Marvel's female superheroine travels through multiple worlds

When Rogers heard that he had been asleep for over sixty years, he was filled with disbelief. He stood up, wanting to prove that it was a damn hoax, but the modern cityscape outside the window made him fall into complete silence.

"I missed a date." After a long while, Steve said dejectedly, uttering his first words after fully waking up.

He basically believed the facts before him, even though those facts were highly unrealistic.

"It's truly a pity, Captain, but we should look forward, shouldn't we?" Lu Yunmeng said softly, keeping her distance rather than getting closer.

"Thank you for saving me." Steve turned around, intending to give a military salute.

But considering that the people in front of him were not soldiers, he finally changed to bowing slightly and said solemnly.

“Actually, it was Tony Stark who found you and rescued you,” Lu Yunmeng said with a smile, pulling Tony out from behind her.

“His father is Howard Stark, I think you should know him well.” Steve stared blankly at the middle-aged Tony, and indeed saw Howard’s resemblance in the man’s appearance.

"I didn't realize his child was so big already. How is Howard doing?"

My old friend's son looks older than me, which is quite strange.

“My father has been dead for many years,” Tony retorted with a hint of awkwardness but also with pride. “Captain, you just look young, but you’re actually a ninety-year-old guy. I’m just precocious.”

“I’m sorry.” Rogers raised his eyebrows, sensing a strange hostility from his old friend’s son.

However, he was too preoccupied to think about these things.

In these years of slumber, I've missed so much: the war was won, but the familiar faces around me have vanished. Friends have passed away, and my loved one has grown old.

I originally planned to go see Peggy immediately, but when I thought about how my beloved was already over ninety years old, I suddenly felt a strong sense of panic.

Breaking a promise is a terrible thing, and Steve doesn't know how to face the girl he loves.

Nearby, Natasha was exchanging glances with Alexei, her eyes clearly saying, "Can't you look around and stop causing trouble, you idiot?" Alexei was visibly disappointed, but he was obedient enough to have put on his Red Guardian combat suit and come over, knowing that Captain America was about to wake up!

Melina stared at the ceiling, pretending not to see it; anyone could tell how foolish it was to propose a duel at this moment!

“Captain, there’s a purpose to waking you up this time,” Lu Yunmeng said earnestly as she walked over.

“What do you need me to do?” Steve nodded, his expression turning serious as he asked directly.

Finally, we get to the point: he doesn't believe these people dug him out of the Arctic just to take photos and get autographs.

"I originally planned to let you recover for a month, but unfortunately, time waits for no one, and there are some people waiting for you to save them," Lu Yunmeng said solemnly and without any pretense.

Chapter 47 The Raid Begins

Next, Lu Yunmeng elaborated on all the intelligence regarding the Soviet Union's Red House secret service, including its historical development and origins.

These pieces of information are particularly clear in the fragments of her memory.

The Red House's activities are wide-ranging, including assassination, infiltration, intelligence gathering, disrupting financial markets, and controlling certain national officials.

This organization poses a tremendous threat to the world, and its harm is no less than that of the former Hydra!

This is precisely the real reason why this secret intelligence organization must be brought to an end.

“I’m in. The Red Room really needs to be destroyed,” Captain Rogers said firmly after a moment of silence.

Imagine that there might be a group of female agents around him who are highly skilled in combat, assassination, and proficient in various professional technologies. This makes him feel very uncomfortable.

This is completely contrary to the ideals of peace and freedom advocated by Captain America.

Moreover, if no action is taken now, more innocent girls will be forced to join this inhumane organization in the future, which is something Steve absolutely does not want to see.

Didn't he join the army in the first place to defeat Nazi Germany and allow people to live a peaceful and prosperous life?

“Very good, Captain. I’ve prepared a special combat suit for you.” Tony said proudly and bluntly, then clapped his hands. “Jarvis, show it to Captain America.”

“Yes, Sir.” As Jarvis’s AI voice finished speaking, a metal door opened in the wall of the private medical facility’s testing room, and a transparent glass cabinet was pushed out.

Lu Yunmeng glanced at the blue, white, and red clothes in the closet and exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of Tony, the clothes he designs are both beautiful and practical."

This combat suit was made by Tony after she found Captain Rogers. It is made of the same material as the Homelander suit she wears, which is heat-resistant, bulletproof, tough and durable, and allows for a high degree of mobility.

"Oh right, and this shield too." Tony patted his head, lifted the black cloth on the table, revealing the familiar vibranium shield.

“My father made this for you. We dug it out of the iceberg along with you. It should be easy to use.”

Although Tony coveted the vibranium material in the shield, unfortunately, there was too little of it.

Jarvis has not yet scanned for vibranium mines on the African continent. Currently, the Iron Man armor can only use gold-titanium alloy, which cannot compare to vibranium in terms of durability and defense.

“Thanks, Stark.” Steve nodded to Tony in thanks.

He touched the red, white, and blue shield with a five-pointed star printed on it, and seemed to have rediscovered that feeling of excitement.

"What are we waiting for? Let's take action!" Steve's eyes hardened with unwavering determination. His passion for doing what was right never waned!

“Captain, you may need to do some recovery training. After all, your body has just awakened from the freeze, and you may have problems with physical strength.” Natasha frowned and rationally suggested.

"The widows and guards of the Red House are elite, and in some ways they are more difficult to deal with than Nazi German soldiers and Hydra."

Steve thought about it for a moment and realized it made sense.

