72. Bucky's Death, the Regret of That Dance in the Cap-Peggy Romance... "Hiss! He truly lives up to being my idol!"
At this mont,
in Wakanda,
after Captain Arica was released,
Spider-Man Peter Parker exclaid.
His face was filled with excitent and shock.
Although previous videos had revealed that he might fight Captain Arica in the future,
that didn't stop him from admiring Captain Arica.
As for what he admired,
that was naturally Captain Arica's noble character and spirit.
However, what was learned from books
and what was seen in videos still had many differences.
Because in books, there were only Captain Arica's military achievents,
but it never ntioned that before receiving the serum, he was a scrawny youth who had been rejected countless tis...!
Nor did it ntion that he was specially recruited and was awe-inspiring in the grenade test...!
Ultimately, he qualified as a Super Soldier.
After watching this scene,
not just Peter Parker,
Banner, T'Challa, Wanda, and Tony were all impressed by his spirit.
Then they shifted their gaze from the Dinsional Platform to Steve, who had just been released.
They apologized one by one.
But Steve didn't speak.
His gaze seed to linger on the fleeting image of the woman in the video... Because of the Dinsional Platform's appearance,
he was found.
But his heart could never forget the dance they had promised... Is she doing well now...?
Just then,
Steve's pupils dilated rapidly,
his breathing quickened.
His heart pounded non-stop.
He saw a scene of him and Peggy appear in the video... "Peggy...!"
Still so beautiful,
still so graceful and generous.
Just as he was lost in thought,
Zeaser's voice echoed in the video...!
"Steve succeeded, beca Captain Arica, achieved outstanding military rits, and was adorned with countless honors.
He was like a spiritual pillar for people, giving them hope that the war would be won."
"But while he was soaring, weren't there also setbacks and regrets?"
As Zeaser's voice faded,
the background music suddenly turned lancholic.
The shift was too sudden.
Just when countless people thought Captain Arica would have an easy, triumphant journey from then on,
Zeaser's voice was powerful and resonant, as if it had a penetrating effect, directly striking the hearts of countless people.
Yes.
Even soone as strong as Thor
grew through continuous loss.
So how could Captain Arica not experience setbacks and regrets?
Moreover, they also saw Steve and a beautiful woman riding in a car together in the video, looking very compatible... Whoosh—
The car drove down the street.
In the video,
Steve seed a little flustered.
It was clear he rarely sat in the sa vehicle with a lady.
However, he did find a topic.
Pointing out the window, he said:
"I know this neighborhood very well.
I've been beaten in that alley, and in that parking lot, and behind that restaurant."
When Steve said these words,
those watching the video wanted to laugh but also felt a pang of sadness.
They wanted to laugh because Steve seed very nervous, like he had t the girl he liked and was a bit flustered.
And they felt sad because they could imagine every ti Steve was beaten, he would get up again and again, and then say, "I can do this all day."
"Then why didn't you run away?"
Beside him,
Peggy asked.
This is also what countless people want to ask.
Yes.
Why didn't he run away?
Steve shook his head, sighed, and replied:
"If you run once, you'll keep running. But if you stand up and fight back, there's always a chance, right?"
Hiss!
Countless people finally heard Steve himself explain why he chose to fight back instead of running away.
Yes.
If he had the experience of running away once...
Then in the future, when he encounters difficulties and disasters, he might run away again, right?
But standing up and fighting back represents hope!
Countless people were deeply touched.
So who didn't understand Steve also nodded repeatedly.
Just this short video...
They had already seen Steve's rare qualities and his insights into life.
Very good, very impressive, truly a Superheroes!
However... in terms of love, he's far behind compared to a hero... The video continued.
Steve awkwardly complinted Peggy.
Apparently, she had already seen through him.
She retorted:
"You don't know how to flirt with won, do you?"
!!
Hearing Peggy's words...
People watching the video burst into laughter.
Although Steve's character was noble and fearless...
In terms of love, he seed a bit endearingly clumsy.
It also brought them a mont of joy.
So they all wondered, what regrets could Steve and Peggy have?
The video continued.
Steve took a deep breath, controlling his emotions.
"This is probably the longest conversation I've had with a woman. They wouldn't want to dance with such a scrawny man."
"You must have danced before, right?"
"I never dared to ask a woman to dance, and after all these years, I don't care anymore. I guess I'm waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
"The right dance partner."
When Steve said this...
The background music, a lyrical piece from the last century, began to play. It was soft yet had a sense of age, like a babbling brook in the forest, refreshing and incredibly relaxing.
People watching the video were filled with anticipation.
They hoped Steve and Peggy could dance together.
After all, the couples in so many previous videos hadn't really had sweet monts; instead, there was more heartbreak.
So they yearned for this kind of love and wanted to see the love stories of Superheroes.
The scene shifted.
Captain Arica openly defied a Joker-like order and went to rescue his good brother Bucky.
He then arrived at the place where the soldiers were drinking.
Just then...
