[Comprehensive] First Lady

Anyway, Steve is running.Out of nowhere, out of the blue, unplanned, and highly anticipated.

General elections are held at the end of the year.

Steve soon had his own campaign team.The Avengers help a lot with this, even though none of the superheroes are actually running except for Steve.They just played the basic actions that superheroes should have—investigating, tracking, and finding the murderer.

A week later, Steve had all the evidence of illegal behavior by the other candidates.

Giving and accepting bribes, extortion, falsified accounts, sex transactions.The Avengers can find evidence for all the illegal acts, the indecent activities commonly seen among high-level intellectuals and elite white-collar workers in society.

Two weeks later, more than half of the candidates announced their withdrawal from the election.

Now there are only two major party candidates running against Steve.

One is the current president, running for re-election; the other is the opposition party, the candidate has made a statement on the show, if possible, she wants to be Captain America's deputy, and she wants to invite Captain America to be their party's candidate.

The campaign heated up within a month of Steve joining.

For the Avengers, this isn't an election; it's war, they're fighting Hydra, they're fighting the Templars, in ways that ordinary people can't see or understand, and votes are part of their weaponry .

Steve didn't like doing it.Of course he didn't like it.

But politics left Steve no choice.

After a meeting in the candidate's office that day, Steve came home.They had rented the sixteenth floor of an office building in Washington, D.C., from the New Populist Party, and they had this floor of the office building until the end of the election.

On the way back, Holly called Steve.

"Honey, are you coming back for dinner tonight?" 』

"Yes. Sam with me."

"good.Then I prepare an extra set of tableware.I love you. 』

Steve curled his lips and ended the call.

In the passenger seat, Sam turned his head sideways and looked at Steve with surprise in his smile, and An Ran.

"how?"

"You guys are so loving. You have a great chemistry."

"Of course. What do you want to say?"

Sam shook his head. "You know what? I didn't like you at first. I support you, but I don't like it."

Steve raised his eyebrows slightly, looked ahead, carefully paying attention to the road conditions. "You support me, but you don't like us."

"Yes. Because the circumstances in which you live are so different. You didn't even intend to let her know that you are Captain America. Love must be based on a complete trust."

Steve nodded to show he was listening.

"However, Holly still trusts you. That's what surprised us the most. She trusts you, not because you're Captain America, but because you're Stephen Rogers. And, she made us all happy to accept her. She She's special, she's gifted -- people love her. That's her gift."

Steve listens, smiling.

"That's right," Steve replied, glancing at Sam, "and you know, she's mine."

They drove back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base first, and then drove the Quinjet back to their residence.Since running for the election, in order to keep his identity completely secret, Steve has to drive a Quinjet machine at home and enter stealth mode to prevent anyone from following him.

Holly was teaching Wanda how to cook when Steve and Sam walked in.

Recently Wanda and Pietro moved in with them, mainly to protect Holly.Occasionally Peter would visit, bringing his girlfriend with him.That was a very special girl.

"You're back." Holly walked to the porch and gave Steve a hug.She was about to enter the eighth month of pregnancy, and Holly's abdomen was obviously swollen, and walking seemed to be particularly strenuous.

Steve touched his wife lightly, afraid of accidentally breaking it, like a little girl treating her most beloved crystal doll.

"I'm back. How are you today?" Steve kissed Holly's left cheek.

"It's all good. I'll give video lessons to the college kids at home, then draw, teach Wanda how to cook, and wait for you to come back. Go wash your hands and change clothes, and we'll have dinner."

The kitchen in the Rogers home is not separate from the dining room.

Next to the kitchen is the stairs to the second floor. The space under the stairs is fully utilized and many independent drawers are made. Tableware, ingredients, and some miscellaneous things are stored there.

Their kitchen is mainly in log color, with white steps and carved railings beside the stairs, matching with watercolors and oil paintings on the wall, a monthly calendar hanging on the shelf next to the counter, and the tableware set is given by Xiaojiao, in emerald green and sea blue. personality.British porcelain.

Steve changed his clothes and went into the kitchen to help.The food is almost ready, and Wanda is helping Holly clean the pot.

"I'll do it," Steve said to Wanda.

Wanda glanced at Holly, stepped aside, washed her hands, and walked to the dining table.Pietro hadn't come downstairs yet, and Sam was on the sofa watching the news.

"...After Captain America announced his candidacy, the campaign quickly entered a heated stage.Supporters have clear barriers. According to our survey, polls show that more than 70.00% of the American people support Captain America as the next president.However, amidst the waves of support, some people are extremely opposed and worried.Let's hear what these people have to say. 』

Everyone put down their hands one after another.Holly put her hands on the sink and turned to watch the TV.

On the screen, the picture is taken from the shed to the street.The reporter interviewed the people on the side of the road. Most people expressed their determination to trust Captain America, but a few people also questioned the identity of Captain America.

The room fell silent.Pietro came down from the stairs and stood at the top of the stairs, looking back and forth among the crowd.

The reporter turned the screen back to the studio.

