"Peggy, how have you lived these years?"
Steve sat on the lawn, holding Peggy in his arms, looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and asked softly.
"My, these years have been wonderful." There was a trace of emotion on Peggy's face, and she put her head on Steve's shoulder affectionately, and said slowly, "After you left, it didn't take long for Howard to make a plan, and luckily, everything was resolved."
"Later, we jointly established the Strategic Hazard Intervention and Intelligence Logistics Division, which is now the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Steve listened to Peggy talk about her experiences over the years in an understated manner and subconsciously held Peggy tightly.
Although it sounded simple to him and there was no big problem, how could he not hear the pain inside?
In their era, women had always been discriminated against. Peggy and Howard being able to create S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time was no small feat. The difficulties involved must have been enormous. When he thought about it, he could feel Peggy's struggles during that time.
However, hearing the proud tone in Peggy's words, he was both sad and proud.
What was sad was that Peggy had gone through a difficult journey without him.
What made him proud was that Peggy is a remarkable woman, and he was happy for her to have achieved such greatness.
"In the late 1980s, the Strategic Hazard Intervention and Intelligence Logistics Division was undergoing transformation, and later its name was officially changed to the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
"After that, I retired, and Howard died in a car accident. Later, Alexander Pierce and Nick Fury took over my position."
Hearing this, Steve was stunned for a moment. He frowned and asked, "Peggy, what happened to Howard? Did I hear that right?"
Peggy looked at Steve's frown, raised her thin hand, slowly smoothed it, and said softly, "Yes, you just woke up not long ago, and you don't know much. Howard did die in a car accident."
Hearing this, Steve sighed.
In the past 70 years, many friends had either died or disappeared. Like his good friend Bucky, something happened to him even before Steve fell asleep.
Now, the only person he knew well was Peggy.
Thinking of this, Steve hugged Peggy tightly, fearing that she would leave him again.
Peggy heard Steve sigh slightly and suddenly said, "Steve, promise me. Ignore S.H.I.E.L.D.'s affairs from now on and try to meet Nick Fury as little as possible?"
As she said that, she held Steve's face in her hands and stared at him closely.
When Steve heard Peggy's request, he was stunned for a moment, and his intuition told him that there must be a problem.
But seeing Peggy's bright eyes mixed with a hint of pleading, his heart softened and he was about to nod in agreement.
Suddenly
"Coo! Coo! Coo!"
Hearing the voice coming from his ears, Steve's attention suddenly shifted, and he looked to the left.
What caught his eye was a cute creature with fluffy dark blue hair, a pair of small blue wings on both sides of the body, and a silver-white collar hanging around its neck, similar to a dodo bird.
After Peggy saw it, surprise also revealed in her eyes.
Women, even when they are older, will still develop a love for cute things.
"Coo! Coo!"
Seeing the two of them, especially Peggy, Sunny ran forward excitedly, the small collar around his neck jingling.
Well, according to Sunny's experience, women are the most talkative, and there are many good things to get from them, and some of its requests are difficult to refuse.
Peggy saw Sunny running up to her, stretching out his wings and gently patting her thigh.
Feeling the tickling sensation on her thigh, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she stretched out her hand to gently stroke Sunny's furry dark blue hair.
Sunny, on the other hand, jumped directly into Peggy's arms and rubbed his head affectionately.
Steve, who was next to her, saw the intimate interaction between Peggy and Sunny, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
Then, he looked at the silver-white collar around Sunny's neck with interest.
Obviously, this cute creature is Professor Lockhart's pet. Generally speaking, only pets wear collars.
Steve hugged Peggy, gently lifted the collar around Sunny's neck with his fingers, and looked at the words on it carefully.
After reading the text clearly, Steve laughed softly.
The collar read: "I want to lose weight, please don't give me food."
Obviously, this is what Professor Lockhart wrote on the collar. It seems that this pet has been fed too much food.
Otherwise, Professor Lockhart would not have specifically reminded this.
"Is your name Sunny?" Peggy also saw the writing on the collar, and with a smile on her face, she held Sunny in her hands, raised it in front of her, and asked softly.
"Coo. Coo."
Feeling the collar around his neck being lifted up, Sunny nodded excitedly, indicating that he was indeed called that name.
There was a flash of surprise in the two people's eyes when they looked at Sunny as if he could understand what they were saying.
But then they thought about Lockhart's identity, and it suddenly dawned on them.
Then, Peggy said tentatively, "Are you Professor Lockhart's pet? If so, just shake your head."
