Brooklyn, Grot Town.
Inside a very ordinary supermarket.
Rumble!
The sound of shopping cart wheels rubbing against the ground echoed.
Captain America, whose hair was already white, with wrinkles and age spots on his face, looking no different from an ordinary old man, was pushing a shopping cart, moving back and forth between rows of shelves.
No, it couldn't be said that there was no difference.
An old man of such an advanced age would not possibly have the mental state of Captain America.
It was even less likely that he would push a shopping cart through half the supermarket without getting red-faced or out of breath, as if nothing was wrong.
He was a Super Soldier after all.
Even though Captain America looked like this now, if something really happened, a few strong adult men would still not be able to get close to him.
"Ah, here it is!"
His gaze lingered on the shelves, and Captain America's steps unknowingly stopped.
He picked up a bottle of ketchup in front of him, examined it carefully, and nodded to himself, "That's right, this is it."
This was Peggy Carter's favorite flavor.
Although Captain America himself thought it was pretty ordinary, and had even eaten it for so many years that he felt like throwing up, as long as Peggy Carter liked it, that was enough!
Captain America unhesitatingly placed the ketchup into the shopping cart in front of him.
Whoosh!
However, suddenly, Captain America's movements paused slightly, as if he had sensed something.
He turned his head subtly, and Captain America's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
He saw that not far from him, at the other end,
a Black man wearing a black trench coat and an eye patch was also casually picking out some items.
Nick Fury!?
How could it be him!?
Captain America's vigilance soared, and he quickly turned his brain, analyzing the situation before him.
He also quickly scouted the surroundings.
The result was that he found no traces of surveillance, and the passersby coming and going seemed to be genuinely just passersby, not Agents in disguise.
Whew!
This made Captain America slightly relieved.
However, Captain America still didn't dare to let his guard down; no matter what, this was Nick Fury!
Since being awakened after seventy years of slumber, he had "worked" under Nick Fury for a long time.
Captain America knew perfectly well what kind of person Nick Fury was; this man would absolutely not appear without reason.
In fact, Captain America's first guess was that Nick Fury had come for him.
After all, Nick Fury had appeared by his side!
To explain this as a coincidence was a bit too far-fetched.
Could it be that Nick Fury had already recognized him?
Captain America's heart sank slightly.
But he thought back carefully, and it seemed he hadn't revealed any flaws!
"Never mind!"
Although he hadn't completely figured out what was going on, Captain America didn't continue to dwell on it, but quickly made a decision.
Leave this troublesome place!
The farther from Nick Fury, the better!
Rumble!
The sound of wheels rubbing against the ground echoed again.
Captain America nonchalantly pushed the shopping cart again and started walking.
All his movements from beginning to end were smooth and natural, without any flaws.
It was as if he had finished shopping and was about to leave.
"Just leaving like that?"
"Not even a greeting?"
"This is truly a bit embarrassing; I thought we were friends."
However, at this moment, Nick Fury's voice drifted from behind.
This made Captain America, who had just turned around, frown.
So Nick Fury really had come for him.
And judging by his tone, the other party obviously knew his true identity.
How could this be?
How did Nick Fury know?
Where did he expose himself?
Captain America's heart was filled with questions.
"Excuse me, are you talking to me?"
While those thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, Captain America slowly turned around.
He appropriately showed a hint of confusion on his face, "Do we know each other? My memory isn't very good; I really can't remember who you are."
It must be said that Captain America's acting at this moment was actually very perfect.
Even Nick Fury, who knew the truth, couldn't spot any flaws.
But unfortunately, Nick Fury wasn't there to trick Captain America, but had solid evidence.
"Rogers, I know this is a bit sudden, and I know you don't want to see me right now, but I can assure you, I won't disturb your current life."
"I just need a little bit of your time, that's all."
"After that, I won't appear in your life."
Nick Fury didn't beat around the bush with Captain America; he laid it all out directly.
And Nick Fury really wasn't fooling Captain America; what he said was sincere.
As long as he got important information about the future from Captain America, he would absolutely not bother Captain America again.
"You've got the wrong person."
Captain America's expression stiffened slightly, then quickly returned to normal.
After dropping that line to Nick Fury, Captain America decisively pushed the shopping cart again.
"Rogers, you and I both know that I wouldn't appear without absolute certainty."
"What you're doing is meaningless."
"If you're not ready this time, I can come next time, it's up to you."
But Nick Fury's words from behind made Captain America's steps halt.
It seemed things had indeed developed to the worst possible scenario.
Although he didn't know how Nick Fury knew his identity, it seemed the other party had indeed confirmed it.
This was quite a headache.
Because he had been targeted by Nick Fury.
And once targeted by the other party, unless the other party's goal was achieved, Captain America's life would not return to peace.
"You can continue to deny it, Rogers, but I have your DNA analysis report. Do you want to see it?"
When Nick Fury said this, he actually took out a document and handed it to Captain America.
Captain America glanced at the document and didn't reach out to take it, but he also didn't continue to deny it.
"Nick, why are you here?"
Captain America stared intently at Nick Fury and asked him solemnly.
This was equivalent to directly admitting his identity.
After all, at this point, Captain America really had no need to continue hiding.
"Let's go, Captain, let's find a better place to talk."
Nick Fury then invited Captain America.
"No, let's just talk here."
"It's about a fifteen-minute walk from the exit; I think that's enough."
