Darian watched for a while before exiting Steve's World.
He wasn't a pervert; he had no interest in staring at an American derriere indefinitely.
In any case, the main supervision work was handled by other Agents, and Darian only needed to be on standby to oversee things.
He found a good spot, pulled out a comic book, and entered idle fishing mode.
"Poor Joker, beaten up by the evil Batman again."
The next day.
Darian received news that Steve was about to wake up and immediately rushed to Steve's World.
Just as he arrived at the door, he heard a commotion inside!
A short while ago, Steve had woken up from his coma.
This keenly observant super soldier almost instantly saw through the meticulously crafted Steve's World, directly achieving what Truman took thirty years to realize.
When the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent tried to calm Steve, Steve suddenly erupted, swiftly and cleanly taking them down to the ground.
Immediately after, Steve burst out of the fake scene and rushed towards the room's exit.
Steve was very fast; his legs ran more nimbly than an ordinary person's. Who could imagine this was an ice-man who had been in a coma for seventy years and had just woken up?
"Get out of the way!"
Steve saw Darian, who had just appeared at the door, and immediately let out a low growl.
Darian chuckled, "Sorry, this way is blocked."
Steve frowned, just about to force his way through, when he heard Darian suddenly shout loudly.
"Look out for the punch!"
Darian suddenly rushed forward, delivering a left front kick towards Steve!
Steve's eyes widened. He clearly hadn't expected Darian to be so dishonorable. Not only did he ambush him, but he shouted "Look out for the punch" and then delivered a kick!
But his rich combat experience made him react instantly, immediately raising his arms and crossing them to block in front of him.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed.
A tremendous force, far beyond expectations, impacted Steve's hands!
He only felt his arms vibrate and go numb, and his entire body was uncontrollably pushed backward by this force. He staggered back several steps before barely stabilizing himself and dissipating the terrifying impact.
Feeling the waves of numbness in his arms, Steve's face was filled with incredulous shock.
One must know that he had been injected with several doses of Super Soldier Serum, and his body's functions had reached the peak of human capability.
Yet Darian could easily repel him with a single kick!
Could it be that this guy was also a modified human injected with the Super Soldier Serum?
With that thought, Steve immediately held nothing back.
He immediately adopted a standard fighting stance, stepped forward, and threw a punch. His fist tore through the air with a whistle, heavily slamming towards Darian!
Facing this fierce punch, Darian merely shifted his body slightly, allowing the fist to graze past the tip of his nose.
But Steve didn't stop.
After one strike missed, a flurry of subsequent attacks followed like a storm!
In addition to his peak human physical abilities, Steve himself was a master of combat, proficient in various fighting techniques. In Eastern terms, he had assimilated the strengths of many schools, integrating multiple martial arts into one, effortlessly executing all sorts of moves.
Although he had been dormant for nearly seventy years, this did not affect Steve's combat instincts at all.
Unfortunately, no matter how exquisite Steve's combat techniques were, they could not escape Darian's Grim Reapers Eye.
All of Steve's attacks were easily dodged by Darian one by one!
"Thai Boxing Warning!"
Darian seized an opening from Steve, bent his right arm at the elbow, and delivered an elbow strike to Steve's chest!
Originally, he wanted to hit his face, but the opponent's full pectoral muscles were so eye-catching that he subconsciously elbowed there.
"Ugh!"
Steve reacted too late and took a solid elbow strike from Darian, letting out a muffled groan. He was immediately elbowed away, rubbing his pectoral muscles with a look of discomfort.
Darian grinned, "Surrender, Steve Rogers."
Steve endured the dull pain in his chest, clenched his fists, and said with a serious expression, "I can fight you all day, you evil HYDRA!"
Darian: "?"
What's going on? Has my identity been exposed?
In reality.
Steve's memory was still fixed on the moment he had his accident, which was right after defeating HYDRA.
When he woke up, he found himself in a meticulously arranged fake scene, with unknown individuals trying to deceive and even subdue him. Naturally, he assumed all of this was a HYDRA conspiracy and categorized Darian as an evil HYDRA member.
Well, in a sense, Steve's guess was indeed correct.
Just as the two were in a standoff, urgent and dense footsteps came from outside the door. A large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents arrived at the scene, blocking the doorway completely and cutting off any possibility of Steve escaping.
Seeing this formation, Steve's heart immediately sank to the bottom.
With so many HYDRA members, he probably wasn't kidnapped into HYDRA's stronghold!
Without his Vibranium shield, Steve had no confidence in defeating so many people, not to mention Darian, whose strength was unfathomable, right in front of him.
"Don't be nervous, Steve Rogers, we are not your enemies."
A deep voice sounded from behind the crowd.
The Agents quickly made way, and Fury, dressed in his iconic black leather trench coat, walked into the room.
He had already received news of Steve's impending awakening and had arrived just in time.
"Who are you?"
Steve saw Fury, who didn't look like a good person, and immediately became even more convinced of his thoughts.
"I am Fury, the current Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Fury explained, "There might be some misunderstandings between us that need clarifying. Don't worry, this isn't HYDRA territory, and you have been asleep for nearly seventy years."
Steve: "?"
Subsequently, Fury dismissed the Agents, leaving only Darian, and began to explain the whole story to Steve.
During this time, he also specifically explained the origin of S.H.I.E.L.D., stating that it was founded by Steve's first love, Peggy Carter, and his friend Howard Stark, among others, playing heavily on emotional ties.
Darian couldn't help but sigh, truly worthy of being the black-hearted spiced corned egg!
To prevent Steve from disbelieving, Fury personally took him out of the S.H.I.E.L.D. New York branch and showed him around the outside World.
When Steve saw the completely changed World outside, he finally believed that he hadn't fallen into HYDRA's lair, and the fact that he had slept for seventy years.
However, believing was one thing, accepting was another.
Facing this entirely unfamiliar new World, Steve's face could not hide his loss and confusion, appearing somewhat dejected.
Darian patted Steve's shoulder and comforted him, "I understand you. Waking up to find you have a black leader is indeed a bit hard to accept."
Fury: "....."
Did you really have to say that in front of me?
