Chapter 259
Chapter 259
……
"I'm not surprised they're asking this kind of question, but I'm still taken aback by their stupidity."
Another protagonist in the story had to comment on this, and Peggy Carter herself said:
"They even asked over my head, well, they didn't believe Bucky's own feelings because they claimed 'Mr James Barnes is not fully recovered'.
——So I have to get another affirmative answer from my mouth. "
"I can't imagine that one day I will have to explain my relationship problems 60 years ago. They think maybe Bucky once liked me, God!
Guessing he likes Steve is more reliable than that. "Peggy Carter couldn't help talking about that past.
She mentioned her past friends and past lovers in a familiar tone, as if they were really alive.
Only she calls James Barnes "Bucky" and "Captain America" by "Steve" in real life.
But time is so cruel, it will kill everything. "Captain America" is no longer the hero in the minds of a new generation of young people, and James Barnes is not the funny old friend in memory.
Maybe the movie will evoke those memories.
At the moment when "Hydra" is about to be destroyed, Peggy Carter placed new hopes on this movie.She is also willing to talk about this with Rhea, who plays herself.
Perhaps because Rhea is immersed in a part of the performance, Peggy Carter will feel a strange familiarity whenever she comes into contact with the current Rhea.
It's a bit like having a conversation with your younger self, and it's also like talking to a friend you've known for a long time.
But Rhea Noren was not like her, and Peggy was well aware of that.
"I'm sorry, Peggy..." Rhea said helplessly, "I didn't realize this involved you."
Rhea got part of the therapy conversation from Peggy Carter's phone call.If it weren't for the crossover involved this time, the privacy of patients would be strictly protected.
James Barnes was quiet about it, and Rhea wouldn't press for specifics.
So Rhea's tone was quite unexpected.
Peggy Carter was not angry. She was also past the age of impulsiveness and irritability. She just sighed: "It's not you who should apologize. It's just that I thought that retirement would free me from being around fools."
The young woman smiled, and Rhea's voice was clearer, with a melodious tone, which was very comfortable to listen to.
"At least you can ignore them for now."
Peggy took up the topic: "Yes, now that this tricky trouble falls on other people's heads, I think I may have a good rest, Rhea, what do you think?"
They finally had a formal talk about the S.H.I.E.L.D., and what Peggy Carter said sounded a bit meaningful.No insider can ignore changes in S.H.I.E.L.D.
Rather than saying that this is a "cleaning", it is better to say that it is an "annexation" and "integration".
If a "Hydra" is strangled, S.H.I.E.L.D. will still usher in the invasion and infiltration of other external forces, which is inevitable, and under the prestigious name of "Ms. transformed into a new situation.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is still a hub of power that deals with various difficult issues, but this hub is evolving to focus on the interests of Rhea Noren.
This wasn't even caused by Rhea on her own, but by the jackals and hounds who sniffed the sound of the wind and pushed each other.
This power itself is distorted.
Justice and evil are intertwined, cooperating, and fighting, and the goals and ambitions of all parties are mixed.The issue of mutants is also naturally integrated into it, becoming an indispensable part of it.
Even the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot deviate from the huge will gathered behind it.
The only thing Peggy Carter can do is get assurances from Rhea Nolen.What on earth is this secretive, shadowy female leader thinking.
Rhea replied: "Of course you can take a good rest, Peggy, I believe the newcomers in the bureau, especially Sharon, she will definitely do better than them." This corresponds to Peggy's description of "stupid".
But she still doesn't intend to directly intervene in these matters.
Rhea, as before, introduced Peggy's niece Sharon Carter.It looks like she's keeping her promise that after she's done "cleaning up," she'll return to a "neutral" stance.
Peggy breathed a sigh of relief at first, but felt a little worried in her heart.No one can ignore the powerful force of this new generation led by Rhea Noren.
Rhea never asks for power on the surface, so what does she want?Could it be that she is really content to be a handover of interests behind the scenes?