After hearing the meaning behind Peggy's question, Sunny thought for a moment, shook his head, and raised his head proudly to show that he understood what the other party meant.
I am very smart.
I can understand everything you say, but you can't understand what I say.
Then Sunny shook the collar around his neck and rubbed Peggy's arm with the collar around his neck.
Seeing Sunny's cute behavior, Peggy laughed out loud and stretched out her fingers to gently touch his head.
It was like a compliment: Sunny, you are so smart!
Sunny clearly sensed the compliment in Peggy's heart and felt happy. Sunny took a step back and stood in front of Peggy.
Puff! Puff!
He flapped his little wings vigorously and slowly flew up, but it was a little wobbly. Wonder if it was because he was a little too fat.
Watching Sunny soar into the sky and fly in front of them to show off, Steve and Peggy hugged each other and smiled as they watched the cute creature perform for them.
Sunny flew in front of the two of them and shook the collar around his neck in annoyance, making a jingling sound.
As if telling the two of them that the collar made him very uncomfortable.
After Steve and Peggy saw it, they did not understand what Sunny meant. Instead, they thought the tinkling sound was quite pleasant.
After seeing that the two of them were motionless, Sunny tilted his head in distress.
Landing in front of Peggy, Sunny stretched out his wings and pointed at the collar around his neck to remind her.
After Peggy saw it, she seemed to understand a little and asked softly, "Sunny, do you want us to help you untie the collar?"
Hearing Peggy's words, Sunny nodded wildly, indicating that she was right and that's what he meant.
But Peggy was a little hesitant. It seemed that Professor Lockhart had put it on his pet. Would it be appropriate to take it off herself?
As if sensing Peggy's hesitation, Sunny ran to Peggy's hand and rubbed Peggy's hand with the collar around his neck.
Peggy felt the cold touch of the collar and the tickling on her hands.
She raised Sunny with great interest, placed him in front of her, and then observed the collar carefully.
The words on the collar had been seen before, but the entire collar was silver-white and seemed to be completely locked without any cracks.
Although there seemed to be no trace on the surface, she could feel some lines inside when she touched it.
Carefully groping along the lines, she quickly found a raised spot, which Peggy guessed might be an on or off button.
However, the way to open it was obviously very special. She tried pressing it hard and found that it had no effect at all. Maybe she needed to use magic to open the collar.
In fact, this is a magic collar that Lockhart made at random, infused with magic power, and can be turned on by pressing a button at the same time. It can also be turned off by the same operation.
Very simple, this is mainly because Lockhart wanted to make it easy for Coffy to turn it on and off.
For Sunny, it was difficult. Even though Sunny had magic power, his wings couldn't even touch it. How could he open it?
As for Coffy, Coffy follows the instructions of its master Lockhart. As long as Sunny can exercise on time every day, then Coffy will open the collar after Sunny loses weight and let Sunny move freely.
If Sunny doesn't wear the collar, he won't be fed.
At the beginning, the effect was very good. Sunny insisted on exercising every day in order to eat and move freely.
But later, Sunny started to rebel.
As long as Coffy carried it, Sunny didn't want to move. Anyway, when the time came, he could eat delicious food and didn't need to exercise.
Looking at Sunny, Coffy had no choice but to prepare food for his master's pet.
Later, when Coffy informed Lockhart, Lockhart was a little helpless. Sunny was like a child.
According to the contract, he couldn't hit him, and scolding him didn't work.
Lockhart couldn't think of any good way anymore. After all, Sunny was already worn out, so he could only reduce the other person's weight by restricting food every day.
This made Sunny, who was already a bit spoiled, completely unhappy, and there was less delicious food.
Peggy felt relieved after feeling unable to open it.
To be honest, this is Professor Lockhart's pet after all. If she opened it, it was a little unreasonable.
But without opening it, she felt a little awkward looking at Sunny who was trying so hard to be cute in front of her.
So, she whispered to Sunny in front of her, "Sunny, I can't open this collar. It's better to wait until your master Lockhart comes, and I'll talk to him about it."
Hearing this, Sunny was a little troubled. In his perception, the other party seemed to be telling the truth and not lying.
This made him look a little sad, his head drooped, and his wings were retracted.
Then, he suddenly raised his head and his eyes lit up, as if he thought of something.
He flapped his wings, pointed at the collar around his neck, rubbed his head against Peggy, and nodded.
This made Peggy a little confused. She picked up the collar again and prepared to tell Sunny that she really couldn't open it.
"Sunny, look, it really can't be opened. It's better to wait for Lockhart to come back and I'll talk to him." With that said, Peggy pressed the raised button on the collar again to show that she really had no choice.
