Chapter 121 18
The ticking rain gradually became smaller, and when it was blown by the wind, it fluttered back and forth like a cow's hair, falling on people, bringing a hint of coldness.
Howard's farewell ceremony has ended, the old man has been buried in the cemetery.
Mike watched from a distance, until everyone was almost gone, he held up his umbrella and slowly walked towards the other's tombstone.
Obviously, there is more than one who has the same idea as him.
Mike nodded to Peggy Carter, the two stood in front of the tombstone, and Tony stood not far behind them and watched silently. Maria was too sad and had been sent back by Tony.
Peggy Carter looked at Howard's tombstone, the weather-beaten English rose couldn't hold back after all, her eyes were red and tears were coming.
This is her last old friend.
This is a comrade-in-arms who fought against Hydra together with her, created S.H.I.E.L.D. together, and worked together for decades, a close friend.
She gently wiped away her tears, smiled at Mike, and said, "Until now, I would think that this was a joke played by the other party, and would jump out from below and laugh at me crying ugly."
Mike thought about it, and with Howard's personality, this kind of thing can really be done.
Peggy Carter twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Mike and said, "Actually, Howard and I are very envious of your life."
"You are too tired."
Peggy Carter nodded, sighed, and said, "Maybe, but this is our choice, and we always feel that we can do something for the world."
Mike looked at each other and said, "I admire you all very much."
Perhaps, most superheroes have such a mentality, a sense of responsibility that everyone has, but many people do not realize, or are abandoned by them, but are magnified in superheroes.
"I'm retiring."
Peggy Carter spoke suddenly.
Mike nodded.
"But Tony and Maria I'll have people watching and I won't leave S.H.I.E.L.D. until I'm sure their lives are not disturbed."
heard,
Mike raised his eyebrows and said, "They can come to me when they are in trouble."
After all, he and the old man were friends.
Peggy Carter smiled and said, "With your words, he will be relieved."
"By the way." Peggy Carter changed the conversation and said, "What do you think of Nick Fury?"
"Huh?" Mike was stunned, and said with a strange expression: "Don't ask me this kind of question, I'm not familiar with him."
"I understand."
"?"
What do you unserstand?
Mike's mouth twitched, but he still didn't forget the purpose of coming today.
Putting a chrysanthemum in the pile of flowers in front of the tombstone, Mike got up and said to Peggy Carter, "Goodbye."
Peggy Carter nodded, still standing quietly in front of the tombstone.
She wanted to spend more time with her old friend.
Mike walked to his car, but was stopped by Tony in front of the car.
Mike looked suspiciously at Tony, who couldn't hide his tiredness, and said, "What's wrong?"
Tony looked at Mike and opened his mouth, but the name 'uncle' couldn't be called out. He took out a file bag and said, "The old man left you a gift that should have been given to you long ago."
Mike glanced at him and said, "I'll accept my mind, but I won't accept anything."
He had already guessed what was inside.
Tony handed the document bag forward again and said, "This is something he confessed to before he died. If it doesn't work out, he will come back to me."
Mike's eyes jumped.
This way of persuading people is really unique.
He glanced at it, reached out to take it, nodded to Tony, and said, "Take care of Maria."
"I know."
Tony nodded.
Mike opened the door, pulled down the window after getting in the car, shouted to Tony, and when he turned his head to look, he said, "Howard told me that you are his pride."
Tony felt his heart shrink together, took a deep breath, his voice trembled slightly, and said, "Thank you."
Mike closed the car window, looked at Tony who was leaving quickly, and sighed softly, "An era is about to end."
The next era will be the era of superheroes.
superhero?
Thinking of the three in his family, Mike's eyes were full of anticipation.
I really don't know what role these three boys will play in the future.
"Ha ha!"
Thinking of what happened in the future, Mike couldn't help laughing.
Probably, it will be interesting.
He looked down at the document bag in his hand, groaned, and opened it.
As expected, there was an exaggerated check and a letter inside.
Putting the check into the file bag, Mike shook his head with a smile and opened the letter from Howard to himself.
After a glance, Mike couldn't help but smile and put it back in the envelope.
Heh, although he didn't work hard to make money, he became a rich man.
...
Time will always slip away inadvertently, leaving only memories and some unique flavors.
Mike's house.
呲!
The moment the meat slices and the oil come into contact, a strong aroma emerges.
Mike was frying the sliced meat and said to Clark who was helping wash the vegetables, "Clarke, do you have anything to tell me?"
Eighteen-year-old Clark said without hesitation, "No!"
Mike raised his eyebrows and said, "Really?"
Clark was silent, put the dishes aside, picked up the freshly washed apples and stuffed them into his mouth, walked out with a tray of apples in his hand, and said vaguely, "I don't understand what you're talking about, Dad?"
Mike laughed and said, "I remember you need to hold a graduation party, right? Have you found a good dance partner?"
silence……
No answer for a long time.
Mike turned his head to see that Clark had disappeared into the kitchen.
"This child."
Mike smirked.
Clark is already eighteen years old, and he is still a pure boy.
Yes, it is the kind of love that has never been discussed.
Such a situation, in such a country, is simply unbelievable.
As for Hope...
Although Clark has always been in close contact with him, he has no intention of developing into a boyfriend or girlfriend, but rather like... a best friend.
Perhaps it was Clark who kept acting too low-key in school, otherwise, given Clark's appearance, he would have gotten off the list.
I didn't see that Charles' bastard had to change several times a year, and even Eric talked about it twice.
and many more……
Mike suddenly remembered a very crucial thing.
Clark shouldn't be worried about... that thing?
Mike dumped the dish on a plate, pinched his chin, and thought he should talk to Clark.
Carrying the fried dishes to the restaurant, the father and son were eating dinner and talking about some interesting things. As they talked, the topic was brought to Clark's graduation party by Mike.
Clark frowned and said, "I'm not going to any prom."
"That can't be done!"
Before Mike could speak, Charles exclaimed, "It's important to attend the high school prom."
Eric nodded and said, "This is the last time you played like a child before you became an adult. It is the end and starting point of the next stage of your life. You should go!"
