I can understand the World on my own, it will just take some time."
"You're willing to help me, so there must be conditions, right? State them first."
Steve saw that Nick Fury was trying to show him a sign of goodwill, but he didn't accept it. Instead, he spoke directly.
"Everyone here is reasonable, so this will be easy."
"However, my condition isn't difficult. I want you to join the Avengers team I'm establishing."
Upon hearing this, Nick Fury threw a document directly onto a table two meters away from Steve.
Steve heard the chuunibyou-sounding team name, walked to the table, picked up the document, and began to read it.
"The strongest superhero team in history?"
"The strongest team whose main mission is to deal with supernatural events?"
Steve frowned as he read about the main origins of the Avengers Initiative.
"You were frozen for decades, and the World has completely changed. The World-ending war is over."
"The World has become more peaceful and developed, but this peace is only within Blue Planet."
"Compared to wars caused by internal strife, we now face a new crisis."
"That is the threat from extraterrestrial aliens."
Nick Fury said.
"Alien threat?"
"Has human technology advanced enough to discover the Planets where aliens reside?"
"Next, are you going to tell me that humans are going to space to fight aliens?"
Steve heard these seemingly wild and unrealistic words, put down the document in his hand, and scoffed at Nick Fury.
"Steve, I'm not joking with you."
"It's not Blue Planet's technology that discovered the aliens' Planet, but the aliens who discovered our Planet."
"And they have already visited Blue Planet before, and will arrive again at some unknown time in the future."
"Compared to alien technology, Blue Planet's technology is too backward."
"The capabilities of normal humans are also limited, so I must gather a team of superhuman-like heroes."
"When the aliens arrive, humanity will have the ability to retaliate, instead of just watching them do as they please on Blue Planet."
Nick Fury saw that Steve didn't believe him and said with a serious expression.
"Fury, assuming I believe you, I still don't trust the Military and those politicians who only care about profit and not human lives."
Steve saw Nick Fury's serious demeanor and didn't hide his impression of the Military and politicians, stating it directly.
Sometimes, the U.S. Military and politicians might issue disgusting directives just to cover up scandals and save face.
"You probably don't know the origin of S.H.I.E.L.D. Among S.H.I.E.L.D.'s founders are your friends Howard Stark and Peggy Carter."
"Its purpose has always been to deal with supernatural events."
"And the Avengers answer to S.H.I.E.L.D."
"As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., while I cannot give you an absolute guarantee, I can promise you that I will not disregard your will."
Nick Fury knew it was normal for Steve, who had witnessed the dirty tactics of soldiers and politicians, to have a bad impression of politicians and the Military.
"…"
Steve fell silent when he heard that the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. were people he knew.
"If you join the Avengers, as long as there are no alien invasions."
"Normally, your opponents will at most be fighting Terrorists, to avoid causing too many innocent civilian casualties."
"For this, S.H.I.E.L.D. can arrange accommodation for you and provide you with the money you need for daily life."
"Given your abilities, these missions are not difficult for you."
Nick Fury saw that Steve was wavering and struck while the iron was hot.
"Who are currently in the Avengers?"
Steve heard Nick Fury's conditions, and indeed, he had no reason to refuse.
"Currently, the Avengers have a small number of members. Including you, there are a total of four people."
"The list is in the document; you can see their information for yourself."
"Although you won't meet yet, understanding each other's backgrounds and abilities beforehand."
"Will be beneficial for your future cooperation and Tacit Understanding."
Nick Fury knew that since Steve asked this, he had already agreed.
Steve reread the document and found that it indeed contained general information about the Avengers.
Although this information was not comprehensive and could not fully represent their respective abilities, it did indicate some of the main abilities they relied on in combat.
Iron Man Tony Stark was prominently on the list, and his combat abilities primarily came from the super-tech Iron Man Armor he invented.
Besides Tony Stark, there were also super Agents codenamed Hawkeye and Black Widow, whose strength was indeed far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Captain America Steve Rogers, as the initiator of the Avengers Initiative, I sincerely welcome your joining."
At this, Nick Fury stood up and approached Steve, a smile on his face, extending his hand.
"May I ask who the Captain of the Avengers is?"
Steve also extended his hand, shook Nick Fury's, and asked.
"My original intention is not to completely control your will."
"Because you are all powerful heroes, your strength allows you to have more response strategies when dealing with various crises."
"So, besides providing general direction and technological assistance, etc."
"You can complete missions according to your own ideas and abilities."
"Therefore, there is no Captain right now. Perhaps when you assemble in the future, you can discuss who will be this Captain."
Upon hearing this, Nick Fury immediately knew that Steve wanted to be the Captain, but he did not give a definite answer, instead letting Steve and the others decide for themselves.
"Alright, I hope you keep your word."
"You can leave. Just send a low-level Agent to help me understand the current World."
Steve was not surprised by Nick Fury's words; that last sentence was just a test.
"I believe the entertainment you'll find after understanding the modern era won't disappoint you."
"Also, Peggy Carter is still alive, though she has grown old after all these years."
"If you wish to see her, you can go to this address."
"As for how to get in, I shouldn't need to help you, right?"
Nick Fury reached into his chest pocket, pulled out a slip of paper with an address written on it.
"Of course not."
Steve was shocked to hear that Peggy was still alive. He reached out and took the slip of paper, saying.
"A word of advice for you."
"You were frozen for decades, your age stopped at that moment, but the World continues to turn."
"Some people and things have long since changed."
After Steve took the slip of paper, Nick Fury patted Steve's shoulder before leaving, saying earnestly.
