Chapter 524 Bad news! Agent Carter's life is in danger...?

A few months later——

Just like the previous battle in New York that shocked the world, people accustomed to being busy quickly forgot about the chaos in London a few months ago.

Only a few people who have personally experienced the thrill still use it as a conversation piece after drinking, sharing what they saw and heard with their relatives and friends.

Everything seems to be developing in a good direction. Even the Avengers, who were so busy last year, feel a long-lost sense of relief at the beginning of the new year.

Crime and war are decreasing, and countries on the surface seem to be more prosperous. Even Russia and the United States, which used to be at odds with each other openly and secretly, have rarely publicly shaken hands and made peace in some aspects.

Many people think that this peaceful and prosperous age will last for a long time, but only Leni knows that this short-term peace is just the calm before the storm...

In late March 2014, just when everyone thought they could take a good vacation and rest, a piece of bad news suddenly came from London.

"Miss Leni, my aunt is dying, please save her!"

On the holographic screen, Sharon Carter anxiously explained the sudden bad news from her family, begging Leni to come to London as soon as possible, and hoping that she could use that magical alchemical potion to save her aunt's life.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, everyone present couldn't help but turn their attention to Leni and Steve.

"Skye! Simmons! Let's go!"

Almost as soon as she heard what happened, Leni got up and ran to the apron downstairs, so that Skye and Simmons, who were called, didn't even have time to pack their things, and rushed into the elevator together.

Before the elevator closed, Leni glanced at Steve who was standing there blankly, wanting to see if the latter would follow.

However, Steve was still stunned and showed no intention of moving, so Leni sighed and simply ignored him.

"I'll fly the plane, Jarvis, and connect the communications channel to my personal terminal."

"Connection established."

Quickly running into the cockpit of Tony's newly improved Aegis 13 fighter, Leni skillfully sat in the driver's seat and started each engine of the fighter.

After Tony's improvements, this originally two-seat S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet has been completely transformed into a new high-tech fighter that can be controlled by a single person.

The two huge turbofan engines on the original wings have disappeared and been replaced by Tony's newly developed small anti-gravity engines.

While the carrying coefficient remains basically unchanged, the performance of the entire fighter jet has been greatly improved!

The flight speed alone is more than double that of the original Aegis 13 fighter!

"Skye, inform Coulson, tell him what happened, and let Nick Fury be mentally prepared. After all, this matter concerns the entire SHIELD..."

The life of the last of the three SHIELD veterans is at stake. No matter what, SHIELD needs to give some reaction.

However, just when Leni was about to close the hatch and prepare to take off, Steve's voice came from the tarmac behind her:

"Wait a moment!"

Hearing the sound, the corners of Leni's mouth curved slightly, and then she stopped pressing her left hand on the hatch control button.

"team leader……"

Simmons looked at Steve who hurriedly followed him, and felt something in his heart for a moment.

I thought that if one day in the future I was dying, would Fitz come to see me so desperately?

Steve, who followed, obviously couldn't guess what Simmons was thinking. He was so focused on going to see Peggy right away that he could only see Leni sitting in the driver's seat at the moment.

"Please take me to see her again!"

Skye opened her mouth after hearing this, wanting to say something, but then looked at Leni in the driver's seat in front of her, and finally suppressed the depression in her chest and said nothing.

Since Leni said that Steve's matter must be resolved by himself, Skye had no choice but to respect it.

There was no way, who could have thought that this was also what the old man meant?

What makes Skye a little strange is that the old man had met Leni a few months ago, so why did the news of his impending death come so quickly?

Skye watched Leni's back as she skillfully piloted a fighter plane to take off, and couldn't help but secretly make a guess in her heart.

……

At the same time, in the SHIELD Trident headquarters in Washington, DC, Coulson immediately found Nick Fury after receiving the news.

However, the location was in the office of Alexander Pierce, the current member of the Security Council...

"Sorry, Director, Mr. Director, the bureau just received some bad news..."

After getting Nick Fury's signal, and considering that Mr. Pierce was not an outsider, Coulson simply explained what happened directly in front of the latter.

