Exuvia

After dealing with the 'spy', Arthur was wondering where he could find Carter.

The spies from Hydra were very hard to catch. And with how devoted they were to their cause, they would have probably killed themselves within moments of their capture. The suicide pill was very troublesome, the poison worked too fast for any antidote to be applied.

So when he found out that this person was from the Hydra, the first thing he wanted to focus on was to get rid of the other person's teeth. That was the best way to prevent the person from killing.

After incapacitating him, he could only hide him in the trash can. Well, carrying a man while running around, was too much of an eye-catcher.

When he returned to the exhibition hall, it was still just as lively. He originally intended to report directly to Dr. Erskine. But his attention was caught by someone, he saw a handsome young man in a military uniform.

There were lots of people just like him, he remembered hearing about a new group recruits reporting to the front line tomorrow.

But this was not what caught his attention, it was the thin teenager near him sending him off.

This scene, this image, was very familiar !

"Steve and Bucky..." Sigh. This was the moment he was familiar with. Watching something familiar calmed him down.

- It is starting ... -

When he passed by the future Captain America, he felt that it was just surreal, to be honest. So thin and short... Remembering what he would look like in the future, he couldn't help but think - Life is so unfair... -

Not far away, Dr. Erskine was in deep thought, looking at Steve's fleeting figure. It took a while for him to notice Arthur by his side.

"How are you feeling?" The doctor suddenly asked him.

Arthur, in a mood for mischief, said : "You are such a good doctor."

" What ? ", Dr. Erskine was confused.

Arthur blinked: "Well, I understand your ... preference. Who woudn't like a beautiful, petite and white skinned ... young man."

"..." Dr. Erskine's face turned blue.

Looking at Arthur snickering, he couldn't help but point his finger nad say: "Are you kidding me? Just let me meet your father, one word and you won't be able to sit down for a week! "

Arthur coughed, finally looking serious, he asked: "Is he that intriguing?"

"Yes, he is..." Dr. Erskine nodded seriously, thinking back about his words.

"That's great, doctor! I'll make sure that he appears on your bed tonight, no matter what it takes !", Arthur appeared very serious, with one hand on his pistol.

"God-dammit! Arthur! Stop with your jokes!", Dr. Erskine was exasperated.

"Okay, but Dr., have you finished your meeting with Howard?"

"I haven't seen him yet.That guy is the highlight of this evening. It'll take time. Anyway, what do you think of his suspension car?"

"That is very interesting." Arthur nodded: "And I almost forgot, I need to find Carter now!"

"Trying to take your chances, boy?" Dr. Erskine began his revenge.

"... Not today. I just caught a spy who was after you." He said.

Erskine was stunned, and this piece of info surprised stunned him speechless. He certainly was not expecting this just as he started joking.

"You said you caught... a spy? Who was after me?"

"Yes." Arthur said: "I am not very good at interrogation and stuff, so I thought that it would be better to leave it ti the professionals."

"What if there's a second around?"

"At the moment, I can't guarantee it, but if you can, then from next time, you should not stray out of my sight as much as possible."

Erskine was obviously concerned for his own life.: "Let's go see Howard."

It was really interesting to find Howard in the backstage. The group of girls who had just finished performing were walking around him in the corridor. Some people shouting, and some rushing over to send flowers to him...

In the dressing room, Howard was changing his clothes, and both of them were waited for him.

"Dr. Erskine, Nice to see you again!"

Howard and Erskine shook hands and then looked at Arthur.

"This is Arthur." Dr. Erskine briefly introduced: "Responsible for my life."

"Your life is indeed very precious." Howard said: "Since he has been assigned to protect you, he must be very good at his job."

"I agree with you. Arthur is indeed very capable. Best sharpshooter in the army. Not only that, but also a hero. He even once infiltrated into the enemy camp and assassinated the commander!"

When Dr. Erskine was saying this, his face was full of pride. Arthur was embarassed, it was a new feeling for him.

- Was this how it felt being praised by a parent. -

Howard was awe-struck, and quickly patting his back: "I admire your heroism, its rare seeing a hero here, you know."

"I have also heard of your achievements, Mr.Stark." Arthur replied: "This evening's speech is very invigorating."

This is not just flattery, this man did have a special charm. The concept of hovering car, which was showcased tonight.When others were thinking of improving engines, this man dared dream of fly in his own car!

"Haha, my car will definately fly in the future. Of course, there are still some little technical difficulties at the moment, but not for long." Howard said with a smile: "If i do make one, I will definately gift you one too."

"I hope its done before I die." Arthur just shrugged.

"Life should always be full of hope!"

Howard smiled and said.

"Enough with all that chatter, there is one thing I hope you can handle it for us." Dr. Erskine interrupted Howard: "You see, Arthur caught a spy before coming here whose objective seemed to be me."
