Judging by Leon's name and She smile on her face, Sharon understood that the other party did not intend to expose herself.
Until this moment, the big rock hanging in Sharon's heart was really let go.
In order to avoid being too nervous and showing unnecessary horse feet, Sharon exchanged a few words with the two before hurried down the stairs.
However, after Carter left, Steve stood still, as if thinking about something.
"What's wrong, are you still thinking about others?"
Not paying attention to his friend's ridicule, Steve just frowned slightly and said in a low voice:
"No, I just think she is a little different from usual…"
Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
definitely different!
Agents who are undercover operations, seeing people who know them stand with their lurking targets, no matter who they are, they are somewhat nervous and their heart beating faster…
Leon hadn't thought about revealing Sharon's undercover identity. He just thought about it for a moment, and then reminded:
"Maybe the hospital is more anxious…By the way, how long shall we stand in the corridor?"
When Leon was interrupted like this, the strangeness in Steve's heart disappeared.
"maybe…"
As soon as he finished speaking, Steve came to the front of the apartment, inserted the key into the door lock, "clicked", and opened the door of the apartment.
"come in!"
Although it was not the first time to come to Steve's new apartment, as soon as Leon walked into the apartment and into the living room, he still noticed the old vinyl record player on the table.
Flicking his brows, Leon asked casually while sitting on the sofa in the living room:
"How does the gift sound?"
The "gift" in Leon's words refers to the old-fashioned record player that seems to have a certain history.
It was not long ago, when Steve had his birthday, Leon specially selected him for his birthday.
He knows that although Steve has gradually adapted to all kinds of modern high-tech. However, in his bones, the blood of the old age is still flowing.
Compared to portable media players such as iPods and Walkmans, Steve still prefers to listen to the melodious melody engraved on vinyl through the speakers of the old-fashioned record player.
Hearing Leon's words, Steve glanced at the turntable and then smiled:
"The sound quality is very good, for listening to Dylan's songs, it has a special flavor."
"That's good…"
"beer?"
"Can."
After walking to the kitchen and taking Leon a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, Steve, who was also sitting on the sofa, said in a loud voice:
"You came here today to discuss music with me, right?"
Steve's words, obviously, are saying, "You kid, just say something and let it go!"
Upon hearing this, Leon smiled slightly, shrugged and said:
"Definitely not. I came today to introduce you to a friend."
"friend?"
"Yes, a friend who will definitely be very happy after you see it…"
In the word "friend", Leon deliberately increased his tone.
Just as Steve was puzzled, Leon took his personal phone from his pocket and pressed a series of numbers.
Soon, the phone was connected.
"It's me, come up now."
Leon just spoke to the other side of the phone and hung up.
Leon's slightly mysterious behavior made Steve feel curious about this upcoming friend.
Immediately, he asked in a joking tone:
"Aren't you planning to introduce your girlfriend to me?"
Leon picked up the beer, took a sip, then smiled mysteriously at Steve, "You'll find out later…"
The mysterious friend didn't let the two wait too long.
After a while, a sharp knock on the door suddenly sounded.
However, in the face of the knock on the door, Leon just stayed motionless, sitting leisurely on the sofa, and had no idea of getting up.
As the host, Steve raised his brows and said nothing, so he got up and walked towards the door.
He probably guessed that Leon wanted to introduce him to friends he knew, and he must have something to do with him.
Just as he was thinking, Steve came to the hallway, held the doorknob, twisted it slightly, and opened the door.
Standing in front of the door was a tall man wearing a hooded jacket.
It is worth mentioning that the face of the other party is looming under the cover of the hood on his head.
A sense of weirdness came out spontaneously.
However, before Steve could speak, the hooded man moved first!
I saw that he stretched out his right hand, moved to the head, and gently pushed, and then took off the hood that covered half of his face, revealing his entire face.
Long black hair, slightly vicissitudes of scum…
When Steve saw the other person's appearance, he was stunned for an instant as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Bucky?!"
With a startled Roar, he revealed the identity of the other party.
Standing in front of Steve is his best friend, Bucky Barnes like a brother!
Gazing at Steve's surprised face, Barnes couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, raising his right hand, and beckoning and said:
"Hi, long time no see, Steve!"
. . .
Even after Leon and Barnes' explanations, there is still a trace of disbelief in Steve's blue eyes.
He just stared closely at Barnes, a friend who thought he was dead, his tone was full of excitement:
"…In other words, you have been kept in the freezer by HYDRA. When you need you, you will be brainwashed and then perform various assassination missions?"
"Yes, I have been a knife of HYDRA for the past seventy years… Until Leon attacked the base and rescued me, I was truly out of HYDRA's control."
Listening to Barnes's narration, Steve's gaze couldn't help but moved to Leon, who was sitting aside.
"Leon, thank you very much, if it weren't for you…"
Before Steve could finish his words of sincere gratitude, Leon raised his hand and interrupted him aloud:
"You are welcome, your friend is my friend."
Hearing the words, Steve paused, couldn't help taking a deep look at Leon, then nodded.
After nodding, Leon noticed sharply that the favorability on Steve's head had changed from "love" to "intimacy"!
This shows how important Barnes's position in Steve's heart is…
It's worth mentioning that it was actually Leon who decided to let Winter Soldier and Captain America meet again after careful consideration.
In his opinion, since the existence of HYDRA has been confessed to everyone, there is no need to continue to hide the fact that Bucky is still alive from Steve.
Moreover, the reunion of the two is a good thing for Steve and Barnes.
The two souls from the old era support each other in the unfamiliar environment of the new era.
In this way, two people in the same situation will not be so lonely…
