Here's an extra chapter for you—enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the first time, S.H.I.E.L.D.…
Director Nick Fury was the first to explode.
He never in his wildest dreams expected something like this.
A national hero.
A historical legend.
This is what the people believe in.
And yet… Captain Steve Rogers actually said, "Long live Hydra!"???
What on earth is going on?
Could it be…
Steve is actually a Hydra captain???
Asgard.
Loki was completely stunned.
He had assumed that Fury's enemies came from within S.H.I.E.L.D.,
but he never imagined the threat was… internal.
Who would have thought Captain America was a member of Hydra?
What is this called?
A direct attack!
He had assumed it would be a conspiracy—
mysterious, elegant, elusive.
But what he saw felt like a mudslide explosion.
Loki was utterly dumbfounded.
It's ruined.
I'm not the God of Mischief.
You are, Steve.
You are the true God of Mischief!!!
Stark Tower.
Tony, Happy, and the others were left speechless.
They never expected this.
Captain America… you, the broad-shouldered, strong-jawed man…
You betrayed the revolution too???
Happy couldn't help but sigh.
"Wait, Tony. Your father, Howard, wasn't he friends with Captain America? He even made him a shield."
"Could your father Howard be a member of Hydra too?!"
Tony was completely shocked.
Good heavens.
All this time, I've been fighting the counter-revolutionaries…
And now…
You suddenly tell me…
I'm the counter-revolutionary organization myself!
Then why am I still alive!!!
Behind the military camp.
Bucky whispered softly:
"At first, I thought I'd been brainwashed into becoming Hydra's Winter Soldier, and that alone was explosive enough."
"Steve… you're a good man. But I never expected… you joined Hydra too!!!"
Howard and Miss Carter glared at Steve with hostile eyes.
They were thinking:
If Steve will eventually join Hydra… no, maybe he already has…
Should we just execute him here and now?
Captain America saw in their eyes that they would kill him on the spot if they could.
He quickly tried to explain:
"Wait, I think I can still fix this!"
"Look!"
"In this video, my lip movements don't match!"
"So, I think it's the screen's fault again!!!"
"He's defaming me!"
"He's defaming me!!!"
After saying this, the screen seemed to grow tired of the joke.
New words appeared on the screen:
[Cough, sorry.]
[The video is wrong again.]
[The next video is the correct one.]
[Inside the elevator]
Facing the crowd, Captain America said:
"Before we start, does anyone want to back out?"
Shield.
Director Nick Fury breathed a sigh of relief.
Phew.
Luckily, this was just another screen trick.
A bit over the top, yes, but…
Otherwise, if Steve really was Hydra's captain…
that would have been… interesting.
Behind the military camp.
Captain America noticed the wary gazes around him gradually vanish.
He exhaled.
Yes.
Luckily, I'm innocent.
Why does my body feel cold?
Why do I have this premonition?
Will this broken screen still play my dubbed videos correctly in the future?
On the screen.
The video continued.
[Captain America's voice suddenly lowered.]
[The large, messy-haired man in front spins around, striking Captain America with a stun baton!]
Captain America quickly sidestepped the attack.
[Behind him, a bald, muscular man saw an opening and grabbed Captain America by the throat with his right hand.]
[At the same time, several others took his shield away before he could react.]
[Then, the previously failed large dark-haired man struck Captain America again with the stun baton!]
[Zap—]
[Captain America winced from the electric shock, his expression fierce.]
[The muscular bald man took advantage again, attaching magnetic handcuffs to Captain America's right hand, attempting to immobilize him.]
Captain America felt troubled.
His opponents' control was too strict.
[If the magnetic cuffs attached to the wall, he would be in serious trouble.]
So, he crouched quickly, kicking the knee of a man in front to unbalance him.
Then he jabbed the throat of the man who had just taken his shield with the heel of his right hand.
He elbowed a black man on his left.
[His right fist struck the slick-haired man charging at him again.]
He elbowed the same man once more.
Captain America lost count of how many times he elbowed the enemies around him.
But he found it extremely effective.
After this counterattack, his space to maneuver expanded greatly, increasing his chance of escape.
But the enemies weren't helpless.
[When Captain America threw the muscular bald man behind him with a suplex, Rumlow took the opportunity to attack. His right hand was dangling weakly.]
Rumlow delivered a front kick, smashing Captain America's right hand against the wall.
[Because of the magnetic cuffs, his newly gained space shrank dramatically.]
Captain America knew if he didn't remove the cuffs soon, he would be trapped.
As he struggled with the cuffs, Rumlow stepped forward, striking again with the stun baton.
[Captain America closed the distance and elbowed Rumlow back.]
[Indeed, elbow strikes were the correct choice!]
[Finally, one by one, the enemies fell.]
Captain America seized the moment, jumped onto the elevator wall, planted his foot, leaned back, and crashed down.
[He executed a flawless backflip, then removed the magnetic handcuffs from the wall.]
[Now, a bloodied Rumlow stood, keeping some distance, attempting to strike again with his electric baton.]
Captain America had already read Rumlow's fighting patterns and tricks.
So…
He stepped forward, closing the distance.
[After blocking Rumlow's twin stun batons, Captain America threw him into the elevator ceiling, causing him to fall back to the ground, completely neutralized.]
Stark Tower.
Colonel Rhodes watched Captain America, trapped in a cramped, chaotic elevator,
taking on more than a dozen enemies.
He couldn't help but admire him.
"Captain America deserves this! He has immense practical experience!
Even in such dire circumstances, he can defeat his foes.
Captain America is incredible! (voice choked—)"
At this moment, Tony picked up a wine glass from the table.
He was thinking of another question:
In the future…
If I find Bucky…
and want to fight him, Captain America, as Bucky's older brother figure, would fight him too.
I don't know…
After I put on the Iron Man armor,
can I fight both at the same time?
Defeat Captain America and Bucky?
Tony watched Captain America fight desperately in the elevator, like a war god trapped in that tight space, and fell into deep thought.
