Chapter 193: Let''s Groove


    Sleeping Beauty is the code name given to Captain America after he was found in the ice. He was perfectly healthy with no medical condition, but he was still in aa.


    The doctors tried their best to ensure that he did not go into shock when he woke up, so they created a fake set of the 40s New York hospital room. It even had a radio that yed a speech by a well-known man.


    Then suddenly, his eyes opened, and he looked at the ceiling. So confused about everything as thest thing he remembered was crashing the ne into the arctic and losing consciousness to the ice that started to surround him.


    The air didn''t feel pleasant to him as the weird rubber-burning aroma pierced his lungs. Finally, he got up to sit. He looked left and right and noticed everything was the samejust a simple hospital room.


    ~Was I saved?~ he wondered.


    Just then, the door opened, and he became alert. He stood up with his arms up. But he calmed down when he saw it was just an army nurse. She was all smiles when greeting him, "Good morning, Captain."


    "Where am I?" Steve bluntly asked as his brows furrowed.


    "You''re in a recovery room in New York City," she answered.


    Steve was convinced at first. But then he looked at the radio again, and his eyes narrowed, "Where am I really?"


    The nurse fidgeted with her hand in nervousness, "I''m afraid I don''t understand,"


    "This speech. Mister President gave it before the Pearl Harbor happened. I know he gave it in May 1941 because it happened in Brooklin, and I was there." He got up and started walking to her, "I''m gonna ask you again. Where am I?


    "WHO ARE YOU!"


    "Capt..."


    Well, Hector made him a firm believer in gender equality. He simply threw her to the side and broke through the door she entered. Luckily, the guards were about to enter when he sted through, throwing them away as well.


    Being Captain America, he was much stronger than any man in the building. It was like an adult wrestler plowing through a crowd of kindergarten kids. He would just shove them here and there, which was enough to get out of the building.


    He didn''t take the lift but instead ran down the stairs. There were a lot of them, but he didn''t tire out. All he wanted to know was where he was and if he could keep the promise he made to his wife. He just wanted to meet her and pull her into his arms. As talking to her was thest human contact he had before "dying."


    *BAM!*


    He opened thest door and appeared right in the middle of a busy street. The cars were honking around and moving past. People didn''t wear suits and looked too different. They all had something attached to their ear or had a marble te in their hands. There were also lights everywhere, the boards and advertisements.


    His heart panicked, and he started to run as fast as he could right on the road opposite the traffic. He knew the street but not like this. Soon, he ended up in the middle of Times Square.


    The traffic and the crowd were insane there. People walking around with t-shirts of I love New York and clicking pictures. Music was being sted around here and there. The various buildings were covered with big boards of bright moving advertisements. The women were not conservative at all and walked around in extremely short clothes. Heck, there was an advertisement for condoms.


    *SHHH*


    The sound of multiple vehicles intensely stopping came. He looked around and found various ck cars surrounding him.


    "At ease, soldier," Fury walked to him in his ck suit.


    Steve turned around and looked at him. Awaiting for what this guy had to say.


    "I am Colonel Nichs Joseph Fury. I''m sorry about that little show. An old man suggested it, and now I know he just wanted to prove his point. But... we thought it''d be best to break it to you slowly," Fury exined.


    Steve was more confused than before now, "Break what?" he asked while breathing fast.


    "You''ve been asleep, cap. For almost seventy years."


    Steve stumbled a few steps back. The revtion hit him like a truck. His eyes filled with regret and sorrow in an instant. He looked around so as not to end up crying. The promise to have a fantastic life with Peggy, to have three kids, and be like a normal family. All went to the dump. ~I hope you lived a happy life, Peggy,~


    "You gonna be okay, cap?"


    "Yeah. Just feeling a bitlost."


    Let this groove, get you to move.


    It''s alright, alright.


    Let this groove, set in your shoes.


    Stand up, alright.


    All of a sudden, loud music started toe from some distance. It was faint at first but kept growing. Soon the howls of a dog also apanied it. Everyone looked in that direction.


    There was a car headed towards them. It was an old ssic car, a 1959 Chevrolet Imp Convertible.


    "Let''s groove..."


    "WOooooo..."


    Hector and Moony sang in the roofless car and stopped beside Steve. Hector dropped his sses to his nose and looked at him with a big smile, "You seem lost, kid. Need a ride?"


    "Wowo?" Moony asked the same.


    Steve''s jaw was left hanging. He looked at Fury and saw him nodding towards him. "A-Are you the real..."


    "Yup, Hector King Washington in the flesh. And you know Moony. Moony, jump in the back and let Steve sit here,"


    "Wuf!" ~NO!~


    "You want pup cup?" He bribed with ice cream.


    In an instant, Moony jumped into the backseat and rxed. Steve didn''t waste more time either and got into the car. Then Hector just pressed on the gas and zoomed out of the busy intersections.


    Steve kept staring at him. So Hector allowed, "Ask whatever you want, son."


    "How? How are you also alive? Were you stuck in the ice as well?"


    "Bwahaha... not at all. I''m just immortal, Moony as well. You can think of me as a mutant, but not really a mutant. I''m just an extraordinary magical godly human. I don''t age at all. Though heads up, the world thinks I''m dead since I went missing from 1988 to a few years back. Oh, by the way. I got a big surprise for you."


    Steve looked in the backseat. Moony was fighting his biggest enemy, the wind. And he seemed to be losing at this point. "Moony? Do you remember me?"


    Moony nodded quickly, "Wef."


    "Yes, I''m Steve. And what is this song? This strange music,"


    Hector smirked, "That''s a song from the 80s called Earth, Wind & Fire - Let''s Groove. You know, I was thinking of starting to make content on Youtube and getting famous among youngsters. Maybe we should do a cob. It''d be dope to see Captain America and President Washington rapping,"


    "What''s Youtube?" Steve asked.


    In an instant, Hector''s head fell, "Oh boy. You''re going to need so many software updates. But let''s wait, so I don''t have to repeat everything."


    "Are you still the president?" He inquired.


    Hector sighed, "No. I thought things wouldn''t go downhill, but I''m afraid I will have to stand for re-election this year soon. I will win, though. I already have a banger n,"


    *WOOSH*


    "Hello, my sweethearts,"


    Out of nowhere, Wonder Womannded right into the backseat and hugged Moony. Then she hugged Hector''s neck from behind and pecked on his cheek, sending shivers of wholesomeness down his body.


    "Steve, meet my partner, Diana Prince. She''s a superhuman being with aplicated past," he introduced.


    Diana was amazed, "Oh, the famed Super Soldier? You seem healthy. I''m sure Hector''s taking you to the surprise,"


    Steve was more amazed by something else, however. "You two are married?"


    Before Diana could say something, Hector spoke, "No, we''re not married... yet."


    Diana blushed secretly. She thought he was just going to say no. But him adding ''yet'' meant that he was not against the idea of making their rtionship permanent.


    Steve moved closer to Hector and asked something in a whisper, "So... you''re not anymore... you know... unsullied?"


    *COUGH*


    Hector stared at Steve''s face in shock. What did the seventy years do to him? But what he didn''t know was that the whole army knew about Hector''s longsting virginity. People made bets for which year he''d lose it. Sadly, all lost since most had died.


    "Moony, you want that pup cup? Let''s get it," He changed the conversation quickly since he had no answer to that question.
