“We acquired it so easily?”
Besides, it was Red Skull Schmidt himself who personally handed it over. Who wouldn’t want to take it?
Opening the silver briefcase slightly, Steve confirmed the presence of the item inside. When he saw the Magic Cube emitting a mysterious blue glow, he finally believed they had truly succeeded.
Wary that the Red Skull might turn the tables, Steve wasted no time. Carrying the briefcase containing the Tesseract, he and Scott Lang smoothly exited the military fortress base, encountering no unexpected obstacles along their escape route.
Following the plan, the four of them rendezvoused deep within the primeval forest.
When Caesar and Tony learned of Steve’s acquisition of the Tesseract and that even Ant-Man Scott Lang had been a bystander the entire time, they looked at each other in disbelief, unsure of what to say.
Scott Lang chuckled mischievously, “I bet Red Skull Schmidt won’t be able to sleep tonight!”
“Not only that, but he’ll be gnawing on the floorboards while he’s in bed,” Tony quipped with a grin, still wearing his Mark-New armor.
“I don’t care if he’s asleep or not,” Steve rolled his eyes and pointed at the briefcase. He looked at Tony and then at Scott Lang and said solemnly, “Now that our mission here has been accomplished, we must hurry back to our original future timeline. After all, the future world is in chaos and many people are still waiting for us to go back and save them!”
“Exactly, it’s time to return.”
“The time travel journey ends here.”
Tony and Scott Lang sighed quietly, then turned to Steve. The three of them looked at Caesar together.
Caesar avoided their gaze, floating in the air with his hands in his pockets, showing no signs of reluctance on his young face.
“Why are you all looking at me? Since you’re in such a hurry to get back, leave a Pym Particle and the time travel device so you can take the first step,” Caesar said nonchalantly.
“Little Godfather,” Tony muttered to himself, suddenly stepping forward and hugging Caesar’s small body, rubbing his chin against the adorable face.
“Eww! Gross!” Caesar recoiled and pushed Tony’s dirty chin away with his small hand.
“You, why do you get more sentimental as you get older?”
Steve and Scott Lang exchanged smiles and also stepped forward to hug Caesar and Tony. The four of them hugged tightly, feeling the warmth emanating from each other.
Future Steve spoke seriously, “Caesar, take care of yourself.
Future Tony smiled and said quietly, “This time it really is goodbye.
Future Scott Lang laughed heartily, “Next time you see me, I may not be the same…”
“All right, enough of this! Hurry up and get back to your original timeline!” Caesar interrupted them, though a slight curve appeared on his lips, sadness shimmering in his jewel-like eyes.
Yes!
They existed in different parallel timelines, never meant to meet. Even if they had, it had been fleeting, and now they were about to part and return to their respective timelines.
This farewell was truly farewell.
“Farewell, Caesar!”
Ant-Man Scott Lang waved goodbye to Caesar one last time, holding the briefcase containing the Tesseract and miniature versions of Tony and Steve. He pressed the button to activate the time travel device and rapidly shrank until he disappeared completely into the wilderness.
Caesar floated silently in place. After a few seconds, he muttered to himself, “The mess from the future is finally cleaned up.
“Now I can do whatever I want.”
Caesar looked up at the sky, accelerating in place, scattering fallen leaves and branches on the ground as he flew faster. Wrapped in the roaring wind, he pulled a comet-like tail of gas and disappeared into the vast night sky at supersonic speed.
Five minutes later.
United States Military Training Base.
As midnight approached, the base was quiet as it neared twelve o’clock. Soldiers settled into their routines, and only a few armed guards patrolled silently.
Unnoticed by anyone, a small figure gracefully descended from the night sky like a bird and landed on the roof of an old three-story building.
“This scene… truly brings back memories.”
Caesar looked down at the full view of the training base and felt nostalgic. This was where his original self had been reincarnated, the birthplace of his rise.
“Right now, the original self in this timeline is probably scheming in secret, extracting ability cards from this soldier or instructor.”
Caesar smiled knowingly. His arrival in the current timeline was not to meet the original self of this time. He had a completely different purpose.
In any parallel timeline, one protagonist was enough, even if the original self of this timeline had not yet entered the battlefield.
“I remember she lives in the officer’s quarters, which seems to be on the second floor.”
Caesar muttered to himself, his eyes glowing faintly, using Superman’s x-ray vision, the walls and coverings in front of him dissipated like smoke, revealing the people and objects inside various houses.
It only took half a second.
Caesar found the target he was looking for. He descended from the rooftop to a building in the officer’s residential area.
Stopping in front of a room on the second floor, Caesar looked through an open window and saw a woman with short hair sleeping soundly in her bed.
Agent Carter – Peggy.
At that moment, Caesar was slightly stunned. Something had pierced his usually unshakable heart.
Without a sound, Caesar slipped quietly through the window into Agent Carter’s room.
A faint, familiar scent lingered inside. Caesar sniffed lightly, realizing that no matter how strong she usually appeared, she was still a woman.
There were open files on the desk, not closed.
Looking at them, Caesar’s body shivered slightly. One name was written on the files – “Kyle – Doffer”, circled several times with pen strokes.
Was this where it all began?
Caesar floated lightly to the bedside and looked at Agent Carter as she slept. She looked far from the image of an officer he remembered.
Less strength, more tenderness; less stubbornness, more affection.
“Peggy. I’m back.” Caesar whispered softly.
With that simple sentence, through how many identities and how many timelines?
Since the original Kyle had left Earth, the farewell in the wheat field, Agent Carter had become an irreparable regret for him.
That regret lasted to this day. It was also the reason why the alter ego Caesar had followed Steve and others into this World War II timeline.
Across time and space, just to catch a glimpse of you.
Caesar approached gently, lightly touching Agent Carter’s face with his small hands. “If you could do it over again, would you regret meeting Kyle? Well, that answer is for you to slowly find out in this timeline.”
…
Agent Carter’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she awoke from her dream and opened her beautiful eyes to see the moonlight streaming through the window, casting a silver glow.
Frowning slightly, Agent Carter touched her left cheek, where a drop of undried tear glistened.
Even someone as strong as Kyle had shed a tear for Agent Carter – the only tear he had ever shed.
