Washington, S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
Mark, who hurriedly arrived, was carefully examining an old popsicle in front of him.
"So, can you ensure that he recovers without any mishaps?" Fury stood behind Mark and asked in a low voice.
"I'm not a clairvoyant, nor am I a miracle doctor. Do you really think I can determine everything just by looking and sniffing for a few minutes?!" Mark rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "But I never expected Captain America's ass to be so firm. He truly lives up to being a meme! What did the military version of the health assistant's examination report say? What were the findings?"
Next to Fury, a medical doctor from S.H.I.E.L.D. handed the report to Mark and said, "The report shows that Steve's metabolism is extremely slow, similar to the state of hibernation in some animals. There have been no signs of frostbite, and the muscles and nerves in his body have not atrophied. However, his heart rate is very weak. If he is thawed recklessly, it may lead to severe complications such as cardiac arrest or arterial rupture."
Indeed, when faced with such a unique case of being frozen for seventy years, unprecedented and unparalleled, it is necessary to be extremely cautious.
Being frozen for such a long time under a temperature below minus 40 degrees Celsius without any damage to the body tissues is already a medical miracle. Although Captain's vital signs still appear stable, it is like a delicate and fragile gem in the world. A slight touch could potentially disrupt this delicate balance and result in Captain's death.
In response to this, Mark could only propose a conservative solution. If, because of his actions, Captain Steve Rogers, who could have awakened safely, perished, Mark would carry the guilt for the rest of his life.
"Alright, here's the plan. First, we'll create a puncture in the vein of his arm and inject a glucose solution to awaken Captain's long-dormant body functions. Then, we'll proceed with slow low-temperature thawing. Afterward, we can safely transfer him to the nutrient hibernation pod for physical repair.
However, the composition of the nutrient solution needs to be adjusted slightly to generate more energy supply and nutrients. This body hasn't had any food for seventy years, so it needs a substantial replenishment."
Fury looked at the medical doctor beside him, who nodded, indicating agreement with Mark's plan.
"Very well, let's proceed with the plan as you suggested, Mark." Seeing that the two authorities in front of him had approved the plan, Fury also nodded in agreement. He trusted Mark's abilities and believed that there wouldn't be any mistakes.
As expected, things progressed smoothly, just as Fury had anticipated. After the physical repair in the nutrient hibernation pod, Steve Rogers' physical condition had returned to a healthy level, and all body indicators had reached normal standards.
Except for a temporary weakness in brainwave due to the biological clock not fully readjusting after prolonged sleep, it can be said that this thawing plan was a complete success. The remaining recovery process would rely on time as the ultimate healer to gradually help Steve recover.
Looking at Captain America, who had completely recovered and lay peacefully on the recuperation bed, Mark felt a bit emotional. "The character that used to exist only in imagination not only appeared before me but was also revived by my own hands. The wonders of destiny are truly indescribable."
"Now, should I call him Grandpa Steve or Brother Steve?"
Upon hearing Mark's words, Fury did not realize that he was reflecting on his past life. He thought Mark had mistaken Steve for a fictional character only existing in comic books and novels. Fury showed his two rows of big white teeth and explained to Mark, "Steve wasn't a character fabricated by the government back then to boost morale, nor was he a product of the wild imaginations of various writers.
Steve was a truly legendary hero who made significant contributions to winning the war. He was a distinguished figure, a heroic legend.
Moreover, he was best friends with your grandfather, Howard. They even fought together on the battlefield. Although his appearance might confuse the timeline a bit, it would be more appropriate for you to call him Uncle."
"Ah, you don't understand. What I mean is different from what you're saying. But judging by the way you've decorated this room, I guess you don't intend to tell him the truth directly?"
Looking at this room filled with colors and items from the previous century, it truly gave a sense of traveling back in time.
"He needs a process. If we suddenly reveal the whole truth to him, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it. After all, he owes someone a dance for a whole seventy years."
"But I think your method might not work. No matter how skilled the agent playing the nurse role is, without having lived in that era, it's impossible to truly portray the atmosphere of that time. Moreover, Captain America is a seasoned soldier who has received the Super Soldier Serum. In terms of perception and insight, he surpasses ordinary agents. Your arrangement won't last more than ten minutes before he figures it out."
"So, what do you suggest then? Your tone implies that you already have a good idea."
Mark smiled mysteriously, "Have you forgotten what my most profitable product is? Let him live a complete life in the virtual world. When he returns to reality, accepting the truth won't be difficult, right?"
"Can it really work?" Fury furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat concerned.
"At least it's more reliable, isn't it?"
