Chapter 93 - 091 | A Heart To Heart Chat
'Kryptonians are inherently strong. Rogers, you haven't understood this truth yet.'
It occurred to Luke that the cost of breeding 'Wöden's Blood' wasn't low and could even be considered expensive. ??
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Berlin hasn't successfully mass-produced Aryan Supermen.
In addition to technical constraints, the success rate was also low, and there were cost problems.
"Then you can become a candidate for the 'Allied Supermen' program. "
Luke collected his thoughts, coughed, and earnestly said, "But I want to remind you. Rogers, this isn't a serum injection that you can survive with a strong will and a firm mind alone. "
"Receiving 'Wöden's Blood' is a difficult process. '
"Its success rate is shallow, and you have to survive multiple mutations. The 3rd variation is 'tank-class,' and the 24th variation is 'battleship-class.' "
"And, Ms. Stephanie also said that the 'Wöden's Blood' transformation procedure might cause great damage to the human body and shorten the life cycle —— you should think about it!"
Luke solemnly reminded him, turning into a Superman wasn't easy.
He has no idea what direction fate would take Captain America to.
Anyway, Rogers, who hasn't been frozen for 70 years, has been given a brand-new life.
The next step is to prepare for the unknown.
"I have thought it over!"
Rogers has a fearless and resolute expression on his face. Anyway, he will always look like this.
Once he had set a goal, he would rush forward and never turn back.
"Well, then, let's move on to the next question. "
Luke nodded and didn't say anything else.
…
The secret meeting of the Strategic Science Reserve lasted for 2 hours.
It should have ended 50 minutes ago, but Colonel Philips said he wanted to make a few brief remarks.
Then, the conversation continued to expand, and the content kept growing.
It wasn't until Luke tactfully reminded that it was getting late that the Colonel stopped talking, and everyone else was relieved.
"Steve, you stay. "
When everyone walked out of the office, Luke called out to an excited-looking Rogers.
"I want to have a good talk with you. Well, let's start with the blonde girl at the party. Her name was … Margery, right? How are you two doing? Have you been in touch recently?"
Luke leaned back and asked in a relaxed tone.
"Yeah. Everyone thought that the war was coming to an end. She was a Scottish girl, so she returned to Edinburgh early … We sometimes write letters to each other. "
Rogers pulled out his chair and sat down. He scratched his head and said, "But you know, Luke. I'm not very good at talking, and I can't write any funny jokes. So, I'm frustrated. "
Captain America, who fell in love for the first time, was no different from ordinary people.
No, to be honest, he might be worse than a lot of people.
After all, Luke really couldn't imagine the always serious Rogers, smoothly spit out loving words.
"You don't have to show your humor. You're not Howard. You can talk about the little things that happen in life and let the lucky girl feel that you care. "
Luke smiled and then seriously said, "Steve, we're friends. "
"So, I don't want my existence to put pressure on you. I know speculations and rumors circulating in the military about Super Soldiers, me, and you. They said some ugly things. "
"But I told you a long time ago. Dr. Erskine was more optimistic about you. It wasn't like all those people said; you weren't just a side bonus. "
"Steve, there are some qualities in you that I don't have and don't possess."
"Frankly speaking, I'm not a good person in the true sense of the word. I do everything with my own considerations, either in terms of interests or personal interests - I never give meaningless pity to the enemy, nor do I give ignorant sympathy to the weak. "
"Therefore, I lack the qualities to be a hero. I'm not interested in being one. In comparison, I am a little more similar to Howard. We are both passionate about leading people, standing taller, and being the decision-maker who gives the orders. "
Luke stared at Rogers deeply. He didn't hide his nature, just like he didn't hide his ability in Camp Lehigh.
If we say that the future of this world is destined to be an era of superheroes.
Then he prefers to be a protector, a controller, and a receiver.
Instead of wearing the armor and red cloak, busy every day getting the kitten down from the tree and back to its owner, save a plane from crashing, or save a ship from sinking …
Generally speaking, Luke had no intention of taking on the superhero career.
He didn't want to see Captain America because he wanted to catch up to him, venture into the 'Allied Superman' program.
After hearing all this, Rogers restrained his smile and turned silent.
After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "I have to admit, you've been putting a lot of pressure on me, Luke. "
"Although we're friends, I still envy you sometimes. What I long for isn't the glory you get or the adoring eyes of others, but the ability to always be the first to rush in when others need you. "
"When I was in Brooklyn, Bucky was always surrounded by gangsters, and I couldn't help him. I dragged him down. After knowing you, it's different. You've always had a way of dealing with problems, street thugs, bootleggers, and gangsters. As time goes by, Bucky and I were used to looking for you whenever there was a problem. "
"I did have the idea of catching up with you, Luke. However, this idea soon disappeared because no matter how good or powerful you are, you will always be my friend. Who would be jealous of their friend's achievements? "
A smile appeared at the corner of Rogers' mouth as he looked at Luke with a calm face and sincerely said, "I want to be strong, just to have the power to help. At least when you need me, I could stand up, so you wouldn't have to fight alone."
There was a brief silence in the office. After a while, a hearty laugh came out.