He has never fought against post-World War II enemies in the 21st century and is unaware of the strength of these adversaries. If what Natasha says is true, then he certainly needs to adapt to the current combat environment.

Over the next three days, Tony opened Stark Industries' training grounds and recruited many elite bodyguards from the security team to spar with Captain America, helping him quickly regain his form.

Natasha also participated, but gave up after a few rounds.

She felt that Steve was too strong, and those grappling and fighting techniques were no match for him.

Moreover, Steve has extremely strong resilience and recovery ability. The Super Soldier Serum gave him a powerful body, and he can recover quickly even after taking several heavy blows.

But as an opponent, Captain America's punches are a nightmare.

Natasha is an elite among Black Widow agents, with resilience and agility far exceeding that of ordinary people.

But during sparring, she was accidentally kicked in the abdomen and almost passed out, even though Steve was holding back.

She believes that Captain America has a natural advantage in assault combat, and that the Black Widows and the Red Room guards should have little chance of posing a threat to him.

Interestingly, Alexei also participated in the sparring session.

He didn't reveal his true identity, but instead fought Steve as a sparring partner, only to get a severe beating and be unable to get up for a long time.

Both were recipients of the Super Soldier Serum, but there was a significant difference between them in terms of combat experience and resilience.

Melina, Tony, and Lu Yunmeng did not participate.

Although the former was also a Black Widow agent, she hadn't been in serious combat for a long time and spent most of her time on research.

Tony knew his own limitations; with his mediocre skills, he could easily knock someone down with a single punch.

As for wearing the Mark armor, he had his own pride and disdained to bully an "old man".

Lu Yunmeng's level is too high; she doesn't need excessive fighting skills at all.

Even without using biomorphic magic, her pure physical power combined with her ghostly speed would be more than enough to overpower everyone present.

Perhaps only an enraged Hulk could put up a fight with her.

Meanwhile, Jarvis has been using satellite surveillance and signal locators attached to the Red House air fortress to pinpoint Yelena's location and prevent any accidents.

Finally, three days later.

“Sir, I overheard that Miss Yelena is about to take her Red Room graduation exam, and they are planning to send a group of Black Widow trainees to the Siberian ice fields.” Jarvis’s voice suddenly came through the communication headset.

“Lu, we have to take action.” Tony said seriously after checking the satellite feedback.

"Captain Rogers, are you ready?" Lu Yunmeng nodded expressionlessly and asked Steve, who was wiping sweat on the training field.

Captain America's massive muscles exuded explosive power, standing out conspicuously under the lights, even drawing a second glance from Natasha.

Melina stared wide-eyed, much to Alexei's dismay.

"What? I was just looking." Melina raised her eyebrows, shrugged, and said irritably.

"Hmph, I was just as muscular back in the day..." Alexei muttered to himself, looking down at his big belly, and finally decided that he had to lose weight in the future!

“I’m always ready!” Steve replied resolutely, tossing the towel into the basket.

Even if he has just woken up from being frozen and his body has not yet recovered to its peak condition, he can still spend an entire day dealing with these criminals!

Tony assembled the MK4 Iron Man armor and replaced it with the fire suppression version of the external parts pack.

Natasha donned the Widows Bite, a high-tech glove that can fire tear gas, electric shocks, and miniature bombs.

She was also equipped with a pair of NAA Guardian pistols, small, metallic silver .38 caliber, portable and easy to conceal, with strong penetrating power, designed for use by female agents.

Melina and Natasha have similar equipment, the difference being that she uses a stun gun.

The plan was to fool the guards at the Red House and enter the air fortress, so her equipment was relatively simple. With so many superheroes around, there was no need for anything more.

All she needs to do is confirm Drekoff's identity and location, and then work with Iron Man to hack into the air fortress's central control system from the outside.

Alexei asked Tony for a large-caliber shotgun and a shield made of gold-titanium alloy. Although he lost the hand-to-hand combat, he was determined to get his revenge in this operation.

Once everyone was ready, they boarded the new Quinjet fighter developed by Stark Weapons Research Department.

Since armed helicopters could not reach the flight altitude of the Red House air fortress, and fighter jets could not transport personnel, Tony used this latest military product designed to "fleece the American government."

The Quinjet was actually inspired by a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft called the Harrier in Britain in the 60s.

In the 80s, S.H.I.E.L.D., NASA, and the U.S. Air Force jointly studied the salvaged Cosmic Cube, thus launching the "Project Pegasus" joint project.

Howard Stark, as one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., also participated in the research project. The Quinjet was one of the technological products of this project.

Although Howard died in 1995, the technological legacy he left behind at Stark Industries is undeniable.

With his genius, Tony made comprehensive upgrades to the earliest prototype Quinjet fighter.

Thus, this groundbreaking multi-functional fighter jet was born.

Although similar to the Quinjet used by S.H.I.E.L.D., their tech tree development paths are somewhat different.

Project Pegasus focused more on powerful firepower and combat capabilities, while Stark Industries focused on the functionality of its fighter jets.

After announcing the closure of its weapons development division, Tony Stark split up Stark Industries' military division and sold it to other defense industry giants.

The warehouse did have a considerable stock of these special fighter jets.

Because the Tesseract is in the possession of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Quinjet is currently facing a technological bottleneck.

Lacking key breakthroughs and improvements, its actual combat capability is not as good as that of the F-22 Raptor and F-35.

However, using it to transport special teams to raid the Red House is clearly a good option.
