Become stronger?
Rogers was stunned for a moment and fell into silence.
As a Super Soldier, he is physically strong and has amazing endurance.
When put on the battlefield, it is a high-end combat power that can defeat one against a hundred, raid the enemy's lair, and perform beheading missions.
In the future, after long-term training, it will be easy to hold the helicopter with bare hands and resist Infinity Gauntlet.
In the future, collect Thor's hammer and Vibranium shield to form a golden legendary suit. You can also compete with Thanos to a 50-50 tie.
Such an extremely powerful Super Soldier is completely the dominant player in the World War II era.
How else to become stronger?
It's just——
The reality is always cruel. However, both friendly and enemy forces have Superman, making Rogers a complete background.
He should have become the strongest and bravest Super Soldier in people's eyes, without having to think about becoming stronger at all.
On the Allied side there are Luke, Axis Powers and Aryan Superman.
Destined to shine and become the idol of United States, Captain America only accomplished the latter.
He was not taken seriously by the military, and he had no chance to show himself. He was like a performer on the stage who served as a backdrop for a star.
Dispensable, not important.
I can't remember how many times we are both Super Soldier and Rogers. How many people have asked themselves, why are you so different from Luke?
He can smash a tank, break into the Hydra base camp, and is not even afraid of amazingly powerful energy weapons, while you can only throw a shield - such doubts have never disappeared!
Gradually, this became a problem that Rogers couldn't get around.
Later, whenever he thought about others putting him and Luke together, the high-spirited and energetic Captain America would become very autistic.
"Am I too bad?"
Rogers kept asking himself in his heart.
He was originally a positive and persistent person who would never give up.
But the obvious gap before the public, as well as the public criticism that comes to our ears from time to time, still makes Rogers feel heavy pressure.
He often thinks alone late at night, is it as everyone said, Dr. Erskine is more optimistic about Luke, and he is just a free gift?
Or could it be said that what Luke injected was actually an enhanced version of the second-generation serum, and he was a first-generation product that was not as effective as the former?
That's why I can't become a more powerful Super Soldier like my friends!
Various speculations and thoughts tortured Captain America who was not yet mature enough, making it difficult for him to sleep.
Until now!
Luke Ask yourself, do you want to become stronger?
"Think!"
Rogers nodded heavily, the intense emotions in his heart condensed into a "yes".
Even when he was bullied in Brooklyn before, he never had the desire to become stronger like he does at this moment!
"You can only become stronger by spending money, Rogers, you haven't realized this yet."
Luke thought that the cost of cultivating 'Wardun's Blood' was not low, it could even be said to be quite expensive.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Berlin has not successfully mass-produced Aryan Superman.
Apart from technical constraints, the success rate is low and there are also cost issues.
"Then you can become a candidate for the 'Allied Superman' program."
Luke gathered his thoughts, coughed, and said seriously, "But I want to remind you, Rogers, this is not a serum injection that can be overcome by relying on a strong will and a firm mind."
"Accepting the human body modification of 'Wardun's Blood' is a very dangerous process."
"Its success rate is extremely low and it must survive multiple mutations. The third mutation is 'Tank-class', and the twenty-fourth mutation is 'Battleship-class'."
"And Ms. Stephanie also said that the transformation plan of 'Wardun's Blood' may cause great damage to the human body and shorten the life cycle - you must think carefully!"
Luke solemnly reminds you that Superman is not that easy to be.
He didn't know in which direction he would take Captain America's fate.
No matter what, Rogers, who has not been frozen for seventy years, has gained a new life.
The next step is to be mentally prepared to face the unknown.
"I've already thought about it!"
Rogers has a fearless and determined expression on his face. He will always look like this anyway.
Once you set a goal, you will never look back and move forward.
"Okay then, let's discuss the next question."
Luke nodded and said nothing more.
This secret meeting of Strategic Scientific Reserve lasted for two hours.
It should have ended fifty minutes ago, but Colonel Phillips said that he wanted to say a few words next.
Then, the topic continued to expand and the content continued to increase.
It wasn't until Luke gently reminded him that it was getting late that the colonel stopped talking, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
"Steve, you stay."
When everyone walked out of the office room, Luke called out to Rogers who looked excited.
"I want to have a good talk with you. Well, let's start with the blond girl at the ball. Her name is...Margie, right? How are you two? Have you been in contact recently?"
Luke leaned back in the chair and asked in a relaxed tone.
"Yes. Everyone thought the war was about to end. She is a Scotland girl, so she returned to Edinburgh early... We sometimes write letters to each other."
Rogers pulled out the chair and sat down. He scratched his head and said a little unspeakably, "But you know, Luke. I'm not very good at chatting, and I can't write any funny jokes, so I'm very distressed."
Captain America, who is in love for the first time, is no different from ordinary people.
No, to be more precise, he might be a little worse than a lot of people.
After all, Luke really can't imagine Rogers, who has always been a serious person, with an affectionate face and disgusting words.
"There is no need to show off your humor. You are not Howard. You can just talk about the little things that happen in your life. Just let that lucky girl feel that you care."
Luke smiled, and then said seriously, "Steve, we are friends."
"So, I don't want my existence to cause you... pressure. I know that there are speculations and rumors circulating in the army about Super Soldier, about me and you. They said some unpleasant things."
"But I told you a long time ago that Dr. Erskine is more optimistic about you, rather than like others say, you just come with gifts."
"Steve, you have some qualities that I don't have and don't have."
"To be honest, I'm not a good person in the true sense. Everything I do has my own considerations, either for profit or personal interest - I never show meaningless mercy to my enemies, nor do I show any sympathy for the weak."
"Therefore, I lack the elements to be a hero, and I have no interest in doing this. In comparison, I am actually more similar to Howard. We are both keen on leading others, standing at a higher level, and being the decision-maker who gives orders."
Luke stared deeply at Rogers. He did not hide his true nature, just like Caspian Training Camp did not hide his abilities.
If we say, this world is destined to be an era of superheroes in the future.
Then he is more inclined to be a protector, controller, and containment.
Instead of putting on that armor and red cloak, busy every day returning the kitten in the tree to its owner, rescuing the crashed plane, the ship in distress...
To sum up, Luke has no intention of becoming a superhero as a career.
He also didn't want to see Captain America, so he took the risk to join the "Allied Superman" plan because he wanted to catch up in his footsteps.
After hearing all this, Rogers stopped smiling and became silent.
After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "I have to admit that you have put a lot of pressure on me, Luke."
"Although we are friends, I still envy you sometimes. What I long for is not the honors you get, nor the admiring looks from others, but your ability to always rush to others when they need it."
"When I was at Brooklyn, Bucky was often surrounded by those gangsters. I couldn't help him, and I became a drag. It's different now that I know you. You always have a way to deal with all kinds of troubles, street gangsters, bootleggers, and gangsters. Over time, Bucky and I are used to looking for you whenever we have problems."
"I did have the idea of chasing you, Luke. But then the idea quickly disappeared, because no matter how good or powerful you are, you will always be my friend. Who would be jealous of a friend's achievements."
A smile appeared at the corner of Rogers's mouth, and he looked at Luke, who had a calm face, and said sincerely, "I long to become stronger. I just want to have the power to help. At least when you need me, I can stand up and don't have to let you fight alone."
There was a brief silence in the office, and after a moment, a burst of hearty laughter could be heard.
