[Comprehensive] First Lady

It wasn't the first time that Holly got the news that Steve almost died heroically.

She is at home and does not turn on the TV.It wasn't until Cosen came to the door and took her to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base for protection that she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"What happened to Steve?" Holly kept asking.

"Madam, please wait here for a while." The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who protected Holly gave the same answer.

Holly walked up and down the room anxiously with only Dorothy in her arms.As if affected by the atmosphere, Dorothy kept crying, and it was useless for Holly to coax her.

Just when Holly was going crazy and wanted to pinch the detective to force him to tell her the real situation, Natasha appeared.

As soon as Holly saw Natasha's expressionless face, she knew that something was wrong.

"I want to see him." Holly said, her tone unusually calm.

Natasha looked away.

"I don't want to lie to you," Natasha said, taking a breath. "He's seriously injured and we're resuscitating. The odds are low but...we'll do everything we can. Dr. Zhao is working hard. And about your request , I can only refuse you."

Holly stared at Natasha, just stared at Natasha.She stood in the middle of the cool-toned room under white fluorescent lights, while Dorothy screamed in a crib beside her.

Holly was expressionless.

"Are you okay?" Natasha asked, eyeing Holly warily.

Holly turned her head away, took a deep breath, and took another deep breath.

"I don't want to hear it." Holly murmured, holding her head in her hands and squatting down slowly, "It's not true."

Natasha lowered her eyes and watched Holly. "I'm sorry." In Black Widow's tone, there was rarely sincere sorrow and pity.

"He promised me," Holly murmured, and began to cry, pointing to the empty side, shouting, "He promised me! How could he do this to me! I said don't run for president...he promised Don’t pass me! He can’t do this to me, he can’t. Why can he just walk away, it’s not fair. It’s not fair!”

Natasha looked at Holly for a while, then knelt down and hugged Holly gently.

"He still has a chance to survive." Natasha softly comforted Holly, patting Holly on the back, "We will be with you. No matter what the outcome is, you are part of us."

Holly covered her face and cried bitterly.

"I don't want him to leave me. Natasha, what should I do? I don't want him to leave me. I can't take care of Dorothy alone. He told me to bear it for a few more months, he promised. He How can he not keep his promise? How can he protect people all over the world, but always lie to me?"

And Natasha could only hug Holly without saying a word.Any consolation seems pale and powerless.

That day, Holly's hoarse accusation made Natasha miss her heart.

Natasha tells James, James tells Tony, Tony tells the other Avengers.Soon everyone knew that Holly was on the verge of a breakdown.

The rescue of the cradle of regeneration took five full days.

A week later, Wanda stood outside the room that S.H.I.E.L.D. provided for Holly and Dorothy to live temporarily, uneasy.

"How do I speak? Help me, Pietro. I can't...I can't."

On the side, Tony, James, Sam, and Peter, the avengers who are closer to the Rogers couple, gathered in a circle and discussed in low voices.

"It would be best for you or Natasha to do this," Tony said, glancing at Peter. "Boys are going to mess things up."

"Wanda, you have the closest relationship with Natasha," James explained, "Natasha is on a mission, you can."

"It's like asking Wanda, hey, can you die?" Peter muttered, "I'm not going to screw things up."

Wanda looked around her friends and took a deep breath.

"I'm going to tell her..."

"You have to tell her about Steve," Sam replied, staring at Wanda, also a little nervous, "Steve is fine, he is out of danger, but because the serum almost failed during the first aid, so now Steve My husband is about 40 years old, and it is normal for his hair to turn gray."

Wanda nodded and asked again: "Then if she asks to visit Steve..."

"She will definitely make this request." Tony raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips slightly, "Then you have to tell her that because of the injuries caused by the accident, Steve temporarily lost all memories of waking up from the ice. Remember us, and don't remember her and Dorothy, and we can't guarantee that Steve will recover his memory."

