Chapter 40 - Chapter 40

The battle raged, and then it ended.

Behind the military camp.

Captain America was ready to depart.

"Finally, it's my turn?"

"I wonder how the media will cover me."

"Come to think of it, I'm curious how I've stayed this way for seventy years."

At that moment, Miss Carter arrived.

She looked up at the sky, seeing Captain America and Howard sitting behind the camp, appearing momentarily lost.

A faint smile crept across her face.

Curious, she asked,

Carter: "What are you two looking at?"

Strangely enough, before she arrived, there had been nothing to see.But as she approached, she clearly saw a strange screen floating before them.

Carter: "Ah… what is this?"

It was exactly what anyone would expect—anyone suddenly witnessing a screen appear from nowhere would be shocked.

Captain America explained the purpose of the screen and mentioned that a video about him would be shown shortly.

Although Miss Carter was initially startled—it was, after all, rather unbelievable—she quickly accepted it.After all, she and Dr. Erskine, the scientist behind the serum, were both part of the Strategic Science Corps.She had heard of such advanced technology and quickly understood.

Captain America: "Yes, logically speaking, that's correct.I remember how skinny and small you were when you first started.I suppose this video will show you all the awkward moments from your youth.I'm curious… now that Steve has chest and abdominal muscles, how embarrassed he'll feel seeing his younger self, skinny and awkward. Haha."

Miss Carter smiled sweetly.Even though Steve Rogers was now tall and muscular, in her mind he was still the small, scrawny boy who, when a bomb landed, would throw himself on it first and shout for others to run.She had always been curious about his past.

Captain America's expression turned slightly embarrassed.He had not forgotten those skinny, awkward years.There had been many cringe-worthy moments.

For example, in the movie theater:During wartime, even entertainment venues were affected.Before each film, the state required a short recruitment propaganda clip.The audience respected this and stayed quiet.But a bully shouted for the feature to start immediately.After Steve said a few words, the bully was dragged to the alley behind the theater and beaten.Had it not been for his friend Bucky, Steve might have spent several days in the hospital.

Other moments made him feel completely socially inept.For example, one night, Bucky invited him to the World's Fair.A display featured a photo of a soldier saluting, with the soldier's head blanked out so visitors could place their own faces and "become the soldier."But since Steve was small, his face barely reached the soldier's shoulders.A few passing girls laughed at him.Awkward beyond words.

He wondered which of these socially mortifying moments the screen would show.

Captain America turned his gaze to the screen.

On the screen:

[Classic Scene 1: Miss Carter's Restless Hands]

Seeing the title, Miss Carter instantly understood what was coming.Her cheeks flushed pink.Her palms began to sweat.She silently prayed:

"Please… no."

[In the laboratory.]

To inject the Super Soldier Serum, Steve was strapped to the operating table.A nurse took a fifteen-centimeter syringe, inserted it into his right arm, and slowly injected the liquid.

Steve frowned—clearly the taste was unpleasant.

Steve: "Feels… okay."Nurse: "That's just penicillin."

Steve: "???"

Dr. Erskine, seeing everything nearly ready, began the countdown.

Erskine: "Five… four… three… two… one!"

Howard Stark pressed a button beside him.Six vials of the blue Super Soldier Serum flowed into Steve's body.

Erskine: "Here we go, Mr. Stark."Howard pressed another button, and Steve's test chamber slowly lifted.

10%… 20%… 30%…

Inside, a blinding blue-white light filled the chamber.40%… 50%…A screeching sound like nails on a chalkboard filled the room.60%… 70%…

Steve screamed in pain inside the chamber.Everyone around panicked.

Miss Carter rushed to the stands, asking what was happening.

Erskine slammed his fists against the test chamber.

Erskine: "Steve! Steve! Are you alright? Answer me!"

Miss Carter shouted at the staff.

Carter: "Can't you see? Turn it off! Turn it off!!!"

Erskine: "Turn it off! Mr. Stark, turn it off!"

A piercing scream halted them.

Steve: "No!!! Don't turn it off! I can handle it!"

Seeing Steve so determined, Stark nodded and continued operating the machine.

80%… 90%…The blue-white light filled the entire room, forcing everyone to shield their eyes.

100%!

The chamber hummed.Sparks flew uncontrollably.Everyone thought it would explode.Lights dimmed. The machines fell silent.

A loud BOOM!

The test chamber slowly opened.White mist dissipated.

Steve gasped, revealing a strong, bronze physique.

Steve: "I did it, doctor."

Erskine helped him out of the chamber.

Erskine: "Yes… we succeeded."

Howard's voice trembled with disbelief.

Howard: "I never thought you'd really make it!"

Miss Carter, seeing Steve safe, stepped in front of him.She surveyed his new physique in amazement, noting how the once-small man had transformed.

Instinctively, she reached out to touch his shining abs… then quickly withdrew her hand.Her face flushed at her own impulse.

Behind the military camp.

Miss Carter's face was red.She quickly covered Steve's eyes with her hands.

Carter: "You… you naughty man! Don't… don't look! Hmph!"

Everyone knew this playful tone was flirtatious.Howard smiled warmly.

Steve was somewhat flustered.Who would have guessed that Miss Carter would act so ambiguously right after he emerged from the chamber, still reveling in the sensation of being a super soldier?

Now, with Miss Carter watching, blushing… could it mean:

She actually has a crush on me!

Steve removed her hands from his eyes and looked at her.

Steve: "Miss Carter… you are…?"

She placed her hand on her chest and lowered her head in embarrassment.Both felt their hearts pounding.

Then, at the worst possible moment, Howard nudged him from the side.The romantic tension shattered.

Howard: "Hey, look! A new title on the screen!"Howard: "Hey, Steve, why are you like this?!"

Miss Carter rolled her eyes at Howard.The moment had been perfect, and he ruined it.She felt oddly relieved but also curious.She turned toward the floating screen.

A new title appeared:
