"I'll come with you. Is Bucky coming too?" Logan's eyes twitched after hearing Steve Rogers' decision. He remembered Peggy Carter from his youth and couldn't help but ask, "Oh, and Bucky? Why isn't he here?"
"Bucky is trying to atone for his sins. He hasn't been able to sleep for the past few nights. He says that as soon as he closes his eyes, he sees himself coming to take the lives of people who died tragically at his own hands..." Steve Rogers sighed softly, "But this is something only he can handle, so he goes out every day to punish criminals..."
"No wonder so many criminals have been brought to police stations lately! It must be Bucky!" Jack's mouth twitched as he looked at Reese Fisk and Zhong Qiang beside him, and he said, "It seems even our combined efficiency can't compare to Bucky's solo success. He's accomplished so much in the last two days..."
"It's time we did more. After all, Alarm Clock started teaching us martial arts related to inner energy, and our power has increased. We don't need to do small, insignificant movements anymore!" Reese Fisk's eyes gleamed, and he spoke seriously, as if he had made a decision.
"Then, the martial arts gym's affairs are up to you. Don't let anything happen to the boss!" Logan said, glancing at the Swallowtail Trio, the Spider Trio, Bruce Banner, and his wife. "However, we have to be back in two days. By then, the boss probably won't be awake..."
"Don't worry, Hulk said no one can harm the Master as long as he's by his side!" Bruce Banner said proudly, a confident smile on his face.
"Really? What if Captain Marvel turns out to be a character as powerful as Carol?" Logan suddenly had an idea and asked Bruce Banner sarcastically.
"Cough, cough, Hulk said that a character resembling an insect isn't the type Hulk can handle. After all, there aren't many characters like that, right?" Bruce Banner coughed awkwardly twice and shrugged his shoulders.
"Alright, Logan, let's go!" Steve Rogers nodded. He wasn't in the mood to joke around with Bruce Banner and the others right now. He just urgently wanted to see Peggy Carter.
"Alright, alright, let's go. How about we borrow a plane from Tony Stark? You know how to fly, after all..." Logan nodded. He understood Steve Rogers' impatience and offered the suggestion.
"Hmm, this should be faster. Let's go to Stark Industries!" Steve Rogers thought for a moment. This was indeed much faster than buying a ticket and waiting for a plane, so he agreed.
However, Steve Rogers and Logan didn't see Tony Stark at Stark Industries because he was already busy researching vibranium containers and had no time for anything else.
Luckily, Pepper was still at Stark Industries. Naturally, Pepper would be lenient with Captain America and Wolverine, the two Avengers. After all, Steve Rogers and Logan were now Tony Stark's teammates, so doing them such a small favor was perfectly fine.
So Steve Rogers and Logan flew to Paris, France, on a private Stark Industries jet, to the apartment at the address Dummy had given them.
"Apartment number 208..." Steve Rogers looked at the apartment building in front of him with a somewhat uneasy expression, and couldn't speak for a long time.
"What? Our always fearless and never-backing Captain America is scared now?" Logan looked at Steve Rogers with a smile and a teasing expression, helping to ease Steve Rogers' tension.
"Yes, I didn't expect to be this nervous..." Steve Rogers nodded with a bitter smile, then took a deep breath and went to the door of apartment number 208 and knocked.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Who is it?" An old man's voice was heard, and Steve Rogers and Logan paused. There was a question they had never considered before:
The possibility that Peggy Carter may have married someone else.
Ultimately, after Steve Rogers' sacrifice, Logan once tried to flirt with Peggy Carter, but was rejected by her. Judging by Peggy Carter's reaction at the time, he shouldn't be looking for anyone else in his life.
"Could Dummy have been wrong?" Logan, carefully choosing his words, unconsciously glanced at Steve Rogers.
"Don't worry, Logan, whatever the situation, I can accept..." Steve Rogers' expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered. With a forced smile, he said to Logan:
The door creaked open, and an elderly but sprightly-looking man stepped inside. A momentary look of surprise flickered in his eyes when he saw Steve Rogers. But upon seeing Logan, he involuntarily blinked, then quickly concealed his surprise.
"Do you know us?" Logan carefully noticed the change in the old man's expression. He frowned and asked the old man.
"Do I know you? How could I not know you?" The old man smiled and nodded gently, "Steve and Logan, right? Have you come to see Peggy? Peggy! Come and see who's here to visit you!"
"Who is it, Steve... Steve!" Old Peggy Carter, leaning on her cane, came out of the room and her eyes widened in surprise when she suddenly saw young Steve Rogers. Then she noticed Logan next to Steve Rogers, "Logan? You... you two are still the same. I never thought I'd see you two again..."
Tears streamed down Peggy Carter's face as she spoke. The elderly man beside her immediately rushed to offer support and comforted her desperately: "Don't cry. You're not well. Crying won't make you sick. Let's sit down and talk..."
"..." Steve Rogers stopped in his tracks. He had just seen Peggy Carter crying and had wanted to go ahead to comfort her, but the old man had arrived before him. Steve Rogers probably realized that the old man had been there to keep Peggy Carter company throughout all the years he had been away, filling her void.
"Steve, how many years has it been since our last meeting? After you defeated Hydra and got lost at sea, I tried very hard to find you, but the manpower and resources at the time weren't enough. Furthermore, I was under pressure in many ways..." After sitting down, Peggy Carter excitedly took Steve Rogers' arm and said, "You don't blame me, do you?"
