With his short blond hair, blue eyes, and strong figure, people passing by couldn't help but take a second look at him.
But Steve didn't pay any more attention to those passers-by.
At this point in time, he should tell the psychologists in the counseling room of S.H.I.E.L.D. how he feels about modern society, and follow their advice on how to integrate into modern society more quickly.
But Steve knew very well that his problems wouldn't be solved there.
He has only been frozen for 70 years, not 700 years. Earth's technology has not advanced to the point where he cannot understand it at all.
SHIELD believes that he is out of touch with society because he has been sleeping for too long, so he does not know how to use a mobile phone, likes to listen to the radio, refuses modern food, and strictly follows the routine he used to in the army.
They have obviously forgotten one thing. Captain America is a super soldier and top agent. His most powerful strength is not the physical quality given by the "super serum", but his incomparable perseverance and wisdom beyond ordinary people.
If Steve wanted to learn, he could disguise himself as a standard modern person within a week, and no one would be able to see through his disguise.
It is no longer hard, but a bed as soft as marshmallows. It is not only boiled, but also has multiple cooking methods and rich tastes. It will not be intermittent, and you can check the information at any time through mobile phones and the Internet.
Will it be more difficult to adapt to these things than fighting against Fasci and Kina?
He just doesn't want to do that.
Steve is unwilling to accept the fact that he has fought hard for this country, but the country has not changed for the better at all.
The country told him that people are fearful because there are enemies across the sea, people work hard because the enemies across the sea are plotting, and people's lives are difficult because the enemies across the sea pose a threat to the whole world.
He joined the army, he accepted the super serum plan, he fought bloody battles with Fasci and Kina, he defeated the enemy, stopped the conspiracy, and eliminated all visible threats.
But now, 70 years later, except for the advancement of science and technology and the rich variety of materials, everything is the same as before. People are still anxious, working hard, and living in difficulty, as if his actions of fighting to death have no meaning at all.
What's worse is that Steve is just a warrior. He wants to solve the current problem, but he has no idea who the enemy he should defeat is.
SHIELD's psychiatrist once sincerely suggested that he put aside the idea of putting the fate of the country on his shoulders and go for a run, keep fit, watch a few movies and operas, or draw comics or play games, because
The war has been over for a long time, now we just need to enjoy life.
Steve asked them in confusion, the prerequisite for enjoying life is to work hard, so what should he do? Did SHIELD rescue him from the iceberg and thaw it just to be a mascot?
【He must do something for society, right?】
According to Natasha, the female agent responsible for caring for him, the doctor who treated him turned to other doctors for treatment, seemingly because those doctors were deeply concerned about their hedonic behavior. To regret.
"At least, you helped us clean up a lot of salary thieves, Captain." Natasha said.
——
Hell's Kitchen.
Steve stopped at the edge of the Clinton District.
It was chaotic and disorderly, and the air was mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood. Most pedestrians had flashing eyes and their hands in their bulging pockets, like beasts hiding in the darkness.
Slums, criminal neighborhoods, and gang gathering places have already existed in Steve's time, especially in Chicago, Detroit, and other cities with poor social conditions. But what he didn't expect was that in Steve's time, There are places like this in big cities like New York.
His world was originally only black and white, but after he fought bloody battles to drive away all black, the world did not turn into pure white, but turned into gray where black and white could not be distinguished, and this gray was right in front of him at this moment.
Steve's sensibility wanted to take a look, but his rationality told him that he couldn't. Natasha would definitely appear before he tried to step into that neighborhood and use various reasons to take him back. The tacit understanding reached between the Shield - he can have a certain degree of freedom and even take appropriate risks, but the dangers he encounters must be controllable, and Hell's Kitchen obviously falls into the "uncontrollable" category.
Unless there is a big crisis in the Clinton District that requires the intervention of "Captain America", "Steve Rogers" cannot step here.
Steve sighed in his heart, retracted his gaze from the depths of the block, and turned to the nearest building.
It was a ship, or rather, a restaurant decorated to look like a yacht. There was no advertisement on the huge neon signboard of the restaurant. Apart from the name of "Sea Restaurant", there were only a few lines of text that looked like a notice:
[1: No waste of food]
[2: Provide free food to shipwrecked people]
【3: Do not attack women.】
Interesting, Steve thought.
He was an excellent soldier "while alive", so of course he could not waste food, and he himself would not do anything to women unless necessary. As for the shipwrecked...
Does falling into the Arctic Ocean and being frozen for 70 years count as a shipwreck?
Steve tried to take a few steps towards the restaurant, but Natasha did not appear. Apparently SHIELD believed that this restaurant was a place he could enter.
Although I don't have any cash or credit card with me, maybe I can imitate Natasha and say "put it on SHIELD's account"?
It wasn't until he stepped into the restaurant that Steve suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something: it was already close to midnight, no restaurant would be open at this time, and the light coming from the restaurant must have been showing off the ocean.
The next second, this guess was overturned.
Although the restaurant was neatly tidied up, it did not look like he was about to go overseas. On the contrary, behind the counter stood a man wearing a white suit and a red tie. He looked to be of Asian descent and had a black shawl.
Young woman with hair.
She was bored and tapping on the counter with a short stick like a magician's cane. When she saw Steve come in, she smiled at him, turned her hand over and put away the stick, and then put it on the counter.
A plate of small cakes appeared out of thin air.
Is he really a magician?
"Would you like to try our freshly baked cake? Captain?" She said with a smiling voice: "Because you are a shipwrecked person, it's free~"
