[Comprehensive] First Lady

Steve threw the shield first.After the shield made a turn, it hit the killer in the auditorium who had no time to escape.The rest of the crowd also helped Steve catch the prisoner.At the same time, Steve struggled to push anyone in his way and ran to Holly.Wanda looked at Steve in horror, and handed Holly to him tremblingly.

"Holly, Holly, Holly." Steve hugged Holly, hugged her body, and kept calling Holly's name, full of fear in his heart, "Open your eyes, baby, look at me, don't fall asleep .”

Holly didn't respond.

Steve looks down.The bullet was shot just below the shoulder, very close to the heart.

"Ambulance," Steve murmured, turning into a yell, "Ambulance!"

S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately cleared a path on the scene.The Quinjet waiting outside picked up Holly's stretcher.

Steve tried to catch the plane, but was stopped by paramedics.

"We'll take Madam back to the base for treatment, with the best equipment possible." The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent told Steve, "Don't worry, Captain. We'll do everything we can to keep Madam. You still have a job."

At that moment, Steve could only stay in the venue and watch the Quincyle machine leave.

The world seemed to have fallen into dead silence.Steve couldn't see color in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I'm sorry. I didn't...I didn't protect Holly well."

Steve turned around slowly.

It was Wanda, covering her mouth, approaching him in horror and cautiously, with tears in her eyes.

"No," Steve heard himself say, "It's not your fault, Wanda."

He had to appease the crowd at the scene.Steve thought.He's got to get the speech done, he's got to catch the killer, he's got to get it over with.He still has a job.

So Steve walked back up to the podium, stopping before stepping up the steps.

Someone handed him his shield.Steve looked up.That man is Sam.

"Murderer?" Steve asked.

"Caught it. To save him from being beaten to death by an angry mob before we had a chance to get a word out of him, we've taken him into a police van."

Steve nodded slightly, took the shield, and put it back on his back.The red, blue, and white metals reflected the scene of the venue, and Steve was wearing a dark blue uniform, with the English letters representing Captain America on the front of the helmet.

a.

He wants to win this battle.Steve thought.

He wants to win this battle for Holly.Those who hurt Holly, he will not let go.

Steve comes on stage and turns on the microphone.He bowed his head.The crowd gradually quieted down.

Then, Steve spoke.

"Before I ran ... my wife was very much against it," he said, his tone eerily calm.

"My wife, she is a wise woman. She made me understand many things, helped me adapt to society after I woke up from the ice. She loved me even if I was not romantic and gave her a formal relationship. Marriage proposal. She loved me before she knew I was Captain America. Even though she opposed my candidacy, she was the one who gave me the most support after I made my decision. No disrespect, but I have to say, she gave me Yes, even more so than my auxiliary selection team.”

"One day, she said, when I became a politician, I was a legitimate target. My family, my loved ones, were bound to be implicated in my decision to run."

"But these attacks should not have been prepared for my family."

"Today, I want to tell you. I love my wife regardless of her past, her background, her nationality. I know her, I know who she is, and I love her for who she really is. I believe she will be with me She was braver than me to finish this campaign."

"People who support me, if you support me, I am honored, I am ready to die for this country. So, please don't hurt my family."

There was silence in the venue.

From a certain corner, there came bursts of sobbing.A depressed mood infects others.Crying mixed with shouts for Captain America and his wife to keep going, like waves, wave after wave, impacting everyone in the gymnasium, everyone watching the TV and the live broadcast.

Amid the cries of supporters, Steve turned off the microphone, ignored any reporters who were chasing him, and boarded the second Quinjet machine sent by S.H.I.E.L.D.

That night, the video of Steve’s speech exceeded 7000 million hits on various platforms.

People all over the world reposted this video frantically.From Steve coming on stage, giving a speech, being interrupted, stepping down, Holly was shot, to the end of the speech, the end of the film, the back view of Steve getting on the plane.Captain America's shield hangs like a star-spangled banner behind his back.

Natasha and James were the first Avengers to arrive at the emergency room.Except for the twins and Sam who are traveling with Steve, there is no one else for the time being.

"How's it going?"

Natasha hugged little Chris, saw Sam first, and immediately grabbed him and asked.Sam glanced at little Chris who was sleeping peacefully on Natasha's shoulder, and pursed his lips.

"It's lucky that her heart just grew out of the way."

Natasha and Sam turned their heads at the same time.It was Stephen Strange, who came out of the emergency room, looked around at everyone present, "Save it. Don't walk around until you give birth."

Natasha frowned, turned her head and asked Sam with her eyes.Everyone knows that Strange became Doctor Strange because he could no longer hold a scalpel.

"The operation is a bit dangerous. Others are not sure. He will guide the operation." Sam explained, "The emergency surgeon inside, Christine, is his former colleague. Stark asked him to come, you know, they have friendship."

Natasha understood.Strange added: "A painting. I ordered a painting with the captain's wife. I don't want the artist to go before the work is finished."

"Where's Steve?" James asked.

"Inside."

James nodded to Natasha and walked into the ward. Before entering the door, he glanced at Wanda who was sitting in the corner crying, and Pietro who was hugging Wanda and comforting her.