Then the woman who was honored as a "lady" by the underground world smiled, and there was even a hint of glamorous charm in her laughter.She learned a lot from S.H.I.E.L.D., which presumably helped her acting in turn—
"Take care of your body. When we finish making the movie, you must come to the premiere." Rhea brought the topic back to the cause she cared about most.
Peggy Carter paused for a moment, and asked.
"Speaking of which, I want to know, how did you finish filming that three-person scene in the end? I heard that it was not easy for you." According to the therapist in the follow-up group, the scene was even a bit bad.
"But we made it through."
"Maybe that Mr. Therapist's question is stupid, but I think it still makes James clear one thing." Rhea said: "Actually, he didn't confuse me and you."
"He was so clear. Even in the movie, he knew I wasn't Peggy, and he knew Jonathan Stone wasn't 'Captain America.'
However, there is actually no problem with his rivalry with Jonathan. James can understand that Jonathan is playing "Captain America". Maybe I don't look like you enough, so he thinks that I am still Rhea, which is a bit strange. "
Rhea explained: "It will be so much easier if he learns to see me as someone else."
When talking about movies, Rhea became much more active, and she took the initiative to open the topic: "On the contrary, Jonathan is more troublesome, that guy..."
Peggy Carter didn't listen to the latter. Peggy cared more about her real old friend than an actor who played the old lover.
Jonathan Stone isn't really "Captain America" either.
Peggy would definitely care more about James Barnes.And she has gotten a signal from this passage, but Peggy is not sure what Rhea thinks.
The female agent who came from the battlefield and the post-war spy did not hesitate at all, and directly pointed out: "So he is looking at you, Rhea, and the person Bucky really cares about is you."
Rhea admitted without evasion: "He is relying on me. I did occupy an important position in his reconstructed spiritual world, and I played many roles.
He sees me as a superior, as a mission target, as a friend and a lover—it's all temporary. Rhea added a statement at the next moment.
"James' inner world is too blank now, he needs a spiritual support. It's just that I often appear in front of him and is his responsible person, which makes him choose me subconsciously.
It'll be all right when he remembers. "
Rhea said: "Maybe the performance still confused him. After the shooting is over, I will control the distance. Now James has adapted a lot, and maybe he can live independently for a while..."
She was so thoughtful and friendly, yet so rational and calm.Peggy Carter took comfort in the fact that Rhea had no intention of exploiting that.
At the same time, Peggy also felt ruthless in another sense.
Just because she really doesn't care about these things, she can always think from the most objective and overall perspective.As an old friend, even Peggy Carter herself didn't know how to deal with it.
This should obviously be attributed to a personal relationship, but it has become more complicated because of James Barnes' identity. Can he love someone?Will he still love?
Can he really love?Is he allowed to love?
Especially if it was Rhea Noren—she was too dangerous.
Rhea's answer is the best solution, and it's best to be like this. Peggy Carter couldn't explain the complicated emotions in her heart, but in the end Peggy agreed with Rhea's proposal, just like she voted for it at the beginning. like that.
By all accounts, Peggy Carter had long been in Rhea's camp.
"I'll talk to them," Peggy told Rhea.
Peggy Carter was alive and well, but her voice was still hoarse and muffled by illness and aging.
When she chooses to age naturally, she also has to accept withdrawing from the center of power.
The current director is too suspicious, and her niece is too stubborn. If it weren't for Rhea's support behind her, Sharon Carter would not be able to sit in her current position.
And now, no matter what, they must accept and train Rhea's chosen successor.
She was so close to directly picking the leader of a country—
Maybe Rhea wouldn't be so explicit, but she had completely changed the way this was done.
She even changed the territory of the United States.It was hard to imagine, either before or now.But everything is moving in an unalterable way.
"drop."
The familiar map of the United States rotates in the air in a translucent holographic projection, expands and becomes three-dimensional, and finally freezes in the two major cities of New York and Chicago.
A slender hand pointed over, unceremoniously enclosing a large area from the side.
The owner of the finger raised his head, revealing a thin face, the sharpness in his eyes was as sharp as his facial features, the man raised his thin lips, and smiled at Rhea: "According to the agreement, 'Metropolis' is yours,' Gotham' is mine."