Peggy, in a stunning red bodycon dress, walked in.
Beautiful, elegant, and gracefully poised, she imdiately attracted countless soldiers.
Peggy walked up to Steve.
After saying a few words, she continued:
"Maybe after the war, I'll go dancing."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Just as Peggy looked directly at Steve...
Bucky, standing nearby, spoke.
He thought he might get to dance with Peggy.
But he didn't expect Peggy's gaze to never leave Steve.
Instead, she replied:
"The right dance partner."
After speaking...
Peggy left.
And upon hearing this reply...
The lyrical music made countless people's skin crawl.
They didn't expect Peggy to still rember what Steve had said earlier!
"Hiss hiss hiss!! It's getting intense! It seems like they both have each other in their eyes!"
"Hahaha, this couple is so well-matched! I love them!"
"But this Bucky really has no situational awareness, it's so funny!"
"Exactly, exactly! They're in their own little world, why are you butting in?!"
People discussed.
Laughing happily...
They eagerly anticipated when they would finally get to dance...
However, just then...
Zeaser's voice rang out.
Her sigh seed to carry a hint of regret... "Once, he dared not invite any woman to dance, knowing he wasn't worthy. His eyes held only firm conviction and distant dreams. But until his dream was realized, a graceful figure in a red dress appeared in his eyes, and he promised her a dance..."
"But when the difficult choices between upholding justice and love were laid before him, what would he ultimately choose...?"
The background music suddenly beca urgent, the cold wind howled, emitting a piercing sound!
It was as if he was floating in the clouds, then suddenly lost weight and plumted from them!
When Zeaser finished speaking...
Countless people's hearts also felt a weightless suspension, beating wildly.
Clang!
The sound of tal breaking rang out!
Countless people's hearts trembled violently once more!
Their nerves also tightened at this mont.
They wanted to know what had happened... The video continued.
The scene shifted.
The sea wind howled.
Icebergs stretched endlessly.
A high-speed train roared through the icy landscape.
The cara zood in.
Steve's friend, Bucky, was outside the train, gripping a railing with his bare hands.
Below him was a bottomless abyss...!
!!
Thump, thump, thump!
Countless people were just anticipating Steve and Peggy's dance, and so were even teasing Bucky.
But the twist ca too fast.
Suddenly, they were in this desperate situation.
It caught countless people off guard.
They stared intently at the screen...
Hoping Steve could save Bucky... The video continued.
Steve threw down his shield.
He also went outside the train.
One step, two steps, three steps... Just as he reached out his hand, about to grab Bucky...
Clang!
The sound of tal breaking rang out again!
The sound wasn't loud, but it was incredibly jarring, like lightning striking the heads of countless people watching the video!
Bucky fell vertically, his wails filled with despair and unwillingness!
His figure on the screen grew smaller and smaller until he disappeared... Sadness.
Despair.
Steve burst into tears.
And countless people saw this scene...
Their hearts were filled with sorrow... They had never seen Captain Arica, no matter how many tis he was knocked down, shed a single tear.
But at this mont, tears stread out, making countless people feel sad and cry along with him... They knew.
Before Steve beca Captain Arica...
Bucky, his good brother, had always been by his side, supporting him and protecting him.
And now, such a good brother died right in front of him.
How could he not be sad, how could he not be heartbroken, how could he not feel guilty?
At this mont, the scene shifted.
Steve was drinking alone, drowning his sorrows.
However, because he had been injected with the serum, he couldn't get drunk.
This only made him sadder, unable to forget the scene of Bucky dying in front of him... He blad himself, pushing all the responsibility onto himself!
If he hadn't taken him into battle, if he had been able to reach out faster, then Bucky wouldn't have died!
"Do you believe in your friend? Do you respect him? Then stop blaming yourself, that way you won't diminish his dignity! He surely thought it was worth going through fire and Water for you!"
Just then, Peggy comforted him.
Upon hearing this, Steve clenched his fists tightly and said fiercely, "I'm going to kill Red Skull! As long as Hydra isn't wiped out, I won't stop!"
"You are not alone."
When Peggy said this, the scene suddenly changed.
Cars whizzed by.
Captain Arica sat in the passenger seat, while Peggy sat in the back.
Ahead was the giant plane that had appeared at the beginning!
Clearly, Captain Arica wanted to catch up to this plane.
Just as he stood up, Peggy called out from behind, "Wait."
Under the expectant gaze of countless people, Steve and Peggy kissed!
In such a tense and exciting chase, they actually kissed!
"Hiss!!! Although Bucky is very pitiful, I love these two so much!"
"I didn't expect them to kiss in such a tense and exciting situation, oh my God! A sweet attack!"
"This reminds of Thor's girlfriend, who is also so brave in love and hate, Peggy is like this too! It seems she really fell in love with Steve! Blessings, blessings!"
"It's a good thing Peggy didn't slap Steve, otherwise it would have been fun!!"
"[Thor]: Shut your mouth! (Angry)"
Countless people were very optimistic about this couple.
