[Captain Detective] Captain Detective

[SR: This is the era of miss, this is the era of reunion. 】

"You cry."

"……No."

"Don't play dumb, you must have cried!"

"No!" I firmly denied.

Ellie looked at me contemptuously: "I'm a liar! My eyes are red!"

"..." I silently turned my head away. Ellie didn't come back until I finished watching the movie. I wanted to thank her for her thoughtful avoidance, but when she opened her mouth, I wanted to hit her.

She was still chattering: "Prima (German: terrific), I can see it, the captain's wet eyes look so sweet! Could it be that the captain's previous nickname was sweetheart? From now on, I will call you sweetheart!" "

"...Do you dare to answer me when I call you poor-mouthed?"

Ellie sighed rather melancholy: "It's okay, sweetheart, you're not the first person to call me that anyway."

Resisting the urge to beat her violently, I asked, "And then? You let me watch this movie, do you have anything to say?"

"Everything I want to say is in this movie." Ellie smiled slightly, that wonderful little canine tooth looming, "Do you understand?"

"……don't know."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you still want to visit Ms. Carter." Ellie played with her hair, "I hope I didn't self-defeating."

of course not.But I don't want to say this to her.

"Ellie, are you German? Or, Austrian?"

"Germans, pure Germans." Ellie replied, her pronunciation has always been weird, but the word "Germans" is very accurate, "but I have sworn to defend the interests of the American people for five years."

"But you are very incompetent," I pointed out, "the female police officer who skipped work and was investigated."

"Ha, it's just a special case this time!" Ellie said unhappily, "I've never been caught before!"

I thought what was she going to say!Is it something to be proud of skipping work and not being caught? !

"Your face says," Ellie laughed, "'Skip work and fuck you'."

"...Come on, I won't say such vulgar words."

"Really? You really didn't say it?" She had a look of disbelief, "How is it possible! Let's bet! If you tell me, you will buy me chocolate. Say it once, buy it once."

"I don't gamble! I have nothing to do, why should I bet with you!"

"Captain America! Are you afraid? You must say vulgar words too, right? Admit it, you have to buy me chocolate!"

"...I'm the one who suffers in the end." I stared at her, and she also raised her head and stared back without flinching.It suddenly occurred to me that I am a soldier—a former soldier, she is a policeman—the current policeman, both of whom are civil servants of the country, to fight each other here over whether to speak vulgar language or buy chocolate, it is really...too childish up!For a moment, I couldn't hold back anymore, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise: "Okay, I admit defeat, I have said it before-don't ask me what I said! When I can make money, I will I'll buy you chocolate."

Ellie got my words, the corners of her mouth became more curved, and the little canine teeth appeared again: "You have smiled sincerely once, so it looks like you really look like a handsome guy who hasn't aged in 70 years! "

I was stunned, unable to tell whether it was emotion or emotion. I just looked at Ellie, who was wearing a medical tape on her nose and smiling slyly with her small canine teeth, and wanted to rub her head very much.

The phone ringing suddenly interrupted my next actions. I picked up the small box that I couldn't play at all, and looked at the contact notes displayed on the screen.

It's Fury, and this is his second call today. Ellie also saw it, and she waved her hand: "You have to go to the balcony to answer the call from S.H.I.E.L.D.—As a policeman, I can't listen to it."

Well, she was actually quite considerate.I nodded, got up and went to the balcony.

"Hello, Director Fury," I said.

"Hello, Captain. ’ Fury responded gravely, ‘I have news for you.I think it will be good news for you...』

Listening to what he said next, I couldn't help but clenched my phone tightly and my eyes widened.He said: 'Ms Carter wants to see you now. 』

I don't know when I hung up the phone or how I walked back to the living room, but I only came to my senses when Ellie looked over the back of the sofa.

"Well, Captain, your joy is beyond words. What's going on? SHIELD invented a time machine to take you back to the battlefield of the last century?" She asked in a frivolous tone.

I heard my voice trembling with joy and tension saying, "Peggy wants me to see her now! I want to see Peggy now!"