"Don't tell her so much." Sam frowned. "We all know that clinically, in the case of amnesia or accidental injury causing amnesia, the possibility of recovering memory is not high. This is not a soap opera. But we don't have to tell her."

Folding his arms around his chest, Tony shifted his gaze to Sam. "Don't give Holly too much expectation. Let her know the truth."

Wanda took a deep breath, and another deep breath, and looked at Pietro.

"Okay, I'm fine. I'm going in."

"Come on." Pietro patted Wanda on the shoulder.

"If the situation is not right, I'll just faint Holly... I can take care of Dorothy, it's okay, I can do it," Wanda murmured, and as she opened the door, Holly raised her eyebrows in obvious embarrassment and anxiety. Forced to laugh.

Others stood outside the room.

From the glass window, they can see the conversation between Wanda and Holly.This mime is like Wanda's one-man show.

Wanda walked into the room, and Wanda spoke.After Wanda finished speaking, Wanda stood still.

Holly kept her head down, staring at Dorothy from beginning to end.

After a while, Holly raised her head and said a word first.

Wanda hesitated and shook her head.

Then Holly said something else.

Wanda reflected her shock.

What Holly said could not be seen from outside the room.Not long after, Wanda came out with a panicked expression.

"How did she react?" James asked quickly.

"Holly, she..." Wanda hesitated, turning her head away and looking at the wall, "She first asked me if Steve was really all right. I said yes. She asked me if my memory would not come back, and I Not sure, but not very likely."

Sam rubbed his forehead. "God, I really don't agree with you telling her this."

"I can't lie!" Wanda retorted, a little aggrieved, "Looking at Holly, I can't find any reason, otherwise you should go and tell her."

"And then?" Tony asked.

Wanda took a breath. "She just cared about Steve's condition, and asked me if Steve was awake now, and how I was feeling. I answered truthfully, telling her that Steve had been awake for a few days, completely lost his memory, and his mood was not stable. The doctor advised him not to Give him incentives to prevent the situation from deteriorating. So we dare not tell him about his marriage, and only briefly mentioned that he was elected president before, but the current external news is that he was martyred and the vice president was replaced..."

Several men looked at each other.

"I think you've told her everything," Peter commented cautiously.

"So she didn't ask to see Steve?" James asked.

"no."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Why do I feel like things are getting worse."

"It's worse."

"And," Wanda said through gritted teeth, "Holly is pregnant."

Tony and James tapped their foreheads at the same time, expressing their headaches with motion.

"Really?" Sam lost his voice. "She has a second child?!"

"Really, I took a special look." Wanda sighed, rubbing her temples, "about three months."

"She won't break down," Pietro murmured.

"Not yet." Peter glanced into the room.Holly was feeding Dorothy.

They fell silent.

After a long time, Tony spoke first.

"...we have to take care of her. She's the Captain's wife, the woman Steve loved. No matter what the future holds, that won't change."

Wanda turned pale.

"Don't use the past tense, please." Pietro rolled his eyes at Tony. "It hurts."

Tony was noncommittal.James sighed deeply.

"Let's just... handle this the way a superhero widow does," James said, making a decision. "Natasha and I will visit her regularly to make sure she and the kids are safe. Restoring memories in Steve Before, they might not be suitable to meet."

"What if Steve never forgets about Holly?" Peter questioned, "I mean, yes, of course we have to take care of Holly, I absolutely will, Holly is a good person, she deserves to be treated well." Treat it. But, if the captain still can't recover, why don't you let him know Holly's existence? Holly needs Steve."

"At least not for the time being." Sam frowned, folded his arms around his chest, and commented, "Both of them need a little time to buffer. Captain can't be stimulated, and neither can Holly."

"We can ask Holly for her opinion," Pietro interjected. "She's the party."

"She said she wanted to go home," Wanda said.

The others looked at Wanda and fell silent.

"She wanted to go home, she said it. I felt... well, I saw that she wanted to be alone. She was tired, and she felt like she couldn't take any more."

Everyone looked at each other.

"She wants someone." Tony shrugged and curled his lips. "It makes sense, I understand."

