Of course.
Fairy tales are one thing, and reality is another. You can’t believe in all fairy tales, and you can’t believe in all reality.
Barbara didn't know this, she only knew: "You mean, Rogers was cursed by a witch, and if the curse needs to be lifted, the only way is to kill the witch who cast the curse?"
Baker pursed his lips and thought for a while: "This is also a way."
Barbara looked at Baker suspiciously: "It doesn't matter, is this a good curse?"
Baker said: "Without this curse, even if he was injected with the super soldier serum, Rogers would have turned into a pile of meat."
All right.
This Sleeping Beauty curse is the real reason why Steve Rogers can still live again after being frozen for more than seventy years. At least, that's how it is in this version.
only……
Baker thought for a while and looked at Barbara: "Do you know the conditions for casting the Sleeping Beauty Curse?"
"condition?"
"Um."
Baker nodded. In a sense, Sleeping Beauty's curse can be regarded as a spell that can make people live longer. It achieves the effect of immortality by deceiving time.
nature……
The more time-related spells are, the conditions for its casting must exist.
Just The Curse of Sleeping Beauty?
Baker looked back at Ms. Peggy Carter, who looked like she had returned to the last century, with flaming red lips and blond hair, and then couldn't help but hesitate.
The Curse of Sleeping Beauty has a condition.
The caster must deeply love the person being cast, and at the same time, the person being cast must be willing to accept the spell.
so……
Baker was hesitant to tell Peggy Carter. After all, in the public perception and in Peggy Carter's own perception, Captain America's Steve Rogers was great and his emotional history was very simple.
Captain America has only one confidante, and that is Peggy Carter.
at the moment?
I feel like Idol Glory is shattered.
but.
None of my business.
Baker's heart moved. It was not him whose image was shattered. If you dare to do something, you must dare to admit it. Baker has always adhered to this sentence. He is a big man and stands upright.
so.
Baker said something about the Sleeping Beauty curse.
The next second.
The temperature in the treatment room dropped at a visible speed, and the source of the cold was the flaming red-lipped Peggy Carter.
Barbara looked at the evil smile that curved up at the corner of Baker's mouth for less than a second, couldn't help pinching Baker, and then said to Peggy Carter: "Ms. Carter, I think there may be other reasons for this matter." explain?"
Peggy Carter was expressionless: "Other explanation?"
Barbara nodded, her little mind spinning rapidly: "Maybe...could it be that in order to be able to keep the appointment, Captain Rogers found a witch friend and asked her to cast a curse?"
I am indeed smart.
After Barbara finished saying this, she silently praised her wit.
only……
Peggy Carter chuckled: "Barbie, the condition for casting the curse of Sleeping Beauty is that the caster must love the caste deeply."
"..."
Barbara opened her mouth, and then couldn't help but look at Beck.
Baker's expression was indifferent, and he said the same thing, it doesn't concern him: "I have already given you the answer, and it is no longer my business here. Either wait for a year for Rogers to wake up slowly by himself, or find the witch, Let her lift the curse.”
Said.
Baker raised his head, and boom, the teleportation light came. Within three and a half seconds, the transmission ended, and Baker had disappeared into the treatment room.
……This guy.
Barbara looked at the place where Baker disappeared, her eyebrows beating wildly, and it was like this again, leaving the mess for her to clean up, hey, hey, hey, I'm pregnant.
Peggy Carter walked up to Steve Rogers, who looked like Sleeping Beauty, expressionlessly. After a moment of silence, she turned to Barbara and said, "I thought I knew him very well."
Barbara said: "Ms. Carter, your love with Captain Rogers is recognized by the world."
"Is it still the case?"
"certainly!"
Barbara nodded and said: "In the last call, Captain Rogers hoped that he could go to the appointment on time. It's yours, isn't it?"
Peggy Carter seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help laughing, stroking the sleeping Steve Rogers: "You are more than seventy years late for this dance."
Said.
Peggy Carter took a deep breath, then turned around with clear eyes: "Authorization number, Aegis Zero Zero Zero, inform Sanfei to take out this information, I want to see it."
Barbara said: "Ms. Carter..."
Peggy Carter said: "He has been late for more than 70 years. It has been long enough. I will not let him sleep peacefully for another year."
I want to see if it's that damn Bichi who is trying to steal a man from me.