Captain America, however, flatly refused.
No matter what Nick Fury wanted with him, he had no intention of getting involved.
His purpose for returning this time was very clear: to spend time with Peggy Carter, and nothing more.
Other matters had nothing to do with him.
"Captain, I know where you come from, and my purpose in finding you is simple: I hope you can give me some valuable advice."
Nick Fury didn't haggle with Captain America either, but seized the opportunity to get down to business with Captain America.
"Call me Harrison; there's no Captain here."
Captain America first corrected Nick Fury's words, then glanced at Nick Fury with shining eyes, "Also, I'm just an old man now; I can't give you any advice."
"No, you can."
"In fact, only you can give me advice on these matters."
When Nick Fury said this, he suddenly stepped forward and blocked Captain America.
His entire demeanor also became solemn.
"Although these are usually some high-sounding words, some empty excuses, this time it's not."
"I'm not doing this for myself, but for this World!"
"The Chitauri invasion, Ultron's attempt to eliminate all humanity, Purple Sweet Potato erasing half of the Universe's living beings, including billions on Earth."
"After experiencing all of this, can you truly remain indifferent?"
"I need you now, this World needs you!"
Nick Fury looked incredibly serious, incredibly earnest.
???
What the heck!
Captain America, facing Nick Fury, was truly shocked; he could no longer maintain his composure.
Why did Nick Fury know all about these major events that happened in the future?
This guy actually knew about the future!
How did he do it!?
Captain America remembered very clearly that Nick Fury didn't know about the future.
In fact, not only Nick Fury, but all the Avengers, even Doctor Strange, who possessed the Time Stone, didn't know the future!
Of course, others didn't have the ability, and Doctor Strange simply wasn't willing to do so.
Aside from observing tens of millions of possibilities of everyone fighting Thanos on Titan, Doctor Strange had never observed the future again.
Yet, in the past, Nick Fury actually knew about the future?
What exactly was going on?
Captain America was utterly bewildered.
"I don't know where you heard these things, but you're asking me for advice?"
After calming down, Captain America, with a serious expression, gave Nick Fury his answer, "My advice, no, my warning is: don't try to play with Time, because Time will play with you!"
This was a lesson learned with the blood of the Avengers.
The entire Endgame War, Tony Stark's death, was the price the Avengers paid for playing with Time!
"Goodbye."
"And forevermore!"
Captain America no longer bothered to say anything more to Nick Fury, quickened his steps, and quickly left.
Nick Fury didn't chase after him, just shook his head slightly; things were not going smoothly.
Seeing Captain America's resolute attitude, Nick Fury immediately concluded that
he probably wouldn't get anything from Captain America.
It was like this this time.
Even if he tried something else in the future, it would probably be the same.
It was truly a headache.
If it were someone else, Nick Fury would certainly not hesitate.
A myriad of different methods were waiting, guaranteed to make the other party willingly reveal everything he wanted to know.
But this time, Nick Fury was facing Captain America!
Even if Nick Fury was an Agent King, and his methods were sometimes quite dark, he still had a certain bottom line.
He had no intention of taking any drastic measures against Captain America.
So, how to deal with this matter next would still need careful consideration!
Rubbing his temples slightly, Nick Fury also nonchalantly started walking, quietly leaving the supermarket.
As if he had never appeared.
Bang!
Back in his office in the Triskelion, Nick Fury closed the door, took off his impressive trench coat.
He poured himself a cup of coffee, sat down, and took a sip to rest. Then Nick Fury took out his diary from the drawer.
Having had the diary for so long, taking it out to check from time to time had become a habit for Nick Fury.
No choice, Satan's updates were simply too random.
They could happen at any time, with absolutely no regularity.
Nick Fury just had to keep a close eye on it.
Hmm?
It updated!
And when he turned to the latest page, Nick Fury's spirits immediately lifted.
Compared to when he left, new content had indeed appeared in the diary.
[I never thought, truly never thought.]
[After being reborn into this Universe for so long, today is the first time I've discovered that Mr. Fantastic also exists in this Universe!]
[However, the current Mr. Fantastic still seems to be an ordinary person, not yet one of the Fantastic Four, and even looks a bit down on his luck.]
[It seems some research didn't find investment, which makes me a bit eager to act.]
[No matter what, this is the smartest person on Earth, even smarter than Tony Stark.]
[In fact, not only on Earth, but even in the galaxy, he can rank high.]
[I'm afraid besides Rocket Raccoon, there aren't many who can compare to Mr. Fantastic, right?]
Mr. Fantastic?
Tony Stark in his luxurious Villa immediately had his attention caught by that name.
The Playboy was not unfamiliar with this name; the diary had leaked it before.
This person was a member of that "tragic organization" called the Illuminati.
He was turned into "human noodles" by the corrupted Scarlet Witch, one could say he died a truly miserable death.
Other than that, the diary hadn't revealed anything more.
But now, Fantastic Four?
So this Mr. Fantastic will join another Super Hero team in the future?
And that team consists of four people!
This was obvious, no problem at all, it's just that the name "Fantastic Four" was a bit low-brow.
Tony Stark muttered a slight complaint.
But very quickly, the Playboy's eyebrows immediately shot up, revealing a look of strong disbelief.
That Zhou Cheng actually thought this Mr. Fantastic was smarter than him?
What a joke!
