super actress

Chapter 301

"Thank you."

Rhea was a little surprised that he agreed so quickly, "My assistant will be very happy, she has made a lot of preparations for this publicity plan."

"But we'd better let you and Jonathan attend. After all, there are some rumors about your identities now, and we have to clarify this."

She shook her head and sighed softly: "If Jonathan knew that he himself was regarded as Captain America, he would definitely lose his temper."

There is a trace of more real and soft emotions beyond that perfect state.

For Rhea personally, the actor who played "Captain America" ​​is of course more intimate and familiar than Captain America himself.However, this strange sense of being replaced still made Steve Rogers feel a little weird.

It was Rhea who first showed him the 21st century in her eyes.

Then he came to this real future world.

And he hadn't even met Rhea Noren in person—although technology has advanced to help people meet across distances, it's not yet a reality.

All of this brings Steve the same feeling as Rhea, wonderful and complicated.

The communication was over soon.

"Sorry, I still have a schedule ahead..."

After all, Rhea Noren is a female star with a busy schedule.

Steve watched as Rhea disappeared, as if they were still in the mind space.But now that she's gone, there are others to answer questions for Steve Rogers.

"What did she mean by the identity rumors of Jonathan Stone and me?" Steve had already watched the movie and knew the filming experience of "Peggy Carter".

He knew Jonathan was playing him, and he even knew they had put his old friend in the movie for a cameo.

It's just that there are too many new things that require his attention, and Steve hasn't kept up with the progress of the news about himself.

"It's still because of that movie!" Director Nick Fury still complained: "They spent a lot of effort on casting to find someone like you.

Now, some people are starting to speculate that Jonathan Stone is you, just using an alias. "

He made a joke with some sarcasm: "But if I found you earlier, Rhea might really let you act."

"I can't do Rhea's job." Steve shook his head knowingly.

"Does this require acting skills? You just have to show yourself, like James Barnes..."

Mentioning friends, Steve relaxed a little and chatted briefly: "I will remember how it felt to interview him, when Bucky returns from his mission in the Middle East."

Nick Fury didn't go on, and pushing "Winter Soldier" to Rhea's film crew is not a very glorious topic for S.H.I.E.L.D.

After all, the negative impact brought by James Barnes far outweighed the positive ones at that time, and they had to choose to give up for the situation.

Also since then, the status of Rhea and S.H.I.E.L.D. have been reversed.

Up to now, Rhea has completely controlled the initiative.

Fury can only nitpick from some innocuous places: "Then you can only hear some gossip about the crew. All the plots of that movie are used to set off her own, Captain America has no role, let alone your background board partner."

"Rha did a great job at her job," Steve said bluntly.

"She presents a new 'Peggy.'

She tells a new and moving story, and as to whether the main character is Captain America or 'Peggy Carter', I don't think that's the most important part. "

The sincere feelings of the hero himself sounded subjective to Nick Fury.

The director glared at Steve Rogers: "Don't trust the friends you know through conscious thinking, Captain.

You should be careful if she takes the opportunity to plant something in your brain.

Be warned in advance that there is a powerful 'mind reader' in Rhea's mutant team, which is why they can develop super technology so quickly. "

"I've heard your warning once, and you don't need to repeat it, Fury," Steve replied.

He is still young and handsome, escaped from 60 years, frozen age.Judging by the appearance alone, this is an extremely outstanding young man.

And because of his honest and kind demeanor, people can easily mistake him for a stunned newcomer.

But the fact is that when he was 20 years old, he was already the chief of a legion, and he also held important positions at a higher level than Nick Fury.

Even if Steve Rogers missed the years after World War II, he would not forget the fighting instincts and fighting experience honed from the frontline battlefield.

A brutal war, never just about killing people.

At that time, the consequences of any small decision will have immediate and fatal effects.

Steve just felt strange and bewildered by all this, so that he would not lose his ability to think.

"Rhea Noren means a lot to this era. I understand your concerns, but I will use my own way to understand."

He also stated his position: "As far as I know, Rhea didn't really hurt anyone. On the contrary, she helped more."

even.

Rhea is doing work related to actors, and even her proposal for "World Justice" revolves around that industry.

This is totally a Hollywood actress.

Steve hadn't figured out Rhea's position in this organization yet, but he already knew her status and reputation quite well.

Among all the information that can be consulted, the closer the time is to the present, the higher the probability of the name Rhea Noren appearing.

Like a famous symbol from the turn of the century.

The unfamiliar Internet is full of news about Rhea, and in reality, the real New York City is also full of advertising posters of Rhea Nolen, and the material of "Peggy Carter" is almost moved into the Captain America Museum. Many people have suggested it.

Even in S.H.I.E.L.D., Rhea has definitely a lot of supporters.

Apart from expressing admiration and respect to him, the agents who were approached by him for questioning were concerned about Rhea's role in this incident.

Among them, the most enthusiastic one was a senior agent named Phil Coulson.

His attitude towards Rhea is far more positive and friendly than their chief.