"Leni just sent a message saying that Agent Carter has relapsed seriously and his life seems to be in danger at any time..."

As soon as these words came out, Nick Fury and Pierce all stood up from their seats, with a look of surprise on their faces.

"How is that possible? Didn't that guy guarantee that he would never relapse after using the alchemy potion?"

Nick Fury's face was full of suspicion, he glanced at Pierce beside him, and after thinking about it, he sat back down again.

"Contact Leni and ask her to clarify the matter for me! It concerns the last veteran of SHIELD, and she must give me her best effort!"

"Well, Leni is already on her way to London. She is expected to arrive within 2 hours."

Colson nodded in agreement with a ruthless expression, then looked at Pierce calmly, and then politely exited the office of the Security Council director.

After Colson left, Pierce, who had been silent, finally spoke:

"Fury, what do you think about this? That little girl from the Stark family..."

Nick Fury raised his eyes to meet Pierce's gaze, his expression unchanged.

"She is not suitable to sit in this position yet. If the old man really fails to survive this time, then it will be a test for her to see how well she can cope with the disadvantage."

Pierce pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then nodded in agreement with Nick Fury's statement.

"Okay, I also think she is too young. With Agent Carter's backing, she acted unscrupulously in the bureau. She even didn't even say hello when she met me..."

At this point, Pierce paused, then chuckled and shook his head.

"This is a trivial matter. It's not that I can't understand the young people's anger. It just needs more polishing."

"Well, that's what I thought too. She's still a little young."

For a time, two men with different agendas came to an almost unanimous conclusion after a long-lost discussion on whether Leni was qualified for the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

……

More than an hour later, in a private estate in the outer suburbs of London——

Leni and others released the Quinjet from stealth mode and slowly landed in the open space in the manor.

Unlike the previous times they came here, they did not encounter any difficulties.

It seemed that Sharon had already notified the news that Leni and others would be coming. Even when they saw Steve's appearance, the relatives and servants did not show any surprise.

Leni and the other two had an unobstructed journey, and soon saw Sharon Carter, who had been wandering in front of the villa.

"You are finally here. Auntie has just been sent to the intensive care unit. Her condition seems to be very bad. The doctor said that there is a risk of further deterioration at any time..." Sharon Carter's face was full of anxiety, as if Agent Carter was ready at any time. It may be life-threatening.

Never expecting to hear her say that, Steve became even more panicked. He walked straight past Leni, who was walking in front, and came slightly in front of Sharon:

"So how is Peggy now? Can I go in and see her?"

Sharon looked a little ugly when she heard this, thinking to herself, when did you actually cause trouble here?

Seeing the dissatisfaction in Sharon's eyes, Leni quickly held down Steve who was roaring.

"Captain, I know you care about Agent Carter, and I know you are anxious, but now is not the time for us to act recklessly. Please let us figure out the situation first..."

After being reminded by Leni, Steve, who had fallen into his own world, realized how offensive his behavior just now was. He hurriedly apologized in a deep voice, and then retreated behind Leni, looking at the person next to her with longing eyes. Closed door.

After appeasing the infatuated lover, Leni looked at Sharon again. After obtaining the other party's consent, she followed the latter into the villa alone.

As for Steve and others, they were led to the reception room by the servants to wait for the news.

Don't ask why the old man didn't go to the hospital even though he was dying. As a former veteran of S.H.I.E.L.D., it was only a piece of cake to arrange an ICU ward in a huge manor villa.

"Captain, don't worry. With Leni here, Agent Carter will be fine."

Skye comforted Steve, who looked worried. In her opinion, if Leni couldn't save someone, then no one in the world could.

However, these words were particularly harsh to the ears of the servant leading the way.

Although the past between Agent Carter and Captain America is no secret, but if you say such things on someone else's territory without any scruples, are you really not afraid of someone talking nonsense?

However, Captain America, who is currently focused on praying for Peggy Carter, can't notice this.

The words were divided into two parts, and the perspective refocused on Leni, who followed Sharon to the intensive care unit...

Nodding politely to the relatives waiting in the corridor, Leni had already changed into a white coat.

