppet of the party leader.Captain America is masked and his identity is kept secret.In other words, anyone can be Captain America.I cannot accept superheroes being reduced to political tools.This doesn't align with the original intent of Congress to approve the Avengers. 』

"Yes.Our reporter also heard that the two major parties have voiced the same level of questioning...』

Holly looked upset.She turned the channel, and then turned the channel.

"... Today, our station specially invited Jameson, the CEO of Horn Media, to express his views on Captain America's announcement of his candidacy.Jameson, Captain America announced this morning that he is running for president.What do you think? 』

"Well... the captain is a good guy.But you also know how many crazy things can happen when you put a TV star for president? *1"

Holly turned the channel again, and then turned the channel again.

"...Our reporter is currently conducting roadside interviews in the West Bank.Let's visit the Fantastic Four to hear what other superheroes have to say about Captain America's run. 』

"I don't think he should be in politics.It's not wise. 』

"Shut up, Reed.I would vote for Winghead.God bless America! 』

Holly turned off the TV, held her forehead, and took a deep breath.

"Sweetheart, Steve, you need to make a statement that you're not running."

But Steve didn't answer right away.

Holly frowned and turned to look at Steve.Steve was staring at the TV screen in rapt attention, his thoughtful expression gave Holly another guess.

"sweetheart?"

Steve came back to himself. "What?"

Holly raised her eyebrows and inhaled slightly.

"Honey, Steve, please tell me frankly if you want to run."

Steve lowered his eyes.After a moment of silence, he raised his head in confusion and looked at Holly with a confused expression.

"I'm not sure. I didn't think about it."

Holly pursed her lips and smiled helplessly.

"I think so," she said, reaching up to stroke Steve's cheek. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Steve pondered for a moment.

"I want to go to the school I used to go to."

Steve lived in Brooklyn when he was young.

After half a century, the primary school he used to attend has long been demolished by the government's urban planning.Only ruins remain of the original site.

Steve parks the car nearby.They got out of the car and stopped in front of the chained construction site gate.The sign said the land had been bought by Hayden International.

Holly looked at Steve's expression with some concern.She was afraid that this would bring more blows to Steve.

But Steve just looks down, hands in his jacket pockets, and doesn't say a word.

"Shall we go for a walk?" Holly suggested.

Steve looked at Holly and curled his mouth. "Okay ma'am," he said, letting Holly take his arm, and the two of them walked along the outside of the construction site.

"I used to get spanked when I was a kid," Steve started, before they passed an alley.He pointed to the alley and the old street lamps next to the building, and smiled, "In that alley, it's there every time. Of course, this alley is almost completely different now."

Holly raised her eyebrows, "Are you going to provoke others?"

"Well... I don't deny that."

"James must have a headache for you."

Steve smiled and shook his head. "Yeah, he always has to come and help me, lest I really get beaten to death."

Holly could picture James dragging Steve away. "I've seen pictures of you before. You were really slender back then."

"You use slender to describe it." Steve frowned, amused, "That's a euphemism. I'd say it's thin."

Holly shrugged, and put her hands on her abdomen habitually. "You are my husband, and I have to take care of your self-esteem."

Steve took Holly's shoulders, ignoring the unkind eyes of the gangsters on the street.They walked to the back of the site.

"Here," Steve said, pointing somewhere in the void, "there used to be a school building. Our classroom is on the third floor."

Holly looked over.Of course, there are only dilapidated ruins, unfinished buildings and steel frames, and a gray sky shaded by scaffolding.

"Elementary school teachers taught us to fulfill our responsibilities and obligations as citizens." Steve muttered, looking up at the sky with Holly, "I still remember it until now."

Holly turned her head to look at Steve. "You did it," she said, putting her palms on Steve's chest and smiling softly.

Steve looked down at Holly. "Did I do it?"

Holly chuckled. "Yes, Captain America." She leaned on Steve's chest, put her hands around Steve's waist, and told Steve firmly, sincerely, and full of trust: "You are doing better than anyone else. "

So Steve made a decision.

They go to base.Steve informs Fury that he's holding a press conference.

"Are you going to run for election?" ’ Ferry teased on the phone.

"No," Steve replied, "I'm not going to reveal Captain America's identity."

"Very good, wise decision.After I help you make an appointment for half an hour, I will hold a press conference in Times Square. 』

Steve hung up, turned to Holly and told Holly, "Let's go to Times Square."

At this time, Holly received the message, "Steve will not run."She also thought that Steve would not change his mind, and followed Steve to Times Square to prepare for the press conference with confidence.