In the single ward, Steve sat on a chair with his back to the window and the door, guarding the bed with a blank expression.

James walked over, patted Steve on the shoulder, and couldn't bear it.

Steve didn't look up.From the beginning to the end, his eyes stopped on Holly's pale face, and he didn't leave for a moment.

James hesitated to speak.It's hard for him to say, like, she's going to be fine, she's going to be fine, the kind of words that the speaker means and the listener means.He knew exactly how Steve was feeling at the moment.

"I'll be with you," was all James could say. "We'll be with you."

Steve nodded slightly, without saying a word.

James walked out of the ward.Outside the ward, Holly's two cousins, Steve's deputy Hawke, and auxiliary election strategist Bodin were waiting.Strange left.

"Can they come in?" James frowned at Hawke and Bodine.This is the S.H.I.E.L.D. base and a ward area dedicated to superheroes.

"I let them in." Hill's voice came from the back of the corridor, accompanied by footsteps.

"How about Mrs. Captain?" Hawke asked.Bodine also looked at James with an anxious look on his face.

"The location is very close to the heart," James explained. "Fortunately, Holly's heart is a little bit off. She should be fine after tonight. Also, you can't walk around until the delivery. I think after the delivery, until the recovery , probably not.”

Hawke and Bodin were visibly relieved.

"Until Madam recovers, leave any campaign to me," Hawke said, promising the Avengers, "We're not going to give our opponents any chance, and whoever is behind this will have to pay. "

Bodine stepped aside to answer the phone.

Natasha nodded to Hawke. "Thank you," she said.Little Chris rolled over on her shoulder.

Hawke seemed to want to visit Holly's injury, and worried that Steve should not want to be disturbed at the moment, so he looked at the ward a few more times, said some words of condolences, and left.The Barnes, the twins, Wade, and Wesley remained in front of the ward.

"I'm going in to see her," Wesley said.Ignoring James' blocking eyes, he walked into the ward.

Wade spread his hands and walked in.

Steve knew who was in the ward.Without looking up, he heard Wesley pull a chair and sit down on the other side of the hospital bed.

"I don't want to blame you," Wesley said.

Steve pursed his lips slightly, his eyelashes fluttering.

"You've got to win this campaign," Wesley added, "and you've got to make them pay."

"...Yeah." Steve responded softly.

"She really loves you," Wesley murmured. "She should have stayed home. She shouldn't have been there."

Wesley didn't say it, but they all knew that Holly insisted on going to the venue to make an image of Steve.Any married candidate needs to have his wife and children by his side when he attends a big speech event, at least the wife must be there to prove how loving they are and how complete the family is.This is an unwritten rule.

Wade looked at Steve, then at Wesley, and cleared his throat. "Well, at least Holly has a very good reason not to appear in public until the end of the election. I guess this incident will also calm down the opponent for a while. No one dares to argue about Holly's identity again. will be sprayed to death."

Wesley rolled his eyes at Wade.That's not consolation at all.

"Why? She'll be fine. She's the heroine. If there's no such thing as a heroine dying, the author will be sent a blade."

Obviously, Wade tried to say something nice, but unfortunately it didn't help.Finally, he walked to the bed, wanted to touch Holly's head, then retracted his hand and stared at the glove, probably because he was afraid that he might get dirty or something.

"Okay. You just stay here and stare at her for one night, and I'll come see her tomorrow."

Shortly after Wade left, there was a knock on the door.It's Bodine, poking his head in and telling Steve in the room.

"Captain, I know you definitely don't want to hear this right now, but, based on your duties and obligations, I have to tell you that because of what happened just now, your poll broke through the peak and reached 70.00%. Strong support, and a joint signature on the Internet to pray for the wife of the captain. I believe that after tonight, the opponent will not dare to make a fuss about the identity of the wife, and will be sprayed to death. Also, a new rumor has begun to circulate on the Internet. You want to Listen or...tomorrow?"

Steve finally looked up.

"I don't care what they say," he said, his voice calm and cold. "Bodine, you're my adjunct strategist. Go beat 'em."

Bodine's eyes flicked back and forth between Steve and Holly, who was unconscious on the hospital bed.

"By all means?" Bodine asked.He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"This is war. You said it too." Steve looked at Bodin with a blank expression, "The only mistake in war is to lose."

Bodin curled his lips, glanced at Wesley at the side, and quickly left the ward.

Wesley watched Bodine go, turned around, and looked at Steve in surprise.

"Give me one more chance to choose, I won't run," Steve said, looking at Wesley, then looking down at Holly, touching her face, nose, lips, brushing her hair tenderly. Silk, eyes full of affection.

Wesley was silent for a moment, then murmured, "I think so."

As Wade expected, and as Bodin said.

After the speech that night, everyone in the world knew that the captain's family was his bottom line.His wife is his weakness and taboo.The scene where Steve threw the shield and hit the killer was edited into a video by netizens and played repeatedly.

And those who support Captain America are willing to work together for him to protect his family.

Steve's polls are again ahead of his rivals.

However, the rumors that are raging on the Internet cannot be ignored.
