A group of people gathered around a long wooden table made of red mahogany with an open map and a confidential document in front of them.
"After a lengthy and necessary introduction, Luke spoke with a deep voice, "Steve, aren't you always asking me what happened?"
"I will now share this top-secret information with all of you. Berlin has produced Aryan Supermen, who are more powerful than Super Soldiers. Their technology comes from the cutting-edge technology of alien species."
"Thanks to Ms. Stephanie, who brought back 'Wöden's Blood' from Berlin, and copies of the ancient documents, the Allies have the capital to fight against it now. "
"After discussion, the Allies are also preparing to make Supermen deal with the threat from the Third Reich. Both crystal cultivation and candidate screening are being carried out simultaneously. "
"..."
For a while, the office was tranquil, with only one person breathing.
Luke's words were so informative that they took a minute to digest them.
"So, the war isn't over yet?"
Rogers pursed his lips. It seems that the plan to search for Bucky will be put on hold.
"Luke, is there anything I can do? Maybe, I'm not as good as the 'tank-class' and 'battleship-class' you mentioned, but I won't back down as long as I can fight!"
As expected of Captain America, every word was on the mark.
And even Colonel Phillips, who had never been much of an admirer of his, showed a hint of respect.
'Rogers has a passive skill. His leadership aura. '
Unaffected, Luke, who has an immune effect, quietly thought so.
"I can join the fight and the Howling Commandos. They'll be happy to come back under your wing. "
Colonel Philips said so. He was still alive and well, could still carry a gun, and contribute toward the Allied forces.
Luke glanced at it without showing any expression and felt that the Colonel's old arms and legs might not be enough to go against 'tank-class' Aryan Supermen that showed everyone a 'ripping a living man apart' show.
"All of you, don't rush. This is not pre-war mobilization. "
The young Brigadier General shook his head.
"The competition and confrontation between the Allied Forces and the Third Reich have turned into a rivalry and slaying between the top fighting forces. "
"Stephanie and I have seen those Aryan Supermen with our own eyes. To be fair, they are powerful. They aren't an existence that ordinary soldiers can go against. "
"Blind fervor will only make more people make unnecessary sacrifices. It's not worth it. "
Luke's reply made two soldiers, one old and one young, somewhat depressed.
Rogers, in particular, always felt that he had done nothing in this war.
The present situation is no different from before.
In the previous Brooklyn trio, he was always the one who was protected.
Today, too.
"But--"
Immediately afterward, Luke's conversation changed, and his eyes turned to Rogers with his head down. He asked seriously, "Steve, tell me, do you want to be stronger?"
'Get stronger? '
Rogers paused and fell silent.
As a super-soldier, he has a muscular physique and fantastic endurance.
It was a top-notch force on the battlefield that could raid the enemy's lair with one against and one hundred and chop off the enemies' heads.
In the future, after a long period of training, he could hold a helicopter with his bare hands and almost resist the Infinity Gauntlet.
He would be able to lift Thor's hammer and the vibranium shield to form a legendary golden set in the future. He could arm wrestle with Thanos. A 50-50 split battle.
Such a strong Super Soldier, ultimately, a dominant player during World War II.
'How do I get stronger?'
It's just that--
Reality is always cruel. It's just that friendly forces and enemies all have Supermen, making Rogers a foil in the background.
He should have become the strongest and bravest Super Soldier in everyone's eyes, without thinking about becoming stronger at all.
With Luke on the Allied side and Aryan Supermen on the Axis side.
Captain America, who was destined to shine brilliantly and become a national icon, only accomplished the latter.
The military didn't value him, and he had no chance to show his worth, just like a performer on stage, acting as a backdrop for another star.
It's optional, but not significant.
As a Super Soldier, Rogers couldn't remember how many times and how many people asked himself, 'Why are you so different from Luke?'
He could smash a tank, break into Hydra's base camp, and wasn't even afraid of energy weapons. But you can only throw your shield -- such questions never went away!
Gradually, this became a problem that Rogers couldn't overcome.
Later, just thinking about people putting him and Luke together, the highly motivated and energetic Captain America would become very self-conscious.
'Am I that bad?'
Rogers kept asking himself in his heart.
He was initially a positive and persistent person who would never give up.
However, the apparent disparity in front of the public and the criticism from public opinion that was heard from time to time still made Rogers feel pressured.
He often pondered alone in the middle of the night. Was Dr. Erskine more optimistic about Luke, as everyone said, and he was just an unexpected bonus?
Or, Luke was injected with an enhanced version of the second-generation serum, while he was a first-generation product that wasn't as effective as the former?
That's why he couldn't become a powerful super soldier like his best friend!?
All kinds of guesses and thoughts tormented the immature Captain America and made it difficult for him to sleep.
Until now!
Luke asked himself, 'Do you want to be stronger?'
"Yeah!"
Rogers nodded heavily, and his intense emotion condensed into a 'Yes.'
Even when he was in Brooklyn and was bullied, he never yearned to be stronger so much, as he did right now!