Although Leni does not look like a serious doctor, it can also explain her purpose at the moment.

"Aunt Carter is inside now. Please save her."

Sharon's face was full of sincerity. If the person hadn't been Leni, she might have been deceived by her acting skills.

"Don't worry, even if Mephisto comes here in person, don't try to take people away from me easily!"

Leni solemnly assured all the relatives, and then without waiting for those present to understand who Mephisto was, she gently opened the door of the ward and walked in slowly.

"coming?"

Almost as soon as the door was closed, the old man's questioning voice came from the room.

"Well, here we are, how do you feel?"

Leni responded, then walked to the hospital bed with a smile, and looked at the old Peggy Carter on the hospital bed with a smiling face.

At this time, Agent Carter didn't look like the end was approaching as Sharon Carter had said before. In addition to looking a little weak, he was clearly in good spirits!

"Hmph! You still have the nerve to laugh? What did you mix with the medicine you gave Sharon? It almost killed my old bones."

Agent Carter, lying on his back on the hospital bed, frowned and pretended to complain, moving his body to sit up.

Seeing this, Leni hurriedly stepped forward to help him, fearing that the ninety-year-old man might accidentally do something bad.

"Then don't blame me. Back then, you said you must use harsh medicine. The harsher the better. It's best if the doctors can't detect it. Then I can only use some special methods..."

"Huh? I think you want to kill me, the old woman!"

Agent Carter raised his hand as if to strike, but Leni didn't hide when she saw this. She just looked at the old man with a smile and let the other man's wrinkled hand gently pat her shoulder.

"Hmph! Did that guy come with you?"

With a slight snort, Agent Carter didn't care about Leni and simply changed the subject.

"Here we go, he's in the reception room now."

Knowing who the other party was asking about, Leni did not hide anything and recounted Captain America's performance along the way.

Agent Carter sighed slightly after hearing this, with a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

"Oh...it's all evil..."

Leni didn't answer the question and just waited silently. There was no fruit or anything in the ward, so it was hard for her to do anything.

In this way, the old man was silent for a long time, and in the end he was unable to say another word about Steve. Instead, he sighed silently and looked at Leni.

"That's almost it. You go out and announce it to them. If you need my cooperation later, you can come to me again."

Leni nodded after hearing this, helped the old man lie down again, apologized, and planned to leave.

However, before Leni could reach the door of the ward, the old man behind her suddenly called out to Leni again.

"and many more……"

Upon hearing this, Leni knew that this was a mistake, so she simply helped the old man make the decision!

"I'll go get someone here for you!"

After saying these words, without giving Peggy Carter any chance to regret it, Leni pushed open the door of the ward and rushed out as fast as she could!

Agent Carter, who was left blind on the hospital bed, shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Outside the ward, all the relatives' expressions changed immediately when they saw Leni hurriedly coming out of the room.

"This...doctor, how is Peggy doing?"

An old woman who looked somewhat similar to Sharon Carter was the first to ask. Upon seeing this, Leni quickly put on a serious expression and assured the old woman.

"The old man is in very bad health. This disease is very rare. I'm not very sure, but I will do my best to save the old man's life!"

After all the high-sounding lies, Leni ignored the doubtful looks of her relatives and took Sharon's hand aside, whispering a few words in her ear.

Sharon was overjoyed when she heard this, but her face did not show any joy. She looked at her relatives hesitantly, and finally nodded and went to discuss it with her relatives.

After all, letting an old man meet his old lover is a nice thing to talk about, so Sharon still informed these relatives.

"Mother, Aunt Carter...she said she wanted to see Mr. Rogers one last time."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the relatives around him changed slightly, and they couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.

However, due to Peggy Carter's authority in the family, these people did not dare to show their dissatisfaction on their faces. Instead, they all turned their attention to Sharon Carter's mother.

The old woman naturally felt awkward, but considering that this might be the old man's last wish before her death, she reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"Let's meet as soon as we meet. This can be regarded as settling your aunt's worries."

In this way, these two tragic figures who had been separated for more than half a century finally had a reason to reunite at this moment...