"We started working with Rhea a long time ago, but our way in the past was inappropriate and created some misunderstandings." Coulson summed it up as: "A problem left over from history."

Steve raises an eyebrow at the word "history" and realizes, "You're reaching out to Rhea, why? She's just an actress."

"This involves confidentiality, and I have no authority to disclose it."

"Then do I have access to information?"

Captain America's sharp question made Phil Coulson pause in distress.

Why do they think Steve Rogers can't handle bureaucracy.

Even if Steve doesn't have a clear identity arrangement, Coulson can't refuse Captain America, let alone do it!

The agent barely found some things that could be explained: "At first we thought that we could use her celebrity to divert the focus of public opinion and cover up some secrets. We are indeed doing this, and Rhea is becoming more and more important to us. .”

Up to now, the subject and object of using both parties have been completely reversed.

Instead, S.H.I.E.L.D. has become an object and tool to be used.

Coulson agrees with the concerns of the current leaders intellectually, but is more emotionally inclined to their invisible leader, but a subordinate must never point out the conflict between the two leaders in the open.

He could only say: "Now Rhea has a higher level of authority than me."

"She's the 'sir'." Steve concluded with folded arms.

"No, Sharon is our real female officer. Rhea is not in S.H.I.E.L.D. She is more often in Hollywood." Coulson cleared his throat.

Seeing Coulson handing over a bunch of cards, Steve hesitantly took them.

On the first card is a team of lovers fighting side by side.

The Star-Spangled Banner uniform and star-shield weapon worn by the male hero are just as Steve remembers them.

The female officer in military uniform next to her was familiar yet unfamiliar.

"Look! This is the newest, "Peggy Carter" is so popular. This led to a lot of reprints, and this Captain America card also came out with a new set. Although I was on a business trip at the time, I still hired Someone snatched it." Phil Coulson suddenly became excited when he mentioned this topic.

"They wanted to be close to the movie version, and they played around the edges. It's a bit too much, but I have to admit that it is very well done and worthy of collection!"

At first glance, Steve recognized that the facial features of the woman were actually closer to Rhea, but they were only blurred.

Coulson was a little embarrassed: "Can I ask you to sign your name, captain? This will definitely double the value of the collection...Of course, I will never sell it. Your signature is more important to me!"

Steve turned it over, and a series of beautifully designed English curlicues had been signed on the back, the clearest one being a capital "R".

The star's signature was illegible, but he also guessed whose name it was.

"You asked me to sign with Rhea?" Steve asked.

Normally it's not the actor who should have Rhea playing opposite her, or him and the real Peggy—

"Captain, I have always been your fan. I also like Rhea...I mean, I am her fan." Coulson touched his nose and explained: "Of course I respect Peggy, but that Not the same.

As for Jonathan Stone, he's just like you, and I thank him for the role, but he's not you.

But what Rhea has done is not just acting. "

The eerie feeling that surged up before hit Steve Rogers again, and he didn't know how to describe it.

In the end, he stared at Rhea's signature for a moment, took the pen and signed his own at the bottom, linking these two irrelevant names separated by eras and centuries.

"Thorn."

There was a sound in the air, and a red light tore open, cutting out half a section to communicate with another space.

Before Steve held the pen to throw the weapon, Coulson had already shouted loudly: "I said, you can't use the ability casually in the game!"

The person on the opposite side looked innocent, "Officer Sharon Carter is looking for you!"

"Can you call me first and tell me, do you know how many reports are required for this violation?"

Coulson turned around after reprimanding, "I'm sorry, Captain, this is our newcomer. They are not quite used to the organization and discipline, and there are many headaches..."

"Super powers? Mutants."

"Correct."

Coulson nodded, "Mutants can also be agents now. This is a new way of cooperation-it turns out that we really need these special assistance."

Especially when he came back from Smallville, a large number of people inside and outside the bureau had changed their old conservative views.

This isn't the first time they've teamed up with mutants.

Now it is just a step forward under Rhea's proposal.

All mutants who have graduated from X Academy and are over 20 years old can find jobs in S.H.I.E.L.D. after registering their superpowers.

With the perfect example of Rhea's Jewish agent, Matthew Malloy, spatial ability was the most sought-after requirement.It's a pity that so far, no second time ability user has been found.

This inevitably makes people worry whether this new type of cooperative team can fight against a mysterious existence that is as powerful as that alien, or even more terrifying.

But fortunately, mutants have various superpowers, and they still have a lot of room for cooperation and evolution.

Just because the transition of this cooperation progressed so naturally and smoothly, it is inevitable that the director wondered whether the super war that almost destroyed half of the United States from a small town was deliberately planned.

After all, everyone knew that Malloy had always listened to Rhea Noren.

However, under such progress, how to maintain and balance the relationship between mutants and ordinary people has become the most important proposition, and it has become less important to trace the source.

Phil Coulson said: "Captain, it's great that Rhea has you back.

We need heroes more than ever, 'our' heroes. ’ he deliberately emphasized.

It took Steve a moment to react.

This ordinary agent under Nick Fury turned out to be a lobbyist for Rhea's "superhero" promotional plan.
