Chapter 513 Pre-War Comfort
Inside a large transport ship, members who are about to carry out the infiltration mission are sitting inside.
The Avengers include Captain America, Black Widow, Ant-Man and the Wasp. The Jedi Knights include Aayla Secura, Quinlan Vos and Barriss Offee. The clone troopers, which have the advantage in numbers, include Bly and his three ARC troopers, as well as Delta Team and Alien Team.
The fleet arrived outside the Lolasayu system, and once stabilized, the infiltration team began to move towards the hyperspace channel, which would lead them directly into the target system.
As the information obtained from Karin, Ford and Alpha indicated, they quickly spotted a dilapidated cargo transport ship heading towards the castle.
With the efforts of Tap and Karen, they cleverly sneaked into the freighter through a hole in the side, successfully avoiding all detection, and cleverly shrunk their bodies when the ship entered hyperspace.
At the same time, this large infiltration team was making intensive and detailed preparations for the mission. The ARC soldiers repeatedly checked their equipment to ensure that everything was in place, just as rigorously as the Delta Team and the Alien Team.
In the brief exchange before the mission, most people seemed calm and focused. However, there was an Avenger and a Jedi Knight who seemed a little different. Captain America turned around and found that it was the Jedi Flower Aayla who looked at him with concern.
"Are you okay?" A soft and familiar voice came from Captain America.
Captain America calmly responded, "Hmm? Sorry, Ella, I was just thinking about something else. Did you ask me something?"
Aayla nodded, sitting next to him and saying, "You look troubled, my friend. It's the same expression you made when you first learned of Ultron's attack on the galaxy."
Captain America's eyes wandered slightly. "Really?"
Ayla's expression looked a little conflicted, but she soon put on a more determined look. "Do you remember the promise we made to each other after Master Kili's funeral? We would always open our hearts when we needed to talk to each other."
Hearing this, Captain America's eyebrows slightly raised, with a hint of surprise and emotion in his eyes. He looked at Ella, as if he saw a comrade-in-arms fighting side by side and a tacit understanding without words. This emotion was intertwined with the tense atmosphere of the mission, adding a different color to the upcoming adventure.
Then a gentle force gave him a slight push, and he staggered, but did not retreat. He noticed that Ella seemed to be pouting.
He sighed and leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees and folding his hands. Captain America looked her straight in the eye and admitted, "I'm... still just as confused as last time. I know it's here because of us."
Ella frowned, as if searching for the right words. She suddenly reached forward and gently held his hand, her eyes full of concern and pleading.
"Steve, you can't blame yourself like this." Her voice was full of pleading. "This is not your fault. We can't change what happened."
Captain America seemed a little emotional. "Ella, we fought with Ultron and the whole city was destroyed. I thought we paid such a huge price and it was over. But now, it has invaded a galaxy and tried to take over the entire galaxy. Who knows what crazy moves it will make? We had a chance to deal with it."
Ella whispered, trying to calm him down: "Steve, you can't think like this. I understand, but we have to face reality and fight for the present and the future."
She placed her hand gently on his again, and this time he felt her warmth and firmness. "Let's not dwell on the past and let it define us. The past is the past, and you can't live in it forever."
Captain America was silent for a moment, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. "You're right, Ella. Maybe I do need to find a way to free myself and get rid of these heavy burdens."
At this time, Ella Secura gently placed her hand on Captain America's cheek, her eyes full of love and encouragement. "Steve, you have to believe that you have the ability to overcome these troubles. Only when you are willing to free yourself can you truly move forward."
Ella's voice was gentle but firm. "Some things cannot be changed, but you can choose how to face them. You must understand that the only way to move forward is to keep moving forward."
She released her hand and gently held Captain America's other hand, "Let's face the future together."
As the rest of the team was absorbed in preparing for the mission, neither of them realized they were being watched. Black Widow stared at them from the corner of her eye, while Bly glanced at them from time to time, and Ayla's former master Voss turned his head back with a meaningful smile on his face.
Black Widow's gaze fell on Bligh, the commander of the 327th Regiment. She nodded tacitly and signaled to the two men.
Bly frowned, his eyes twinkling with mischief. He seemed to receive a hint from the Black Widow and responded with a smile.
The two men silently planned their mischief while their subjects continued their conversation, seemingly unaware of the tension around them.
"How's Barris doing?" Captain America asked.
"She's nervous, like many on board," Ella replied.
Captain America looked at Padawan, who sat alone, her head bowed, her arms folded around herself. He frowned, because Ella had also noticed Padawan's unusual calmness.
"Did she mention this mission?" Captain America asked in a low voice.
Ayla recalled the conversation she had with Luminara before they left. "Luminara mentioned that Barriss seemed to have been greatly disturbed recently, and this disturbance affected her far more than she expected."
Captain America's face showed a thoughtful expression, his heart was full of doubts. He whispered to himself: "These interferences... I never really asked them how they really felt."
Ella replied: "It varies. For some people it's like drowning. All of a sudden, a weight is placed on them. They are afraid to look inside themselves. All sorts of symptoms come to them."
"It sounds more like a disease." Captain America said puzzledly.
Ayla nodded. "It is possible that this could happen," she admitted. "But the interference of the Force really makes me feel... Have you ever had this feeling, as if something suddenly grabbed your soul?"
Captain America couldn't help but blink after hearing this. He felt that there was some ominous premonition in these words. Just as he was trying to organize his thoughts, Voss's voice came from the front, breaking the silence.
"We are about to exit hyperspace." His voice was calm and firm.
Aila and Captain America looked at each other, their hands still tightly clasped together. Aila noticed that she had unconsciously held Captain America's hand, and felt a little embarrassed. However, she did not feel ashamed or uncomfortable about it, but just smiled back at him and gently squeezed his hand, trying to give each other a brief comfort during the upcoming mission.
Captain America simply smiled in response, his eyes full of determination and confidence as they gathered with the rest of the team, and he felt truly grateful for this silent gesture of support from Aayla.