Barbara felt the rising jealousy in Peggy Carter, opened her mouth, and finally nodded.
In the afternoon.
Barbara returns home.
Beck also just completed the preliminary round of an online e-sports game. He and Kate Beckett successfully led the oil bottle Richard Castle and Alexis Castle into the thirty-two Strong competition.
Barbara rolled her eyes at Baker who came down the spiral staircase.
Baker came down: "What's wrong?"
Barbara was a little speechless: "What do you think?"
It was a wonderful reunion after so many years. It was such a touching and earth-shattering love story, but it was completely ruined by this guy.
Baker walked into the bar: "Even if I don't tell you, with Peggy Carter's connections, it is normal for her to want to know the solution to the Sleeping Beauty curse."
Barbara sighed: "Ms. Carter is already looking for the witch."
Baker said a great thing.
Barbara came over, took the yogurt handed over by Baker, took a sip, and then said curiously: "What do you think, Captain Rogers and this witch?"
Baker shook his head directly: "It's none of my business, I won't make any comments."
Who knows what past history Rogers had with this unknown witch. Although Baker also wanted to hear the gossip, he was too lazy to dig into the gossip that he needed to find out for himself.
Being a boss is better than being a wage earner.
and.
In addition to Captain Rogers and the unknown triangle between the unknown witch and Peggy Carter, Baker is full of expectations for the upcoming Christmas tour.
We went on a Christmas trip with Richard's family, and the destination was Byram, New Jersey.
Baker said, "When are you going to take your vacation?"
"What's wrong?"
"Christmas trip."
"……correct."
When Barbara heard Baker mention this Christmas trip, she thought of something and asked, "By the way, haven't you always been opposed to traveling outside of New York? Why are you not opposed to it this time?"
"Richard had inherited a fortune and I wanted to see it," Baker said.
wrong.
To be precise, Alexis inherited an inheritance from Grandma Martha's family, which was the inheritance of a man named Clive Rogers.
Speaking of which, if Martha is Steve Rogers' cousin, then this Clive Rogers is Steve Rogers' cousin.
This Clive Rogers never married. Ten days ago, Clive Rogers died of illness in his New Jersey estate. People from the estate execution company found Alexis based on Clive Rogers' will.
Alexis inherited the entire estate.
This made Richard Castle feel a little dissatisfied. After all, in terms of favorability, Richard felt that his favorability with Clive Rogers was higher than that of his daughter Alexis.
Alexis was very excited after hearing that she had inherited the entire inheritance of Clive Rogers, and kept saying that she wanted to go to the Rogers Manor in Byram.
No.
Richard decided that after Christmas, he would take a bath in a hot spring not far from the manor.
Barbara nodded: "Okay, then when will we set off? Is it after Christmas Eve?"
Baker shook his head: "Martha had something to do and went to London. Richard and I thought we should go there early. After all, the manor belongs to Alexis. Even if Alexis doesn't live there, it would be good to go and clean it. .”
And Christmas is a big holiday. Who knows what good things you can buy in the mall over there if you just go there.
Barbara thought for a while: "Then just a week later. It should be okay if we go ten days in advance."
Baker drank his bourbon: "Of course you can, but let Natasha help you on duty this year, okay?"
Barbara smiled and said: "Who said I asked for leave? I was on a business trip."
Beck blinked.
Barbara stood up and kissed Baker on the forehead: "My dear, it is my duty as a commander to watch you and prevent you from destroying the world."
Baker: "..."
The week passed very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, it was time for Baker and Richard to drive to Rogers Manor in Byram, New Jersey for a vacation as agreed.
This time, Kate Beckett, the head of the New York Police Department's Major Crimes Unit, went with him.
Yes.
Two months ago, Richard and Kate finally confirmed their relationship after several years of dating. Baker heard from Martha that when they first met, they were no different than frightened rabbits.
Baker regretted not being there.
soon.
The two people responsible for driving also drove up their respective vehicles from the underground garage.
Byram, New Jersey, is still a long way from New York. Although it is okay to drive one car, Baker strongly requested two. When driving on federal highways, the chance of encountering an ogre if one car breaks down is very high. Cars are different.
but……
Just as the Baker and Richard families set off for the Rogers Manor in Byram, Ms. Peggy Carter, who was re-investigating the background information of Steve Rogers at the SHIELD Center in New York, also made a discovery.
