"Mm… Then I'll sleep first… So tired…"
"Not so fast, clean it up first."
"You're so bad… Mmm…"
…..
Bang~!!
The vibranium-alloy shield slammed hard into the ground, its special molecular structure absorbing almost all the kinetic energy.
Steve quickly climbed up from the shattered glass and fled under the watchful eyes of bystanders.
[Are you kidding me!?]
Seeing this bold move by Captain America through surveillance footage,
Hydra spy Sitwell, startled, quickly gave an order:
[He's headed to the garage! Close off the bridge!!]
…..
This S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters was surrounded by water on all sides — to drive out, one had to cross the bridge.
So, Sitwell's order to shut down the bridge access valve was a wise one.
Unfortunately, Steve moved even faster than expected.
Vroom———!
With a roar, the black motorcycle lifted and leaped through the closing valve just in time!
Thud!
The motorcycle landed on the ground.
Steve gripped the handlebars and sped forward at full throttle!
Just then—
Boom———!!
A S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft flew over his head and hovered to block the road ahead.
"Captain Rogers! Surrender immediately!"
A mounted cannon was lowered from the aircraft, opening fire on Steve as he rode—
Ratatatatat!!
"Repeat! Surrender immediately!"
Steve ignored the warning, weaving expertly to dodge the bullets.
As he neared the aircraft, he hurled his shield—
Clang!!
The shield struck true, nearly disabling one of the aircraft's rotors.
Steve seized the chance, leaping from his motorcycle and landing on the aircraft with a thud!
Then he rolled back and forth, performing acrobatic moves.
Bam~! Bang——! Thud~!
With his shield ricocheting back and forth,
In just over ten seconds, the high-end aircraft was taken down and forced to land in flames and smoke...
At the gate of Sunnyvale Manor—
Agent Hill leaned against the jeep door, her sculpted chin lifted, grey-green eyes gazing at the sky.
The once bright blue sky with white clouds had already started to dim…
'Natasha's been inside for so long… why hasn't there been any word yet…'
She couldn't help but feel concerned…
Things really weren't going as smoothly as expected...
"Ms. Hill, right? You're Hill?"
A female mercenary from the Wild Fang unit ran over to Hill.
Silvija had already left; as the head of security, there was no need for her to personally guard the gate.
"Yes, I'm Maria Hill," Hill gave her full name.
The female mercenary said, "Boss says you can come in now."
"Finally…"
Hill muttered under her breath, then stepped forward in her boots, following the mercenary into the estate.
After entering a certain area of the manor,
The mercenary handed Maria Hill over to Miss Rachel.
"Follow me, Ms. Hill."
The cat-eyed girl with faint white freckles at her collarbone led Hill toward Natasha's private bedroom.
Her voice was still slightly hoarse.
Hill quietly followed behind, secretly eyeing the seductive maid outfit the girl wore—
The neckline plunged deep, and the ultra-short skirt barely covered her shapely rear...
'Looks like the intel I gathered was right… This is exactly his type.'
The more Hill observed the girl's balanced figure, the more confident she felt in her judgment.
After escaping from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters—
"Hoo~"
Steve finally caught his breath and contacted Natasha through a private encrypted channel.
[Beep———]
Hearing the tone, Ye Li rummaged through a pile of clothes, retrieving a finger-sized communicator from the lady's intimate garments.
He tapped the green screen, and Steve Rogers' solemn voice came through—
[We were right, Natasha. There's something wrong in S.H.I.E.L.D., we have to investigate quickly! Did you keep Nick Fury's USB safe?]
[Oh…]
Ye Li responded softly, tossed off the bedsheet in the nude, and picked up the silver USB he had almost thrown into the trash.
[———She kept it safe. No damage.]
[President Ye? Why is it you?]
Steve asked in confusion: [Where's Natasha? Did Hill and the others already talk things out with you?]
[Miss Natasha is a bit tired. If there's anything, I can relay it to her for you…]
Ye Li gently wiped the sleeping beauty's red lips with his thumb and continued.
[As for Hill, she hasn't arrived yet. But 8:30 should be soon…]
[Not there yet?]
Captain America got a bit anxious, not even thinking about why Black Widow was "tired."
Agent Hill should've been reliable.
Why hasn't the talk even started…?
So, he said to Ye Li: [Then I'll hold out here a bit longer! I trust you'll have a good talk with Ms. Hill — she's there representing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s goodwill…]
Click~
Ye Li was listening to Steve talk.
A slender hand pushed open the door.
Maria Hill walked in with a smile.
At that moment, Ye Li received a system notification—
The Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was classified as a "superhero."
It seemed—
His basic stats could be improved a bit again.
[Natasha…]
Seeing Natasha's bare and exhausted state,
Hill's eyes flickered, but she kept her expression steady. Before speaking, she politely unbuttoned two buttons on her shirt, revealing smooth, wheat-colored skin to President Ye...
Seeing this, Ye Li said to Steve over the comm: [Don't worry, Captain. I'll have a good talk with her…]
