Chapter 148 Redemption
Captain Steve Rogers is very hesitant recently, because Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., showed him some terrible weapons, but he doesn't approve of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s approach, he doesn't know if he's doing it right Even he was a little confused about what was the right thing to do.
So, under the confusion of his thoughts, he came to her home for the first time and saw her dying of old age lying on the hospital bed.
Peggy Carter, his former love...
He talked to her a lot, including things from the past, things that happened recently, some thoughts of his own, and some confusions he encountered.
In short, sitting on the other side's bed, Steve talked a lot, just like talking to an old friend.
In fact, the other party is indeed his old friend, but this old friend of mine is already 'old', but he is still in his prime?
He had been afraid to come before, he had been avoiding, but recently he figured it out, or it can be said that he resigned to his fate. After knowing that she might not last long, he came here.
"you……"
"I'm here."
"Steve?"
"Um"
"you are still alive……"
"..."
"You're back again?"
"..."
"Why did you take so long to come back now..."
"!!"
Looking at the old woman who had completely forgotten the warm conversation between the two just now due to dementia on the hospital bed, watching the other party cry like a child after seeing herself, even when the oil is exhausted and the lamp is exhausted. To an unclear extent, he still remembered and called his name, and questioned himself why he came back only now. Captain Steve felt that his heart was about to break.
"Peggy..."
"I……"
Although there were thousands of words, he opened his mouth, but he finally closed it slowly trembling, holding the other's withered hand in a daze, watching the other party lying on the bed sobbing.
He knew that she was very old...
She is obviously in the same era as him, younger than him, but now, she is almost at the end of her life.
Come to think of it now...
So what if he worked so hard to save the world?
In the end, isn't it impossible to save yourself?
of course!
Can't save her...
A crashed plane with no way to turn back, a frozen world of frost and silence, made him owe her a promise, a dance that could never be fulfilled.
Because he was 70 years late!
He owes her...
Maybe I will never be able to repay it in this life, and I have no chance to repay it again!
However, who should pay back what the world owes him?
"..."
Seeing her crying and fussing for a long time before finally falling asleep, Steve felt heartbroken.
However, he had no choice but to hold the other's hand that was no longer round and full in vain, feeling the emptiness and powerlessness, like a pulse that would be interrupted at any time, and blaming himself in frustration and pain.
He came back late, too late...
She still remembers him, even if it's the end of her life, even if she's insane, even if she can't worry about others, she still remembers him!
But everything is irreparable...
"..."
"Well?!"
After an unknown amount of time, in the slightly dim room, Steve suddenly felt someone unscrew the door from the outside and walk in.
"Who?"
Steve, who thought that his and Peggy's time had been disturbed, asked a little annoyed.
"I!"
"You are……"
"Mograine?!"
"what!"
"Captain, please don't get excited, I have no malicious intentions!"
"What are you doing here?"
"It's nothing."
"My people told me that they saw you coming here, and I thought you might need me, so I came here."
Renault didn't hide anything, and directly said something that was likely to be obtained by the other party.
"..."
"Explain your purpose, Mr. Mograine!"
Steve obviously didn't know Raynor well, but he had heard a lot about him, and in a sense, the two had fought side by side.
"Steve..."
"It can be seen that she is dying..."
Renault didn't say why he came, but walked to the bed, glanced at the weak Peggy Carter lying on the bed, and then shook his head and said.
"I know!"
"Explain your purpose!"
Steve got a little impatient.
He doesn't want to hear such nonsense from an inexplicable quasi-stranger like Renault talking to him now, he just wants to be here quietly with her, even if it's just for a short while.
"All right……"
"Is such that!"
"I've read about you, and I'm very sorry about that, so maybe I can help you a bit?"
Finally, Renault smiled and said his reason for coming.
"!!"
"What do you mean?"
Steve was startled, and then suddenly remembered Renault's identity and ability, but he didn't think Renault could help Peggy who had reached the end of her life.
"Yes, it is the Holy Light!"
"My Light can solve your problems as well as hers!"
"!!"
"what is the problem?"
"Her life has come to an end. She has lived a life without you, and if nothing happens to you, you will also spend a life without her for a long time in the future."
"I can see that your heart is very painful, very hesitant, and very self-blaming, right?"
"And I happen to be able to help!"
"..."
"You're wasting your time, Mr Mograine!"
