She had studied Supergirl's abilities and knew they far surpassed those of ordinary people.
Actually, she didn't want to get involved in these things anymore; she just wanted to live a quiet life.
“This is part of the plan; Yelena wants to see you and me working together,” Alexei explained.
After hearing about the plan, he thought about how much he owed his children and decided to participate. Since he had nowhere else to go, being a hero wouldn't be bad.
"Okay, I'll join. Shall we set off now?" Melina remained silent for a long time before finally saying helplessly.
Seeing this situation, she knew she wouldn't be able to leave if she didn't agree, so she had no choice.
She knew the location of the Red House air base and wanted to escape the Red House to save the girls.
She used to think Drekoff was invincible, but now that she has Supergirl as a teammate, things are different, and she feels that she may only need to do some logistical work.
"No, some teammates haven't arrived yet, we have to wait." Lu Yunmeng poured herself a glass of water and casually sat down on the sofa.
She needed to pinpoint the locations of Drekoff at the Red House air fortress, as well as Yelena and the other widows. Previous reconnaissance hadn't found Yelena, so she had clearly been sent on assignment.
Melina was even more puzzled. Supergirl was so strong, did she really need other teammates?
“We’re waiting for Captain America. Yelena has idolized him since she was little. She’ll be so happy when he shows up,” Natasha said slowly, looking at Melina.
"Captain America is still alive?" Melina stared wide-eyed, looking at me as if to say, "Don't lie to me."
Everyone knows Captain America died in 1945, so where did this Captain America come from?
"He's not dead. He's frozen somewhere in the Arctic ice field. The super soldier serum has reduced his metabolism to its lowest point, so all we need to do is find someone to thaw him."
Natasha remained expressionless and simply recounted the information she had heard from Tony Stark.
Everything else was easy, but this was the only thing she couldn't understand. It didn't seem like intelligence at all; it was more like prophecy.
But considering the advanced technology Tony Stark possessed, she didn't ask any more questions, since she would know the result soon anyway.
"Then we need to hurry, Yelena's graduation exam is coming up soon." Melina glanced at Natasha with surprise, but didn't ask any more questions. She nodded and directly revealed the key information.
Natasha's face instantly darkened; she couldn't forget the brutal graduation exam in the Red Room.
Drekoff abandoned 20 girls in a desolate place, gave each of them only enough supplies, and let them kill each other. Before graduation, he removed their uteruses and fallopian tubes.
She didn't want Yelena to go through these things.
Melina felt a pang of bitterness as she recalled her days in the Red House, the time she was trained and manipulated, like a nightmare from which she could never wake up.
Although many years have passed since I left, those memories still linger with me.
Now, the appearance of Supergirl and the upcoming destruction of the Red House have left her with mixed feelings.
On the one hand, she longed to do something for the girls still trapped in the red house, but on the other hand, she was afraid of getting involved in danger again.
But seeing Natasha's determined eyes and Alexei's simple yet sincere appearance, a surge of courage gradually welled up within her.
Of course, most importantly, this time Drekoff has really messed up!
Or rather, this seemingly indestructible iron plate came to us on its own.
Having caught Supergirl's attention, Drekoff's luck has become extremely bad.
Natasha stood to the side, watching Alexei and Melina, her thoughts drifting away.
She recalled the hardships she and Yelena endured in the Red House; every training session, every injury, was like a scar etched into her heart.
Her hatred for Drekoff was like a burning flame that never went out.
In this operation, she was determined to make the Red House pay for everything it had done and to rescue Yelena and the other sisters.
As for Alexei, although she verbally expressed her disdain, deep down she also harbored a complex mix of emotions.
After all, they had a period of pretending to be a family, and those memories, though containing elements of falsehood, were not entirely painful.
Lu Yunmeng sat quietly on the sofa, observing everyone's reactions.
She knew the operation wouldn't be difficult, but Drekoff was no pushover; he was cunning and ruthless.
Natasha failed to kill Drekoff in the first place largely because of his keen sense of danger and his preparation of a double in advance.
The wait was agonizing, until the phone suddenly rang...
Chapter 46 The Thawed Popsicle
"Hey Lu, guess what I found?" Tony's eager voice came through the phone as soon as it connected, his tone filled with barely concealed excitement.
"A vibranium shield with a five-pointed star printed on it?" Lu Yunmeng slightly raised her eyelids, sat up from the sofa, and asked in a relaxed tone with a smile on her lips.
"Come on! Lu, you ruined the whole surprise!" Tony was very annoyed, raising his voice eight octaves and his tone was full of obvious complaints.
"Okay, it's my fault. I'll treat you to hot pot next time." Lu Yunmeng shook her head with a smile, her tone reassuring.
"Okay, I want the Sichuan peppercorn broth, with extra fresh duck blood and lotus root." Tony's tone immediately softened, even carrying a hint of anticipation.
Since trying authentic Sichuan hot pot at Lu Yunmeng's house, hot pot has firmly become Tony's second favorite food, second only to cheeseburgers.
“We dug up an old popsicle, a Captain America frozen in ice, plus a shield.” Tony’s tone was tinged with a hint of mockery, even a touch of sarcasm. “Fortunately, that old Steve Rogers is probably still alive. He truly lives up to his reputation as a super soldier created by the Super Soldier Serum.”
"Alright Tony, although Howard said a lot of good things about Steve, you're actually very good too." Lu Yunmeng's lips curled up, her tone slightly teasing.
“No, I’m better!” Tony immediately denied, but quickly realized something was wrong. “Wait, Lu, how did you guess that my father said something good about Popsicle?”
