Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?

"Are you really not going to continue being Captain America? I know it may be... abrupt to ask, but, you see, you represent the American spirit after all, Steve." Tony said to Rogers, who was sitting opposite him.

said.

They were having a party on the first floor of Stark Tower, and everyone was enjoying the party, even Bucky. He was drinking alone, but Steve knew he was in a good mood, from the trembling expression on his face.

You can see the feet.

Except Steve.

He and Tony were having a conversation.

"No, Tony. I really don't plan to be Captain America anymore."

"Okay, I know I can't persuade you...but I still want to know, why?"

Steve Rogers' blue eyes looked at Tony Stark, or to be precise, they looked at the night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window behind him. People were celebrating with fireworks. That scene was reflected in his pupils,

Steve closed his eyes and smiled and said: "Captain America lived in an era that never existed, Tony. At that time, the government would not hire crazy people in fancy clothes to deal with their own people."

"In those days, everyone was well-behaved. So was the world. Even the wicked were honorable. I wore our flag as a uniform, and I wore it as a proof of my love for this country. But

You know what, Tony? I discovered that this country didn't love me. Or rather, it wasn't the America I knew anymore."

"I don't know how to express my feelings. For a while, I thought, even if she has changed, I will continue to be Captain America, even if some people are using her name to do irresponsible things under that flag.

The same goes for suing people."

Tony pursed his lips tightly.

Steve didn't stop, he continued: "Let me tell you something else, Tony, something I've never mentioned to anyone else."

"We all know that it was Freddie Coulson who found me, right?" Steve's words made Tony's heart tremble, as if the heart was not in his chest.

, but suspended 10,000 meters in the air. His face turned pale, and Tony realized that what Steve was going to say next might shake some things.

"That was a mission. I was knocked unconscious. Hydra wanted to instigate me. They gave me a piece of evidence."

"I still remember how that military briefing was written."

"The briefing said this: 'We have discovered Captain America, but after discussion, we have decided not to rescue him. I don't understand this personally, but our staff and the president believe that if World War II is to be ended quickly, then

Air raids on Guangdao and Changqi are inevitable. As a warrior with good conduct, irreproachable morals, and powerful strength, will Captain America stand in the way of this?'"

"'We don't know, no one knows. But staff believe that by prioritizing morality over his military mission, he might be a hindrance to the country. Is the government correct in making this assumption and viewing our hero as a liability?

I don't understand it, but I will carry it out, even if my conscience is haunted by it every day for the rest of my life. I'm a soldier.'"

"They didn't know if I would do this. But they didn't give me a chance to prove it. They just threw me in the ice sea...waiting to die."

Steve's expression did not change, he did not even open his eyes, and there was still a faint smile on his face, as if he was telling the story of another person.

"I still remember a time when it was easy to be proud of 'this' country. When 'this' country could still celebrate victory with its loyal soldiers, when 'this' country was still the homeland that I remembered.

"

"But times are changing, aren't they, Tony? I'm an old man. I find that the struggle becomes darker and the war becomes meaner. When I walk to the history section of the library and look through our history books,

When I saw the unjust wars they waged...I understood one thing."

"Those who think they are noble, think they have sacred reasons, think their ideals can carry power, heavy responsibility, and responsibility, and make us feel ashamed, but what they do is even more despicable and shameful, and can make the most cruel murderer pale in comparison. But

At that time, I still believed in one thing."

"I know that this government is bound to make mistakes. We are just a complex system run by human beings. I am still proud of her and I still love her."

"Until the death of Jack Richard."

"That was the first time I made up my mind and decided to thoroughly examine what was wrong with our country that allowed them to kill such a soldier who had served the country for many years. Then, I discovered that this place was no longer the one I knew back then.

That’s America.”

"I have fought my whole life to be a symbol, a symbol of what is right. A symbol of all that is right about this country, a symbol of what I love. And now they are trying to turn that symbol into a convenient tool.

.To serve the political purposes of this group or that group, I can see their endless chatter on the news and media..."

"At that time, I understood that Captain America should be dead. In other words, he had died long ago. He had already died long before the American spirit he represented became something dirty and filthy. Talking to you now

He's just a regular guy, just Steve Rogers."

Tony grabbed the armrests of his chair and sank into the large armchair. The sound of fireworks outside was still loud, and the laughter of Sam and Rhodes in the hall seemed so harmonious, but it was Steve sitting opposite him.

husband Rogers, but he was crying with his eyes closed.

Tony opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but when the words really popped out of his throat, he realized that his voice was terribly hoarse: "I understand, Steve. I understand you."

"No, Tony. You can't really understand me. No one in the world can fully empathize with another person. I just want to say..."

He opened his eyes, with unabashed fighting spirit and fire in his eyes: "If she goes the wrong way, then I will pull her back. I will drive away all those who do ugly things in her name."

Go out, I want them to forever repent for the crimes they committed... At least our children will no longer be ashamed to find that their parents are a group of people with thicker skin than the city wall and standing on their hands when they look at the history books in the future.

Bloody bastard."

Tony looked at him and asked: "Are you sure you want to do this? They will erase any of your achievements and make you a wanted criminal and a traitor."

"Aren't they already doing this?" Steve smiled indifferently. He took out a red booklet from his arms and threw it to Tony: "Read it when you have time, Tony. Now, I want

Went to the party."

He got up and left, and Tony sat alone in this room. He touched his bald head and looked at the book thoughtfully.
