"This is the former headquarters of your company. Why did you bring me here?"
After opening the door and getting out of the car, Captain recognized this building at a glance.
However, compared to the grandeur and hustle of this building when the employees of the Mark Research Center used to work here, now appeared like a lonely old man, giving off a heavy sense of lifelessness.
"Yes, this is the company building my dad prepared for me earlier, but as the company's business grew, this space became insufficient.
After the company relocated to a new headquarters building, I renovated this place, turning it into a rehabilitation center that combines physical therapy and psychological intervention, providing both medical and therapeutic functions."
As Mark introduced the functions of the building to Captain, he led him to the top floor.
"The building is equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment and an automated diagnostic system.
In the medical area, I've installed my latest improved nutritional hibernation pods. If you need, you can bring Director Peggy Carter here to spend her remaining time in ease and happiness.
And the surprise, which is also a bit of trouble, I've prepared for you is on the top floor of this building."
"So, the person you brought me to see is inside, right?" Hearing Mark's explanation of the building's functions, Captain had already deduced what the surprise might be.
However, he still didn't have a specific answer as to who the person he was going to meet was.
But at this moment, Captain had silently made a decision – he was determined to bring Carter here, so she could pass her remaining time in life without pain.
"Yes, I brought you here today to meet someone. He's inside now, and you can go in."
The elevator reached the top floor, where there was only one room and an entrance. Mark pointed to the only door and signaled to Captain.
With a mix of curiosity and puzzlement, Captain stepped forward to open the door. What met his eyes behind the door was a face he couldn't be more familiar with – "Bucky!"
"Steve?!" As Captain called out Bucky's name, Bucky was also quick to call out Captain's name.
After calling out each other's names, just as if they had prearranged it, they silently gazed into each other's eyes, conveying complexity and reminiscence, yet understanding each other without speaking a word.
Perhaps silence was more powerful than words at this moment, or maybe the years of separation and the shock had left both of them speechless. Meanwhile, Mark sensed a strong camaraderie in the air.
"I apologize for interrupting your reunion, but since you've already received the surprise I prepared, now it's time for you to help me with a challenging problem..."
The three of them engaged in a lengthy conversation in the room, and no one knew what kind of results they had discussed.
However, on the same day when Captain returned to the Avengers training base, he quickly convinced Sam and Wanda to agree to sign above the "Seoul Accords."
Immediately, a meeting was convened to discuss the modifications to certain unacceptable clauses in the "Seoul Accords".
After the meeting, the conclusions drawn were largely in line with the suggestions put forth by Baymax.
And eventually, due to the efforts of both Tony and Mark, as well as the coordination of Phil Coulson, the current Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., a total of 117 countries that were signatories of the United Nations agreed to the proposed revisions to the Accords as presented by the Avengers.
As a result of these changes, the originally scheduled United Nations conference was postponed by a month.
At that time, the signing of the "Seoul Accords" would coincide with the meeting in Vienna, where Wakanda would officially open up as a nation and join the United Nations organization.
"I initially thought that only Tony, Rhodey, Quicksilver, and I would be signing at the meeting in Vienna. I never expected that Mark would manage to persuade all of you at the last moment. How did he pull it off?"
With the Avengers' demands approved, Natasha also felt relieved and approached Captain to have a conversation.
"Even though there are limitations, it doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong. Maintaining unity is more important than how restricted we are. Sometimes, for the sake of the team, individuals have to relinquish some of their own desires."
"You're still as straightforward as ever, Steve. I'm not curious about the decisions you and Mark made behind closed doors. I just want to remind you not to repeat the same mistake as Tony.
Don't keep secrets and do things you believe are right without informing everyone. This approach not only exhausts you but also weighs down your comrades."
"..." Captain opened his mouth, wanting to offer some explanation, but it seemed that Natasha's words hit a sensitive nerve, leaving him at a loss for words.
In the end, Captain remained silent, and Natasha could tell by his expression that her guess was correct.
There must have been some kind of agreement reached between Captain and Mark in private, which led to Captain's change of attitude and his successful persuasion of Sam and Wanda to agree to sign the accords.
"If you don't want to speak or haven't figured out how to put it into words yet, then you don't have to say anything for now.
Just remember to prepare for the meeting in a month's time. Besides signing the accords, we also need to ensure the security of the 117 representatives from United Nations member states and the Wakandan delegation.
Don't let these matters affect your focus."
"Rest assured, I won't let this interfere with the mission. I'm just not ready to make this matter public with everyone at the moment. But believe me, it won't take too long before I personally provide everyone with an explanation."
"I believe you, because – you are our captain."