A White House spokesman appears on camera.The anchor talks to the speaker.

"Okay, thanks to the reporters outside the shed for interviewing the people for us.Obviously, people still have different opinions and voices about Captain America's candidacy, and they need to be heard.Today we invite the spokesperson of the White House to express some thoughts on this matter.Let's hear what the White House has to say. 』

Holly frowned and glanced at Steve.Steve stood beside her, staring gravely at the screen.

"I'm the White House spokesman.Good afternoon everybody.Regarding this matter, I have to say first that Captain America has an excellent image that no one can surpass, which is a good thing.But, as we all know, this is politics. 』

"At present, most people who oppose Captain America think that Captain America is outdated, ignorant of flexibility, and has no political experience.I mean, Captain, running a country is not running an army, or an Avenger!You don't even use social networking. 』

"I use social networks." Steve complained under his breath, "I just don't know them well. I don't want to make them public."

Holly laughed, shook her head, washed the foam off her hands, and took Steve's arm.

"Captain America needs to use his authentic identity to interact with the public.We can't wait until he's elected to watch him take off his helmet.Guys, he's masked!Even party members don't know who Captain America is.Will Captain America change someone during the election process?Also, how should he handle US-China relations?What about Russia?Will he hold the idea of ​​World War II...』

The screen is cut off.It's Pietro, he takes the remote and turns the channel.

"Sorry," Pietro said, shrugging, "I don't want to hear this."

Wanda rolled her eyes at Pietro, but said nothing.Sam walked over to the table and looked at Steve with concern.

Steve turned back to meet Holly's gaze.

The news cast a not-so-pleasant tone over their dinner.Steve was preoccupied throughout the meal.After the meal, they cleaned up the dishes and chatted.

Sam snatches the job of doing the dishes and tells Holly to sit. "Holly, you're pregnant."

Holly walked over to the sofa with her hands on her stomach.The twins are playing a board game, a construction board game that needs to constantly remove the lower support and stack it on the upper layer. Whoever makes the building blocks fall down will lose.

"You guys come to play too." Pietro invited Holly and Steve, "We still have two colors. Red, blue, yellow and green, which color do you want? Wanda is red, and I am blue."

"Yellow for me?" Holly smiled.

"That's green." Steve spread his hands, "We just draw out the pillars on the first floor and put them on the net in order. Whoever makes the blocks fall down will lose. Right. How can we count as winning?"

"No one wins," Wanda replied. "There are only losers in this game, and there are no winners. You can choose to frame others, or cooperate to stack the blocks to the highest level. This is a very simple game."

"Understood." Steve raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

After the first game, Steve leaves briefly to pour water.

Holly watched Steve stand up. "Let me go, too. I'll find you a new playmate," she said to the twins, yelling at Sam, who was swiping his phone, "Sam! Come here!"

I don't know if Sam will realize that getting to know Mr. and Mrs. Rogers is the worst thing in his life; in short, Sam doesn't think so at the moment.

Holly walked into the kitchen.Steve stood by the hot water dispenser, holding a cup, frowning in thought.

"Honey," Holly whispered, hugging Steve from behind, "Are you okay?"

Steve turned his head and glanced at Holly. "I'm fine. Nothing."

Holly looked up at Steve.Steve turned sideways to face Holly.Holly takes the glass from Steve's hand and sets it by the counter.

"What were you thinking?" Holly asked, pressing her palm against Steve's cheek.

Steve takes Holly's hand and stares down at his wife.

"Holly. Do you remember Bodine? I mentioned it."

"I remember. Jane Bodine, your secondary election strategist."

"This afternoon, she said the same thing in the conference room."

Holly frowned slightly.

"She reminded me that there's more to politics than that," Steve said, staring at Holly's strands of hair that fell around her ears, and unconsciously running his fingers through her hair. "I thought the normal campaign process was about serving the people, but Her answer was to pour dirty water and design enemies. She said, yes, of course we must serve the people, of course we must do something good, make a video, and upload it to the Internet, but we must respond to the opponent’s attack. Ready to recruit."

Holly opened her eyes slightly.She gets it.

"I will be their target to attack you." Holly murmured, "This is your weakness. Because your identity is kept secret, and my past..."

The two fell silent.

Steve gently hugged Holly and kept combing Holly's long hair.Such a touch reassures him.

The knives hanging by the sink reflected their embracing figures.

"I don't want to win by dirty means," Steve whispered.

Holly lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and asked, "Sweetheart, why did you choose Bodin to be your secondary election strategist? We have all the secondary election consultants in Washington for you to choose. Why did you choose her?"

"Because there are indeed some things about her that are different from others."

"Because she still has a conscience, right?"

Holly looked up and met Steve.Steve was noncommittal.Holly guessed right.

"Steve." Holly called Steve's name softly, gazing into Steve's eyes calmly.

Under Holly's gaze, Steve gradually regained his peace of mind.

"Honey, this isn't an election," Holly told Steve, softly. "This is war."

Steve realized something.

"Bodine said that too."