"Wow, Prima (German: great)!" Ellie raised her eyebrows and laughed, "That's really exciting, you're luckyboy, Steve." After a few steps, he looked at me carefully.

I was a little embarrassed to be looked at like this, I turned my head: "What's wrong?"

"Before you go, I suggest you change your hairstyle," Ellie said. "Oh, maybe the beard should be trimmed too."

She said that I can still understand the hair. This hairstyle that was very popular in my era has been ridiculed by Natasha many times in modern times.But the beard...I touched my chin, it's only a very shallow layer, don't you need to shave?

Before I even opened my mouth, Ellie said first: "Sweetheart, you can just make a pink and tender peach with peace of mind, and don't turn into a kiwi." I wanted to refute her, but the point is, I couldn't find a suitable one words.

At this time, Ellie asked again: "Did Chief Fury say when he will pick you up?"

"...I forgot." He was so excited to hear the news that Fury didn't remember what he said after that.

Ellie sighed speechlessly: "Forget it, let him wait even if he comes early. Steve, give me half an hour, and I will make you a member of this era."

"Half an hour?" Is that enough?

"It's just the appearance, it's enough." She said, and stood up, "Next, it's the moment to witness the miracle."

"...so that miracle moment was when you cut your hair short and shaved your beard?" Natasha in the van rolled her eyes boredly.

I sat next to her, stroking my much shorter hair uncomfortably, and didn't answer her.Unbelievable that a police officer could be so good at cutting hair and shaving.

It was when she was holding the electric razor, I was a little worried that that thing would cut off my scalp, so I didn't move at all.When she insisted on shaving me and was almost done, I couldn't help but ask her why she was so good at shaving.

Guess what she said?She said calmly: "I haven't shaved anyone before, but I often go to the buffet, and I'm good at peeling the leg of lamb myself."

If it wasn't for that knife not far from my neck, I would have literally punched her.

Natasha reached over and stroked my hair: "I didn't expect your neighbor to be that sweet female police officer... Huh? You even put on a layer of hairspray? It's unnecessary, right? Why don't you put on some perfume? Make it like a blind date."

I patted her hand off: "What are you doing here?"

Fury in the driver's seat glanced in the rearview mirror. Natasha shrugged naturally: "I'm afraid that you will stay at Ms. Carter's house later and refuse to leave. I will be responsible for knocking you unconscious and dragging you back."

"...besides whether you can beat me," I muttered so softly that I could barely hear myself, "I'm not hanging around Peggy's house."

Natasha didn't respond anymore, I don't know if she didn't believe it or didn't hear clearly.Still feeling nervous, I shoved my hands into my coat pockets.

What should I say when I see Peggy?What will she say to me?Is her family with her?Is her husband nice to her?How many children does she have?I looked down at the DVD that Ellie insisted I had on my lap.

Will Peggy...will she live life to the fullest without regrets like Rose in the movie?

"Ooooops, I found it," Natasha's voice suddenly came to her ear, she was looking at it with her mobile phone, but she was not talking to me, "Director, do you know the TP organization?"

Fury was driving, turning a corner.I tilted my head: "TP organization?"

Natasha turned the phone around, and I saw colorful fonts floating on the black background on the screen of the phone: "Triangular Prism?"

"Yes, it is said to be a very powerful organization," Natasha said, "Of course, it can't compare to our Avengers. Hey, Director, are you talking?"

Fury looked impatiently in the rearview mirror: "What do you want me to say?"

"Say what? Just talk..." Natasha brushed her hair back and smiled meaningfully, "How was Agent May who went out last night?"

Agent May?Are they talking about something inside S.H.I.E.L.D.?I don’t know much about S.H.I.E.L.D. I know that it was established by Peggy and Howard, the current director is the one-eyed man driving in front, the commander is Hill, and there are many excellent agents such as Black Widow and Hawkeye under it, and others... I still don't interrupt.

"Agent May has his own mission, which has nothing to do with you, Black Widow." Fury said coldly.

"Hmm, then you must not know, did I follow her last night?" Natasha put on a winning smile, "How much do you think I know?"

