Chapter 319 Ask the World, What Is Love?

Steve stood outside the gate for a long time. Even though it was almost dark, he was still determined to see Peggy.

However, it seemed that what Lainie said was right. Sharon Carter, who had returned to the manor with flowers, did not come out again until the sun completely set.

As the sky got darker, Steve's expectation gradually sank to the bottom.

"The old lady... is she really so cruel not to see Mr. Rogers?"

Looking at the sky outside the cabin, Simmons looked at Rogers' gradually dimming back, and felt a little sympathetic.

They also knew that the old man's body was cured by Lainie's alchemy potion, and they even had a face-to-face conversation with old man Carter, but in order to respect the old man's wishes, everyone in the investigation team tacitly kept Rogers secret.

Lainie shook her head and said that she didn't know.

To be honest, the two people she couldn't see clearly now were the shrewd Nick Fury and the reborn Agent Carter.

At least the egghead could get some information through communication and corners, but this old woman whom she had met less than five times before and after, on the contrary, made Lainie completely helpless.

Lainie had no idea what she was thinking or planning, let alone guessing why the old woman didn't see Captain America.

Didn't you see that you were almost controlled by the other party? Still guessing? Isn't that asking for trouble!

What? You mean Alexander Pierce?

What's he? At worst, Lainie can just go to his door and shoot him. Can he get up and revive by then?

"Ask the world, what is love? It makes people live and die together."

With a sigh, Lainie didn't get the feedback she wanted to see from the radar perception system. Finally, she took a look at the sky outside and shook her head to signal Melinda to prepare to go back.

Dinglingling!

Just when Skye was still planning to persuade Lainie to wait a little longer, there was a sudden movement from the communication system in the cabin.

"Is it...Agent Hill?"

Simmons was a little bit unbelievable. The person who sent the communication request turned out to be Maria Hill who had disappeared for a long time!

Laini's eyelids jumped when she heard it, and a bad premonition suddenly came to her heart.

"Put it in!"

Not daring to delay, Simmons hurriedly did it, and then heard the slightly impatient voice of Agent Hill from the other end.

"Laini? Where are you now? Something happened here, I need you to come over quickly!"

Noticed that there were many people in the cabin, Agent Hill did not make it clear, but she believed that Lai Ni could understand what she meant.

Because, except for the plan she was responsible for, there was nothing else that would be asked of Lai Ni!

"I know, I'll be there soon!"

Laini's face was a little gloomy. If the trouble Hill said was really as Lai Ni expected, then they would probably be in big trouble!

After cutting off the communication, Lai Ni didn't say much, and directly called Melinda to start the engine and prepare for takeoff.

Then rushed out of the cabin quickly and came straight to Steve's side.

"Steve, I'm afraid we can't wait here any longer. The bureau has sent a message asking us to go back immediately!"

Laini didn't plan to tell Captain America about the Pegasus Project. This guy was in a low mood at this time, and it was really not right to use the matter of the Cosmic Cube to stimulate him.

Captain America didn't say anything, but looked at the brightly lit manor not far away with a lonely expression.

Peggy still didn't forgive him, and she didn't want to see him again in the end.

Captain America moved away with difficulty. At this time, he felt that all his strength was drained. His steps were a little messy, and he almost fell to the ground.

Laini saw this and hurriedly wanted to help him, but Rogers waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Captain America walked a distance of just a few dozen meters as if he had crossed a natural chasm. The farther he walked, the harder it was to walk.

Until the last moment of boarding the Quinjet, Steve Rogers' face was already covered with two lines of hot tears.

"Mr. Rogers..."

Simmons, who couldn't bear it any longer, almost told Steve the truth with red eyes, but before she opened her mouth, she was already embraced by Fitz.

"Sorry, Simmons, we can't..."

Captain America didn't hear the two people's whispers, and even said that his attention was not on the two people at all at this moment. At this moment, there was only endless self-blame and regret in his heart.

Through the still closed iron gate, Captain America looked at the main entrance of the manor villa.

The distance that was originally close to him was so far away and so daunting at this moment.

"Mr. Rogers, please sit down, we have to take off."

Meister on the side reminded softly. At this time, she was probably the only one who could be so cruel.

Rogers stepped back after knowing it, and the position of the cabin door was given up. Meister then reached out and pressed the switch to control the cabin door to close slowly.

As the turbofan engines on both wings of the Quinjet slowly increased their power, the manor in Rogers' sight began to slowly move away from him, until the cabin door completely blocked his view, and Rogers sat down in the cabin helplessly.

"Mr. Rogers!"

Seeing this, Mester hurriedly reached out to help, and together with Lainie, they pushed Rogers back to the seat on the side wall of the cabin.

Seeing Rogers in a trough, Skye felt a little unbearable. She was about to say something, but was stopped by Leni's look.

After opening her mouth, Skye finally failed to reveal the secret in her heart.

They promised the old man that they would never reveal their cure to Mr. Rogers no matter what.

In order to give Rogers some private space, Leni and others gently placed a pack of tissues next to Rogers, and then returned to their seats, silently and depressingly preparing to end the trip to London.

Along the way, Rogers, who was in a depressed mood, did not trouble the investigation team except sitting silently in his seat.

Everyone in the investigation team also knew that they should not disturb him at this time, so they did not take the initiative to speak out. The entire communication was completed through eyes or text until the Quinjet returned to SHIELD headquarters.

Slowly lowering the flight altitude of the Quinjet, Leni unbuckled her seat belt and stood up.

"Skye, you and the others take Mr. Rogers to our lounge to rest first. I have something else to do here."

After leaving these words, Leni glanced at Rogers, who was still silent. Seeing that the other party had no objection, she quickly left the cabin and walked straight towards Coulson, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Huh? Oh! Mr. Rogers, please..."

Skye watched helplessly as Leni dumped this mess on her, and was speechless for a moment, but she couldn't just leave Rogers here, so she had no choice but to walk to Rogers and help him get off the plane.

Looking at the extremely depressed Steve Rogers behind Leni, Coulson frowned.

"Did you take him to see Agent Carter?"

Leni turned her head and glanced at the lost Steve, sighing helplessly.

"Forget it, the old lady is so stubborn that she refused to open the door for Rogers until the end...Forget it, don't talk about it, what's going on with Hill?"

Coulson also knew what Agent Carter told him, and he was helpless about the old man's request.

I took one last look at Captain America and thought that I might as well wait until next time for the autograph.

"There have been several energy dumps at the base this month. However, the situation is relatively stable for the time being. There are currently no casualties, but it is unclear what will happen next. The director asked me to take you there immediately. In this regard, maybe you can More experienced.”

"Energy dump?"

Leni's eyelids twitched and she wanted to ask when was the last time there was an energy dump from the Cosmic Rubik's Cube? What are the ultimate consequences of an energy dump?

I'm afraid there won't be anyone in SHIELD who knows it better than her!