But
Click! Click! Click!
This time, Sunny was very smart. He poured his magic power into the collar in advance and waited for Peggy to press the button.
In an instant, the collar around his neck clicked open.
Feeling that the collar completely disappeared with the spatial suppression, Sunny waved his wings in excitement.
In an instant, blue light flashed.
Under the watchful eyes of Peggy and Steve, he teleported.
Immediately afterward, blue light flashed several times, and Sunny teleported in mid-air excitedly.
Steve, who had been watching from the side, felt a little bad. He had been watching Peggy interact with Sunny just now. He felt very curious and didn't say anything.
However, now, looking at Sunny who seemed to be let go and very excited, both of them had some bad premonitions in their hearts.
Sunny sensed the emotions in the two people's hearts and teleported directly over, landing in front of them.
Sunny chirped several times in succession and waved its wings, as if to comfort them. It was okay and the keeper would not say anything more.
Huh, I was eating well, but I am a little fatter, not much, so why do I need to exercise?
Running is very tiring.
Seeing that Sunny didn't leave but instead ran forward and said hello cutely, Steve and Peggy slowly felt relieved.
Just bring Sunny and Lockhart to explain later, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Anyway, Sunny was right in front of them and didn't run away.
Peggy looked at Sunny, gently touched Sunny's little wings, and secretly marveled.
She had just observed that every time Sunny flapped his wings, a blue light would flash, and then he would teleport.
Crossing space is an ability that many people dream of. Unexpectedly, it is found in this cute creature.
At this moment, Steve seemed to have thought of something and took out some snacks from his pocket.
These were originally meant for Steve to satisfy his cravings and replenish some energy after his usual training.
Sunny's eyes lit up when he saw the snacks Steve took out. They looked delicious.
He quickly flapped his wings, and with a flash of blue light, he teleported to Steve. He looked at the snacks in Steve's hands and screamed cutely at Steve.
Waving his wings and pointing to the snacks in front of him, he seemed to be telling Steve: I want to eat, I want to eat.
Seeing Sunny's cute movements, Steve instantly understood. Peggy next to him also watched this scene with a smile on her face.
Sure enough, the words on the collar just now were correct. Sunny's favorite thing is food.
Steve naturally wouldn't refuse when he saw this.
He opened the small bag in his hand, poured out a few chocolate beans of different colors, and put them in the palm of his hand.
Sunny poked his head, gently touched the red chocolate beans on Steve's palm, and smelled them, as if he could feel the sweet taste inside.
He ate one in one bite.
Hey, it tastes surprisingly good.
Sunny's eyes lit up, and he ate all the chocolate beans in Steve's palm in several bites.
Peggy saw Sunny's cute eating, and quickly took the snacks from Steve's hand, dropped a few, and placed them in front of Sunny.
After Sunny saw it, he excitedly ate it again.
Steve and Peggy looked at Sunny, who looked very cute even when he was eating food, with faint smiles on their faces.
Cute animals always resonate emotionally with people.
Then Sunny focused on other snacks, flapped his wings, and teleported to the snacks.
As if to remind the two of them: I want to try this!
Seeing Sunny's cute behavior, the two of them naturally wouldn't refuse.
Then the two of them chatted and slowly fed Sunny snacks.
After a while, suddenly
Sunny tilted his head and shouted, waving his wings, as if to remind the two of them that someone was coming.
As the two of them turned their heads, a red flame-colored portal quietly opened.
Lockhart stepped out.
At the same time
Sunny quickly shouted at Lockhart a few times, then flapped his wings and teleported away before the portal closed.
Well, he is as smart as he is, but he knows that the outside world has a lot of delicious food.
At this moment, Lockhart looked at Sunny's leaving figure and at the same time sensed the message from the contract. He shook his head helplessly, but didn't care about anything.
He is not worried about Sunny's safety. With his intuition and teleportation, it is difficult for any creature to catch him.
And through the contract, he can sense Sunny's position at any time, and just wait until he gets tired of playing and pick him up.
In recent days, through the contract, he also felt that Sunny was a little depressed.
It's better to let him vent, and then exercise slowly after he comes back.
Children, don't push too hard, take your time.
Thoughts flashed, and Lockhart saw Steve and Peggy looking a little surprised and apologetic when they saw Sunny leave.
He quickly comforted, "Steve, Peggy, it's okay. Sunny just went out to play. It's normal."
Well, after playing, he has to start exercising, and he can't let it continue to rebel.
Then, Lockhart said to Steve, "Steve, let's talk about Ms. Peggy."