"Can you still restore her youth and let us go back to the day we parted? Don't be kidding, unless you are God!"
After being silent for a while, Steve suddenly raised his head and said coldly to Renault.
He knew Renault, and he also knew the general function of Holy Light, but he didn't think that the other party's ability called Holy Light could help Peggy now, because it was the domain of God.
"I'm not God, and I don't have any friendship with him, but..."
"I can really help you!"
"Although I can't let you go back to the day you parted, I can make her return to the way you were when you parted!"
"Believe me, Mr. Rogers, the Holy Light is omnipotent!"
In fact, the Holy Light can't, because even if Lei Nuo lightcast this Peggy Carter, it can at most prolong her life, and that can't change the fact that she is already very old.
However, Renault has something else!
Reality gem!
That's right, that gem is in Lei Nuo's hands now, including the space gem!
The Reality Gem allows users to ignore the laws of science and nature, and modify them arbitrarily, which naturally includes life, old age, sickness and death!
Under normal circumstances, the Reality Gem cannot be used alone, without the assistance of other gems, the consequences will be devastating to the user!But who let Renault have more gems in his hands, three enough for space, reality and soul?
Anyway, now with the help of the Space Gem, he doesn't find it difficult to use the Reality Gem. He has already learned how to use it, and it is indeed quite powerful and impressive.
"..."
However, Steve did not speak, but stared suspiciously at the eloquent Renault.
"Why, you don't believe it?"
The other party's eyes showed some problems, which made Renault feel a little regretful.
"Ah!"
"Should I believe it?"
"..."
"Well, it seems that there is indeed a lack of understanding and trust between us..."
"This is my business card. You can find someone who knows me about me, such as a tin woodman or something. When you figure it out, you can use it to come to my house to find me. However, it is best to find me in Before she died?"
"correct!"
After putting a business card on the bedside table, before leaving, the holy light in Renault's hand flashed, and then, the woman on the bed looked a little better, and her breathing became more even.
"!!"
"You... what did you do?"
"This is the Holy Light!"
"In addition to treating diseases, it can also do what I just promised you. Of course, I won't help you for nothing. If you want to get her, you have to pay something."
"When you think about it, come to me again!"
"I won't force you, you think about it yourself?"
After speaking, Lei Nuo ignored the captain, turned his head and went out, and then gently closed the wooden door with excellent sound insulation effect.
"gentlemen!"
At this time, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent waiting outside the door saw Renault coming out, and hurriedly bowed slightly to him,
"Don't worry about me, continue with your work."
This manor-like house is a house arranged by S.H.I.E.L.D. for that woman to live up to her old age. The security work is very good, and there are many people, including doctors and nurses, on standby. But now, Renault can walk in without hesitation, and Don't worry about being known by a certain one-eyed dragon.
"Yes!"
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent stood at attention, then quickly stepped aside.
"..."
Nodding, Renault didn't continue to say anything, but walked straight along the corridor of the mansion towards the outside.
Now, things are getting more and more interesting...
Hydra has corrupted S.H.I.E.L.D. and has been entrenched for many years. The two sides are intertwined. The current situation of both sides can be said to be the positive and negative sides of the same coin.
What's interesting is that during this period of time, his Church of the Holy Light corrupted S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra at the same time. Now the three are intermingled, S.H.I.E.L.D. The opposite side, and they are hidden on the middle edge of the coin. It can be said that the three parties do not distinguish between you and me at the moment, and they will win in the end, but it is really something worth looking forward to.
Of course, what is more worth looking forward to is the captain of the defensive cavalry that he has booked for a long time!
Perhaps, he should think about how to give the other party a new name, or maybe it can be called 'Steve, Holy Knight' or 'Steve, Supreme Guardian'?
He was not in a hurry, he knew that the guy in the room would definitely not be able to refuse the chips he threw out, and the reason why he came now was just to step on the right point, neither sooner nor later.
but……
Lei Nuo suddenly thought that he seemed to be more and more like a villain, but he didn't care so much!
Now he is just following the guidance of the Holy Light.
"."
Soon, Renault walked outside the mansion.
Looking at the green dense forest, neat grassland and tall oak trees outside, breathing the fresh air, and looking at this manor like a natural oxygen bar, Renault suddenly laughed.
Needless to say, SHIELD has a lot of resources, and he is really getting more and more interested.
