Chapter 316: To Help You, I Stole a Quinjet From the Bureau

Time flies by. After a busy winter with the investigation team, Lainie finally received a notice from Pepper in early April 2012.

"Stark Tower is about to be completed. The company will hold a celebration party. Remember to come back."

"Tell her that if she doesn't come back, I will tear down her room and use it as a warehouse."

Listening to Tony's voice from the other end of the phone, Lainie's mouth slightly raised a little arc.

"Okay, I know, I will go back then."

After a brief chat with Pepper, Lainie hung up the phone on the grounds of work.

Then the smile on her face gradually faded, and finally slowly turned into a sad look.

The relaxation of these few months made her forget the risks she would face in the future, but now with Stark about to be completed, it means that the war covering the center of New York will also be imminent.

And what Lainie can do now is to make all preparations and then take the best state to meet this crisis.

Dinglingling~

Just as Lainie was preparing to plan the next arrangement, the phone on the table rang again.

Lainie picked it up and looked at the caller ID. The caller turned out to be Captain America Steve Rogers, whom she hadn't seen for several months.

"Steve? What do you want to talk to me about?"

The person on the other end was silent for a while, and after a long time, he slowly sighed.

"Can you please take me to London? The military has restricted me from leaving the country, so I can only call you."

Lainie was stunned. Leaving the country? Captain America wants to leave the country?

"Where are you going? Explain it in advance, I'm not omnipotent."

"London."

Hearing this place name, Lainie immediately realized that Captain America had obviously figured it out and wanted to see Peggy Carter again.

In this regard, Lainie had no reason to refuse, and with her current authority, as long as she followed the whole process, it would not be a difficult task to take Captain America to London.

"Okay, I know. Where are you now?"

Laini got up from the sofa, picked up the ID card beside her and prepared to go downstairs to drive to him.

"I'm here in Virginia..."

Laini paused while putting on her shoes and asked again with some uncertainty.

"I'm here in Virginia now, the specific location is..."

Hearing that the voice of Captain America was not a joke, Lainie was convinced, sighed helplessly, and simply gave up the idea of ​​driving.

"Did you ride that Harley all over the East Coast of the United States in the past few months?"

As Lainie guessed, the truth was not so outrageous, but it was not far off.

In order to avoid winter and escape the constraints of the steel forest, Captain America spent Christmas 2011 alone, and then began his journey to the East Coast of the United States gradually heading south.

Of course, his heart also included some intentions to visit Peggy Carter.

With a sigh helplessly, Lainie, who was dressed, pushed open the door and went straight to the lounge of the dispatch group.

She had to apply for a Quinjet, and then it would be best if she could get a pilot.

There was no other way. It was too difficult to take Captain America out of the country through formal channels. Lainie could only take shortcuts.

Pushing open the door of the lounge, Lainie, who had already confirmed that everyone was inside through the radar system, coughed lightly.

"Put down the chess, game consoles and French books in your hands. We have something to do!"

...

"So... our mission this time... is to help Captain America travel thousands of miles to London to renew his old relationship?"

After listening to Lainie's explanation, Skye's face looked a little strange, and Melinda, who was tricked by Lainie to be the pilot of this flight, also looked strange.

"For this simple flight, it's obviously enough for you and Meister, why do you have to call me?"

After adjusting the Quinjet to automatic driving, Melinda turned back and looked at Lainie with a bad face.

"Um... I'm just afraid that you'll be too bored staying alone in the bureau, so..."

Laini laughed dryly and then turned the topic to Steve.

"Since this operation is my personal decision, I'll keep an eye on it if there's any problem. Just treat it as a trip to London, and you can relax.

As for Rogers, I'll help him contact Agent Carter, but whether he's willing to see him in the end is another matter."

Everyone was speechless. Such a reckless operation, looking at the entire SHIELD, I'm afraid only Lainie dared to do this.

She wasn't afraid that Coulson would have a temporary mission and couldn't find them at that time?

In fact, Laini was not worried at all, because she had already made a hello with Agent Sitwell, and if there was really a situation, she would be notified at any time.

"I really admire you..."

More than 10 minutes later, Captain America Steve Rogers, who was on a secluded road in Virginia, looked up at the Quinjet that was slowly descending from the sky and removing its optical camouflage.

As the fighter plane landed, the door at the rear of the cabin slowly opened, and Lainie, wearing sunglasses, appeared in Captain America's sight and waved at him.

Captain America restarted his Harley and rode directly onto the Quinjet.

"To help you, I 'stole' a Quinjet from SHIELD without telling Nick Fury. You have to buy us a drink when you go back."

As a joke, Leni reached out and pressed the switch to close the hatch, and then helped Captain America secure the Harley motorcycle.

"No problem, as long as you don't drink Lafite from 1982, I should still be able to afford it."

Hearing this, Leni looked at Captain America up and down in surprise. She didn't expect that in just a few months, Captain America would already know about the 82-year-old Lafite.

"People always have to go out and experience things, right?"

Seeing Leni's doubts, Captain America just smiled, then turned to say hello to Skye and other members of the investigation team.

After the Quinjet took off again, Leni asked the questions in several people's minds.

"I'm afraid you didn't come to Virginia just for a trip, right?"

Taking the pure water from Simmons, Captain America thanked him softly, and then slowly told the story of the trip.

Arrogance set out from New York, and the journey was generally smooth. I met many strangers in various pubs and hotels along the way, and learned a lot from their mouths.

Whether it's history, humanities, or just simple everyday things, Captain America heard a lot of stories along the way.

This also allowed him to deepen his understanding of this era and see a lot of the world that is not so easy to see in New York.

Then seemingly having made up his mind, Captain America rode along the way, or rather directly, to Agent Carter's former home, which was this town in Virginia.

He felt that he was ready, even if he would be kicked out by the other person's family, he wanted to see Peggy Carter again during the last moments of the old man's life.

However, reality gave him a heavy blow, and the Peggy Carter family moved away...

As if expected, Agent Carter's family moved completely back to their hometown in London just before Christmas this year, where her children planned to let the old man spend his old age peacefully.

But Captain America didn't know about all of this.

Even S.H.I.E.L.D. only learned of the news after Mr. Carter completed preparations for the relocation.

So unfortunately, Cap missed it.

When he arrived here, he was told by local neighbors that the Carter family had moved back to London long ago.

In desperation, Captain America made up his mind to take a flight to New York, but on his way to the cabin, a group of SHIELD off-road vehicles suddenly appeared and blocked his way, and told him:

"Sorry, Mr. Rogers, you are currently unable to leave the country. We cannot let you board the plane to London until we get the director's approval."