But happy tis are always short-lived.
After Captain Arica and Peggy kissed, he still had to fulfill his mission.
So he put his shield on his back.
At the mont Red Skull's plane was about to leave the ground, the car drifted, sending him onto the plane's wheels, successfully catching up!
In the shot, Steve looked down from above, while Peggy looked up.
The background music began to play a lodious tune, giving a sense of length, a feeling of growing distance, but more than that, it was anticipation, expectation.
It was like a man going off to war, and a woman waiting daily at the door... The scene shifted.
Captain Arica entered the plane.
Inside were weapons that could instantly destroy the West Coast.
His powerful mission and sense of justice made him eager to stop all this!
So he cleared out the minor enemies and entered the cockpit.
At this mont, he finally t his ultimate enemy—Red Skull!
And fought a great battle with him!
"Bang! —"
Just then, Captain Arica threw his shield, striking the instrunt in the middle that glowed with a brilliant blue light.
It seed to destroy it.
When Red Skull saw this, he was extrely furious!
"What have you done! No!"
Red Skull was unwilling.
He was furious!
His plan was about to succeed, and this guy ruined it!
So he took out the Tesseract from the middle.
Suddenly, the hearts of the viewers watching the video pounded non-stop.
They hadn't expected the Tesseract to be on Earth so early?
But they didn't pay attention.
After Red Skull gripped the Tesseract, he disappeared from the spot with a beam of light that shot into the sky.
No one knew where he went.
And no one cared where he went.
Because the plane was now about to destroy the city, and Captain Arica had to make it crash-land...!
But the cost was that he had to crash-land with the plane... Just then, tragic music began to play.
Zeaser's voice resonated again... "When justice and love were placed before him, how would he choose?"
"The answer, of course, is the forr...!"
Yes.
When people heard Zeaser's voice, their hearts also sank.
They hadn't danced yet, they had just kissed.
Why would he do this!
Because he is Captain Arica!!!
Countless people were moved to tears.
They knew that compared to the lives of millions of people and his own life, he would choose to sacrifice his own life without hesitation.
Even if he still had regrets, even if the girl he loved couldn't dance with him... But he upheld justice, and his noble character led him to make the most correct choice!
"There's no ti, this plane is flying too fast, I have to put it in the Water..."
In the video, while Peggy was trying everything to ensure Captain Arica's safety, Captain Arica said his solution without the slightest hesitation.
Yes, he couldn't think about so much now.
Even a mont's delay could lead to irreversible consequences... "Please, don't do that... There's still ti, we can still think of sothing..."
Peggy said anxiously, her voice even trembling.
"Peggy, this is my choice..."
When Steve said this, he placed the pocket watch he always carried in front of him.
He opened it, revealing a picture of Peggy.
Then the background music beca even more sorrowful, and the sound of the violin was even more tear-inducing!
Under the sorrowful and pained gazes of countless people, Captain Arica Steve suddenly pushed the joystick down, and the entire plane plumted rapidly, with a whistling sound, madly heading towards the glacier!
"Peggy."
"I'm here..."
"Looks like we'll have to dance another day."
"Okay, then next Saturday at the Crane Bird Club."
On the other side, Peggy held back her tears, speaking as if making an ordinary appointnt.
And Steve also responded with great understanding:
"No problem."
"Eight o'clock sharp, don't be late, understand?"
"I still can't dance…"
"I'll teach you. Just co."
Peggy smiled.
Suppressing the imnse sorrow in her heart.
"Rember to have the band play a slow song. I don't want to step on your…"
Before Steve could finish his sentence,
A static noise, like a loss of signal, ca through.
Peggy couldn't control her tears at this mont.
She despairingly whispered Steve's na.
But there was no response… The scene changed.
It was the opening scene.
Accompanied by soft, soothing, yet tragic music.
The massive plane crashed into a giant iceberg.
It slid for hundreds of ters before stopping, eventually sinking to the bottom of the sea… Countless people watched this scene.
As they grieved, their hearts were filled with unwillingness and regret.
Steve and Peggy were still making plans for that dance as they said goodbye… It was a pity; they would never be able to dance together again… "Ahhhhh!! What a tragedy!!! I'm not even asking for them to get married and have children; I just want them to dance one dance!!!"
"Boo hoo, Author, why are you so cruel? Why did you edit this out? Why? It's too pitiful!!!"
"Perhaps this is Steve. A righteous man, always doing the right thing… Even with a myriad of regrets in his heart, he still resolutely saved the World…"
"Wait, wait! Wait!!!"
"Wait for what!!! Speak quickly!!! Do you believe I'll freaking hit you!!!"
"Have you forgotten that Captain Arica didn't die!?"
Boom!
A single bullet comnt startled countless people!
That's right!
Captain Arica didn't die!!!
Doesn't that an there's still hope?
Countless hearts thumped non-stop.
They eagerly anticipated how Captain Arica survived, and if he eventually danced that dance with Peggy!!!