"No way." Sam frowned, "She's being autistic?"

"Maybe it's her way of breaking down, we need to give her a little space."

"Wanda's right. What else could she do? She can't meet Steve, can't even let Steve know that she exists, and she has to take care of Dorothy, and the one in her belly. Until Until we can tell Steve the truth, it's for the best."

"Tony, I don't agree..."

"Give her space, I mean it..."

"How about we form a visiting team?"

Now, Steve lives in Tony's Stark building, the Avengers quarters.

His teammates live here, including Howard's son Tony, and his buddy James.

It was No. 40 two days after Steve woke up from the cradle of regeneration.

No job, no goals, no ideas, no keeping up with the times and adapting to modern society.He felt that he had just woken up from the ice, and he was still in the last century, during World War II. He owed Peggy a dance, but Peggy died, and he often had headaches because of memory loss.

Yes, he has amnesia.Steve knew, he really knew, that he had woken up long ago, that he had just lost his memory, and he couldn't remember much of what happened in between.

Everything is kinda bad.Fortunately, his teammates took good care of him, especially Bucky and Tony.

According to the unanimous statements of everyone, and the information Steve observed and collected, Steve can be sure that in the past two years or so, he woke up and joined a certain superhero organization—called the Avengers, which belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D.

He's also Captain America, with many missions to accomplish.He partnered with Bucky and Tony, met new good brothers Sam and Scott, and led the juniors Pietro, Wanda, Peter. Lint is the conciliator, and Vision is red.

He also elected president.It seems to be because of the task.

The boss of S.H.I.E.L.D., his boss, Fury, is not suitable for missions based on his current situation, and, externally, S.H.I.E.L.D. is claiming that Captain America Stephen Rogers died heroically, so Steve is currently on paid leave , for rehabilitation.

He has more time to paint.

Steve tried to remember the past two years, and it was embarrassing that whenever his friends teased someone or something, Steve couldn't keep up.

Once, Steve heard his buddies discussing someone again.

"I went to visit them this afternoon. They are all well, her life is on track and Dorothy is healthy. She can call now."

"Really? So fast?"

This is small talk over dinner.Natasha and Wanda discussed in a low voice, and Steve unconsciously paid attention to their chat.He intuited that it had something to do with him.

"In a few days, I should move in to live with her again. She is almost five months old, and it is inconvenient to do things."

"Okay. Where's Pietro?"

"Move there too. Let's go together."

Steve frowned slightly and stopped moving.Natasha and Wanda discuss a pregnant woman.

"By the way, Lin Que. Natasha, do you know that when I went there in the afternoon, I saw Lin Que taking a walk with Holly! This is too scary, I was so scared that I almost fainted Lin Que. What is he trying to do?!"

"Maybe you want to sneak in?"

"Is not funny."

Hearing this, Steve couldn't help but join Natasha's conversation with Wanda.

"Whose family are you talking about?" Steve asked.

Natasha and Wanda stopped talking and looked up at the same time.They were separated from Steve by Clint, who was on the phone with his wife.

The two female Avengers exchanged a look.

"Yes," Natasha replied, looking normal. "We're talking about a superhero's... widow."

Steve noticed that Wanda's expression became a little strange in Natasha's words.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Steve asked again.

Wanda stared at Steve with wide eyes.

"Probably not." Wanda replied quickly.

"Not yet." Natasha continued, "We will let you know if there is any."

Steve suspects that Natasha has something to hide from Wanda.But think about it, it's someone else's widow, and it's not good for him to care too much, so he won't express his opinion anymore.

"By the way, Steve, I heard you've been painting these days." Natasha changed the subject.

"Yeah," Steve admitted. "It's kind of rusty. I'm trying to get a job."

"You can help out at Tony's gallery." Suddenly, Peter interjected from the other side of the table, "Captain, you'll love it there."

Everyone at the table fell silent for a second when Peter spoke.

"Okay." Steve readily agreed, "Tomorrow."