"What do you think of this division?" He pointed to the two cities, but the palm of his hand drew straight down, clearly dividing the entire United States into two sides along an invisible boundary.
"Why don't I remember, we agreed like this, Lex?" Rhea Noren raised her eyebrows and folded her arms guardedly.
Rhea pointed out: "Lex, this is not our call."
Lex Luthor tapped twice in the air, "If you don't try, how would you know? We can turn this into what we decide...
It's like another Oscars PR game, you just have to lobby enough votes and you get what you want. "
He was considered to be on Rhea's side, but he became an indefinite number who kept inciting her to rebel.
This didn't shake Rhea, she said coldly: "I didn't expect you to care about the country so much, and those congressmen will be moved by you. Lex, I thought you had already invested your interest in the universe."
Lex Luthor flicked his cuffs and put his hands on the table. He looked at the woman who changed her appearance and smiled lowly.
"Yes, we were talking about a larger, more mysterious territory." He said, making a circle gesture, and then paused.
"But before we bring back the unknown map of the universe, we can't lose what is in front of us."
"Just like you, no matter how much you get, you still want to make a movie..." The uncertain man called her intimately: "Riya."
"Where are you going to host the premiere? We can celebrate you in a new city!
Do you want a statue?Do you prefer gold or quartz? "
Lex made no attempt to hide his thoughts.This greedy and crazy devil was released by Rhea——
He also works really well.
The "Special Zone Plan", which was originally expected to be postponed for a longer time, became extremely fast under the promotion of Lex.
He was better at wooing than anyone Rhea had ever known, if he wanted to.It's a pity that Rhea came up with these ideas before him.
So Lex had to tolerate those mutants for the time being, after all, what Rhea had drawn for him had even bigger goals.
Rhea first frowned and refused, "You are too exaggerated. I just finished making a movie, not saving the world."
"No!" Lex said emotionally, "Of course you're saving the world!"
"If you hadn't reminded us to be vigilant against alien threats, we might still be focused on the problems on Earth—" Lex Luthor said, coming too close, which caused a strong reaction from Rhea's bodyguard.
The man stopped, rolled his eyes nervously, and stared at the person behind Rhea.
The opponent's expression was cold, his eyes were calm, and a mechanical arm exuded a cold light full of deterrence.Just standing there brings a huge sense of oppression.
Lex knew who it was, and he smiled oddly.
"Look! Ms. Rhea Nolan has a new dog. How sad your agent must be... Malloy's trying to get a piece of land for you, you know he's buying someone from the Wayne Group?
The relationship between the consortia and the gangs there is not very good. It is not easy for them to cooperate with the reconstruction of 'Gotham' at the same time. "
The division of regions and the redistribution of benefits are huge and complicated transactions.
The addition of Malloy is an effective constraint on Lex Luthor, but also a boost.
But Lex still complained in disgust: "It doesn't matter if you change to another dog, the reformed person will be more obedient."
Rhea wasn't going to hear him finish his provocative words, which Malloy had already told her.
"Lex, show some respect. You are more like a beast." Rhea taught him coldly.
This resulted in a twisted, sweet smile, "Ha! Then let us be the kings of these beasts."
She was getting more and more used to the position of leading Sanctions, which Lex found beautiful.
It's the brown hair and tinted pupils that are off-putting.
The leader of the new force assembled invisibly asked: "Lex, what alien threat have you found?"
Rhea didn't want to know the details of Lex's scramble and operation in "Gotham". She wanted to know what made Lex Luthor willing to drop these things and come to her.
If she hadn't been caught off guard, Rhea would not have chosen to take James Barnes with her, but he was the closest to her at the moment.
Lex threw up the semi-holographic remote control in his hand, and caught it himself again. He calmed down and got to the point:
"Okay ma'am, you can now start thinking about your next interstellar sci-fi movie.
I have countless materials here—"
The author has something to say: I was wrong, and I started dragging T_T again
