They were both so angry they were nearly falling over.
On the screen, the footage continued.
[At the height of Iron Man and Thor's fierce battle…][A shield suddenly interrupts them!][Captain America has arrived!]
Captain America: "Stop!"
He jumped down from a tree over ten meters high, shield in hand, eyes sharp as he fixed his gaze on Thor.
Captain America: "What's your purpose here?"
Thor: "I've come to stop Loki's schemes!"
Captain America: "Produce the evidence and put down your hammer."
Iron Man had already been severely injured by Mjolnir. Hearing Cap's demand, he immediately intervened.
Iron Man: "Oh no… that's not a good idea. He really loves his hammer."
Tony realized he was asking a god to lower his beloved Mjolnir—a request only a mortal could make.
Thor felt an indescribable surge of anger. He swung his hammer, sending Iron Man flying again.
Thor: "You want me to put it down?"
Before Cap could answer, Thor leapt into the air, hammer raised, charging at him.
Captain America quickly raised his vibranium shield, blocking the hammer's strike.
Boom!
Tens of thousands of sparks of electricity spread outward from the point of contact like writhing snakes.
The dark forest, previously pitch black, suddenly became as bright as day.
Thor was blasted dozens of meters back by the shield's reflected energy.
Cap stepped back, assessing the situation.
Loki, hiding atop the mountain, watched this chaos and slipped away unnoticed, leaving a trail of devastation.
Behind the Military Camp
Captain America stared at himself on the screen, mouth agape.
Steve: "I… I lived to seventy?!""This isn't possible!""The doctors said the super-soldier serum would only enhance my physique, turn me from a weakling into a strong, tall man. At most, it would increase my muscle mass.""Even if it slowed aging, seventy years later I shouldn't look completely different!"
"This must be… some mistake!"
He stood up, wanting to consult Dr. Erskine for clarity. Then he remembered—the doctor had long passed away.
His heart sank. Yes… the dead cannot return.
But maybe… this strange screen could reveal more about the future, help him predict events, and save more lives.
He returned to the screen, studying the footage carefully.
He noticed something important.
Steve: "If I can withstand Mjolnir in the future, it's because of the shield.""Even Howard Stark's son, in a high-tech armor seventy years later, couldn't stop Thor's hammer.""This vibranium shield can perfectly absorb the impact—and even send opponents flying!"
"This is good news."
He glanced at the all-metal shield made by the USO. It had some defensive ability, but if Steve struck with full force, it would leave deep dents—let alone Mjolnir. He couldn't stop it.
So… the vibranium shield shown in the video… he had to find it.
Suddenly, a name flashed in his mind: Howard Stark.
Yes, that's right. Seventy years later, his son Tony could fight alongside him. That meant the shield must be linked to the Stark family.
Moreover, Howard Stark was currently America's largest weapons supplier. Captain America squinted, forming a plan to discuss this with Agent Carter.
SHIELD Headquarters
Nick Fury looked at the screen, still in disbelief.
Fury: "Captain America died long ago. The government confirmed his death seventy years ago! How is he alive?"
Beside him, Natasha Romanoff smiled knowingly.
Natasha: "Director, I've spent years running covert ops in the Red Room. No matter how detailed intelligence is, I always verify it personally before acting. Sometimes, what seems impossible at first turns out to be true."
Hawkeye nodded in agreement.
Hawkeye: "Director, even if Cap is considered a historical figure now, and there are museums commemorating him… back in the war, the government and Stark Industries sent plenty of people to search where his signal disappeared. But that was seventy years ago! Given the technology and organizational limits of the time, it makes sense they couldn't find him."
Fury thought for a moment.
Fury: "Who says Cap is definitely dead? If this screen is right… maybe he's still alive."
He summoned Agent Coulson.
Fury: "Coulson, send teams to the North Atlantic. Find the place where Cap's plane disappeared. I'm certain… he's there."
Stark Tower
Tony watched the video. He saw Cap evade Thor's attack, while Thor had just sent him flying. He sighed inwardly.
Tony: "It's Captain America!"
Though arrogant and narcissistic, Tony recognized the significance. Cap was a symbol of national history—a relentless spirit that inspired every soldier during the war. Even after being declared missing or dead, his legend persisted.
Cap's shield was a cherished toy for children of the era—a symbol of heroism.
Tony: "Wait… a vibranium shield? Why do I remember seeing something like this in the underground warehouse?"
He ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to scan the entire underground facility.
Finally, in a dusty corner, he found it: a red, white, and blue shield with a star in the center.
Tony caressed the dusty shield, muttering to himself.
Tony: "Could I… one day personally give this shield to Captain America?""Just thinking about it… excites me."