"Only children would use the method of belittling others to elevate themselves, haha, Tony, Captain America didn't provoke you." Lu Yunmeng laughed, revealing two rows of white teeth, her tone tinged with mockery.
“Okay, I admit you’re right.” Tony said, feeling embarrassed, but his tone still held a hint of defiance. “I’ll unfreeze him right now. I want to see if Captain America is really that noble.”
The two ended their communication, and Lu Yunmeng put the specially made phone into her combat uniform pocket.
Finding Captain America was good news for her, and the official annihilation plan in the Red Room could officially begin.
Steve Rogers' life was legendary, his personal character impeccable, and he is the only superhero in the Marvel Universe without a dark side.
He grew from a skinny little guy into a capable Captain America, becoming a pillar of strength that carries the hopes of countless people.
To protect his country, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life, remaining frozen in the ice for decades, missing out on the love of his life.
Honesty, kindness, courage, perseverance, responsibility, sacrifice, and dedication are all embodied in Captain America.
His personality can inspire everyone in battle, strengthening his teammates' resolve. Captain America doesn't possess an aura that allows him to go toe-to-toe with any enemy, strong or weak; rather, he always gives his all, creating miracles, even if those miracles are fleeting.
Super Soldier Serum strengthens a person's genes and body, but it cannot strengthen a person's mind.
Steve Rogers, however, is a man of truly noble character and a strong heart.
Such a person is too perfect, which leads some people to dislike Captain America's character and feel that he is not real enough.
But in this world, he is undoubtedly the best teammate, and the one whose back you can trust.
Lu Yunmeng arrived five years ahead of schedule, found Captain America Steve Rogers, and forcibly changed the timeline.
Although it cannot make up for the regrets, it can help him adapt to modern society more quickly.
Normally, Peggy Carter has eight years left to live, so perhaps Steve could take this opportunity to spend more time with this beloved woman he missed.
"Have you found Captain America?" Natasha leaned closer, her tone tinged with doubt.
“Yes, you shouldn’t regret meeting him.” Lu Yunmeng nodded, her tone carrying a meaningful undertone.
Natasha tilted her head noncommittally; she had heard many stories about Captain America before joining S.H.I.E.L.D.
Younger sister Yelena idolizes Captain America.
Upon hearing this, Alexei, who was standing nearby, immediately became eager to try, and a not-so-wise smile appeared on his face.
A former political adversary, now a staunch defender of the Soviet Union, he longs to be active on the battlefield and clash with Captain America.
Instead of becoming a spy, infiltrating to steal that damn information, and ending up in jail for some unknown reason, a man should fight head-on!
With the help of Dr. Banner and Dr. Ethan, and with the cutting-edge technology possessed by Stark Industries, the work of unfreezing Captain America proceeded smoothly.
However, Tony's actions in the Arctic did not completely escape the notice of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s informants.
Coulson came to him the next day, wanting to find out what Tony had found in the Arctic, but was brushed off with an excuse.
Tony fabricated a story that Stark Industries would establish a high-tech research station in the Arctic, and Coulson had no choice but to go back and report it to Nick Fury.
Lu Yunmeng didn't want S.H.I.E.L.D. to get in touch with Captain America so quickly, or rather, he needed time to adapt to the environment and truly showcase himself on the stage ahead.
It took Steve Rogers just two days for his heart to return to a normal beat.
A week later, in Tony's private medical facility's intensive care unit, Steve slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the crowd standing in front of his bed, he was filled with surprise and doubt. He suddenly sat up and instinctively looked for his shield.
"Wait, Captain, don't get agitated. Don't resort to violence. We can talk things out," Tony said hastily, taking two steps back and waving his hand.
He didn't want to get beaten up; he wasn't wearing his armor yet, and his physical body couldn't beat Captain America, who had been injected with the Super Soldier Serum.
Steve remained expressionless and silent, his muscles tense, his eyes filled with vigilance as he constantly observed his surroundings.
He discovered that the room was filled with high-tech gadgets he didn't recognize; the room's decor was very avant-garde, and he couldn't even name many of the facilities.
This led him to suspect that after his plane crashed into the sea, he had fallen into the hands of Hydra.
After all, in early 1945, World War II was not yet over, and Hydra had not been completely eliminated.
"Hello, Captain, nice to meet you. I'll explain this now, and then you can verify it yourself. Please calm down, okay?" Lu Yunmeng stepped forward and said gently.
Steve stared at the incredibly beautiful young woman in front of him, his fists still clenched, becoming even more wary.
But for some reason, he had a premonition, or perhaps it was instinct, that he was absolutely no match for his opponent.
He looked young, but the heavy aura emanating from him was like a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe!
Steve's body, enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum, was constantly sending warnings, telling him that the girl in front of him was extremely dangerous.
After a long pause, he nodded, still sitting on the hospital bed in a wary posture, ready to strike at any moment.
Lu Yunmeng smiled faintly, and then began to recount the whole story.
In 1945, Captain Rogers piloted a Hydra bomber and crashed it into the Arctic Ocean, completely thwarting Hydra's plot to destroy the city with nuclear weapons.
In the same year, World War II officially ended, with Nazi Germany and Japan defeated and signing an unconditional surrender document.
In 1949, S.H.I.E.L.D. was officially established, with Peggy Carter and Howard Stark as some of its founders, who have remained active in the organization ever since.
During this period, they spent a lot of manpower and resources trying to find Steve Rogers' whereabouts, but ultimately failed.
This resulted in Captain America being frozen and asleep in the ice field for over sixty years, only recently surviving.
