Chapter 35: Captain America

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was past eight o’clock in the evening when Wesley returned home. He had spent six hours on the plane today and was really too sad. He washed up and lay on the bed, not wanting to move.

“Apple, training starts tomorrow, and it’s up to you again. How much information have you compiled now?” Wesley lay on the bed and communicated with Apple.

“Two-millionth. Are you satisfied with this progress?” Apple asked.

“Well, it seems that I have to get in touch with the Tesseract as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won’t be able to see you upgrade in my life.”

“The bio-computer is not powered enough. I also have to ensure that you are healthy and strong.”

“I know. Go to the New York Division of S.H.I.E.L.D. tomorrow. There might be something good there, but would it be better if I got Stark’s new elemental reactor?”

“According to the movie, the Tesseract and the New Element Reactor are not on the same level of energy, but it’s not clear which is more suitable for you. It requires physical contact.”

“One step at a time.” Wesley fell asleep. Flying was really tiring.

The next morning, Wesley got up in high spirits again. He was going to the New York branch of SHIELD today. This was something he had been looking forward to for a long time. He wanted to complete his training as soon as possible and raise his agent level so that he would have a chance to touch the Tesseract.

“Morning, I’m going to the New York branch of SHIELD today.” Wesley greeted his father, Carlos.

“Not bad. Study it well. After all, agents and assassins are different.”

“Well, florist, are you going to hire someone?” Wesley asked after breakfast.

“Hire one so we have time to go fishing, right?” Carlos has been obsessed with it.

“Good, let’s buy a small yacht when we have time.” Wesley finished his breakfast and went to the armory to store his two pistols. Then he changed into the SHIELD pistol and left the house in a slim suit. This time he drove a sports car and tried to drive his own car without action. After all, he had to drive it after buying it, otherwise it would lose its meaning.

The south side of Central Apartment was not far from Times Square. Along Fifth Street, they turned right at 42nd Street. The Audi R8 could not exert its strong forward momentum at all. It kept stopping along the way.

“Whew, sports cars are just for show. They are basically useless in New York.” Wesley and Apple chatted.

“That’s inevitable,” Apple responded monotonously as usual. Wesley thought Apple was suitable for cold humor.

The sports car arrived at its destination. There was a building here, and the people coming and going were all wearing professional clothes. It was really impossible to tell what this place was for. Such a prosperous place was actually a branch of an agent organization. It was really unimaginable.

He got out of the car, straightened his suit, and walked toward the front door. But as he approached the front door, there was a disturbance inside. Wesley was stunned. Isn’t this an agent organization? Why is there chaos?

A blond man wearing a white T-shirt with an eagle logo on his chest, mustard-colored pants, and tan army boots. Wesley thought he looked familiar, but before he could react, the man was rushing toward him, or maybe he was blocking his way.

Thump, thump, thump. His heart began to race, and Wesley saw the other party slow down. Then, many people appeared behind the blond man. They were chasing him.

The blond man saw Wesley blocking the way and reached out with both hands to push him away. Wesley moved at that moment and grabbed one of the man’s arms. With his waist, he put the arm over his shoulder and turned around. He did a clean over-the-shoulder throw.

Bang! The other party fell heavily to the ground, then turned his arm and pressed one knee on his back.

The pursuers were all stunned as they watched Wesley’s high-speed movements. Then several black SUVs rushed out from both sides of the street and stopped beside him.

“Wesley?” came Nick Fury’s voice, his tone full of doubt.

“Director, is this a prisoner? Why did you come out directly? Your work efficiency is really not good. By the way, I don’t think I have handcuffs yet.” Wesley said to suppress the people below, but the force below began to strengthen, and Wesley was actually struggling.

“Okay, you did good. But let him go first. He’s not a prisoner,” Nick Fury said.

Puzzled, Wesley let go of the blond man. The man stood up and glared at Wesley. Wesley looked back at him, but the more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. “Apple, who is he? Why does he look so familiar?”

“Captain America!” Apple only gave Wesley four words. Wesley was depressed. This was the last plot of Captain America’s first movie. He didn’t expect to catch it. It was really right on time. Didn’t they just find him yesterday? Was he thawed last night?

However, since he was being glared at, he could not be afraid. “What are you looking at? You wanted to push me. I was just defending myself. Is there a problem?” Captain America ignored him and looked at his surroundings.

“Take it easy, GI!” Nick Fury spoke up. “Look, I’m really sorry about that show, but we thought it would be better to let you take it slowly.”

“Accept what?” Captain America asked suspiciously.

“You have been sleeping, Captain, for about seventy years.” Nick Fury’s words filled Captain America with shock, and then he began to look around again.

‘You’re all right, aren’t you?’

“Yes, it’s okay. It’s just… I missed an appointment.” The words were full of sadness. It was indeed a sad story. Two people who loved each other missed seventy years. Wesley felt sorry for this guy.

“Yes, I know. She’s still alive. If you’re ready, you can go and see her. Now let’s go in. There are too many people here. You have a lot to learn again. Wesley, come with us. Your class starts today.” Everyone walked back into the building.

A beautiful woman appeared. “Wesley, this is Maria Hill. She will take you to complete your registration and arrange your training. The time is about three months. You can come here every day. Take two days off a week. Everything you encounter is fixed, unless you are on a mission. Moreover, you have already completed a mission well. It will be recorded.”

The Maria Hill character played by Corbie Smolders was beautiful, or so Wesley had thought in his previous life. She was much prettier than the Black Widow character played by Scarlett Johansson. At the very least, her nose did not take up as much of her face.