"..." Fury didn't speak anymore, but there was something called warning in his eyes.

Natasha smiled and turned to look at me. I think her smile is very meaningful: "Captain, you can live in your new home with peace of mind. There is no warmer and safer place in the world than home."

"Of course..." I could only agree with her words, savoring the deep meaning in her words, but couldn't understand her eyes.

Where Peggy lives, I don't recognize it.Maybe I've been here in the past, maybe I haven't.But judging from this magnificent small building, she lived a good life.While I am relieved, I am also a little worried.Will my coming disturb their peace?

Natasha walked me downstairs and didn't follow me in.She looked like she was about to go back to the car, and it seemed that she wanted to have a good chat with Fury about the prism.

"Hey, Steve," Natasha pulled me back with a slight smile on her lips, "you have to be self-conscious."

I understood what she meant: "Yeah, I won't have to stay."

"That's good," Natasha nodded. "If it doesn't work, just think about the sweet police officer waiting for you next door." She raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully. Before I could refute her, she turned and walked away .

The nurse in white was full of curiosity and looked me up and down.

I forced a smile: "Hello."

"Hello, Captain, Rogers." The nurse blushed shyly and led me into the house with a smile on her face, "Ms. Carter has been waiting for you for a long time."

I only felt nervous and cramped, and the changes before my eyes were confusing, and before I knew it, I came to the door of the room.The nurse was about to open the door, but I grabbed her, took a deep breath, and stretched out my hand to push the door open by myself.

There is a bed in a simple and plainly decorated room.Lying on the bed alone, looking out the window, silently in a daze.

Even though I was fully prepared, I was still stunned——Peggy, I am really, really old.The once elegant black hair was completely white, and the original delicate skin was covered with traces of time.

My eyes felt sore, tears were still in my eyes, but my voice had slipped out of my throat: "Peggy..."

The person on the bed turned his head slowly, looked at me with cloudy eyeballs, his dry and pale lips moved slightly, but there was no sound.Her features are shining in the sun, still so familiar, still my Peggy.

I raised my feet and walked over, walking faster and faster, and when I was a few steps away from the bed, my hands softened, and the DVD Ellie gave me fell to the ground.I froze there, staring blankly at Peggy's old face.She suddenly smiled, her eyes and eyebrows were full of the beauty when she first met her.

The restless heart instantly calmed down.I bent down to pick up the DVD and went straight to the bed.The bed was a bit low, and Peggy was lying low, so I knelt down so I could be at eye level with her: "Long time no see, Peggy."

It's been a long time, so I said it naturally.

"..." Peggy laughed silently, and then replied in a weak and old voice: "You too, Steve." She stretched out her hand, but because of her weakness, she couldn't touch my face smoothly, so I grabbed the dry old one. Clinging her hand to her face, her eyes flickered, "You're still alive...you're back..." Her voice choked up.

The tears I held back for a long time burst out in an instant: "Yes Peggy, I am still alive, and I am back."

"...But..." Tears rolled down her face, she stared into my eyes, crying with a smile, "But...Steve, it's been...too long..."

I felt dry and sore throat, grabbed her hand, and kissed gently: "It's okay, at least I'm back with you now! At least from now on, I will be with you!"

Peggy's fingers moved, and the fingertips stroked the corners of my eyes, and I could clearly feel the rough lines on them: "You're still you, Steve...but I...I'm not me anymore..."

"Really?" I squeezed out a smile, "But the you I saw was still the same you back then."

"Heh, Steve," Peggy smiled happily, "Your lying skills... are still the same as before..." She lowered her eyes and stared at the DVD I put beside her bed, "This is..." Titanic"?"

"Yes," I quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, and picked up the DVD to show her, "The female police officer who lives next door to me lent it to me, she said that in this century, the proof of a lover is to watch this movie together. "

Peggy slowly reached out and touched the DVD: "Yes, I've heard of it too... So, Steve, would you like to watch this movie with me?"

I smiled from the bottom of my heart: "Peggy, you were right about one thing just now, I am still the same as before-I am always willing to do anything with you."
